I'll end the season with cormora...

scissors are great. You can really take them on a plane? Scissors are basically two bad knives, where 1 of them serves as a cutting board. A very good knife like a mora 511 can be bought for 5 dollars.

At which point you can nearly cook anything anywhere.
When travelling, a difficulty is to know what to buy.

Ernst Scribler visited me. We walked around the city, and the day after, we biked (and pushed bike) toward my house. He seemed impressed by the scenery, i was a bit ashamed by how squeequie my bike chain was. I greased it, after a quick brush, and now it's silent enough for me to ear the unevenness ...

@moutainfrugal
I have no customers, and I got my aspirations crushed by a successful businessman.

@chenda When you answer rentier or rentière, most french people will assume that you were born with a passive income. I usually say I'm a mover, because altough I only work like one day a month, this is actually what I do for work. Before I had this job, i usually said that I bought a house when I w...

I have it quite precisely drawn on 1:200'000 maps with a stabilo mark. If you don't want to visit me immediatly, there is also this map. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8a/Lignedepartagedeseaux%281%29.png The High Tatra part was really nice, altough the eastern most third is very cr...

Here is an approximate map for those who want an idea, without looking up those localities

i went hiking in france again. I only go for a few day at a time, so it's quite an expensive hobby, train fares are around 50 chf each way. I think I wont go back hiking in france unless it's for a longer stretch of time, or if i hve something else to do in the area. On my water divide hike, i've hi...

my gf parents made a stirofoam cube with a hole in shape of their pot. They just but the pot in the box when the pot is hot.

i agree, but this person's avatar come from one of the best band to ever exist: magma

you'll still have one country where it wont be valid. But you get to pick which

it's really nice, but i wouldn't draw attention to it, because if too many people do it, it might get nerfed. Something similar can be done in switzerland, but as their are no night trains, you wild camp in rural location. Those strategy work well with interrail too. Interrail is cheaper, but doesn'...

why the camino in particular when there are lots of long distance hiking trails? real question not a judgement, i'm also following an imaginary line on the ground.

the purpose of playing video game is to leave more space for people that don't find flow in video games ane have an other purpose. Of course, condition were you find an other purpose might arise in the futur.
Main thing that seem to keep people doing things outside of video game seems to be pride.

your post made me realise i forgot my vacuum bottle i use for cooking while hiking. i boil the water once, pour it in the botlle to pre heat it, close the bottle, cook the meal until hot, pour it in the bottle, close the bottle, wait about 25 minutes for rice, eat. It saves a lot of gaz, it's cost e...

I'de go further than plotkin. Our niche might not exist. The way life prepares for changes is mostly by generating semi random variations among individual, so that some of them could be able to fill ecological niches that might arrise in the future, and of course also for the niche that are allready...
