How's hampter

[rare veldt]

He is alive and very old

And still as scary as ever

For the two days he lived downstairs the cat would not come to my house lmao

This was us camping in the living room

-# Yes I also had one of my guns lmao

[obsidian bay]

Wym, the hamster has the gun

[rare veldt]

Lmao

This is his gun

He was so young back then 🥹

[manic inlet]

bro knows ball

has that big iron

the M1911A1

[manic inlet]

he has that dawg in him ig 😭

[rare veldt]

Yip! He has good taste in guns

[rare veldt]

Lmao

[manic inlet]

same spirit as them norwegian lemmings thatll square up with eagles

[rare veldt]

Frfr

He is a bit to goof to lose to a cat

Besides he knows that there is a giant that would rip apart any small carnivore that attempted his life

[manic inlet]

😂

[manic inlet]

true lmao

[rare veldt]

Lol

[rare veldt]

Hru today Doc?

[manic inlet]

quite good, this is the week that draw results load

ive gotten my preference points for moose, bear, and deer

[rare veldt]

Good to hear that

[manic inlet]

still waiting on the elk point and on finding out if i got my pronghorn license

[rare veldt]

Oooo nice!

[rare veldt]

Bet hopefully they will give you them

[obsidian bay]

He's my hero

[rare veldt]

He would protect you no problems lol

[obsidian bay]

[rare veldt]

Lol

[main trail]

He's the future Jesse James, he's going to be the next "professional?" (idk how else to describe it) Bank robber

[rare veldt]

Nah he is too old for that now lol

[main trail]

Oh his children will then lol

[rare veldt]

Currently he spends his days telling stories of the good old days to the young ones of the chapter

[rare veldt]

Yip lmao

[mossy badge]

Well, you've heard about the legend of Jesse James, and John Henry just to mention some names. Well there's a truck driving legend in the south today: A man called Bandit from Atlanta, GA

[main trail]

Jesse James is my all time favorite because he robbed banks in my area lol

I live next to towns he robbed banks in which is why he's my favorite bank robber lmao

Like a town less than 30 miles from me was when the gang decided to try to rob a bank that held $60,000 in their time period (around 10 mil today) but 2 of Jesse's gang were shot and killed during the attempt and the robbery failed😕

Jesse was shot and actually survived by hiding in caves around the area in Minnesota (state that I live in)

[harsh heron]

No, gelatin has marshmallow in them?

[main trail]

And The Jesse james gang were considered "heros" for robbing banks lol

Idk how that makes sense but...

[dusty socket]

people have always romanticized "bad guys"

[cold inlet]

Some people are born bad others are conditioned to be some. Depends on what you define as being a "bad guy"

Jesse was conditioned, obviously he made his choices. But, in that time I guess he was desperate to live a different life away from poverty and violence.

What I don't get is why on earth is there a jeffrey dalmer fan club"? 😂

[west bronze]

Bc people are weird

[cold inlet]

For sure, people can be

[thorn cargo]

I main survivor :3

[manic marlin]

yoooooo sameeee

i’m tryna learn oni tho

[thorn cargo]

I main sadako when I play killer tho

oni is cool!

[manic marlin]

sadako is sweet too did you watch the full 13 hour killer reveal stream

i stuck around for 10 hours then called it and missed the reveal lmfao

[thorn cargo]

No I didn't! I haven't been playing much recently, but I got sad when michael's DLC was removed

I heard that they're adding a friday the 13th DLC finally

[manic marlin]

yeah they did a 13 hour stream to reveal it, also it is a shame that michael was removed but o understand it bc of copyright reasons

jason looks rlly fun to play tho so if you do have the time and interest i would say rn he’s worth

[thorn cargo]

Yeah but I hope they bring him back because imo he's the most fun killer to play against

least fun imo is whesker I know that's controversial lol

But it's EVERY MATCH why does everyone play him 😭

[manic marlin]

omg wesker😭😭😭😭 he’s so hard to play against too lmfao

i always struggle against wesker

the new popular killer is kaneki from tokyo ghoul

[thorn cargo]

oh he's also super annoying

[manic marlin]

that and vecna are units

[thorn cargo]

I think everyone universally hates kaneki

[manic marlin]

yeahhh😭😭

[manic marlin]

ppl who don’t gotta be kaneki mains because oh my god he’s tedious to play against

jason is super balanced though from what i’ve heard, people giving him A tier

[thorn cargo]

I don't mind him because I think he's cool but I really hate dashes in this game

actually plague is my least fav to play against. It's a toss-up

[manic marlin]

plague is a niche pick i rarely see her picked tbh but yeah i will say kaneki has an amazing model, rlly enjoy playing custom matches against kaneki

[thorn cargo]

I'll allow dash on blight tho

[thorn cargo]

oh interesting, what kind of abilities does he have?

[manic marlin]

i don’t run into blight often tbh

[manic marlin]

he can grab hooks and turn them into projectiles, pretty much like springtraps ability but better

[thorn cargo]

oh WHAT that's sick actually

[manic marlin]

and he has omnipresent mode where he’s invisible and goes around the map and jumpscares players by teleporting to pallets or windows

[manic marlin]

dude and the hook when hitting someone can pin them to the wall

and if it’s their final hook stage you can mori it’s insane

the projectile is a little clunky because of trying to figure out where to aim it but when you hit it, it’s so powerful

it’ll send survivors flying back lmfao

[thorn cargo]

Okay I actually love that

Stealth killers are so fun

[manic marlin]

i agree, ghostface is another rlly cool killer

[thorn cargo]

This has to result in really funny ragdolls hahhaa

[manic marlin]

there’s a bug right now where if you do the wall mori the survivor will go back to the pinned animation and tweak out the rest of the round😭😭😭

[thorn cargo]

Hahahah I love that

[manic marlin]

wait have you seen that there’s two vecnas now

the stranger things and dnd one

[thorn cargo]

Yess I have! The First

I thought maybe because they added d&d vecna that they wouldn't do stranger things Vecna so it was a surprise

[manic marlin]

i agree tbh i didn’t expect vecna to be added, but im really glad they did add him

[balmy scaffold]

May i ask, what is ur relation to Expansive worlds, are you a developer of som kind, or do u specifically manage the discord, or are you like a mod except higher, who does this purely for fun and not actualy part of staff, but just built a good reputation that you took on higher tasks, like releasing new info about game etc.

I apologize if this is a bit of a personal question, but i was just curiuos

[thorn cargo]

I'm a community manager on COTW! It's a bit of a controversial topic on if community managers are considered developers, but I would consider myself a developer as my work contributes to the development of the game. My role is basically to make sure our community has a voice in how we develop COTW.

But my role is also to make sure the community is happy and safe, so I also run our community channels and give y'all info when I am able :)

[balmy scaffold]

O ok ye that makes sense, so you like the link between us and the "main developers", and pass our thoughts forward.

[cold inlet]

You two play dbd also!?☕

[past bison]

My best friend’s 14yo dog is in kidney failure and won’t make it over the weekend, I have no clue what to do or say

I feel so bad I’ve known him since the dog was 4yo and I always hoped I’d have time to meet the little cutie

[obsidian bay]

omg thats so devastating :C

[cold inlet]

Sorry to hear. I have two of my own....😞

[past bison]

I lost my heart dog at under two years old in 2022 and it’s always so rough to lose a pet

[cold inlet]

Sorry...such a young age to lose a pet😭

I actually dread the day one of mine go because their so close with each other. 💔 but I cherish them whole heartedly whilst I can

I hope you find peace in someway. @past bison

why is rooster not in the content creator section

[unkempt kettle]

He's a great content creator

[pale shale]

[hoary wharf]

Lwk never played planet zoo but have seen vids this is peak trailer

[pale shale]

just my opinion

[hoary wharf]

The baby elephants🥹

[past hedge]

Who's you favorite content creator

for cotw

[pale shale]

none of them

i dont watch any

i use Rons map guides occasionally

but i dont watch anyone for cotw

i dont watch gaming content at all really

[past hedge]

I see

[pale shale]

the most gaming content i watch is for sim racing

because i suck at it and want to be better

thats not happening though

still slow

i call myself the Flying Snail

[past hedge]

Quite the name

[lyric furnace]

Get faster ig

[pale shale]

i am trying

weight transfer is incredibly confusing

[pale shale]

just wanted to come back and mean i suck at track racing

stick me on a rally sim and i'll smash the course

unless EA has added another unbreakable bush

still can't believe my race was cut short by that bush

ignore my heavy breathing i was very out of breath but i managed to break the world record for amount of rolls in a rally crash

stuck the landing

[sly furnace]

Sick af aquatic life and birds official maybe not the way fans wanted for birds off the trailer but a step in the right direction the animals look even better too damn

[warm sequoia]

how did people want the birds?

like different species or enclosures

[sly furnace]

The bird cages but I am sure for smallwr birds they won't hate the walk through exhibits

[covert arch]

Is it me or does the maps feel a lil lonley with out charcter dialog i wish there was more like slice of life ish stuff even after u beat all missions on a map

[rare veldt]

Are you ok?

[pale shale]

if referring to the crash - im fine lmao its a simulator

if referring to the heavy breathing - the simulator wheel is incredibly strong and fighting it in rally games can take it out of you

i think that crash happened after 6 hours of racing

i'm also dumb and tend to hold my breath alot during stressful situations

[rare veldt]

Ja sounds like it lmao💀

Honestly that game looks crazy

[craggy plaza]

Whats the one girl from discpicable me?

[rare veldt]

Huh😭

Negative ball knowledge bruh😭

[pale shale]

its super realistic, when i played in VR it felt like i was actually in the cockpit

[rare veldt]

Yoo sweet

[pale shale]

yeahh but i sold the VR though, because theres no actual motion or feeling of acceleration it makes you incredibly nauseous

[rare veldt]

Ooof 😭

That actually sucks 💀

[pale shale]

hopefully when i can afford a motion rig i'll get the VR back

[past bison]

Me when I sit in a car instead of driving it:

[pale shale]

you should get a Maggie Simpson wheel to trick your brain

[past bison]

But I found a vehicle motion cues setting on my phone and now it has these moving circles that make me feel less icky

[past bison]

Lmao fr

I love driving but when we go stockholm I’d rather my bf drive because he’s all comfy driving in big city

I go panic

[pale shale]

city driving sucks

[past bison]

It does

I love dirt roads

[pale shale]

im not even licensed and i just know i'm never driving in a city when i get my license

[past bison]

Omg my bf is making food it’s so nice to just chill after work

[past bison]

You’re so valid for that

[pale shale]

the way the car feels when it digs into the dirt when you go flat out is unmatched

[past bison]

It is

[pale shale]

it makes me wanna go to rally school icl

[pale shale]

man all i have is like 45 different kinds of air fryer chicken

its sad

i like chicken but why do i have so much

[past bison]

Air fryer chicken slaps tho

[past bison]

Lmaooo

He’s making roast beef and potato gratin

[pale shale]

mmmmm roast beef

with lots of gravy using the rendered fat i hope

[past bison]

it’s like sliced roast beef and he’s cooking it like a steak

[pale shale]

ohhh

i love doing a big roast beef joint

[past bison]

No clue tbh, probably bc he knows I love that stuff lmao

[pale shale]

and slathering it in gravy

[past bison]

Ouff

[pale shale]

i still want to try making a venison wellington

[past bison]

I love any gravy or sauce I’d eat that alone with a spoon all day

[pale shale]

kfc gravy pre-2018

[past bison]

Cannot relate my first time trying kfc was 2023

And I’ve never had gravy there

They don’t have it here in sweden

Crying

But also I wanna try beef wellington, never had it

[pale shale]

it is AMAZING

[pale shale]

thats actually kind of a good thing

[past bison]

I believeee it looks so good

[pale shale]

KFC used to make their gravy on site

but now they get it in frozen

[past bison]

Wtf I can hear him open a can

What in the world is he doing

[pale shale]

hopefully its just canned veggies

[past bison]

Like a can of food not drink

[pale shale]

like sweetcorn

[past bison]

We have none lmao

[past bison]

Omg I want

[pale shale]

oh god. i pray for you

[pale shale]

taking it straight out the can and eating it raw like a madman is my favourite thing to do

[past bison]

You’re so right with that

Omg he is making gravy I hear it

But what was the can

I might have to get up and investigate

[pale shale]

what if it was a can of jam on the side

[past bison]

Ah it was probably a pepsi can

[pale shale]

pepsi used to be better than coke

[past bison]

Omg so good

[pale shale]

but then pepsi decided to cave to UK sugar laws

and now pepsi has half the amount of sugar in the Uk

one time my parents brought up a pepsi bottle they got from a takeaway in england

and it was a foreign bottle

greek or something

and i was like

"im not drinking that they took all the sugar out"

and to my surprise

IT TASTED LIKE PEPSI

our government just wants us to be miserable with all these artificial sweeteners

[pale shale]

holy yum

[manic inlet]

which are notoriously more carcinogenic btw

that and the whole sugar tax grew out of a nuveau rich and upper middle class distaste for the poor daring to eat cheap food, so they demanded they make everything less cheap and more expensive and masked it as a health crusade

[pale shale]

mine is grubbin

i have 64 grubbins on poketwo

i cant show them here though

their nicknames are deplorable

[mossy root]

All jaguar and leopard rares!
Some things to note:

• Pale is just an old pelt. Not erythristic or leucistic. Just a faded pelt I thought looked cool.
• Fever coat is not leucism. It is just a temporary white coat that happens in newborns born from a sickly female.
• There has been another instance of a vitiligo melanistic leopard but the photos of that specimen are low quality and coudn't be used here

If you need news articles or the photos by themselves pls lmk!

[past bison]

@obsidian bay how’s the floofer? I woke up at 5 to Nami coughing

[dusty socket]

y'all know what I hate?... knife snobs

people who try to sell you on $300 specialty metal knives that don't do anything more than a cheap $20 blade does

[lyric furnace]

I mean higher quality steal tends to hold a better edge

I like my 20cv steel knife

[dusty socket]

sure, but not THAT much better... and I wouldn't spend $300 on a knife because I just wouldn't use it.. cheap can get damaged and i don't care

[lyric furnace]

I mean you don't have to spend $300, I spent like $100 on mine and I love it

[knotty olive]

That guy is little me

[dusty socket]

one of my pocket knives was like $30 and has D2 steel, holds an edge quite well

[lyric furnace]

D2 is solid steel

[dusty socket]

well enough it did split my thumb in half down the middle

[obsidian bay]

NO FIREHOSING

I mean i fed him 1/3 ration yesterday and im doing half today

[lyric furnace]

you mainly want to watch out for like 420 stainless and stuff like that

[obsidian bay]

So not much in there to make the mess but yk

[past bison]

Omg hell yeaa

[past bison]

[lyric furnace]

better than a benchmade I bought lol

which came dull from the factory

[past bison]

If Nami keeps coughing I need to get her tested for the virus

[lyric furnace]

a bit disapointing for benchmade tbh

[dusty socket]

now my pocket knife has removable razor blades since I mostly use it for boxes and cutting sheathing off of wiring

[lyric furnace]

I use a ZT knife

I also like kershaw for less expensive stuff

[obsidian bay]

Poor baby. I hope it's just pollen bothering her

[past bison]

Yepp but tbh low chance, we have a pollen net in the bedroom window and an air cleaner running 24/7 there

[obsidian bay]

Nuuuuu

I mean good on you for having those

I'm dying of pollen can I be reincarnated as a cat with owners so diligent 🫠

[west bronze]

Hey guys I missed yall

I’m off to sleep to get ready for my 3rd day of my new job 😀

[past bison]

Lmaooo you’d be welcome here as a cat xD

[past bison]

Tbh it would be a lowkey relief to finally know for sure if she has it

Because that would explain the two miscarriages

[obsidian bay]

Right

[past bison]

And we’re not planning to get another cat anyway so she would not pass it on to any other cats. Also we live a very low stress lifestyle; rarely visitors, she’s not home alone a lot, no loud and crazy kids to bother her and overall very chill home. The virus activates from stress so she shouldn’t get it that much as long as she’s not pregnant

She hasn’t had any symptoms when she hasn’t been pregnant so she should be all fine. Also I’ll get her a stroller so we can go out and stay away from outdoor cats to not infect them either

[worn edge]

I wanna talk to them do you think I can get in contact with them?

[short jungle]

Y'all I'm having the time of my life rn. Eating coleslaw, listening to a YouTube video and watching a nasty thunderstorm rn

TORTLE

[knotty olive]

Some hapless fisherman left him to die on the bank

Saved bros life

[manic inlet]

ugh

not shocked

if i were to guess prolly a bass fisherman

bastards angle in gar and tape their mouths shut then throw em back to die

[knotty olive]

Bass fisherman can be terrible

Wanna hear smt

I caught this bass off a boat ramp all right

These guys came over and started fishing right where I was

[manic inlet]

yup, sounds right

[manic inlet]

theyre pretty much thugs

[knotty olive]

I’m an ultralight fisherman

What does that say about me

[manic inlet]

you like trout

and arent a cringe bass-obsessed chud

[knotty olive]

Trout hate me

[knotty olive]

I love catching bass tho

Fun to catch on light tackle

[manic inlet]

love is not obsessed

you also arent a gatekeeping ass

[knotty olive]

Ah

[manic inlet]

just means youre a regular bank angler and not some insane weirdo who commits acts of ecoterrorism to force bigger fish accruement in a target species

[knotty olive]

Ultralight big bass

@obsidian bay bad news for my wallet: I have discovered the perfect stroller for Nami

It’s a brand called fikago, I wanna get this one and the stroller frame for it

Both sides of the cover are foldable so Nami would get privacy when needed and safe spot to enjoy the outdoors

[obsidian bay]

oooooh

I love that

[past bison]

Samee

Also it’d be around 200€ for the whole thing

Not tavo pets level which is 675€

So that’s very nice

I feel like she’d love to join us for a walk and I wouldn’t have to worry about ticks

It is for some reason a diabolical tick year and I will not have the creature who chills in our bed go explore the bushes

[obsidian bay]

UGH it is SO bad fo ticks this year

I hate them

[loud panther]

My sister's dog somehow found ticks in ankle length grass, none were attachrd to him, but he transferred one to me

[manic inlet]

lord

[past bison]

Frrr

And I don’t yearn for the tbe

[craggy plaza]

@obsidian bay idk what these are but they are beautiful

The pattern is so intricate

@manic inlet my absolutely giant strawberry plant, my sweet mint, my strawberry shortcake raspberries, and snowball bush

My strawberry plant is 3 years old

[manic inlet]

aw hell yeah

[craggy plaza]

That red one will be ripe tmmrw

They are sooo sweet

[white quail]

Whats your opinion on fly fishing?

[manic inlet]

its neat

[nocturne abyss]

[white quail]

As a fly fisherman myself: Try it.

[west bronze]

I’m happy it’s at least pretty out

[lyric furnace]

I second this

[dusty socket]

I never tried fly fishing here either.. but, I don't really live in an ideal place for it either

[craggy plaza]

Just sending these in rq to forward them to a less boosted disc

Just more antlion stuff

[knotty olive]

That’s a chicken

[long ember]

Wow

[manic inlet]

@jovial flare you said Rio Grande National Forest right?

[rare veldt]

How the hell that even happen??????

[jovial flare]

I did

[long ember]

Well it started off with a creeper exploding by me then a drown with a trident almost killed me

And I was trying to fill in the hole

And I didnt see or hear the creeper until it was too late

[manic inlet]

going this summer I assume?

[long ember]

The zombie hit me as I moving back and the creeper blew up which sent me into the air

So

[manic inlet]

and any idea on the specific campground

[jovial flare]

I will be

[jovial flare]

Nah just gonna go back packing in the mountains

[long ember]

Potter malaria core?

[jovial flare]

And set up on snowshoe mountain

[rare veldt]

Damn that is really unfortunate

[jovial flare]

Which is why I’d like to be prepared

But also pack light

[long ember]

It was funny I dont mind

[jovial flare]

I’ll be with a girl which is slightly concerning

But she’s down for it

Which is why having a firearm sounds better than not

[manic inlet]

ah so just up in the timber

[jovial flare]

Yes sir

[manic inlet]

cool, doubly true on hanging up the food and trash then

[jovial flare]

I plan on being safe and leaving no trace and being minimal on how much food I bring

[rare veldt]

Lmao at least there’s that

[jovial flare]

But I plan to fish all of the rio grand river there

And then blue mesa

I’d like to drive up to Rocky Mountain national park

But that will be up to my friend

Because idk what she wants to see lmao

I wanna go to valle caldera though badly

In New Mexico

It’s just a long road trip

My step moms worried sick about it and doesn’t see me as an adult which is annoying but what can you do

[manic inlet]

ah so youre gonna be in the neighborhood of durango

[jovial flare]

I’ll pass through there

If we go through Durango I might ask her to stop along the Durame river I belive is what the river is that runs through there

It’s got nice trout in it

I had a buddy that was up there maybe about a week ago but his ass never fishes

And I always try to convince him

If it comes to it I might cook up some trout lmao

[manic inlet]

nice; if you do ofc put the gut pile far away and downwind as well as gutting them outside of camp

[jovial flare]

Oh I’d clean it at the river don’t worry

It takes me 2 seconds to clean a trout

[manic inlet]

nice

[manic inlet]

you going up in June, July, or August?

[jovial flare]

I’ll be up there in July

I know it gets a little hot but the nights are nice

I’d take any tips or advice you have

[manic inlet]

should be mostly alright weather up there, not super duper familiar with it in terms of camping tho

most of my knowledge about it is hunting

fairly popular deer and elk unit

[jovial flare]

I’d hope to see some elk

My friend Nicole’s never seen one

[manic inlet]

herd thats in that area is about 4,000 animals

[jovial flare]

And I think she’d be struck in awe if she saw one

[manic inlet]

should see em in clearings, especially cows with this year's calves

[jovial flare]

Good population

[manic inlet]

nothing compared to the White River Herd

its 10 times larger

[jovial flare]

Oh I know

[manic inlet]

complex of about 43,000 animals over 4 or 5 GMUs

[manic inlet]

very solid

[jovial flare]

My main concerns though is just making sure the person I’m going with is comfortable and I don’t have to f-en worry about anything when I’m out there

[manic inlet]

also there's quite a bit of canyonland and high country up there

might see bighorn sheep in their summer coats

theyre skittish though, and usually stay up in the rocks

[manic inlet]

fully valid, she never been camping before?

[jovial flare]

Not like this

[manic inlet]

ah, valid concern to have then yeah

[jovial flare]

Which is why I wanna make it easy for her

And so she doesn’t have to worry

[manic inlet]

all of this is good stuff to have

if i may provide a recommendation

[jovial flare]

Toilet paper lmao

[manic inlet]

bring tweezers in case either of yall have to remove ticks

or a splinter

i assume its in your first aid kit but never hurts to remind

[jovial flare]

Good point

I never thought about that

[manic inlet]

also does she experience with intensive high country hiking? if not, blister bandanger and moleskin might be pretty needed for her

and for your first aid kit i cannot recommend bacitracin zinc ointment enough for small wounds

[jovial flare]

Nope, but I have a good pair of hiking boots for her in case. I’m used to the hiking and the terrain along with altitude it’ll just be interesting to see how it affects her.

[manic inlet]

she used to higher altitudes at all, namely anything above 4,000 feet?

[jovial flare]

Noted

[jovial flare]

Nope lmao

We are in Texas

I’m used to 10,000 because of Estes

[manic inlet]

whats your current first aid kit look like btw?

how much you put into it depends on how many worst case scenarios you wanna prepare/overprepare for

[jovial flare]

Gauze, bandages, rubbing alcohol, splint, majority of normal stuff

[manic inlet]

tourniquettes as well I assume

throw in regular mundane stuff like the variety mixed size bandaids too

[jovial flare]

Noted

[jovial flare]

I added the cream you mentioned to the list

And some other medical stuff

I doubt anything will happen regarding to it

But I’d rather have it

Than not

I always wear jeans and generally protective clothing

[manic inlet]

very true

[lyric furnace]

That seems solid enough

[jovial flare]

So it’s rare I get cuts

[lyric furnace]

No backpacking right?

[manic inlet]

i mean, if you really wanna go full board with prepare for every worst case scenario possible

Naso-Pharyngeal Airways and Chest Seals too

[jovial flare]

Yes backpacking

Somewhat

[lyric furnace]

Hmmm….

Do you have lighter gear?

[manic inlet]

NPAs are for intubation in the event of extreme swelling basically and chest seals for puncture wounds

[jovial flare]

I’m not making a girl walk like 8 miles

[jovial flare]

I do

I’m not brining that much

[lyric furnace]

Like sleeping pads

[jovial flare]

Its just enough to support 2 people and still be able to be carried lightly

[lyric furnace]

Light tents

Propane stove

[jovial flare]

Oh hell yes I have sleeping pads

[lyric furnace]

Freeze dried food

[jovial flare]

I know better

[lyric furnace]

Water bladder

[jovial flare]

Yes I have that

[jovial flare]

Yes I have that

[lyric furnace]

Sleeping bad, light tent

[jovial flare]

I’m bringing canned lmao and some other stuff but sadly nothing freeze dried

[lyric furnace]

Well

You have a sleeping bag

Lol

[jovial flare]

I know I have a sleeping bag

[lyric furnace]

Should be fine enough

You seem decently set

[jovial flare]

I might give her my sleeping bag and sleep with a blanket

[lyric furnace]

Does you backpack fit you well

Is it comfortable

[jovial flare]

She should have a sleeping bag though

[jovial flare]

It infact is

[lyric furnace]

Good

[jovial flare]

And it’s light

[lyric furnace]

Nice

[jovial flare]

I know to sleep comfortably😭

It’s one of the biggest things i struggle to do

Anytime I go out by myself I usually have a hammock

[lyric furnace]

where are you hiking by chance?

[jovial flare]

Rio grand national park

[lyric furnace]

Nice

[jovial flare]

I’m not gonna gatekeep lmao

[lyric furnace]

Is that in like new mexico?

[jovial flare]

Nah lower end of Colorado

[lyric furnace]

Oh yeah

[jovial flare]

In New Mexico I wanna go to valle caldera

[lyric furnace]

I think I have been in that area

[jovial flare]

We’ll be by Durango

[jovial flare]

You catch anything yet on your fly rod

[lyric furnace]

I didn’t have a fly rod with me then

But we did camp there

[jovial flare]

I thought you were up at the research center

And doing that

Or am I crazy

😂

[lyric furnace]

This was a different time

I went their earlier

Like a few years ago

[manic inlet]

oh, medical tape, a marker (triage marking), nitrile gloves, and trauma shears or similar scissors if you dont have them and make sure to have both hemostatic and packing gauze

[jovial flare]

Noted

[manic inlet]

people tend to have one and forget the other

hemo's to stop bleeding pak is to pack wounds

[west bronze]

I just had one of the most traumatic dreams I’ve ever had

[manic inlet]

if you wanna be turbo prepared vented cheast seal/vented mini chest seal bandages and NPA (naso-pharyngeal airways) along with a lubricant can be including in the pack

[lyric furnace]

It was part of a trip related to the summer camp I went to

[manic inlet]

NPAs are for anybody unconscious cause when we faint our lungs tend to have a bad habit of not breathing properly

[oblique jewel]

Another person fell asleep in a tree stand in the vc

🤣

[jovial flare]

Might need some lube😂

[lyric furnace]

Nah but I did hike a mountain

[jovial flare]

(This is a joke I don’t plan on getting freaky in the tree line)

[jovial flare]

Poor bastard

[manic inlet]

potter 😂

[jovial flare]

Whaaaaat

I’m wholesome

[manic inlet]

jokes aside putting in an NPA in an unconscious person requires it to not gouge the throat

[jovial flare]

Okay

[manic inlet]

this is because you have to prevent soft tissues from blocking the airway

[jovial flare]

God that is pretty

[manic inlet]

so it needs to go past the tongue and along the epiglottis and pharyns (back of throat) into the trachea

[jovial flare]

Like I will be there soon

[jovial flare]

Noted

I pray I don’t have to do that😭

[manic inlet]

chest seals are obviously for sucking chest wounds, which is mainly GSW territory but any puncture to the lungs is included in that

these are really 1 in a million worst case things but

have and not need than need and not have

[manic inlet]

and ik you said you have the basic kit generally so I assume youve got tourniquettes

[lyric furnace]

There was also some nice mammatus today

[plucky mist]

you know what those are named after right

[lyric furnace]

Yeah

[jovial flare]

I do

And I know how to work one

[lyric furnace]

Grand Teton is also named after that

[manic inlet]

very good

[jovial flare]

I’m both very excited yet also nervous as hell 😂

Idk i don’t want there to be any problems lmao

I also really don’t want her to sprain her ankle or me somehow

That is my biggest fear

[manic inlet]

fair feeling, youre going up with somebody who's never done something like this before

[jovial flare]

Anything that has to deal with foot pain is not something I wanna deal with

[jovial flare]

My thing though is I know she has the commitment and the determination

So I feel confident there

[lyric furnace]

What are the trails like you are going to be walking on?

[jovial flare]

Rugged and annoying

[lyric furnace]

Any scrambles?

[jovial flare]

If anything we won’t hike that far

[jovial flare]

Yes

Some

[lyric furnace]

Ah, than yeah be careful

[jovial flare]

But I doubt I’d go up that high

[dusty socket]

i ate food

[jovial flare]

It’s mainly fallen trees though in the lower section of the mountain and then ditches etc and random holes I don’t wanna step in

Imma wear my red wing boots probably and give her my really nice hiking boots

[lyric furnace]

Damn

I

Would not want to do that

lol

[jovial flare]

I rarely would ever take them

I know better😂

But I don’t have much of a choice

Unless I tell her

Hey

Drop like 180 on hiking boots lmao

[lyric furnace]

Fair enough

[jovial flare]

I wouldn’t hike over like 3-5 miles in them

So I’m fine there

[lyric furnace]

I just got a new pair of hiking boots because the trail that i got the mountain pictures on did a number on my other hiking shoes

[jovial flare]

The pair imma probably give her unless she gets a pair is my favorite pair of Solomon’s

Which I can’t brag on enough

I spent 230 dollars I belive on them

And they’ve held up for 4 years

[lyric furnace]

Nice

[jovial flare]

Of doing rough terrible back country trails for fly fishing

And they were worth every fricken penny

[lyric furnace]

REI was having a big sale so I went ahead and got me self a decent pair of hiking boots

[jovial flare]

I got mine in there discount section lmao and got hella lucky

They were on clearance

Idk why or how

[lyric furnace]

The ones I had before were some Academy brand Magellan boots that were around since my days of being a scout

[jovial flare]

But literally like Solomon hiking boots I think are some of the best hiking boots on the market

I will brag about them for a while😭

Because they got me through 18 miles

And for that I am grateful

Plus waterproof

[lyric furnace]

I got myself some waterproof keens because I have some keen snow boots at Penn State and they have worked well for me

[jovial flare]

Keens are good

Idk if there still good now

But I liked my old ones

I always wear there water shoes

Because that’s what I love from them

[lyric furnace]

We’ll see ig

[jovial flare]

I’ve heard mixed reviews

[lyric furnace]

My snow boots have held up fine

[jovial flare]

Don’t listen to them though and form your own opinion

[jovial flare]

The Solomon’s were my savior when it snowed in Arkansas lmao

My Texan ass was not really prepared for that

And then I had those fancy boots and was like ykw this isn’t that bad

(I can’t stand cold feed)

[lyric furnace]

Yeah it isn’t too bad if you have the right gear imo

[west bronze]

RNs scare me

[jovial flare]

Well dude everyone’s in fricken sneakers and stuff and then there’s me who’s got on like an over amount of fancy gear lmao and I’m just like yeahhhh I’m fine😭

[lyric furnace]

lol

Sneakers in snow is not fun

lol

[jovial flare]

Like I have thermals too which are just practically leggings and they kept my balls toasty

[lyric furnace]

A good winter jacket will also get you a long way as well

And gloves

Good gloves are important

[jovial flare]

Believe it or not I wear fingerless gloves for hunting and stuff

I dislike full gloves because I like to be able to feel the trigger

[lyric furnace]

I don’t wear full gloves when I take a shot

[jovial flare]

For winter jackets and stuff i got a bunch of wool stuff and then ofc my red head jacket

[lyric furnace]

I usually take my gloves off

[jovial flare]

(Remember I duck hunt)

Even with deer though lmao same thing

[lyric furnace]

Ah yes

[jovial flare]

Just less water

[lyric furnace]

I have a pair of thinner camo gloves that I like

They are thick enough to provide decent insulation

But not too thick where they restrict movement and feel much

[lyric furnace]

I have a pair of fingerless gloves I just keep on forgetting to whwre them lol

They are actually a fingerless/whole glove hybrid

[jovial flare]

See those I like

I don’t mind em

Idk why

Maybe it’s a sensory thing

But I just don’t like full on gloves 😭

[lyric furnace]

I think mine is a columbia jacket

It has like that internal reflective lining stuff

[lyric furnace]

I need to use them more

Actually I have them with me rn lol

[lyric furnace]

I also think I might try doing a 14er this summer

Maybe

[manic inlet]

thats good

[dusty socket]

my taste in clothing have changed quite a bit the past couple years.. I'm not even sure how conventional hiking gear would fit into it

[manic inlet]

also one of them reflective blankets never hurts to have, either a pair of standard sized ones or an XL one since itll be two of yall up there

[lyric furnace]

Tho there is another nearby mountain in the area I plan on hiking before then called Chief Mountain

I think there is a fire watch tower on top

[dusty socket]

I live right next to a state park 😄

honestly.. if i could get a job doing that... I'd be so tempted

[lyric furnace]

Also did you see that they are making a new giant state park west of San Antonio

Will be the second largest state park in texas

[dusty socket]

i don't live in an area prone to forest fires though

[lyric furnace]

After big bend state ranch park

It feels good to be hiking again

Has me inspired to do some hiking when I get back to state college

Like mount nitanny

[jovial flare]

Do it

You’ll feel alive

[lyric furnace]

RIP to my headset

[jovial flare]

Whatd you do whip it at a wall in a fit of rage?

[lyric furnace]

No it just like broke randomly

[jovial flare]

I did!!

[jovial flare]

Nothing some duck tape can’t fix

[manic inlet]

oh also, draw results finished coming in

[lyric furnace]

Hmmmmmm it is also cracking on the other side

[jovial flare]

I’m listening

[manic inlet]

no pronghorn tag, so i has a point instead

but landowner vouchers are available anyways so

[jovial flare]

Dude how old is this otherwise this is some cheap plastic

[lyric furnace]

Hmmmmm I think it is time for a new one

[jovial flare]

You still have a chance

[lyric furnace]

It’s not old at all

It is also a logitech headset

So i feel like it should be decent

But 🤷‍♂️

[jovial flare]

Like I wear an steel series Arctis pro and typically they last me 3-4 years

[manic inlet]

yuh, two actually

[jovial flare]

I’ve broken 2 but because I was stupid

[manic inlet]

cause for this guided novice hunt i first have landowner vouchers

which can be exchanged to me at a CPW location for a valid license

[jovial flare]

Okay

[manic inlet]

OR

if those arent available

[lyric furnace]

Well I also did just get first paycheck as well

[manic inlet]

novice hunter licenses

[lyric furnace]

Soooo….

[manic inlet]

and if somehow those arent available for pronghorn

[lyric furnace]

Potentially new headset time

[manic inlet]

theres late doe OTC licenses and landowner vouchers for mule deer everywhere

[jovial flare]

I see you getting a pronghorn in your future

[manic inlet]

me want speed goat

[jovial flare]

I’d say it is

[jovial flare]

😂

[lyric furnace]

It’s unfortunate

[jovial flare]

And by god you will receive one

[lyric furnace]

Because I liked that headset

[jovial flare]

I will tell you I’ve been deciding what I want my first rifle build to be

For atleast my OWN

and not my dads

[lyric furnace]

I’m excited

Definitely will have to go there once it is open

[lyric furnace]

I definitely want the rewarding feeling of climbing one

Heck it was rewarding climbing the one I did last weekend

[jovial flare]

It’s just the sense of accomplishment that always feels great to me

[lyric furnace]

Was a tough hike for getting back into the mojo of things

[jovial flare]

Idk people either get that serotonin

Or they don’t

@manic inlet like I want

[lyric furnace]

Was steep and rocky with some scrambles, but the view was amazing

[manic inlet]

oooo

[jovial flare]

That’s a jtac industries elf owl chassi

They also have a slightly larger one called the screech owl for Remington 700

But same concept

And super light

And only 500 bucks

Which for a chassi

Is relatively a steal

And budget friendly

[manic inlet]

hell yeah

[jovial flare]

Idk why

But like

That rifle in 338 arc oddly interests me

[lyric furnace]

Yeah I should definitely do this hike

[frank oasis]

@lyric furnace

A cool storm cell overhead for ya

[lyric furnace]

Nice shelf

That is very interesting storm structure

[lyric furnace]

Nice

We had our own thunderstorms yesterday here

Were decently strong

[amber wigeon]

It was a big squall line some of them even turned into supercells once they were above germany

And some insane positive discharges very close

Eventually the rain had passed for 15-20 mins already but there was still lightning so i went to take a look and there was a cell just throwing positive bolds every 40 seconds

The rain was nothing new just the crazy downburst of summer storms but the lightning was phenomenal

At some point there was a strike and crawler lightning above it

[crimson belfry]

Best pokemon right here

[sick briar]

Facebook marketplace is ragebaiting me

why is a piano which would cost like 900aud to buy new (650 for the piano, 140 for the pedal unit and 100 for the stand) going for 1050 on marketplace instead of like 600 at most

and then when I try and lay it out I get hit with the nuhuh

[dusty socket]

I have a Yamaha P-95, cost me $500

[obsidian bay]

Just tell them they're overcharging and stupid, and move on
not worth your energy arguing with idjits

[past bison]

Diabolicall

If selling used stuff, usually you gotta half the price of it

[sick briar]

my minimum discount is 2/3 new if it's actually "like new" quality

[sick briar]

also I'm gonna stalk that listing for like the next couple months and see if it even gets touched cos hey if they finally come to their senses I still wouldn't mind taking it

in the used market Ive got here it's one of the only actually decent budget pianos I've seen

[hoary wharf]

@past bison redownloading ark survival ascended and it's gonna take ages bc it keeps going up it says 10 hours and 5 mins 😭

And it's going up again

[past bison]

Lmao it took me so long too xD

But I found a server to play in, it’s nice

[hoary wharf]

And also idk if it will happen now but it used to crash so much when I played it 😭

Like I had like 4 rexes outside my base then it crashed and when I tried to go back onto it it kept crashing

[past bison]

Ooooof

[past bison]

Bruhh

The worst

I need to build a base in Valguero

I’ve been playing it a bunch and it’s still just a 2x2 wooden box

[hoary wharf]

I just used the lake castle thing in the middle of the map

[past bison]

It’s cute fr

[hoary wharf]

And it's a pretty good base spot

[craggy plaza]

Bruh😭

Idk what breed🤣

[craggy plaza]

You disgust me

Fill in your creeper holes

Prob why u got a 3 combo😭

[long ember]

I was trying to flatten out the area anyway and I wasn't rlly paying attention

And yes I finished it

Gosh.

[craggy plaza]

Then do this

But please fill in creeper holes😭

[long ember]

No now im not gonna

Eat my fart

[craggy plaza]

HUH😭✌️

[long ember]
