Honky Dong Country posted:Yeah poo poo like that was fun until my father, brother, and I spent a week backpacking around Savage Gulf in Tennessee. So much loving better than campsite poo poo. Sleep in a drat tent on the ground and hiking around each day with everything on your back, seeing stuff you can't drive to. That's camping. Sounds like something terrible people do. Hey guys do you like insects, lack of air conditioning/heat, an uncomfortable sleeping experience, then I have the exciting idea for you! Oh and most importantly no internet, sorry I'm not a historical reenactor.

Yeah what kind of man likes physical activity, seeing things you can't see any other way, and can possibly survive without internet for a few days. It's inhuman!

This thread prompted me to start reading Decline and fall of the Roman Empire by Edward Gibbon. It's very 18th century but drat I didn't expect it to have such a nice flow, very pleasant to read despite such a serious subject. Just read the whatever is the latest edition with editors' corrections of factual stuff in footnotes.

I absolutely never get tired of being around the same person all the time and don't need/want a break. Also I'm such a prize that bae would not only take no joy in having a break herself, but would prolly leave me for some chad!

You know what's cooler than going camping and getting away from your wife? Going camping and taking your wife with you. Like real back country camping where once you paddle in to your spot you just swim and eat and gently caress all day. It's super relaxing. Sorry you have a lovely woman you feel the need to escape from. Also sometimes car camping can be legit fun when you don't have enough vacation days to hike/paddle in and just kinda want to get away from the city and go somewhere with a natural body of water to go swimming in and trails to go hiking/biking on.

That would rock, but I've yet to meet one that'll backpack camp way my father, brother, and I do so in the past it's made for a great little bit of time for the girlfriend back then and I to do our own thing for a few days. Both options are cool but I have yet to meet a woman whose definition of roughing it didn't involve a lovely KOA site, and air matress if not a camper, and copious complaints about bugs and hot/cold temperature. But really, even if I meet a woman that'll do the backpacking thing I'll still do poo poo on my own. Time apart is good. That one guy was right about it being a derail though, sorry. I'll drop it.

Backpacking is good, why not take along a JUICICERO bag and mash the fluids out of it with a rock? You can use the bag as a container to iodize water in or something. I also think it's hilarious how the bag has a hole in it for it to "breathe". I'm assuming if it didn't have that it would fester with clostridia

Yeah the article I read said it was basically fresh enough to still be doing the whole co2 to oxygen thing. Well, prolly not the fruit. But all the juices I saw had chopped up greens in them.

the cool thing about the collapse of the western roman empire is that it was such a complex and poly-causal process that you can blame everything and everyone for it and be right. like immigrants, decadence, christianity, the climate, taxes, juicers, etc.

It's not about paying $400 for a useless juicer, it's about giving $400 to people you like so they can continue living. Someone who buys this $400 juicer isn't thinking about juice, trust me, they are thinking about the people because when you have a poo poo ton of money you start wanting people to like you, which is why rich people love philanthropy.
