Lol, this is so true. But the downside is the absolute brick you'll have to squeeze out when you get home.

I've done a lot of long distance hiking and every ounce counts. I'll give you a few ideas that I used.
Instant Oatmeal - no brainer. But I used to bring some Strawberry Quik Mix with me to give it a strawberry flavor.
Instant Mashed Potatoes
Summer Sausage - I usually cut this up into pieces and put it in my meals
Zatarains or other rice product - It's ok if you are cooking it over a fire, but if you are using a stove you might burn through your gas pretty quickly. It all depends on how long you are out there for. I would also add some Instant Mashed Potatoes in with it to give it more carbs. You burn a lot of energy hiking.
Ramen is always a good (and light) meal to bring. As I said, you can always put some instant mashed potatoes in there to give it more carbs.
I would bring some protein powder with me too. Protein is a commodity when hiking. Same with a powdered peanut butter.
MRE's aren't a bad idea either.
Hope this helps

That is very interesting. It must be the round shape that makes it seem like it has a much bigger field of view.

re: Any good end of civilization/prepper type novels besides One Second After series?

A couple of things.
Answers do come. There isn't much in the lead up to what happened, but in later books it is explained.
It's an unusual series in that I think it keeps getting better and better with each book.
He co-wrote a spin-off called "Charlie's Requiem". It starts off in Orlando at the same time. So it shows how things went down in a larger city instead of being stranded in the sticks.
It's a ride that keeps getting better. Enjoy!

Try "The Survivalist" series by A. American. The first book is Going Home. In my opinion, this is the best series of that genre.

Open borders
Not necessarily a response to you, but a clarification on the issue.
As I stated earlier, open borders is a moronic idea. At least right now. It is a concept that people use to attack the Libertarian party and it's ideas. Is it sustainable right now, absolutely not. But most people don't understand the concept and I will do my best to explain it as short and concise as I can.
Think of our country and how we can easily travel through each state. It works great because we all have, relatively, the same ideas and concepts on how we should be governed. Open borders will work when the whole world is on the same page with the same socio-economic opportunities. Now I'm not talking about globalism as it is presented on today's stage. But in a "perfect world" (I know, it doesn't exist right now, that's why it's an Idea) open borders work and people can choose to live wherever they want.
Does it work now? Of course it doesn't. Will it ever work? Probably not. But one day I hope the whole world jumps on the same train and makes it a reality.
But like I said, it's an Idea. And much like Communism, it will never work because of, for the lack of a better way to say it, human greed and the need for power. Until we can throw off those shackles, open borders is a moronic idea that will not work and a strong border is a necessity to maintain our society.

Absolutely correct.

The problem with libertarians is they are essentially Democrats hiding behind another label because deep down they know admitting you support Leftist policies is an embarrassment.
I respectfully disagree. I consider myself a Libertarian, but I have never and probably will never vote for a Democrat (especially this Democrat party). The problem with the Libertarian party is that they have been infiltrated by a huge swath of Socialist (aka Communist) scum that like to call themselves Libertarians so they can appear edgy to their comrades.
I don't agree with all Libertarian ideas (open borders is moronic) but I'm all for freedom. People should be allowed to do whatever they like, just as long as it doesn't impinge on the rights and freedoms of others.
But to respond to the OP's suggestion. I agree, but I think most real Libertarians are already getting over their "principled" positions and voting for conservatives. It's the communist scum that have infiltrated the party that is giving good Libertarians a bad name.

If you are still in Woodlands, try these places...
Finish First Injury Prevention Specialist
Regen Electro
To be honest I know nothing of these places, but they use the same technology that I use. And the tech I use would help a ton. If you are in Tampa, I would gladly treat you.
Now this is important, ask for Neufit treatment. It is a form of Direct Current Electrical Stimulation. It's a game changer, especially for your symptoms.
I hope this helps.

re: Going to a PT for neck/trap issues. What to expect
Posted by PrezCock on 9/11/26 at 3:11 pm to boxcarbarney
This isn't an attack on what mtcheral said, but scraping (Graston technique as an example) actually does a lot for people in multiple ways and does have some lasting effect. Most people believe that it is good at breaking up myofascial adhesions, which there is some efficacy in that, but it is fantastic and does have long lasting effects for your body's proprioception.
To add on to what the other PT stated. If I were you I would also find a PT who can do Sub-occipital Inhibition. It's a very easy manual therapy technique that any decent PT should now. It will help with those tension type headaches you get with those tight upper trap/paraspinal muscles that attach to your occiput (posterior base of your skull).
Good luck, and I hope this helps.
ETA: Occipital to Sub-occipital

Damn Yeti, you described that perfectly. I have allergies, but very manageable. I take zyrtec every day, not really for my allergies, but to stop the sneezing. It's ridiculous that one errant sneeze can wreck my week/month.
Jason, you can do this. It just takes persistence.

Sleeping on your back might seem like the right move, but one of the actions of those QLs (bilaterally) is extension. So sleeping on your back allows that QL to tighten up overnight. Try to find a position where that QL is on a little stretch, like the position I described on how I sleep to keep it from tightening up.
Hope this helps

The QL tightness is the worst part of it
I hear you brother. When mine spasms I will do I some standing QL stretches in the shower, child's pose with a lean in the opposite direction, and I'll sleep (try to sleep at least) in a position where that QL is on stretch. Sidelying on the side of the tight QL, bring up opposite knee to 90 degrees, and try to push your foot (tight QL side) as far from you as possible.

Did you get an MRI to confirm that it was only a lumbar strain and not a disc injury?
There's a lot going on with my back. Multiple herniations, multiple bulges, and the lumbar strain. The herniations and bulges aren't too hard to keep in control. The strain is the worst part. The mind remembers your injuries. So the moment it senses that instability, it goes right back to guarding like the injury just happened. That's why you need to gradually progress with extension exercises. You need to retrain your brain/body to get stronger, but also to get the confidence back that it won't go back to guarding.
I also like doing a lot of suitcase carries. Your QLs are going to be some of the primary muscles that your body uses to guard. Pain from QL tightness sucks. Most unilateral back pain (90%+) is going to be QL tightness.

Lumbar Strains are a pain to deal with. I also have a back injury and suffer from the same thing. It can be anything that throws it out. Last week I was mopping my kitchen floor and it decided to go out on me. My back injury is one of the main reasons why I got into physical therapy.
Here's something I posted a couple of weeks ago. Someone posted about reverse hypers and back injuries and I added this;
There's going to be a million people telling you a million things. What I have found that works best is a gradual increase in back extension work. Something like I laid out in that quoted paragraph. You are going to want to start slow and work up slowly. It's a process.

quote:
Someone suggested Reverse Hypers and got a couple of downvotes. I just want to expand on that topic a little bit.
Reverse Hypers are a fantastic exercise to rehab a lumbar strain. It isn't a good exercise to start out with. Lumbar strains are an absolute pain. I would suggest you start doing simple exercises like supermans, planks, and static holds against gravity that engage those lumbar muscles. When those become easy and don't cause you pain anymore start doing exercises like hyperextensions and unsupported rows. Again, start light and increase in intensity when that pain goes away. When that pain is gone, then start on those Reverse Hypers. RH is a fantastic exercise, but it should be used mid/late rehab and is excellent for maintaining a healthy low back.
ETA: And of course, this is on top of any other exercises/stretching that can help, i.e. stretching hamstrings, hip flexors, etc...

I agree. Powdered creatine is the way to go, creapure is best. Like I said in my original post. As why anyone would go the gummy route, it's on them. Perhaps they hate the grittiness of creatine monohydrate, or the acidic taste of creatine HCl and prefer the gummies. As long as your getting 5-10 grams a day, on average, the manner in which a person consumes it is their own preference.
