Prepare for the weather properly! Your friend should take care of most of the tough parts, but one thing you can do is understand what “the mountains” means in your area.

For example, for me the mountains in Colorado get down below freezing still this time of year, so if I were camping I’d need to ensure I have a proper sleeping bag (temperature rated for the overnight temps you’ll be in up in the mountains) and pad to go under it (absolutely necessary for thermal reasons really any time you’re camping) plus clothes to wear overnight, such as thermal tops and bottoms and socks, even a hat/beanie if it’s cold enough. If you’ve never camped in cold weather, it can be intimidating, miserable, or even deadly if you’re unprepared. I absolutely love doing it (I use a hammock and not a tent, it’s a blast).

However your friend may have most of this for you, so focus on your clothes, he should probably have advice on this topic as well.

Enjoy your first time! It can be an incredible experience with the right company and planning. It’s always fun to connect with nature and disconnect from our everyday lives and technology.

Yeah, certainly if he were a normal President. But he’s a textbook narcissist who only gives a shit about himself and capitulating to the ultra elite. Throw some performance goals set up by his boss Vladimir Putin, and what do you get?

Absolute fucking chaos alongside fleecing the lower 99.99% for anything you can get and manufacturing a crash in the stock market so you and your elite friends can, you guessed it, profit from it tremendously.

A rational president, you bet. This dude is not that.

Fucking A

Yeah I’m not in it at either price point. I’ll for once be a patient gamer and wait until it’s reasonable or I’ll skip this one. I’m betting there’s lots like us.

You literally swear on the Bible before taking office

Haha and even more ironic here is that trump skipped this step this time and nobody said a word.

Well I’ve had essentially every console Nintendo has ever produced, but at least for now I’m not excited about the switch 2 for this very reason, I’m fairly put off about it.

I’m either going to buy a steamdeck or wait for the cost to go down (Nintendo is usually firm with their pricing though) on the Switch 2 before I’ll ever buy it or any games.

Especially while the US languishes under trump for the next nearly four years. I’m not going to have a lot of extra space for added expenses and price gouging.

I also love this YouTube video, which covers this extremely well - https://youtu.be/s7tWHJfhiyo

Raptor: Call of the Shadows?

I was an orphan at the time, but when I was putting myself through college I had food stamps and it helped me a ton with keeping me fed. I was fortunate to have that program available to me at that time in my life. I also worked several jobs at the same time.

I don’t think so, but I’m certainly not an expert on the subject. However, I would think at worst you could hold it until you pass out. Once you pass out, your body would no longer consciously be purposely trying not to breathe, and you would then start breathing before you regain consciousness.

Logically that’s how I think it would go, at least.

Especially if you put some tanker nuts on the back where the trailer hitch is

Nope! I was fortunate that I never had any issues with dryness.

Same with me, and I would also be happy to answer any questions you have, OP.

Many, like me, require no treatments as well.

Also, all of us have close vision issues when we hit our mid forties or so due to our weakening muscles in our eyes, it’s something you can also treat with LASIK, but most use reading glasses.

Can’t beat Father Time!

However, my biggest challenge was distance vision (near-sightedness) and that will never go away, so again life long change for many with no downside.

As always, each person is different and you should be evaluated for a fit for the procedure. Some people have complications like many surgical procedures, and many/most do not.

I had bladeless LASIK in 2013, taking my glasses prescription from 20/170 to 20/12.5.

You read that right, there’s better than 20/20 which is considered perfect. 20/10 is as low as most measurements go. I’m right between 20/10 and 20/15.

11 years later in my early 40s, my vision hasn’t changed one bit, still seeing better than “perfect”.

The procedure took less than 5 minutes per eye and I was good to go really the next day.

It’s the best money I’ve spent on anything in my life and I would do it again a thousand times if I had a thousand chances to choose again. And I have a TON of hobbies.

If you get evaluated and are a good candidate, go for it! It’s life changing to not have to mess with glasses or contacts, being free to do watersports and winter sports with no hassle.

It’s always Lupus

My Comcast has a terabyte monthly data cap. They will send you an email if you get close to it, and if memory serves they allow you one time to go over it before they charge you some.

Even with downloading many big games sometimes when I refresh my PC and using streaming video apps all the time, I’ve never hit it but have come close several times. I also work from home.

This game is pretty awesome in VR. It’s a relatively new release if memory serves, even though the exit 8 non-VR has been out for a while.

Hopefully it involves parachuting dogs

It’s funny because it’s bigger than a normal hat
