    Hey Blots, first I'd like to say you're a (insert a slew of insults a conservative would hurl at a liberal). Secondly, I'd like you to agree with everything I say and vote for my preferred candidates.

    The good news thread

    During the years I spent working with college athletes I particularly enjoyed helping injured athletes get back in the game. This led me to decide to pursue a career in physical therapy and im fortunate to have landed a volunteer position with a sports physical therapy facility. Just the beginning but hopefully it leads to more opportunities down the road.

    NYC now officially recognizes 31 genders. You're so cis, Turry Lol
  8. You guys are twats lol This guy Watter has been doing the same bit for quite some time. He goes to a local area and asks for the most part light hearted political questions to the locals and throws in cheesy jokes mashed up with stupid pop culture clips. Getting upset about this shows how thin-skinned you guys are

    Sueños y Aventuras en Colombia

    When I spent a semester in Chile a guy that was on the trip with me met a girl and she eventually moved back to the states with him. They've now been married for 7 years and have 3 kids. This is your future, Serge

    Socal Walked From Mexico to Canada

    No plans at the moment but I would definitely like to go on another adventure in the future. Probably not a long hike, though. Id really love to convert a cargo van into a camper and take a year off to travel the country and take photographs but money would be an issue.
  11. What a terrible experience that was From May 5th through September 18th I walked from the Mexican border to the Canadian border via the Pacific Crest Trail. I took lots of pictures along the way which can be seen below https://www.instagram.com/taylorsmatthews/

    True section hiking is just doing one section (up to 500 miles) then just ending your trip. What you described is what most thru hikers end up doing, the difference being that most hikers that claim to have finished the whole trail actually hitched large sections of the trail

    I'd do it differently. I'd do what's called section hiking and hike the best parts of the trail instead of forcing myself to walk all of it. The thru hiking aspect of it I learned is all just rooted in personal ego. People think they're brave or special for walking hundreds of miles through ugly desert with little water in 100+ degree weather. That's bullshit IMO, you're not special, you're irresponsible. Sure it's challenging but it doesn't take any special skill or intelligence, just stubbornness.

    Socal Walked From Mexico to Canada

    The worst moment may have been on day 3 for me. I had actually injured my left knee on the first day, but I decided to push through it the next two days and try to tough it out. I ended up injuring my right knee on day 2 and then spraining my right ankle on day 3. I could hardly walk and my knees kept locking up on me the whole day. I eventually got close to town at mile 42 in the early afternoon and about a mile out my knees finally gave out and I collapsed to the ground. Right on cue it started to hail on me, May 8th in the Southern California desert lol. I sat there for about 10 minutes then limped into town. I took the next day to see if my condition would approve but I couldn't walk so I actually went home for 10 days. The hiking greatly improved my cardiovascular and muscular endurance. However, it also destroyed my feet, my joints, burned my muscle away and generally made me feel like shit. While obviously it's doable, hiking 25-30 miles a day, day after day is a really unhealthy practice.

    There is a town or place to stop every 2-6 days while on trail. I personally just purchased food while I was in town for me next section but others prepackaged food and supplies beforehand and had a relative or friend send them. There were a decent amount of people on trail that have also completed the Appalachian Trail. The two trails are very different so they are hard to compare but the experience I can imagine would be quite similar.

    Thanks, guys. It was a fun journey, although tiring and painful much of the time. I lost track of all the injuries that I had

    Sueños y Aventuras en Colombia

    Fairly typical in Central and South America. When I was in Chile they have a tradition called once (11 in Spanish) where they drink tea and eat pastries/sweets a little before having a small dinner. Large dinners are typically reserved for special guests and occasions.
