Trail

Throwaway here for reasons that should be obvious. Don’t need to be doxxed or trolled by any of you MAGA/alt-right/racists reading this. I am a POC and have been backpacking and UL for a hot minute now, and you’ll have to take my word on this. But I am expecting the possibility of someone saying this is “fake” and that maybe I am just some white trust fund college snowflake that ain't even been out on a trail before, because I have seen this claim made before in these kinds of online discussions. Which is why I sent a msg to the mods to get my back, and they agreed, which I am thankful for.

Wall-o-text warning. TL;DR: POC in the outdoor community, myself included, need to speak up about racism, so here are some of my perspectives. White people, especially white men (you take up the most space), please listen to us and be more empathetic.

I am disgusted and angry by some of the comments I read in the recent thread about The Trek. The lack of insight and/or feigned ignorance of t

So this happened a while ago in a small town in the middle of nowhere. Its a community built network of mountain bike trails that the community helps maintain and build more trails to ride on for our enjoyment. The trails started in my cousins back yard and before, he was the only one involved so the trails were very small but soon, he got many of his neighbors involved to help maintain and build more trails and it became a decent sized network of trails. Since it is his private property, he request people ask before they go on his trails and he lets most people in. One day, we were wanted to ride on a downhill trail with many cool features, things like jumps, logs to hop over, homemade skinny bridge out of wood planks, drops and much more. This particular day, there was a sign planted into the ground on the entrance of the trail saying " Reserved for Karen and her family". At first, we thought this was very entitled and rude, just barging into his property and blocking it off from t

So yesterday, I ran the upper loop at the Frick Park Nature Center. Aside from an uncontrolled two year old running sideways across the path, not once but twice where he could be smashed by a bike or crushed by a runner, which mommy thought was cute, but never intervened.

I counted at least three dogs off leash on the first lap alone. Frick Park has at least three off-leash areas. Presumably, I wonder, so that dogs could be off-leash.

One of the dogs blocked the path as if to challenge passing runners, a smaller one ran underfoot risking its own life and risking runners falling at full speed, whilst the third was rambling from the woods to suddenly appear on the trail.

My dog is never off-leash, because I don’t want her to get hurt or run away or bother other people. Some people are allergic. Some people are afraid of dogs.

What is the reason for not following this simple rule in such a public place when the Park has gone out of its way to provide off-leash areas?

Hi, this is my first time posting. I’ve been lurking r/loseit for months. This community has some amazing supporters! I’ll try to keep this short and sweet.

I’m working from home during this pandemic and I’d really like to lose 70lbs to start. I’m 30 years old weighing 250lbs at 5’5. My blood pressure has started going up and my M.D is worried. My brother told me about C25K and I would like to start walking daily before trying that challenge.

How the hell can I accomplish a weight loss journey if I can’t simply walk alone? I’m so worried people will see me breathing heavy or just see how fat I am in my workout clothing.

I always thought I was a tough person. At work I’m confident and generally I don’t care what others think. Yesterday going to the trail, getting out of my car and then turning around and going home... actually crushed my spirits.

I need to get out of my head. If anyone has any advice I’d appreciate!

Had been considering Peru and the west side of South America as a backpacking trip. Was wondering if anyone has done the Inca trail and what it was like? I would be on a bit of a time crush for the whole trip. As even in the early stages would be looking at three weeks with time in Ecuador and Peru. Aside from the four days to set for the hike. I have heard of looting, thieves etc on the route. I’m wondering peoples experience if they would suggest just going to via train or trail. Thanks.

This might be a bit basic for some of you, but after backpacking and hiking in trail runners for two years, I just learned about it (thanks to a helpful running store employee). I have two friends who trail run very frequently - one is a "serious amateur" ultrarunner - and neither of them knew it.

Tip to tighten it down:

• Once you have the lacing completed but loose, first pull on the front part of the loop to snug the laces, then grasp both tag ends and pull them toward your heel simultaneously.

• Avoid over-tightening.

it is NOT my main reason for hiking. i know people talk about trail legs, which makes me think of quads and calves, which are great. getting a massive ass is NOT my main reason for hiking. but in your experience, does hiking the pct result in a significant growth of the gluts? i have OTHER reasons for wanting to hike the pct, having a world class butt is NOT the main reason.

i’m just curious if anyone has had this experience? having a dump truck ass is not the reason i am hiking.

edit: i’m NOT hiking the pct to get a massive ass there are a lot of other reasons
