The beaten path | Rhett Abbott

spookweek masterlist

Prompt: getting lost in the woods | sent out to the old barn with Rhett one evening, the two of you aren’t alone in the woods.

Warnings: themes of horror and violence. being stalked by something. supernatural stuff. impersonation. It’s a bit of a spooky one! wc: 1.7k

”He’s such a jackass,” Rhett kicks through dirt and leaves, shaking his head and biting out his words through gritted teeth. “Too fuckin’ old to do it himself, and god forbid Perry gets off of his damn ass.”

The flashlight shines off into the darkening woods up ahead. He squints into the shadows, twisting his neck to check back the way he had come. After the storm that had been tearing through Wabang the past two days, it’s a wonder that the ranch held up as well as it had.

All that’s out is the generator. And the part for that generator is way out by the old barn, and the road is blocked by all the tree fall, so he’s the idiot who has to head out there on foot. 

Your fingers curl around his bicep, tugging him back until you can loop your arm through his and hug yourself to his side. Stuck on the ranch for two days yourself, you’re glad to get out of that house for a while — and to have him to yourself, too. 

He had warned you not to come.

You had been all bundled up in his bed already, warm and half naked between his sheets, eyelids drooping. 

But, you had insisted on coming with him. Now, frost nips at your nose and your cheeks, the Wyoming winter creeping in before the leaves have even finished falling. Rhett feels you turn your cheek toward his shoulder, slowing his pace to keep you with him. 

He shoots a glance towards the sky, catching the last glimpses of amber and orange as the sun disappears behind the Tetons. Can’t go another night without power, not when Amy’s already sick. She has a cold and the road will be clear enough for them to go to the pharmacy in the morning but no, this expedition had been urgent anyway. 

“Is it much further?” You ask him, bundled in an old Carhartt from their hallway closet and a pair of his thermal socks, already thinking of how good it’s going to feel to tear it all off and slip under his flannel sheets again tonight.

One glance backward and the truck seems so small, so far away at the end of the dirt path.

He stops to take a quick look around. He knows these woods like the back of his hand. It’s a mile and a half the long way around, but it could be longer if the path is messed up. 

You’d be there and back in fifteen minutes if you cut through the trees. 

He knows better. If it was just him, he’d take the long way around, risk the fallen trees and the hour-long walk that should have only taken twenty minutes. But, he can feel the way you’re trembling against him.

“Nah. Not much further. This way.” He mumbles, turning his head and kissing your temple softly. He unwraps you from his arm and drapes it around your shoulders, hugging you close as he steps off of the path and turns his light toward the trees.

It’s marshy and darker again, where the woods are denser and the ground is wetter, more uneven. Your boots slip in the mud every other step, and your breath comes out in clouds in front of you.

A city girl by Wabang’s standards, Rhett knows that you haven’t ever found this property to be particularly welcoming. Hell, it isn’t. 

Its harsh winters are designed to kill. The air gets cold enough to make it feel like your lungs are screaming when you suck in a deep breath. The ground freezes solid, the grass disappearing and leaving the living with nothing. It’s like even the soil goes back when the trees become bare. 

Draped against him, it’s not the autumn chill that has you shivering.

One more glance backwards and the truck isn’t visible anymore, just trees for as far as your eyes can see.

Turning forward again, the scene up ahead is darker already. Gnarled trees, twisting and looming, the sunlight has faded and the last glimpses of it have disappeared from the canopy above.

You swallow. Your shadow lurks on the chilled ground, looming taller than usual. Wet leaves stick to your boots, mud caking your soles. Each twig that snaps echoes through the silent landscape, each of your jagged breaths sounding amplified through the cold air. 

The wind wails through the trees with a low moan, mist passing through the gaps in the dark. 

There’s a comfort in knowing that Rhett knows this land. A solace in the way he perseveres through the harsh environment, seemingly unfazed. He works in the dark all the time, and he’s been lost in these woods more than once.

That’s why he knows when to stop.

Dead in his tracks, the flashlight stuck on the path up ahead, his breath caught in his throat. His fingers gripping onto your shoulder so tightly that it feels like he’s made of stone.

Your head whips towards him, eyes searching over his face. His jaw is set and his gaze is fixed, his entire body rigid.

“Rhett?” You whisper.

“Go back to the truck.” He breathes, his voice even quieter than your whisper, “Don’t turn around, I’ll meet you there.”

Your face wrinkles, turning to look into the trees, trying to see what he’s looking at. “What? — Don’t mess—“

“I said I’ll meet you at the truck.” 

An icy sensation crawls up your spine as he turns his head to look at you. His blue eyes struck with a dead kind of fear, a type of resignation.

Your heartbeat thuds in your chest, your boots slipping in the wet ground as you stumble a few steps back. It’s silent for miles. Too silent — no birds, no more wind, nothing but the sound of your breathing.

He turns his head once more and it’s like you’re alone.

If he’s fucking with you, you’d never forgive him. It’s even worse, because you know that he’d never be able to fake that look in his eye. You’ve never seen him so afraid.

Your instincts scream at you to run. All of the alarm bells in your head are ringing at once, and it’s like Rhett can tell.

“Go slow. Quiet.” He whispers.

One foot falls back, and another. You stumble back the way you had come until your back hits a tree. You take one more look at your boyfriend, staring off into the trees ahead, and swallow the rising, swelling lump in your throat.

The wet ground shleps under your trembling feet, threatening to swallow your boots with each wobbling step. Your hands drag across jagged back, feeling your way through the trees. 

Finally, you turn on your heel and head back for the path. It was right behind you. You couldn’t have strayed that far. You walk, and walk, and walk until you’re practically jogging. 

Your eyes grow glassy with burning tears, your nose stinging from the harsh cold, your palms damp with sweat. Your head whips to the left, and then to the right as your body spins in a clumsy circle. The path couldn’t have been this far away.

Maybe you had gone the wrong way. The darkness swallows any remaining light as it glimpses through the gaps in the trees — every direction looks the same. Gnarled, twisting shadowed figures for as long as you can see.

Your mouth falls open, your voice catching in your throat, his name falling silent on your tongue. Something tells you that you don’t want to go making a whole lot of noise right now.

Even so, a sob threatens to wrack its way through your throat. You clamp a hand over your own mouth, shuddering back a sniffle as you force yourself forwards. 

Walking, and walking and walking. Darkness around you pulsing like something living, deafening silence filling the air — like there’s nothing really living around here at all. The leaves caking your boots feels like they’re weighing you down, the wet mud pulling you in further with each footfall.

Hot tears spill along your freezing cheeks. Your breath comes in shallow gasps, muffled by your palm. 

The silence is broken as the wind tears through the trees with a whistling howl. Your steps grow heavier, fighting against the wet mud. You sprint until your legs burn, your chest heaving, choking on your tears.

Finally, there’s a glow in the distance. Headlights. Rhett. You gasp out, struggling for breath, rushing for the treeline. Breaking out into the light, your body trembles.

He’s standing by the driver’s side door. Illuminated just by the beams, his figure sunless and hard to see. His shadow stretches out far beyond the hood.

His back is to you. He’s facing the Abbott house, three miles back the way you had come.

You wipe your streaming nose, catching the tears on your jaw, sniffling hard.  “… Rhett? — Rhett, what the fuck was—“

Your voice stops as instantly as Rhett’s footsteps had. It’s like a kick to the chest. 

Rhett’s head turns. Real slow, like the hand of a clock, ticking, ticking — ticking until he has turned enough to be watching you over his shoulder. Peering at you through the driver’s side window, and then the windshield of his old truck.

His eyes are dark and hollow. He doesn’t have the flashlight anymore. There’s something different about him, but maybe that’s just the dark.

The words are caught in your throat and you can’t manage to say anything further.

He moves swiftly, stepping out from beside the door, putting both hands onto the hood of the truck. He steps into the shadow cast by the headlights, darkness falling over his face.

“You look like you’ve seen a ghost.” His voice comes out softly, familiar, almost amused.

Barely visible, an indistinct form, creeping out from around the hood. Inching towards you. 

Long, slender fingers curling across the headlight and casting shadows over your face. Shadowy legs that follow. He steps into the beam of the headlights once more. 

A bent neck, and yellow, lifeless eyes. A wide-stretching smile.

It braces on its legs, dull, hollow eyes growing wide with a sudden excitement, unblinking. Its tight lips peel back across its face, baring sharp, bloodied teeth.

You had taken a wrong turn after all.

Miss Meguca contest (casual outfits), comments

All preliminary rounds are now over! Since there was some variance in how many people voted each round, I'll have to calculate everyone's scores with percentages. So I think the final round won't start until tomorrow. In the meantime, here are the comments:

Round 1

Let’s Hope Madoka Wins this Thing Again. I want to See an Idol or Maybe a special Surprise Image song round or something.

Most of these outfits are so good. I only docked off points for some of them cause they weren’t as interesting. Also Ayaka’s outfit is perfect except for the color of her tights

Always glad to see my girl, Ashley!

Hoods are always a good taste, so…

I'm a sucker for suspenders!

Yuuna, Rena and Kokoro are the TOP of winter fashion!!!

There're quite a few outfits I WANT to like but they're just drawn so weird. Like. Why is Mitsune's sweatshirt Like That.

Also why is Mami dressed like she's in her 40s.

I really love all the varied silhouettes Magireco gives its characters in their casual clothes. Yuuna's is probably my least favourite because it's so boring. Ikumi's cat socks are extremely 2010s fashion and I love them.

Ashley has the best one here! It's practically something I would wear!

Rena's was so cute… until the short shorts. Girl!!! Your thighs are going to freeze!!! At least with skirts it's easy to wear skin colored thermal tights!

Ikumi: I'm going to wear e-girl cat socks with the most boring fit possible.

Round 2

Ren's outfit is so adorable!

Bring On Da Next Round! I Need Madoka to Win!

Yuma stands out not being super detailed, but I like it.

Scene 0 Madoka's outfit isn't bad but I don't think the silhouette and blue jacket necessarily suit her. Also adult Hikaru's outfit looks like something I'd wear in IRL help

Yuna: I don't understand the transparent fabric on her, but aside from that, is a pretty fashionable outfit

Akari: The bunny purse? The bow with the scarf? The puffy shorts? *chef's kiss

Moka: teh top part is a 10, but the bottom is a 3

I would once again kill for Mami's, but Ria's on the block too

Felicia ily but THAT clothes???????

Round 3

It's designs like these that get my hopes up about character design and fashion.

Alina wins out because of the paint on her clothes!

No Madoka Here but I’m Alright with That Besides Madoka Is Gonna Be the Winner Again!

I love Alina's painting clothes 💚💛❤️

So many cute designs in this round💖

ADORE alinas outfit, its so unique among the rest of the super feminine and cutesy casual outfits!

What is up with that bow on Tomoko’s outfit? It feels like everything was just slapped together when it comes to how she’s dressed.

Round 4

sorry, kyouko. i cant stand orange+green color combos.

Finally a good outfit for Kyoko!

Why does it feel that they put more effort into making the winter ones and just slap some ramdom shirts and skirts for casual?

They really did Kyouko dirty in this game.

Looking Good I know Madoka is the Winner nothing ordinary or new!

Thought Homura had a mustache necklace for a sec

I was gonna give glasses Homura a -1, but she's getting a 2 for the mustache necklace actually. I don't like it but it's such a bold choice and I love that for her lmao

I dislike Kirika but her clothes are in my fav choices ;;

I find my choices a little funny in hindsight because Kokoro's outfit is a hiking outfit and it looks nice but it also feels very generic, but I also feel like Leila's outfit looks like she's about to go camping or something. Also I am OBSESSED with Homura's mustache necklace.

Round 5

I'd like to make a disclaimer that I'm not rating Ranka's outfit 1 because I hate it, I just don't think it makes a good winter outfit necessarily. But does this also mean she's into larme kei and shops at places like MA*RS and Ank Rouge? Also: 1) Yachiyo's cold shoulder sweater dress amuses me for some reason. Girl your shoulders! 2) Green is a very interesting colour choice for Temari.

Hotaru, my beloved!! Sleepy queen!!

This is getting Good Final around Ahead and Madoka must Win!

I want Konomi's one so baaaad!!!!

Homura with glasses has the best outfits ;_; I have seen a lot of hers in the polls and always I love how she mixes cutesy with black clothes

Some of these are awful

Round 6

Lots of threes this time for interesting silhouettes or designs that make me go "yeah, that's [character]"! Also Mifuyu's outfit is just one of my faves in general

These are not as awful as the other but somehow most of them has something that ruins the look for me.

The thing is, a magical girl costume is always so extravagant and beautiful, that when we go back to their casual clothes, we expect nothing less. Bu then it comes some disappointment, because they look so plain and simple.

Last One I Need Madoka To Win!!

hard to be picky abt it ;-; they're all so pretty tbh

ui looks adorable!! i love her little outfit! you can certainly tell she's a kid. i find her outfit works really well over all. a lot of others i felt like there'd be one or 2 elements just don't fit with the rest but ui's just matches perfectly in my eyes

This is so difficult because imo the game has really really good designs for the casual outfits

Round 7

Kyoko looks really good in purple

After seeing Yachiyo's dress everything seems pretty.

Disclaimer I like Kyouko's outfit but I don't think it suits /her/ personally. I don't really like the mauve on Oriko? I feel like she should be wearing white or a very pale lilac at least. Tsubaki's is okay I guess and there's something about Tsukuyo's I don't entirely vibe with for some reason

I came to the conclusion that Homura is the Fashion Queen…

And poor Kyouko has so much to learn…

Let’s Hope Madoka wins this whole Thing!

Kyoko's outfit is great, but not a good fit for Kyoko.

Nagisa gets a 3. The OG deserves it. Too good for this world. Too pure. Deserves all the cheese.

Again, Homura has the best outfits

[kokusfluffyhair]

hi there! i stumbled on your blog and the kokushibo headcanons are cute lol. i was wondering what your thoughts are on a modern au? like his style, what his house/apartment would be like, what he’d do for work, that kinda thing. if you answered this before or if you’re not taking requests I’m so sorry, pls ignore! have a good rest of your day :)

Kokushibou Modern AU Headcanons

(I'm going to put him in his human form for this)

A little about him

+ His name is Tsugikuni Michikatsu, but Kokushibou is a nickname of his

+ He got the nickname from other members of a kendo club he participates in

+ Doing kendo is his main hobby and he sometimes enters competitions

+ He hasn't won a competition yet and has the habit of coming in second place

+ He grew up in a small town not far from Kyoto, but he lives in Tokyo now for work

+ He enjoys the options available in the city, but it can be too busy and crowded for him

+ He's a bit distanced from his family and doesn't visit them often

His job

+ He works as an editor for a publishing company

+ He doesn't mind his job and he makes pretty good money. But he does work overtime quite often

+ His least favourite part of his job is talking to people. He's glad that his job doesn't make him talk to the public (like he would if he worked at a shop or restaurant), but talking to clients or even his colleagues is exhausting and annoying to him

+ Once he reached a high enough position in the company, he stopped going to the 'mandatory' drinking sessions after work

+ His colleagues don't really like him for that, but now that he's in an editor position, there's not much they can do about it

+ His work is always very high quality

His apartment

+ He lives in a residential neighbourhood of Tokyo, just outside of the city centre

+ His apartment is a one-bedroom. It's in a modern building, but the design of the apartment is more traditional

+ He has a collection of calligraphy scrolls that he hangs on his walls

+ He has a single indoor plant by the main window

+ One of the things he invested in is his bathing area. It would look kind of like this, and he's very proud of it:

(photo from japan-guide.com)

+ He can sit in there for hours. He might have fallen asleep in that bathtub once and is lucky his head stayed out of the water

+ He's kind of obsessed with his heated toilet seat, and if you don't use a bidet (or bidet function), he thinks you are a barbarian

+ He likes to play quiet music at home and hums along often

+ The music he plays is either traditional music or vkei

+ Liking vkei is his guilty pleasure

His style

+ He wears a typical black or dark grey suit to work. He ties up his long hair in a man-bun

+ When not at work, he usually wears his hair in a high ponytail. When it's hot out, he wears it in a man-bun regardless of where he is

+ However, he wears it down when he sleeps, without exception

+ His non-work wear is casual, but sleek-looking

+ He pulls off a nice t-shirt with jeans or trousers very well

+ Sometimes he wears well-made, high-quality sweatpants (like the kind that don't really look like sweatpants but they are)

+ He doesn't like shopping, so he probably buys all his normal clothes at Uniqlo. He did, however, invest in better-quality suits for work

+ He wears the same pair of Adidas trainers that he's had for years and somehow they're still in very good condition

+ In the colder months, he half-buries his face in a scarf when he's outside

+ He has an excessive amount of socks for some reason

+ He wears jinbei as pyjamas most of the time, but will wear some thermal sweats during the winter

+ No matter how hot it is, he will not go shirtless, even if he's alone at home

His hygiene

+ He bathes daily in the evening, and it's a ritual for him

+ He's really into hair care for the obvious reason

+ He uses the &honey shampoo/hair care line

(picture from myjcos.com)

+ He also likes the smell of tea tree-scented soaps

+ His facial hair grows thicker on his chin and moustache area. He shaves every day, but there tends to be a bit of a shadow come the evening

+ For some reason, he has this obsession about grooming his eyebrows

+ He shaves his body hair

Other things about him

+ He doesn't like Apple products

+ He wears glasses for reading

+ He sneezes a lot (whether from allergies or from having a cold)

+ He likes to cook

+ Karaage is one of his favourite foods

+ He likes to play RPGs

+ He's not good with foreign languages

+ He's one of those people who needs to sleep with a blanket no matter how hot it is

+ He's a side-sleeper

+ He gets sweaty at the back of his neck and his forehead

+ He has some random freckles on his face that he covers with concealer

+ He's a loner, but wishes he had someone to spend his life with

+ He easily feels cold

+ He's depressed, but is in denial about it

+ He tends to fall asleep while a movie is playing

+ He loves to open his window on summer nights and watch the moon and stars

[fazcinatingblog]

Hey I was hoping you would reblog cos I know you know tax/accountanty stuff! I sincerely hope it’s not true but Marnie Vinall said it on a podcast. That’s my only source and I have no idea how to check :( but thank you!!

I trust Marnie, she's definitely right.

wait, it's actually on the ATO website, damn so they can claim fines only for on-field conduct. interesting. i hope Zak Butters knows about this.

and yeah she's right about the sports bra not technically deductible (because it's sort of an everyday items like socks, underwear, etc) but also technically it's specifically designed for sport so I still think it could be claimed as protective clothing. I've seen tradies' tax returns who deduct all their thermals, socks, boots, lunchbox, tools, etc.

rort the system, Zak

Nike Elevates Retro Running with New Colors and Weather-Ready Vomero Silhouette

Nike’s Vomero lineage continues to deliver, offering top-tier performance for runners and trendsetting style for sneaker enthusiasts. Known for its unbeatable cushioning and comfort, the Vomero 5 is now back with a fresh take on early 2000s nostalgia, versatility, and all-day wearability. Available in kids' sizes and new colorways, Nike has also introduced the Vomero Roam—a weatherized lifestyle version that brings traction, protection, and durability for all seasons.

Rooted in performance since its original 2011 launch, the remastered Vomero 5 features Nike’s signature Zoom Air cushioning in the heel, delivering unmatched comfort for runners and casual wearers alike. The breathable upper, crafted from synthetic leather and mesh TecTuff, offers a layered, durable design. With an expanded range of bold statement colors and versatile neutral hues, the Vomero 5 continues to be a styling staple.

Nike didn’t forget the younger crowd. The Vomero 5 Kids’ edition, launched this fall, includes kid-friendly features like a more durable rubber outsole, enhanced sock liners, and pull tabs for easy on-and-off wear.

Nike athlete and UConn guard Paige Bueckers shares her love for the shoe, saying, "The Vomero 5 is super comfy. It gives off this retro vibe that I love, and it feels different from what I usually wear. The colorways are fire, and it just looks great."

On the other hand, the all-new Vomero Roam is designed to hold up in any weather. Part of Nike’s Roam collection, it blends form and function with water-resistant finishes, thermal linings, and bold tooling that provides excellent traction. The sleek upper, clean leathers, and contemporary pops of color make it perfect for any season.

Both models reflect the Vomero’s growing influence in sportswear, where the blend of retro running aesthetics and modern style has exploded in popularity. While the Vomero 5’s origins are firmly rooted in performance running, its streetwear appeal gained momentum in 2018 when Nike partnered with British designer Samuel Ross to give the shoe a fashion-forward makeover.

This remastered version sparked a resurgence in the retro running trend, especially during the pandemic when comfort and a laid-back aesthetic became essential. Nike has since continued to evolve the Vomero, catering to both performance runners and sneaker fans looking for fresh seasonal styles inspired by the brand’s rich history.

The Vomero 5 is available now globally at Nike.com and select retailers, while the Vomero Roam drops on November 1. Don’t miss out on these must-have additions to the Vomero lineup!

A homeless person on the streets with essential items for survival in extreme cold-weather conditions: thermal clothing, sleeping bags, insulated footwear, and nutritious food.

Winter is a daunting season for those living on the streets. For the homeless, plummeting temperatures and harsh conditions transform daily survival into a formidable challenge. Understanding the essential items that can aid their survival is crucial, not just for the individuals themselves but also for those looking to offer help. This article outlines the top five things a homeless person needs to survive in cold-weather conditions, explaining how each item contributes to their safety and well-being.

1. Thermal Clothing and Layering

The first line of defense against the cold is appropriate clothing. Thermal clothing, including insulated jackets, thermal underwear, and woolen socks, is essential. These items are designed to trap body heat and provide a layer of insulation against the cold. Layering clothing is equally important as it creates multiple barriers against the cold, allowing for adjustments based on temperature changes. For a homeless person, having access to these kinds of clothing can mean the difference between staying warm and suffering from hypothermia.

2. Sleeping Bags and Blankets

At night, temperatures can drop drastically, making it extremely dangerous for those without shelter. A high-quality sleeping bag, particularly one designed for low temperatures, can save a life. Sleeping bags provide a portable shelter that retains body heat and shields from the cold ground. Additionally, blankets, especially those made from wool or fleece, add an extra layer of warmth and can be used to cover oneself during the day or to add insulation to the sleeping bag at night.

3. Waterproof and Insulated Footwear

Footwear is often overlooked but is crucial in cold weather. Waterproof and insulated boots can protect against frostbite, a condition that homeless individuals are particularly at risk of developing. Boots should be sturdy enough to handle icy conditions and have a good grip to prevent falls. Keeping feet dry and warm not only helps in maintaining overall body temperature but also in preventing foot injuries, which can be debilitating for someone living on the streets.

4. Nutritious Food and Hydration

Maintaining energy levels and hydration is vital in cold weather. The body burns more calories trying to stay warm, making nutritious, calorie-rich food essential for homeless individuals. Non-perishable items that can be easily consumed, such as energy bars, nuts, and canned food with pull tabs, are particularly useful. Access to clean drinking water is also critical as dehydration can lead to serious health issues and can be as dangerous in cold weather as it is in hot conditions.

5. Shelter and Temporary Housing

While not a portable item, access to temporary shelters or housing is a crucial need for homeless individuals during winter. Shelters provide a warm, safe space to sleep and access to other essential services like hot meals, bathrooms, and sometimes medical care. Even temporary relief from the harsh outdoor conditions can significantly reduce the risk of hypothermia and other cold-related illnesses.

For those living on the streets, the winter months are a battle against the elements. Thermal clothing, sleeping bags, appropriate footwear, nutritious food, and access to shelter are not just comforts but necessities that can mean the difference between life and death. Understanding these needs is vital for anyone seeking to assist the homeless during these challenging months. Beyond the immediate provision of these items, there is also a need for systemic solutions to address the broader issue of homelessness, ensuring that everyone has access to safe and warm housing.

Beyond the Basics: Lesser-Known Survival Items for the Homeless in Extreme Cold Weather

While thermal clothing, sleeping bags, and shelters are widely recognized as essential for the homeless during winter, there are several lesser-known items equally crucial for survival in extreme cold weather. These items, often overlooked, can make a significant difference in the lives of those who must endure the harshness of winter on the streets. This article explores a range of such items, explaining their importance and how they contribute to the survival of homeless individuals in challenging conditions.

1. Hand and Foot Warmers Disposable hand and foot warmers are compact, inexpensive, and can be life-saving in frigid temperatures. These small packets generate heat through a chemical reaction and can be placed in gloves, boots, or pockets. They provide immediate warmth, helping to prevent frostbite and hypothermia, particularly in the extremities, which are most susceptible to cold injuries.

2. Emergency Mylar Thermal Blankets While not a substitute for conventional blankets or sleeping bags, Mylar thermal blankets are lightweight, compact, and effective at retaining body heat. Made from heat-reflective thin plastic sheeting, they are often used in emergency situations. For the homeless, these blankets can be a vital additional layer of protection against the cold, especially when other resources are not available.

3. Windproof and Waterproof Clothing In addition to insulated clothing, windproof and waterproof garments play a vital role in protection against the cold. A sturdy, waterproof jacket or windbreaker can significantly reduce the impact of cold winds and wet weather, helping to maintain body heat. For those living on the streets, these items are indispensable in creating a barrier against the elements.

4. Portable Heat Sources Portable, safe-to-use heating solutions like battery-powered heaters can offer a respite from the cold. While their use is limited by the need for power, they can provide temporary relief in particularly harsh conditions. Additionally, solar-powered chargers can be useful for keeping electronic devices powered, which may be critical for communication or emergency calls.

5. Moisture-Wicking Clothing Moisture-wicking clothing, typically made from synthetic fabrics, is designed to draw moisture away from the body. This feature is particularly important in cold weather, as dampness can significantly increase the risk of hypothermia. Clothing that keeps the skin dry can help maintain warmth and comfort in extreme conditions.

6. Multi-Tool and Basic Repair Kits A multi-tool can be a versatile and valuable item for the homeless, especially in winter. It can be used for various purposes, from making minor repairs to clothing and gear to opening cans of food. A basic repair kit, including items like needles, thread, and duct tape, can also be crucial for mending torn clothing or damaged shelter materials.

7. Lip Balm and Skin Moisturizers The harsh winter weather can cause severe skin dryness and chapping. Lip balm and skin moisturizers may seem like minor comforts, but they are essential for preventing painful cracks and sores that could lead to infections, especially when access to healthcare is limited.

8. High-Calorie Snacks While not a substitute for nutritious meals, high-calorie snacks such as peanut butter, energy bars, or trail mix can provide a quick energy boost and essential nutrients, helping to sustain body warmth and energy levels during cold spells.

9. Hats, Gloves, and Scarves Though often mentioned in the context of clothing, the specific importance of hats, gloves, and scarves warrants emphasis. A significant amount of body heat is lost through the head, hands, and neck, making these items crucial for warmth. They are particularly important for those who might not have access to high-quality thermal clothing.

10. Information on Local Resources Finally, knowledge can be as vital as physical items. Information on local resources, such as warming centers, soup kitchens, and emergency health services, is crucial. Flyers, resource guides, or even word-of-mouth information can guide the homeless to essential services and aid.

The battle against the cold for those living on the streets involves more than just the obvious items of clothing and shelter. It encompasses a range of lesser-known but equally important items, each playing a critical role in survival. Understanding and providing access to these items can significantly improve the lives of homeless individuals in extreme cold weather. As we continue to address the broader issue of homelessness, recognizing and meeting these varied needs is essential in our collective effort to offer support and compassion to those facing life on the streets during the harshest season.

Winter Appeal 2024 | Donate Winter Survival Kit | AWF

As temperatures plummet and winter sets in, many vulnerable families and individuals around the world brace for months of hardship. For those living without proper shelter, clothing, or heating, winter is more than just a challenging season—it is a life-threatening ordeal. This is where Al-Wahab Foundation's Winter Appeal 2024 steps in, offering a lifeline to those in need. Your support can provide essential items through the Winter Survival Kit, ensuring that families can stay warm, safe, and healthy during this harsh season.

The Plight of the Vulnerable in Winter

Winter can be a beautiful season, but for countless people, it brings unimaginable struggles. Refugees in camps, families in conflict zones, and homeless individuals in urban areas face freezing temperatures without adequate protection. Lack of warm clothing, blankets, and heating leads to increased cases of hypothermia, frostbite, and respiratory illnesses.

The Winter Survival Kit distributed by AWF directly addresses these challenges. Each kit contains carefully selected items, such as thermal blankets, warm clothing, and basic heating supplies, tailored to provide maximum comfort and warmth.

What is a Winter Survival Kit?

A Winter Survival Kit is more than just a collection of items; it is a comprehensive package designed to help individuals endure extreme winter conditions. The kits typically include:

Thermal blankets for insulation against freezing temperatures.

Warm clothing such as jackets, gloves, hats, and socks.

Heating supplies to provide a reliable source of warmth.

Food packs with high-energy meals to maintain strength and health.

Basic medical supplies to address cold-related health issues.

By donating a Winter Survival Kit, you ensure that families, especially children and the elderly, can survive the winter with dignity and safety.

How AWF’s Winter Appeal Makes a Difference

Every donation matters. A single Winter Survival Kit can be the difference between life and death for someone exposed to freezing conditions.

This year, the demand for Winter Survival Kits is higher than ever. AWF aims to reach as many people as possible, but this goal can only be achieved with your help. A small contribution can have a profound impact, ensuring that no one has to face the cold alone.

Your donation is a reflection of compassion and humanity, bringing warmth and hope to those who need it most.

The Impact of Your Generosity

Each Winter Survival Kit you sponsor has a tangible and immediate impact. It provides relief from the cold, restores health, and instills hope in the hearts of recipients. Imagine the relief of a mother who can wrap her children in warm blankets or the gratitude of an elderly person no longer fearing the night’s chill.

AWF ensures transparency and accountability in its operations. Donors receive updates on how their contributions are used, fostering trust and confidence in the cause.

Stories of Hope

Over the years, AWF’s winter appeals have transformed lives. One beneficiary, Amina, a widow in Syria, shared her story:

“Last winter, I had no way to keep my children warm. We were surviving on one thin blanket. When AWF delivered the Winter Survival Kit, it was like a miracle. My children are alive today because of the generosity of strangers.”

Stories like Amina’s remind us of the profound impact we can have when we come together for a common cause.

Act Now – Make This Winter Warmer for Someone in Need

How to Layer Your Outdoor Outfit: Must-Have Cargo Pants, Caps, Sunglasses, and Socks

Outdoor adventures are more than just excitement and enthusiasm. They require a lot of preparation and stuff to keep you protected. This is where Gokyo comes in handy. A website that has innumerable travel stuff to offer to globetrotters. With different clothing options, perfect for traveling, Gokyo ensures that nothing should hinder your adventure. Yet, there are times when just wearing the clothes is not enough; you need to layer them in a way that keeps you protected from the chills and cold. 

Layering is an art that can make a difference in your comfort if done properly. And Gokyo is here to serve the best pieces to layer while you climb the silver treks. 

Starting with the base layer: go for a moisture-wicking fabric that keeps the sweat away from your skin and should keep you warm. Gokyo's base layer thermal bottoms and tops are the best pick, which keep you warm even in the freezing cold air of the mountains. The fabric of the clothing item is such that it retains heat in the chilling weather outside. 

Layer up with cargo pants: cargo pants are a versatile pick when it comes to outdoor activities. Comfortable enough, the pants offer just the right amount of functionality and durability. The multi-functioning of the pants makes it the go-to pick for any outdoor adventure. Gokyo's Cargo Pants are meticulously engineered with cotton fabric, ensuring robustness and comfort. Designed for outdoor enthusiasts, these ultralight pants feature six functional pockets, which are ideal for photographers, campers, trekkers, and travelers seeking durability and practicality in their gear.

Top it off with a cap: a good cap is an extremely essential item while traveling. It protects you from the chilly wind or scorching heat of the sun. Gokyo’s lightweight caps and beanies, which provide the utmost comfort, are the perfect fit. Apart from saving you from the UV light of the sun, the cap doesn’t compromise with the looks. It gives you a smart and sporty look. The breathability of the cap should be kept in mind as well. 

Shield your eyes with sunglasses: sunglasses are not just a fashion accessory; they protect your eyes from harsh winds and harmful rays of the sun. While selecting a sunglass, things to keep in mind are polarized lenses, which reduce glare from reflective surfaces like snow and water pound styles and provide protection from the sun and durability. Gokyo’s UV protection sunglasses are the best pick. 

Lastly, socks: finish your look with insulated socks that keep your feet warm and cozy while you hike. Go for moisture-wicking material and take care of cushioning as well. 

Layering the outfit correctly is the one thing that can elevate your traveling experience. It can make a difference in the sky and ground. So they must be learned properly for you to enjoy every essence of the trek. Gokyo’s trekking socks are the best ones. 

Conclusion: 

Enjoy the outside adventure while you stay safe and warm inside. Layer with the best of Gokyo’s options and don't let anything hinder your experience.

How to Maintain Comfort and Flexibility in Your Swedish Figure Skating Gear?

Figure skating demands a combination of agility, grace, and strength, making comfort and flexibility essential in your skating gear. For skaters in Sweden, where colder climates add another layer of challenge, finding the right balance between performance and warmth is crucial. Whether you're preparing for competition or practice, here's how you can ensure your figure skating clothes allow for maximum comfort and flexibility on the ice.

1. Choose the Right Fabric for Swedish Conditions

Sweden's cold climate means that staying warm without sacrificing movement is key. Opt for fabrics that are both breathable and flexible, such as spandex and polyester blends, which are common in figure skating gear. These materials provide stretch for a full range of motion while wicking away moisture, keeping you dry during intense skating sessions.

Thermal layers like fleece-lined leggings or long-sleeve tops are ideal for colder rinks, as they retain warmth without adding bulk. Look for clothes with built-in temperature control technology to help you stay comfortable in varying conditions.

2. Layer Smartly for Warmth and Mobility

Layering is an essential strategy for maintaining flexibility without overheating. Start with a moisture-wicking base layer to keep sweat off your skin, followed by a fitted mid-layer for insulation. In Sweden's colder months, a lightweight jacket designed for figure skaters can add warmth without restricting movement.

When layering, make sure each piece of clothing is snug but not too tight. This ensures your gear moves with you rather than restricting your performance on the ice.

3. Prioritize Stretch and Elasticity in Skating Apparel

Flexibility is non-negotiable in figure skating, where you need to execute spins, jumps, and complex footwork effortlessly. Skating outfits with four-way stretch materials provide the best range of motion, ensuring your gear adapts to every movement. Check for clothing with elastic waistbands and cuffs that stay in place during your routines, allowing you to skate freely without constant adjustments.

Compression fabrics can also be a great option, as they support your muscles and improve circulation, all while providing the stretch necessary for dynamic skating.

4. Opt for Custom-Fit Skating Gear

If off-the-rack figure skating clothes don't quite meet your needs, consider custom-fit options. Tailored gear offers the perfect balance of comfort and flexibility by catering to your unique measurements and preferences. Many Swedish figure skaters invest in custom gear, especially for competition outfits, where performance and aesthetics need to go hand in hand.

Custom-fit gear eliminates the discomfort caused by ill-fitting clothes and ensures your outfit doesn’t hinder your technique.

5. Maintain Your Skating Clothes for Longevity

Maintaining the quality of your figure skating gear is crucial for comfort and flexibility. After every session, wash your clothes according to the care instructions to preserve their elasticity and moisture-wicking properties. Air-dry your clothes rather than using a dryer to prevent shrinkage or damage to the fabric.

By keeping your skating clothes in good condition, you’ll ensure they continue to provide the comfort and flexibility you need on the ice.

6. Invest in High-Quality Accessories

Accessories such as gloves, socks, and headbands can enhance your comfort during long skating sessions. Choose accessories made from breathable, flexible materials that allow you to maintain dexterity and warmth. In Sweden, where temperatures can drop significantly in skating arenas, thermal socks and gloves with grip-enhancing technology are a must.

Conclusion

Maintaining figure skating clothes sweden comfort and flexibility is essential for achieving peak performance on the ice. By selecting the right fabrics, layering smartly, and ensuring a good fit, you can move freely while staying warm and dry. Whether you’re practicing in the colder months or competing in tournaments, following these tips will help you focus on what truly matters—your skating technique.
