Vallée d'Ossau

Three days hiking in the heat, through charming villages and along bike paths, with the Pic du Midi in the distance. We perfected our set up and got used to eating so much all the time.

Hello! My friend and I adore you fic and were curious if Scar had any sort of disabled equipment such as a wheelchair or cane?

Hi!! If you're sending me this ask then I assume you've read Chapter 8, which is where we go into some more detail about Scar's backstory. I don't make any mention of mobility aids in that chapter though, so thanks for the question!

No, Scar does not use a wheelchair in Firewatch AU. Fire lookouts and mountain hiking trails are in general not very accessible, unfortunately. As for a cane, I have not decided, but he would certainly make use of dual hiking (trekking) poles when going to and from his lookout and other places. It's my understanding that while hiking poles may not be a good permanent replacement for a cane year-round, that they would still fulfill the same need pretty well. As in, I find it unlikely he would carry an extra cane to his lookout when he already has dual hiking sticks. So the answer to that question is a...maybe???

I have a few ideas for associated works in this AU, and one of them is a short Scar-centric fic. I can definitely expand a lot more on his character there, since in the main fic we only get the details Scar tells Grian. Overall though, in this AU Scar has chronic pain (and indeed some mobility issues) associated with the accident he was in. I have not pinned down exactly what all his injuries were, though. I did a lot of research looking at stories from other people's experiences, but ultimately the healing process is very individual so I didn't come up with any "blueprints" for everything. It's something I plan to research more when I get to a place where I need to be specific.

Healthy Benefits of Walking/Jogging this Late Summer

Walking and jogging are excellent physical exercises that can improve your overall health. Late summer is a perfect time to start a walking or jogging routine, as temperatures are cooler, and the weather is generally pleasant. Here are some of the health benefits of walking and jogging:

Boosts cardiovascular health: Walking/jogging improves blood circulation, which can help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Strengthens muscles: Regular walking/jogging can improve muscle tone and increase strength, especially in the legs, hips, and core.

Boosts mental health: Walking/jogging can reduce stress and anxiety, leading to an improved mood and better sleep.

Aids weight loss: Walking/jogging can burn calories, and over time, help you lose weight.

Promotes bone health: Walking/jogging promotes bone density, which can reduce the risk of osteoporosis and other bone-related ailments. NOTE: It's been said that the tick population is quite high this year. Be mindful of your person. Stay protected while out and about.

The piercers keep reminding and recommending that I don't sleep on my side for at least another 3 months

But (to use the Tumblr phrase) I sleep like a rotisserie chicken

They suggest using like an airplane travel pillow thing but I still can't really see how that will help

We've managed to save the helix pericing but the lobe one healed over in like. Less than 12 hours. So I have to wait a couple weeks to heal fully and then repierce and start from scratch on that one.

High pyrenees national park

After each crest there was another lake and every few meters there was another stream to cross. We crossed the border to Spain, marked by a broken sign saying 'don't litter' and began the descent in the Val d'Aragon.
