How to Plan a Solo Camping Trip

After watching countless episodes of Outdoor Boys on YouTube, where Luke Nichols showcases his solo camping adventures in some of the most remote and beautiful locations, I felt inspired to try solo camping myself. The way he connects with nature, embraces solitude, and navigates challenges is truly captivating. Planning a solo camping trip can be one of the most rewarding experiences for…

I’ve already posted about my big theories for nerdy prudes, but I just wanted to get my personal hopes and mini predictions down in a neat little list before I finally see the digital ticket on Tuesday! I will reblog this with a completed checklist once I’ve seen it (obviously with spoilers tagged) CANT WAIT!!

so, in no particular order:

paul and emma cameo. I think paul is confirmed based on this one post I saw but the photo was very blurry so it could be someone else… still both lauren and jon are in the show, they had a cameo in black friday - I just think they deserve to be together and happy in every universe until they inevitably die or break up horribly and I would squee so hard if they really showed up

ted cameo where he immediately dies. because come on. you can’t not do it you just can’t

stephski kiss. I just think they’re neat

HOLLODUKE APPEARANCE. HOLLODUKE APPEARANCE HOLLODUKE APPEARANCE HOLLODUKE APPEARANCE HOLLODUKE APPEARANCE HOLLOD

the book they get the ritual from is the black book which is how miss holloway (as the student counsellor miss holiday) ties in.

grace gets a solo song and also a lethal weapon.

grace canonically has a crush on steph. idk I’m very happy with the “we’re besties” “I hate you and want you dead” dynamic but also “I’m madly in love with you and obsessed with you and also a repressed christian teenager” “I hate you and want you dead and also have a boyfriend” has potential

bill and alice cameo. corey and mariah have played father and daughter twice and I think they could get some quality jokes out of that even if just for one scene

the apocalypse happens and everyone dies just like in the other two musicals - otherwise I think it would pretty much just feel like a nightmare time episode scaled up to 10 which doesn’t sound bad, just not what fans are looking for in a full fledged hatchetfield musical

detective shapiro will be an undercover peip agent or at least connected to them in some way

it’s set in the same universe as abstinence camp (therefore ted is alive, grace steph and pete have established dynamics with each other, they know about weird shit in hatchetfield, etc)

my theories end up being correct. or at least blinky is the major villain and the murderer is being controlled by him and “larry” is an important character

HERE IS HOW GENERAL MACNAMARA CAN STILL WIN-

Eurovision 2005 - Number 5 - Königwerq - "Unschlagbar"

Germany's national final was a controversial one, but chart-rigging scandals aside, it ran exactly like the previous year. There were even some acts that felt like analogues of acts from 2004. As they'd been picked from record industry submissions, you can imagine the production team sitting in an office with a checklist of acts to include that had 2004 crossed out at the top and 2005 written in biro next to it. Well why not after such a successful show?

This year's MIA. equivalent is Königwerq, a group formed by and around lead singer and song-writer Dania König. Their established manifesto was to write and sing songs in the German language and to be as poetic as possible. Deploying the marvellously descriptive word "Weltschmerzstrudel" in the first verse fits that brief admirably.

Having formed in 2003, 2005 was their breakout year, with an album to promote as well as a single. The marketing department of Polydor must have been happy to have them accepted onto Germany 12 Point!

Unschlagbar (Unbeatable) is a song about getting out of your bedclothes of under-stimulation, going out and having fun. The thrill and excitement of indulgence and sociability seem to be the only things that Dania wants in her life and that's enough to give her superpowered indefatigability. The song joins in with acid fanfares of happy brass; the sound of all getting-out-of-the-house-it's-summer songs since at least the mid 20th century.

It was written by Dania and band member Mathias Kiefer, and feels almost too happy about life. There's a hint of a cocaine about the wide-eyed enthusiasm and energy for all things, but that's not exactly what's going on. Dania is Christian and although this isn't a song about faith, it feels like an anthem that could be played in the disco of a Christian summer camp to the approval of all present.

NDR weren't feeling like releasing the full final positions of the televote again, and so all we know is that Königwerq didn't finish in the top three of televote and thus progressed no further. Germany didn't really take to them, although there were very popular on the radio stations of Baden and Bayern in southern Germany - the band are from the Black Forest area of Baden-Württemberg. It was enough for a second album in 2007 before the band split and Dania went solo.

Since then she's recorded several albums with Christian themes released by Christian music publishers. She's also continued teaching singing and still writes music. She wrote the music for the Annual Motto of the Ecumenical Working Group for Bible Reading - which is apparently a big thing, but must be the most niche piece of song-writing I've heard in a post national final career so far.

Ultimate Guide to Everest Base Camp Trek and Everest Three High Passes Trek

Introduction to the Everest Base Camp Trek

Embarking on the Everest Base Camp Trek is a dream for many adventure enthusiasts. This iconic trek offers breathtaking views of the world’s highest peak, Mount Everest, and immerses you in the rich culture of the Sherpa people.

Why Choose Everest Base Camp Trek?

The Everest Base Camp Trek is ideal for those seeking a combination of challenge and stunning natural beauty. The trek starts from Lukla and takes you through picturesque villages, lush forests, and rugged terrains, culminating at the Everest Base Camp at an altitude of 5,364 meters.

Highlights of the Trek

• Scenic Landscapes: Witness awe-inspiring views of Everest, Lhotse, and Nuptse.

• Cultural Experience: Explore the vibrant Sherpa culture and visit ancient monasteries.

• Sagarmatha National Park: Walk through this UNESCO World Heritage site, home to diverse flora and fauna.

Everest Three High Passes Trek: An Adventurer’s Dream

For those looking for an extra thrill, the Everest Three High Passes Trek is a perfect choice. This trek not only takes you to Everest Base Camp but also includes crossing three challenging high passes: Kongma La, Cho La, and Renjo La.

Challenges and Rewards

The Everest Three High Passes Trekking is more demanding than the Everest Base Camp Trek. It requires crossing high-altitude passes, each over 5,000 meters, but the rewards are immense.

• Kongma La Pass: The highest pass at 5,535 meters, offering panoramic views of the Himalayas.

• Cho La Pass: A steep and icy pass at 5,420 meters, leading to the stunning Gokyo Lakes.

• Renjo La Pass: At 5,360 meters, this pass provides a breathtaking view of the Everest massif and the Gokyo Valley.

Preparation and Training

Both treks demand good physical fitness and proper acclimatization. It is recommended to undergo regular cardio training and practice hiking with a backpack. Acclimatization days are crucial to avoid altitude sickness.

Best Time to Trek

The best seasons for these treks are pre-monsoon (March to May) and post-monsoon (September to November). During these periods, the weather is stable, and the skies are clear, offering the best views.

Essential Gear and Equipment

Packing the right gear is essential for a successful trek. Here’s a checklist of must-have items:

• Clothing: Layered clothing to manage varying temperatures.

• Footwear: Sturdy, waterproof trekking boots.

• Gear: Trekking poles, sleeping bag, and a good-quality backpack.

• Accessories: Sunglasses, sunscreen, and a first-aid kit.

Trekking with a Guide or Solo?

While experienced trekkers may choose to go solo, hiring a guide is advisable for those unfamiliar with the terrain. A guide can provide valuable insights, ensure your safety, and enhance your trekking experience.

Conclusion

Whether you choose the Everest Base Camp Trek or the more challenging Everest Three High Passes Trek, both promise an unforgettable adventure. With stunning landscapes, rich cultural experiences, and the thrill of high-altitude trekking, these journeys are a must for every adventure seeker.

How to Plan a Roadtrip to Downtown Knoxville?

Visiting downtown Knoxville by road? There are several things to consider when planning your upcoming roadtrip. You should first book hotels in Downtown Knoxville before you proceed with planning the trip. Planning the trip can be challenging if you don’t know how to proceed. We have identified the tips that can help with planning. 1. Plan as soon as you are sure you are going to visit the Downtown in your car. This would help you identify the itinerary, know the exact number of days on the road, and create the checklist for the road. Delaying the planning by even a day will put you in the spot as you need to ensure you don’t get panicked while planning. The planning will involve finding the way to go on a roadtrip, places to book your vehicle, getting the most affordable road transport and other factors. 2. Route planning is equally important when you proceed with planning the road trip. You might want to choose the ideal route where you can spend a lot of time looking around and getting a glimpse of Tennessee. You don’t want to just explore downtown and come back. You might want to see the places that come in between. That’s why once you have booked the best hotel Knoxville Downtown Island Airport, you might want to check if you know which is the ideal route for the hotel. Do you want to take the highway connecting the places or would you like to choose a interstate road that also takes you through other tourist places? 3. You should check, at this point, how many people would be taking the roadtrip to Downtown Knoxville. If you are traveling as a family with kids, you might want to choose a bigger vehicle that can accommodate the kids. You might want an RV that would fit in everyone easily. however, if you are traveling as a couple or going on a solo roadtrip, your choice of vehicle would differ. Make sure to choose the right vehicle for the roadtrip 4. While planning the vehicle for the roadtrip, you might also want to consider the gas required and the budget for the entire trip. You might want to check if there are gas stations along the chosen route and what would be the approximate time till the next fill? While you are checking for gas, you should also check the vehicle for faults and issues. It is a great idea to put it off your checklist and ensure you are ready to go on the road. 5. When traveling by road, you should ensure you have enough apps to help you with the stops, halts, food stops and other requirements. along with booking hotels in Downtown Knoxville, you should also try to find an app for all your needs including music. this planning might come handy when you are traveling to Knoxville and staying at all the possible places along the route. If you are planning to camp with your RV, you might want to locate an app that would find a camp for you. 6. Make sure you have planned for the stops along the route. You need to ensure you have enough time and space for all the stops. Lastly, make sure to book the best hotel Knoxville Downtown Island Airport so that you have a comfortable space waiting for you at the end of the trip.

i was too shy to ask for more than one so 17 as well if you'd like !!! 🌸

Thank you for this question and your other!! I love answering them :)

17) Talk to me about the minutiae of your current WIP. Tell me about the lore, the history, the detail, the things that won't make it into the text.

This is a perfect question to answer before trying to wrap up my WIP!! But I'm gonna put it behind a cut bc it's publishing in a week and some people don't love a spoiler, which I guess this will be full of!

My current WIP is labeled "filth" but I've been calling it the cabin fic. I believe the initial idea came to me when, during Covid lockdown, Harry went out dirtbiking with Rande Gerber. I made a joke with a friend (Jen) about Harry probably getting daddy vibes from him and enjoying a flirtatious dynamic along those lines. At one point I think I spun out a little plot about them hooking up while camping in rural Canada, so the thought was there but I hadn't really done much with it.

BUT THEN!!!

There was a new season of RHOBH and a photoshoot with Lisa Rinna and her husband, Harry Hamlin, where they were truly just putting out the MOST lez-ish vibes imaginable to me, and I fell down a little hole of thinking of Harry Hamlin as a dreamy soft butch. I believe it was also during that season that we learned that Harry gets acrylic nails on one hand so that he can play guitar. AND Lisa shared a pic from the Gerber Halloween party.

It is well known that Harry Hamlin frequently goes to Canada to solo camp in the woods, like absolute outdoorsman shit, but my brain said OH HO HO

what if...Harry Hamlin and Rande Gerber go off to the Canadian woods to fuck and feast for a few weeks each year, getting away from their beloved wives in a very consensual open relationship sort of way? And WHAT IF Rande invited young Harry along? AND?? WHAT IF???

So basically the plot of this fic-- a PWP, which is something I'm typically very uncomfortable writing, hence this fic has sat partially written for YEARS --is that Harry has a fantasy of being involved in a threesome with Rande and Harry Hamlin, the details of which he's discussed with Louis. Louis decides to take a shot at making the fantasy come true, and everyone is game so it happens.

When I say Harry's discussed the details of his fantasy, I actually mean that Louis has pulled it out of him, teased him with it, and turned it into such a thing for Harry that it's basically a trigger to turn him on. Louis is absolutely Harry's Daddy in this scenario (though to be clear they are sexually verse) and as such he's done a lot of groundwork behind the scenes to get everyone up to speed on what can go down in the scene.

When Harry calls him with the excited play-by-play the next day, Louis is literally ticking off a mental checklist that will determine how he feels about future sexual encounters between Harry and Rande/Harry Hamlin. It's certainly not covered in the fic, but they hit most of the boxes and both Harry and Louis are eager for the three way adventures to continue.

OH, also for the first time ever I felt like I needed to do actual porn research in order to write one of the sex acts in the fic, so that was really new for me. Also it felt SO silly going to look up porn for something that, while interesting generally, doesn't actually feel particularly hot to me. Hopefully it's hot to a reader, though, because. Well. I'm writing it!

I HAVE SAID SO MUCH but the question was about minutiae and that's what I gave!! Now I'm ready to dive back into writing (and hopefully finishing) this fic!!

Solo Camping Tips and Checklist: Camp like a Pro

Solo camping is a quality time that you can gift to yourself. It will help you to gather your thoughts and enjoy the tranquility of nature at the same time.

As you will be camping by yourself in the inhospitable region, it can get very demanding. Solo camping requires more planning than any other type of camping since you have to do all the work alone.

We have tried to help you with your solo camping trip by putting together all the solo camping tips, and checklist since even the most seasoned camper forgets essentials from time to time.

Old Stomping Ground

[Ava Starr X Female Reader]

Summary: One of the good things to come out of constant alien invasions are the abandoned ruins of New York, and you’re fixing to show Ava your favorite place. Previous Masterlist Next

Tag(s): 13+ | can be reader gender and race neutral reader but is written with woc readers in mind, no-snap au, post-Ant Man and the Wasp, Ava and reader on an adventure in post Avenger's New York, homelessness, alien trees and the power of community.

AN: no-snap au, post-Ant Man and the Wasp. No beta, we die like men. Just you and Ava having a short adventure.

You took three days off of work for this one. Packed two backpacks with food, water, clothes, and other supplies. Bedrolls and bug spray and hiking poles. Ava laughed at your enthusiasm but she seemed to vibrate with excitement right along with you. 

"Can you at least tell me where we're going," she pleaded. 

You ran through the end of the checklist for the third time, trying to be extra careful now that you wouldn't be hoofing it solo. You dodged the question expertly with a "it's not far and it's not dangerous so hush! Learn to enjoy the mystery, babe." 

Ava rolled her eyes playfully but stopped asking and let you finish. After that you ate a hearty breakfast and began your journey north by northwest. In the taxi, your girlfriend's eyes darted from building to building as you turned on every street and you mentally gave up on scolding her. She was too pragmatic to allow for that level of trust yet. 

You were surprised that it took her until you passed the ruins of the daycare you once attended that she whipped her head around to whisper, "is this… Leviathan alley?" 

You shush her but can't keep the excited grin from your face. "It's a bit more than just an alley." 

Once SHIELD was finished stripping for parts and gutting the cybernetically enhanced alien creature left behind in the Battle of New York, the rest was abandoned. The city's been planning to clean up and rebuild but there are scores in the earth where the leviathan crashed and crumbling, precarious buildings that need to be brought down first in the safest way possible. While the city’s been debating how to deal with the destruction, the poor and destitute had moved in and discovered the blood of the chitauri has some very interesting properties. 

"It's like it changes the property of concrete," you explained, climbing over rubble and reaching back to pull her up, "uhg– breaks it down into some kind of hyper fertilizer. There's this copse of trees growing where we think the stomach was and I think in its natural habitat, the creature was probably an omnivore of sorts and may have swallowed thousands of seeds–" 

"That's all very fascinating dear, could you please take this?" Ava shoves a canteen into your hands and cups your hands to bring it closer to your mouth. You've climbed for what feels like miles and hey, you are pretty parched. "Think we'd better rest and eat, maybe look for a safe place to set up camp and… oh, look over there!" 

Ava's sudden whisper makes you turn. It's green in that direction, though this 'alley' is shrouded in darkness due to the dome made from the spine and ribs of the leviathan, the sprigs seem to grow just fine, becoming taller as they moved farther away from you until they began to develop woody stalks and trunks. 

"That's the forest you were talking about," Ava whispered in awe. “I wanna get a closer look.” 

You gently caught her arm. “Camp first, eat. It’ll still be here tomorrow.” 

~ 

Ava didn’t expect you to take her into an encampment. There were two dozen people in tents, an open grill going and laughter. They seemed to recognize you. It was mostly older adults, a few elderly people wrapped in thick blankets and teens walking around asking anyone needed drinks. You grabbed the blanket from your pack and wrapped Ava in it as soon as she found a seat on a slab of concrete. 

"Comfy?" 

Ava smiled up at you, taking the proffered fruit slice from you. "Very." 

She examined the strange fruit. It had a thin violet skin with a spongy white inner layer and pink juice with black seeds  dripping from it. She leabed over your shoulder get a look at the fruit as a whole, and it seemed the pink goop was loose inside the fruit similar to a coconut. 

"Are these from the trees," she asked. 

"Yeah, they're edible don't worry. No side effects we've seen," you assure. 

Ava nods but as she's licking the tangy pink juice you continue, "well except for Nadia but she's a mutant." 

Ava flicks worried green eyes at you and slowly takes the fruit from her mouth. She's already swallowed on reflex so there's no turning back now, only managing whatever weird things would come next. 

"Uh… what do you mean by that?" 

You blink at Ava. "Oh it's not, like, bad or anything. Right, Nadia?" 

A dark skinned girl in an orange beanie looked up from her phone. "What?" 

"Tauri makes you, what, gassy?" 

The man on the grill threw his head back in a laugh and Nadia kicked a rock at you. "Ha hah, you're everybody's favorite clown in the circus. It doesn't make me gassy, you jerk, it makes me smell like roses actually." 

"Oh," Ava said, "that's all?" 

You and Nadia shared a knowing look. "It's strong. Not overpowering but strong like you've got your nose buried in a whole bouquet of them." 

"And your fingers tingle and you make sparkles– " 

"Nadia I think that's just you, baby!" 

People laughed and the conversation died down. Ava let the slip of tauri fruit linger in her grasp until you gently pried it out and ate it yourself. You were side eyeing her but kept your question to yourself and eventually Ava was able to relax. She fell asleep during Nadia's uncle Rodney's story with her head on your shoulder and dreamed of violet things. Violet dresses, violet paint, violet fires, and violet sprigs. 

All you could dream of was the smell of roses so close and so thick you could touch it. 

~

The walk through the natural path as the trees got thicker finally prompted Ava to ask the question that's been plaguing her. "How do you know them? Are they family?" 

You cast a quick glance over your shoulder and slowed your pace to match hers as your fingers tapped the straps of your backpack nervously. "Sort of. They were family when I had no home to go to. Then I got a job with enough money and a stupid good deal on my apartment because I had no priors. 

"Rodney and Jules and some of the others prefer it out here with the forest. Some of them have nowhere else to go or no way to take care of themselves. Nadia's been kicked out of every home she's ever been to, but she won't go to that gifted school for mutants in Westchester county. Can't say I blame her either." 

"School for mutants, eh," Ava said as she trudged on, "interesting." 

You walked along in silence, drinking in the inviting quiet of the forest and the tiny chirps and peeps of its new inhabitants. You'd almost say it would be a shame to tear this place down knowing it's a new natural habitat, but you know New York had a hundred bigger and more pressing issues to deal with right now. As long as any capitalist moguls kept their eyes elsewhere, the new jungle should be fine. 

As the forest becomes denser, you have to pull a rechargeable flashlight out to see the ground beneath you. Black bugs crawl under and over the brush and fallen twigs, and something no bigger than a cat scuttles away out of the path of the light. Ava puts a hand on your arm and you open your mouth to assure her you'd protect her, but as you look at her you realize she's ready to protect you. Arm poised out and eyes darting around for signs of sudden movement from the brush. 

You walk in silence for what feels like an fantastic eternity but when you look at the canopy you stop yourself. Ava looks up to, gently taking a hold of your hand to keep you close and it sends tingles up your arm. She rarely reaches for you but she seems to be growing more and more confident of it. 

Light dances beyond the thicket of the leaves. Green and gold flashes as a soft breeze creates gaps beyond the chitauri rib ceiling and every time a light flashes you feel warmth on your skin like soft little kisses. 

Something wooden creaks, and that creaking quickly turns to snapping. You unconsciously squeeze Ava's fingers as you spot a black tree trunk beginning to fall towards you. Suddenly, Ava's arms are around you and she pulls you down into a duck. 

Everything happens so fast it blinds you. You can't see, can only feel as shivers of warmth and cold jitter through your entire being, drowning you into sensations you've never felt before. It makes you feel fear more than anything. Is this how you die? Cowering? 

When the sounds of falling trees stop, there is only the wind and the rush of Ava's windbreaker against yours. You test your fingers to see if they still work and dig them into her back. Nothing broken, you're still standing if gravity is correct. 

She finally lets you lift your head from her embrace and survey the scene. That tree opened a spot in the canopy for more natural light to pour in which is good because your flashlight was lost among the thick bramble bushes. 

Ava brushes your forehead. "Are you OK?" 

It must be a trick of the light but she looks like she's shimmering. Perhaps you hit your head or something but it seems like you never fell. Your standing just beside the fallen tree but you could have sworn you'd almost felt it go through you. And then…

And then there was the smell of roses. 

"I'm fine," you say at last. "Let's get back, probably shouldn't have come here by ourselves anyways…" 

Ava gives you a look, it almost looks like trepidation. You steel your resolve and press on to retrace your steps, knowing you had a lot of walking to do before you would exit the treeline. 

Ava has powers and you're ok with that. You'll just let her tell you in her own time.
