i vote for this shot. its a unique one, and considering crystal lake just opened up its good timing

law and order LA are finding a big mari juana plantation, guarded by a guy in a BLUE TARP. I'm having flashbacks to monrovia peak. whatever happened to that guy in the blue tarp??!!

oh yeah took this from a plane, stupid wing is in the way

not really suitable but nice spring memories :) https://eispiraten.com/images-archived/lh6.googleusercontent.com/_PtT5htZQg1E/SeFWTucOtCI/AAAAAAAAGKk/HoW0uIHOngg/s640/IMG_4274.JPG https://eispiraten.com/images-archived/lh4.googleusercontent.com/_vXi56FR65aY/SgZc52_yElI/AAAAAAAAAYU/IZuPd-NCk_k/s640/I...

usuallly I don't trust redheads. Hopefully this isn't a scam

your avatar is killing me :lol: 2005 civic. silver. probably the most boring car you could have (but 40 mpg highway makes up for it :) i enjoy doing fixing stuff, but it's not had anything to fix yet! but i don't care about keeping it clean. i haven't washed it in years! https://eispiraten.com/image...

yes I agree when you are mostly aerobic (like long hikes), then the glycogen disparity issue isn't as large. I mention only, like in the blog, that people sometimes tend to start out way too fast, and there is a significant cost to that. as for the mile record, glycogen is mostly stored well in adva...

if one goes at a pace of 70% their max HR for 5 hours... and another person goes at a pace of 85% of their max HR for 3 hours... is it reasonable to think that the the second person may need to eat more, citing their likely depleted glycogen stores? In my own experience, I've found this to be the p...

Is being glycogen depleted what makes the big muscles in my legs/thighs feel week on long uphills? i dont feel hungry, but my legs do! lol -so if i eat, even just a lil, then my muscles feel happier more or less, yes. there could be other reasons for fatigue, but glycogen depletion is a biggie. eve...

yeah I don't even eat anything when I hike. I find if I'm not glycogen depleted, I don't feel the need or hunger too, and will summit before breaking out any snacks.

Only time I would ever care about supplementation if it was a 'race'. Otherwise my conditioning alone is good enough.

(GU) It's the stuff dreams are made of. Hammer Gel>>>>>>> Gu Gu sucks. Gu has caffeine (some do) which dehydrates. Gu is gross. Hammer is good tasting. Hammer is made up of puree. Hammer is wonderful. actually they've shown that caffeine does not dehydrate you. but it depends on context. I think th...

you should see these ostrich's that I was feeding. they're freaking aggressive. I wonder if they cheat and use coffee or cocaine to improve their reaction time to food display. Joe, where in the hell are you? i'm in Colombia with angry ostriches! https://eispiraten.com/images-archived/lh3.googleuse...

i was forced to chew on coca leaves and drink coffee today. i was ready to blitz up a mountain.

oh and I guess sodium bicarbonate could help buffer blood acidity, but not sure how well that works hour + endurance activity. never tried. Matt, why don't you try and tell us?

they do, and when I went, I drank lots of coffee, smoked some ganja, broke a chess board and stomped on a bible. but I didn't injure my ankle running away from the boogeyman like a sissy

what timing. I'm on the hunt in Colombia right now.... :lol: more seriously caffeine, at the very least, reduces the rate of perceived exertion (less pain at certain pace, or go faster) long hikes, you could intake a few hundred calories of fast acting carbohydrates per hour into blood (like GU, gat...

it was nice resting at fish fork on an old sleeping bag while you guys were up there dealing with hell!

that dude pitownpi did some summer scramble between mill creek JO and middle fork JO (and saw 3 mountain lions). Dont' know if he has a TR anywhere though

speaking of delusions of grandeur

Today, with the United States the only standing superpower,

depends on how you define it....I guess I would think of "which places would take longest to get to" from leaving the car. then I look over the map and starting looking at where places are in relation to the nearest roads and considering all the possible routes. Its such a big area and the...

as a basic approximation, think about the % change in total weight (bodyweight + backpack weight), and use that as an estimate in the change in calories burned, as well as a change in speed. Let's say its a 3% change. A 3% increase of a 4 hr ascent is ~ 7 min. Is that 7 min worth dropping 5 lbs of s...

what a farking joke

I dont know how many questions I get before I wear out my welcome here, but... Does anyone know what fire damage is like in the area? Are many portions of this trail from Cloudburst to Vincent Gap badly burned? I'm pretty sure the east of that it should be clear. I'm probably going down vincent gul...

think so. I can attest to the pain inflicted going up those switchbacks to Manker via bicycle. but not sure how "road vehicles" wouldn't make it up??

definitely was a former member of this forum

from what I could tell, there wasn't any closed sign for the Rim trail at its end on top of Mt Wilson.
