Surly official camping and backpacking thread
You're heart is in the right place. But most of us are only spend time in our tents to sleep or change clothes. The answer to the question seems to be 4 people unless you are leaving out the Misses or a girlfriend, So 4 or 5, plus occasionally the kids are going to want to bring friends. The suggestion of multiple tents was a great one. The larger and cheaper the tent, the more suspect it's performance will be in the rain or the cold. ACTIVITIES. Being creative about things to do will be your key: hiking, crafts, singing, board games, nearby attractions, the biggest fire. Boredom and arguing is what is going to kill this, not your shopping choices.

2024 Solar Eclipse - never too early to get ready
I was on top of a bluff in the Sawtooth Mountains near Stanley, ID. It was one of the wildest things I've ever done. Somehow a man all the way from Japan found the same exact place, a few others too. Everything gets eerie and quiet, the shadow races across the mountains and the valley. I'm sure it's highly weather dependent. You can make all of these plans and it be a rainy or overcast day. I didn't attempt to photograph or record the event.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2023: Strippers, Monkeys, and 5-Stars
I'm a pro-labor guy, but even for a throw away event, first fight contractual fighters in the UFC make something like $12,000 to show, additional $12,000 for a win, and potentially a $50,000 performance bonus. 'Boxing' doesn't pay that. Carry on.

One man won the fight, the other man won more rounds with length and great striking, and of course ground control.

The Chalet’s are separately booked from the lottery, and probably book up earlier. You can ride horses up to the rebuilt Sperry Chalet. If they also would haul your gear that would make Sperry to anywhere so easy, even for olds and kids.

Holy F a direct flight from DFW to Jackson Hole, Wyoming was $810. It was cheaper to fly out of Austin and stop in DFW. Flight is on Alabama gameday. The lottery for Glacier National Park Wilderness permits will be taking place in March. I cannot recommend it enough. I posted about it last year in the wrong-ish forum looking for help. An annual September trip kind of warps my weather perception of places, but I would consider retiring there and day hiking for health. https://www.nps.gov/glac/planyourvisit/backcountry-reservations.htm https://www.surlyhorns.com/board/topic/24459-glacier-national-park-what-state-is-it-in/#comment-4959935

That was a very strong hip to take him down so easily. Would've have been hilarious for him to call out in animated bad English "...Chimaev".

That was some fucked up commentary. Openly raising their voices aimed at the referee to stop the fight. That crosses some major lines. While brutally ugly, Murphy is obviously intelligently defending herself, albeit terribly. She wasn't knocked down once, or out on her feet. It's just her facial appearance. Leave it up to the ref. Leave it up to the corner. Leave it up to the fighter. That was crossing a line.

So do you guys think Jiří Procházka ‘retired’/vacated the belt to get out of the USADA testing while healing an injury?
-
2021 UFC/MMA thread
Not related, but I was surprised to learn that Jiu Jitsu competition allows performance enhancing drugs like steroids. Is this more or less true? Should it matter? UFC on the other hand has become a highly restrictive competition space with USADA testing. There's some insane story about Jiří Procházka being tested 64 times in 2022. Next highest was Paulo Costa at 20. And I assume they are tested post fight still.

Me too, 250 to 91 is in the realm of clearance closeout possibilities, but I didn't browse the website. I only looked at their mission statement and return policy. (1st clue, the back end wouldn't process without out a few attempts and no order number. Fortunately received a junk email order from a company by another name with a .xyz domain. Credit card had another named company in Hong Kong. When I went to move the order email to my inbox I noticed the real address had a .RU domain.) All in all wasted 30 minutes of my morning, and I've been meaning to get a new card and card number for a while now. Valuable lesson learned.
