    Carnivore Diet

    https://rokslide.com/forums/threads/carnivore-diet.183833/ There's a long thread in the Fitness forum. It's a fad diet based mostly on health myths and speculation...but like most fads, there are occasional grains of truth and celebrity endorsements. I'd strongly recommend considering other...

    Is the SO DST Tarp outdated?

    +1. Cooke Custom Sewing makes probably the best quality, most versatile tarp there is. The guy who runs the company, Dan, is a legit outdoorsman with scores of snowshoe and canoe expeditions under his belt. Their tundra tarp has a ton of guyouts, a center patch, and is also crisscrossed with...

    Carnivore Diet

    Nutrition is pretty cool this way. Testosterone levels, and those of many other hormones, fluctuate due to all sorts of responses. In fact, just eating a big meal can temporarily cause your testosterone levels to fall by as much as 30%. (Don't worry, it climbs back to baseline in 4-6 hours.)...

    Carnivore Diet

    It's a good question. The quickest way I can think of explaining it is this: The common view of fat is that it's an inert substance whose job is to store energy. However, that's only part of the story. Fat/adipose tissue has properties that enable it to act like an endocrine organ (even if it...

    True North or Magnetic North?

    That is super cool. Love hearing stories like this.

    Carnivore Diet

    I agree with you 100% on processed food. And on the difficulty presented by the lack of large sample sizes. (A challenge that impacts a lot of health studies.) Most diets have some sort of elimination factor. With carnivore, my clinical and scientific objections are with cutting out important...

    True North or Magnetic North?

    They do, but declination also shifts over time so it's often out of date. There are websites with the current values like https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/geomag/calculators/magcalc.shtml and https://www.magnetic-declination.com/ According to them, Campbell, KY is now 6.6 degrees west. I like trying...

    Carnivore Diet

    It's not even a controversy. Look at literally any archaeological record at all and you will find ample, overwhelming evidence of plant-based diets. Read the genetic analysis of the intestinal contents of well-preserved prehistoric bodies (like Otzi the Iceman) and you will find they ate...

    Carnivore Diet

    What might be better than diving right into Carnivore? First, give up all of the food that are the product of our post WWII industrial capacity and that were introduced into our food systems before we knew they were bad for us. For two to four weeks, try: No Doritos, flamin hot cheetos, chips...

    Carnivore Diet

    Here's the thing. Nutrition is complex and human psychology even more so. That makes it really easy to embrace conspiracy theories and wacky diet ideas. Heck, back in 2015 millions of people fell for the chocolate diet--a hoax diet meant to uncover how easy it is to pass sham research into open...

    Carnivore Diet

    What lies have I bought into? Bonus points for actual peer-reviewed literature in reputable journals as opposed to high-budget influencer videos.

    Carnivore Diet

    Really with the carnivore diet? Next will it be a Tide Pod challenge? If you're feeling better on the carnivore diet, it's only a sign that the nutrition plan you left it for was a sad, sad piece of dogs**t. It's like a crack addict switching to cocaine because cocaine is, like, soooo much...

    Taxes

    Was a painful year. But I guess my taxes paid for the roads that allowed me to drive to the post office so I could mail in my taxes?

    Camper

    We've found this to be true with our toddler. Plus it frees up the hitch for our boat. But for all that's great about it, yeah, we can't hit up hardside-only areas like the OP is after.

    Future

    I think the dirty secret is that on the whole, we as Americans enjoy more prosperity, more affordable goods and services, and better trade relations (which also have the effect of stabilizing geopolitical tensions) when we go offshore. Marx hated industrialization and wanted everything to be...

    Future

    @ChrisS, good quote. People have been talking about the downfall of civilization--and the decline of the younger generation--since before Socrates. Ironically, today, many of them are around to complain because those younger generations cured their cancers, engineered the safety features in...

    I bought the wrong WM bag

    Bummer. Out of curiosity, are we talking about the GWS Badger (down) or microfiber Badger? Adding more ground insulation makes an enormous difference no matter what rating your bag has. Also, next trip, you could always try adding extra clothes, whatever inside your bag, just to take up that...

    New Arctic Oven: the Nunatak Apex

    @sneaky, yeah, would love to see more specs. Insofar as price goes, it depends on your point of comparison. A comparable SO 8p hot tent combo (door screens, carbon pole, full liner, ti stove, no floor) will run you $2200. A SO 12p combo with full liner comes out at $2400 (no carbon pole...
