Feels like Idiocracy was a documentary.
I can second the Sport Legs recommendation, it kills the burn/cramps in my legs when I race my mountain bike but unfortunately for me it replaces the leg cramps with stomach cramps.
Torpedomen go tjeir whole careers without shooting a live round, those guys are over the moon right now.
When I wash and dry my down quilt and jacket after a hiking trip the dryer balls fluff the down back up so. So it's rare that they are actually useful, but they are not useless.

My gym is upstairs so I wanted something to spread the weight around and sound deadening. Works pretty well.

I put in a gym in an upstairs bedroom when my son moved out. I put outdoor carpet over the existing carpet, then used 4 sheets of 3/8" plywood to make an 8x8 platform, alternating direction between layers and topped that with rubber stall mat from Tractor Supply. Put my squat rack on that. Do deadlifts without worrying about dropping weights thru the floor. I do use bumper plates for the deadlifts.

This is a good budget tent, true 2 adult person tent that won't break your back or the bank.

I love my 1Up but they have priced themselves out of the market. My new fav is Velocirax but they only make a 3-6. Splurge for the 3: Velocirax

I may look at that rack, looks like it would be good for my Sprinter.

I've been pretty close to my antipode in a a submarine once.
Sauna does elevate the heart rate, similar to, but not as high as, cardio. I can get my HR up to 130 or so. It also dilates the blood vessels which feels like it helps with recovery.

I set up a hiking activity that I named "Rucking" on my Fenix 6, keeps track of everything like a hike instead of a walk. My biggest pet peeve with Garmin is that hiking does not count as a walking activity. Makes zero sense.

Africatown bridge is where it’s at.

As a teenager between college and the Navy I worked as an ironworker on that bridge, hence I don't drive over it.
I can also recommend The Further Shuttle in that area.
I plan on doing 2 weeks in September picking back up at Damascus. Finished the Georgia trail section of the Pinhoti last week, about 120 miles in 7 days.
So we're back to using genetics to determine gender?
