    Tips for long distance kayaking

    All the stuff im seeing, Mississippi river is definitely not a good option. There's plenty other places. I use a seat cushion when I kayak. Stop for breaks every so often and break the monotony of sitting. The cushion helps a bbunch even though it's just a cheap padding I took off my old...

    Walking across lake Erie

    This would be the year to do it. This year is supposed to be the worst(best) winter in years. I don't like ice cuz it's slippery, but they have shoe things I've used before once.

    Where ya be at? I'm willing to take another with me as long as your brain is good and your feet work. No warrants preferably, but that's all on you. You're about to change your life. After leaving it'll be different when you return to society. I know some good places and I'm pretty smart.
