@Hand Banana There's a guy up in Canada I watch who goes camping in -30 with like a sleeping bag, a tarp, and an axe. The more experience you have, the easier it is to get away with taking less gear. Tent stakes, for example are a few grams to maybe an ounce. That's like nothing, but ounces equal pounds, pounds equal pain especially for something so completely unnecessary as a tent stake (though tents in general aren't exactly necessary either). You can carve them out of a stick, or make a duff button, or a bunch of other stuff

Couple that with 1000mg of a magnesium supplement

Your body can only process 1,000 mg at a time

Correct.

Any more is overkill

Potentially bad

There is no evidence to support that

I wouldn't say bad, just useless

Ah

You'll piss out the extra

If you're talking about vd

Ok cool

I piss a lot

Drink lots and lots of water

water is good

Yeah man I go often. Water has been good to me.

@FashyGoy1488 10,000IU is what is used to treat inflammatory conditions or chronic vitamin D deficiency

Pissing out the toxins

It is usually standard protocol for dealing with a shortage, and there has never been shown any bad effects

Nice

It is what I recommend my inflamed patients to take

I saw vitamin b everywhere

Never saw anyone suggest d

Where did you see that?

Medical School

I just take it in my multivitamin

I wouldn't recommend a beginner try to do bushcraft or ultralight though

@FashyGoy1488 Multivitamins are great for maintenance, but If you have symptoms, superdosing on specific vitamins is better.

Right

And you my friend seem to have symptoms

I take extra b, l Theanine, and GABa

Up north, vitamin D is a pretty big deal in winter. I had to take 50k IU for like 12 weeks to catch back up to a good level

On top of the multi

Kelp too

@FashyGoy1488 excellent. Vitamin D should help with the withdrawal symptoms from the Xanax

Thanks man

I’m gonna go take some rq

You could also try St John's Wort, which is a natural mood stabilizer, but it is more of a natural drug than a supplement.

I take it sometimes when patients get to me.

I had the dream of one day growing herbal medicines in the ethnostate. So these things interest me.

I heard that’s good stuff never tried
