"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

without the weapons, ammo, accessories and concealable armor, which 20 lbs, the rest of the pack list comes to 30 lbs. Just the pack, harness, frame and hydration bladder total 5 lbs. The water, spare canteen, canteen cup, "potable-aqua" tablets and 2 Life Straws total 8 lbs. fire starting materials run slightly less than 1 lb, to include the "can-candle".

Tools total 3 lbs, spare clothing (longjohns, ski mask, ski gloves, 3 spare pair of socks) totals 2 lbs. I do not count the clothes, cap, socks and shoes that I stand in as part of the weight of the "kit", since I have wear SOMETHING, it's not "extra".
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

there's 3-4lbs of things that come in really handy, are very lw,compact,and are very difficult or impossible to make in the field, but which fall under no specific heading, so I put them under 'miscellaneous'

Wouldn't it be easier to just move to whatever place you think you would run to? That's why I live on a farm next to a wildlife refuge.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Why dont you just prepare 3 classes of kits and sell them ready to use on your site? not all the people has the ability to prepare such equipment.

Also I would suggest a couple of those "high quality fake passports" you were selling last weeks, one for any of the two fighting factions in case you get captured.

It may also be useful to have one of those aluminium hats to protect you from mind reading and mind control from the government.

Btw which one is the compound which is driving you paranoid?
Im running epi at 40mg daily and except some increased aggressiveness cant even dream of such level of paranoia.
