Lol ty and ya, it had been years since I had done it, so I didn’t remember that well, and I was musing the exact same thing out loud: “is this a hike or is this a climb?”

A random hiker there almost had a tarantula hawk wasp land on them and I mentioned to them that, while they are supposedly very passive for a wasp, the tarantula hawk actually has one of the top 3 most painful stings in the entire world. That got that group to pay a bit more attention to it [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I also had my giant arm wound open because it wasn’t scabbing after being bandaged for two days so I figure keep it open to air and it will. Bad idea for a number of reasons: 1. It remained gooey all day and night (and still is) 2. It got scraped by both sticker plants and rocks as I was climbing and 3. I had about 3 different groups of people express concern and ask if I was ok after noticing it

The first time I had honestly forgotten about it so when they asked if I was ok my first thought was to be offended thinking like “do I look fucking tired to you? Do you see my cousin is the one huddled in the shade panting and I’m standing here getting sun on my bald head waiting for him looking bored? Of course I’m ok!”

Then my cousin said “oh that’s not from this trip” pointing to my arm. And I was like “oh shit yea sorry I’m fine this is actually 2 days old” lol

About a year or so ago I started doing acrobatic yoga. My girlfriends been doing it for years and finally convinced me to start. It's been pretty fun - a nice way to meet new people and an interesting way to apply skills like strength, balance, and momentum. I actually now look forward to leg days at the gym as I try to improve my basing ability.

This last week I was at the Dutch Acro Yoga Festival, where people and teachers from all over the world came together for a week. There were some serious acrobats there, like professional circus level performers. Had a great time and learned a bunch.

Yoga is pretty tough even without acrobatics. For sure any skilled acrobat, just like any skilled gymnast, are going to be pound for pound some of the strongest people around

I always wanted to be able to do the “flag” move where you hold a flag pole with each hand and stretch and hold your body horizontal like a human flag. But I should settle for just trying for a muscle up on a pull up bar first lol

Although he was telegraphing pretty bad, that is a back roundhouse into a back roundhouse. I had never seen that done before in my time time doing TKD

I had done many a double back roundhouse. But mine would be a gimp, badly timed first one as je-bait. Then when they rush in confidently towards my exposed back, I’d whip into another much faster one to their face (same leg though). Other kids would fall for it every time

Not a very big tiger compared to the goose. I think tigers get a lot bigger than that one.

True, but might still not have mattered. The best defense a goose or even us have against something we have zero chance against is if we’re the first of our species it’s ever seen, it has no idea what we are capable of (or not capable of). So it’s our best and only chance to scare it off

On December 22nd 1968 after completing their mission team 1C3 was waiting to be heli-lifted from the area. Bad weather conditions had prevented immediate pickup and the team had posted a two man radio watch while the others settled in to get some shuteye.

The tiger struck silently and swiftly. It had jumped onto and was attacking Sgt. Goolden. It then jumped into a bomb crater still holding Sgt. Goolden. The rest of the team pursued the tiger to the crater where they opened fire and killed it. Sgt. Goolden then staggered out of the crater and was given first aid treatment and a medical evacuation helicopter was called for. Shortly thereafter a Marine CH-46 picked up Sgt. Goolden, the rest of the team and the dead tiger. Sgt. Goolden was taken to 3rd Medical BN. hospital suffering lacerations and bites on the neck.

The team and tiger went to 3rd Recon Bn. Hdqtrs. where the tiger was placed on display from a 10ft. scaffold outside of Charlie Company’s administration office. It measured 9 feet and weighed 400 pounds. MajGen. Raymond G. Davis, Commanding General, 3rd Marine Division, and Assistant Division Commander, BrigGen. Robert B. Carney, Jr., examined the huge beast and congratulated Team 1C3 for killing the animal.

These are the photos of when they got to base.
