Q: Boy Scouts buying a camping backpack which is better, an internal or external frame?
Selection for youth seems to be mostly be internal packs.
But I’ve read external frame is better for trail hiking, which is mostly what scouts do.

A: IMHO external frames are better for most uses. internal frames were developed for climbing and traveling. they make pretty fair luggage and go through baggage handling a lot easier. thay may be better for boating also. for trails the outside frame is better. it rides better, is cooler to wear, allows you more options in packing, carries the same load easier, and is more adjustable. finally there are several low priced outside frame rigs that will work fairly well for those not born rich, never seen a decent internal frame rig worth carrying under a $100 and most are over that. internal frames are a compromise between good carrying and non interference with climbing or in tight places. external frames can be designed for the best carry without any limits.

Q: Public Showers and Laundry in Scotland?
I’m planning on going to scotland next summer. I’m going to be staying in youth hostels, and wild camping most of the time. as I will be backpacking most the time. I will be mostly in the Highlands and central Scotland. I was wondering if there are places to do laundry and get showers. I don’t mind paying for showers. And expect it for laundry.
Any help would be great!
Thanks
I wouldn’t mind taking “Showers” in Lochs and rivers, but my sister would. :)

A: There probably isn’t many Laundry facilities because most people own a washing machine. There are dry cleaners though but it’s not that common to see one.

As for showers, I don’t know much either. There will be plenty of rain and lochs, and that would be free…
I really don’t know.

Sorry it isn’t much help. Good luck!

Q: Backpacking for korea?
I’m going on a 20-day youth camp to Korea(don’t know which korea yet), leaving in more or less a month from today.

I was wondering if anyone had anything they could share – things I should know (the currency especially, the prices of commodities there),should and shouldn’t do/say,etc.

i’d really appreciate it…

A: Firstly, it’s probably South Korea. North Korea is closed off to most foreign visitors and I doubt they have youth camps there…

The currency is in wons. The current exchange rate is around 1100 won per U.S. dollar. If you see an item priced 10,000 won, that means roughly around $10. Just take off the extra three zeros.

It’s hard to explain absolutely everything, so I’ll just give you a site that I found.

Hope that helps!

Q: God feels so far to me right now?
i went to a bible camp for youth and there was a phenomenal speaker who had the most outrageously sensible ideas on radically changing things in your life and how we should fight against whats wrong… after that camp my faith was so strong it could not be wavered one bit… after camp i went home and tried to re-create the lessons that the speaker had given us and that drastically changed the way she talks even now and i got my sister (completely against christianity) to pry with me… i moved out of that house a couple days later to live with my other relative which is where i live now… my relative and i don’t get along well and have a lot of serious problems. Mostly that he cant understand that he is egging on my depression of leaving home. i dunno what started it but somewhere along the road i started spiraling down slowly but surely … i stated cussing once more, i don’t even realize it when im being mean to people and i continues to do bad things against the will of god… that’s not how i want to live my life. I want to have that happiness i had when i was so strong in faith but out here there is no church that is right for me and I just cant seem to be able to take time to read the bible often enough or pray at night… my plan for when i started school was that i was gonna walk in the front doos and yell something like “I AM A JESUS FREAK AND I LOVE IT!!!” while holding up my bible in the air… i brought my bible on the first day of school but kept in my backpack. i told myself that was only because i didnt want to lose it, but really i was just lying to myself because i didnt want to be embarassed by getting into an argument about how god is real and lose like i awlays do… can anyone help me out… also prayers would be GREATLY apperciated
thank you peng for your support i love you answer… also im moving soon back with my mom so her and i can keep eachother in line and hopefully try to help out the rest of our family together… but theank you peng once more because your answer almost made me start crying thank you the prayer especially ill try for it with all my heart

A: Hey!!! I know that feeling after a youth camp…People call that a Spiritual High. However, it doesn’t have to be a spiritual high. It takes discipline to not lose that. Reading the bible and praying helps to keep it. Just this summer, I had this awesome experience at a youth camp and to this day i still feel this Spiritual High. I started reading the bible again with a new feeling…like i actually wanted to read it. I even began having a better relationship with God through prayer…Again, this all takes discipline.

Ask your relative for forgiveness and even your sister…Forgiveness is soooo powerful. Cleanse yourself of your sins. Read the Bible. Get to know God and Jesus through the readings. Listen to Gospel, worshiping songs, or even christian contemporary. Get active in your church and/or youth group and immerse yourself. Spend time with other Christians or talk to your youth pastor/teacher about this. Pray for it again…ask God to open your eyes again.

Father, I pray for this young man. I know the feeling of this Spiritual High. I know that this is an awesome feeling and one that we would like to stay with us. I ask that you will let him feel this feeling again and that it will stay with him. Open his eyes, Father, so that he may see, and his heart, so that he may love. Let him not lose faith in you, but grow even stronger.
Help him to be able to proclaim you as his Lord and Savior and that he will not be ashamed of proclaiming that to others. Give him wisdom, courage, love, and stamina to endure the hardships in front of him. Lastly Father, discipline his heart and mind and keep him safe from harm.

In Jesus’ name-Amen.

Q: Living/working in the US?
So, I am considering spending time in the States, and i have some questions-

1. I’m Australian, I was wondering how easy it is to get a working visa/working tourists Visa

It may help if I give a brief summary of what I was thinking of doing-

1.Fly over to the states (after a month’s backpacking in Europe) and work at a Summer Camp from
early june to early September.

2. Backpack in the US for a month

3. Work aboard a Cruise line as a Youth Counselor from October to mid January.

4.Work as a Nanny in San Francisco for 5 months

6.Return to Summer Camp for second summer

7.Work on Cruises for a few more months

- then I’d head over to the U.K for a month before heading back to Australia.

What sort of Visa/Visa’s will I need to apply to- and will it be possible to get a Visa that allows me to work for a private Nanny agency (and get higher pay) rather than through an Au Pair program (that only pays pocket money of $190 a week).

A: Legally to remain in the US for more than three months you will need either a work visa or a student visa. Tourist visas max out at three months. Go to/contact the US embassy in Australia and discuss your plans with them. Just a note, you will have to stay on top of it until you recieve your visa as the embassies tend to be like governments in all countries: slow and forgetful :D Feel free to email with questions

Q: My friends are Potheads.?
First of all im a senior in high school and the group i hang out with is kinda an outdoor group. We go backpacking and the majority of us are either wrestlers or runners. Latley everyone in my crew has been getting into rec. drugs, i.e. marijuana and mushrooms. I refrained from using simply becuase i am training for my first marathon and I wanted to get a nice time on it. Now I just dont want to do it because even though they say its not addicting, it is all they flippin’ do. It makes them lazy and they sit all day playing video games, we rarely do our older activities like camping, etc. They eat a shitload and when i do chill with them they want to only do “kickbacks” and talk about “hotboxing” and we go and wait in some desolate park for a sketchy dealer to come out of the bushes and sell them overpriced crap. I dont want to hang out with them anymore and think I should start getting “straight edge” friends now.

P.S. Im not religious and that has nothing to do with this so please save it for your youth group. xD

A: Are you aware that hanging around stupid people is not an excuse if the cops catch you? Even if you are not smoking, you could be charged with something. This kind of thing will stay on your record for many, many years and can influence any jobs you might want in the future.

Q: Outward Bound questions?
Because my mother is completely insane, she is now threatening to send me to Outward Bound; while most of her threats turn out to be merely empty bluffs, I cannot help but fear them all the same.

For the record – I am not an “at-risk” youth, which most of the regulars in LGBT should know. I get good grades, usually all As, I’ve never been arrested, I don’t do drugs, drink, kill people.. etc. SO, yeah.
Here are my questions.

1. Do the instructors on Outward Bound treat you terribly? What’s it like? Someone with previous experience would be seriously appreciated.

2. Would my mother even be ABLE to place me in this type of camp? She wants me to go on the Southwest Backpacking trip, which starts in February and goes on for three weeks.

:| Yes, I hate my life.

A: Noo. Don’t go. :(
