So over the past couple years, my brother and I have been having casual fun playing the game with each other whenever we are both in town, and it has turned into a bit where we only buy pokémon cards for each other as gifts now.
We keep buying overpriced sifted cheap packs online and the returns don’t really feel worth it. I’m not looking for anything with crazy resell value or tournament ready sets, but is there any chance y’all may have some bulk stacks that are reasonably playable I can buy from you for cheap?
Happy to cover shipping if it isn’t insane. In the Dallas Area

Need help & thoughts with this one, i’m not very familiar with northern latitudes

I have the opportunity for a free flight to Alaska sometime within the next two weeks, and I always do a solo camping trip for my birthday so with my 21st comin up I figured it’s time.

My plan as of now is to land in anchorage, and either bus or hitch to wonder lake for the view of Denali.

I was curious if y’all know whether it’s safe enough to hammock camp, and if bear mace is ABSOLUTELY necessary. I would prefer to spend as little money as possible :)

Oh also! I usually just use iodine droplets for water purification when i’m camping but everything online has gaslit me into thinking crypto is gonna annihilate me if I only use iodine. ik it takes a while to kill giardia in colder temperatures but that doesn’t really bother me cuz I carry 2-3 bottles at a time and can wait if need be. Do y’all think that’s an acceptable enough form of water treatment for Alaska or should I use something else. (again trying to be as financially efficient as possible)
