That will work in some regions. In others you may need to rent a bear canister. Talk to your local rangers to find out what's appropriate, it depends on the local bears.

Which country?

If the question were about books instead of movies/shows Anne of Green Gables would be my answer.

The show's on my list to watch, but that only grows, never shrinks.

The wooden deck is a weird element to bring into it. In the US decks are sometimes there for conservancy reasons. They're present along parts of the Appalachian trail.

I might instead draw the line based on whether members of your party are putting it up and taking it down as part of the trip.

But I could also see electricity being a reasonable dividing line. Like a cabin several miles from where you can get a motorized vehicle might be more camping than a tent in your backyard that you ran an extension cord and a TV out to.

I'm ok with others drawing lines elsewhere though.

I tear up at most movies. It's not a sad movie, but Everything Everywhere All at Once holds the current record for most cries.

Generally if a movie doesn't make me tear up at least once that's a bad sign. At the same time I don't gravitate towards tearjerkers, they can feel emotionally manipulative and heavy handed.

I almost never cry for TV shows or books.

I liked them. The arc of the first two is over. You get more details about the Shrike, but if you've gone years without reading further, I can't imagine it's that pressing.

If you reach a point where you're looking for sci fi, and don't have another obvious choice, go for it you'll probably like them. But I wouldn't recommend shifting them above anything in your backlog. Hyperion and Fall off Hyperion really are the stars here.

Fall of Hyperion is a good stopping point. I liked 3 and 4 as well, but they're doing their own thing. I tend to think of it as two separate pairs rather than as a single 4 book series.

I can't really visualize things in general. Due to that, if you tell me it's muddy that's most of the information I get. My brain won't automatically try to put mud on the horses or add other details.

Here the specifics help a lot and I have a better sense of the muddy day for it.

AI aside, different voices may be immersion breaking. I tend to avoid audiobooks with more than a single narrator.

You'll love TV advertising schedules. You can buy slots all the way up through 29:59:59

Or just start ordinals with 0th for years 0-99

This is standard in US-style carrot cakes
