Here's the area where I go to get some of my natural resources. https://drive.proton.me/urls/D8CTTJ4WS0#GOZby8HOQ4WQ Not hard to find prefab sticks or whatever. If I take the longer way round so I don't cut through anyone's yard, I can stretch it out to 5 minutes. If I take the longer longer...

For the first time in the year and a half that we've had Boomer, my Australian border collie, I'm finally feeling good enough to get a grasp on his potential. He's our first border cross that didn't take off when let free and I'm taking advantage of it. A quick video of a nice little method I...

Nice... I like those babies. I do like my technotoys, and I have had my share of them. The stuff I like now are some of the apps I can download. My favorite navigation app is a dashboard HUD to dispay the phone or tablet as a projection onto the windshield. Back in the 1980s when I was in the...

I figured this morning I'd show a few things that I use as alternatives if your blade needs work and you're caught without. A link to the pic is here, nothing you never saw before, just bland examples, but anyway... https://drive.proton.me/urls/JCQTSRNEA4#XfMkHXxj7a5c - My favorite one is the...

OK, you were across the St. Croix River border and an upper-medium length drive down what, the I-95, if I'm correct? Beautiful area; worked in Bingham, Maine for a couple week-long stretches here and there while I worked with Salmon. If you want to see a salmon fry born as conjoined triplets - I...

I live in a farming region in Atlantic Canada and the woods and a beaver pond are across the road. We see a lot of stuff here. It's a 3 minute drive to a roadside pool with sea run brook trout almost at your feet, a couple metres out. I saw a turkey run up the road from the living room (me...

How's it going? New member here, from Atlantic Canada, names Al. Being almost 63 I agree with the idea of minimalism. I had to adapt from camera bag with a variety of niche EDC tools; I have an Australian border collie that didn't get used to a leash before we got him. Too much for me with...

Yeah, the more you know, the more you know you don't know. Aristotle. No, they don't. The yolk sac absorbs too soon and they essentially starve. Now I did work at a salmon genetics program years back, selective breeding, and the mgr was telling me that they did get one up to 20g, probably...

Yeah, the fish is a salmon fry, from when I worked at the hatchery. Doubles are very common, but this one shocked the hell out of everyone. I somehow managed to see it when it whipped by my eye in a siphon tube. Had to keep that one behind. I like to grow a few plants over the summer. One of my...

Hmmm. Maybe we have a high incidence of germophobes here in Canada.

Never thought about it like that. Touche.

I thank you very much. That was probably the one route I didn't check. Lemme see what I can do here...

It's disconcerting how parents keep a bottle of sanitizer to smear on a kid's scrape. In the 60s and probably the 70s, a parent would spit on a tissue and use it. People are too lazy -or whatever - to follow a train of logic. You build up resistance with exposure. Back then, we had pocket...

I got a couple pics posted of my plants in the cloud https://drive.proton.me/urls/059N9S98T0#L34TbHChOlhE It's not far in yet, but they'll get taller than me if I don't tie them horizontal. My plan, though is to see how far I can an push production with training. One pic shows a chewed-up plant...

If you found the Irish River you made it there. I'm about a 3/4 hour drive inland in Sussex. I found Berkshire on Earth, a ways west of London. I saw on YouTube a project where beavers are being introduced up north in Scotland. I have a degree in Environmental Biology and that kind of thing...

Oh, the recovery is going great finally, thanks. Not hard to find things to do. The outdoors is very accessible around here. A one minute walk gets me in the woods and another couple minutes is a beaver pond where I get sticks to carve. If I had a license I'd be able to fish there too. I've...

10 years. I thought my few months was a long stretch.

Hey everyone, I'm finally getting around to a thread of my own. I'm recovering from bone surgery in my face and starring to feel good again. Here comes the boring part, where I say a bit about myself. You can follow my train of babble on Google Earth. I'm from Newfoundland originally, the Bay...

Hey Pattree, I've been making mine for >20 years now. The wife still has the first one I made. Right now I have a few, but the one I keep in the car is a Moses stick with a snake head and a fully carved shaft. It's made from a piece of spruce driftwood from the Bay of Fundy, where we have the...

Can somebody be so kind as to answer a Q? I got an outdated link in my signature I want to change and for the life of me I can't find my way back there. I'm pretty sure it was only a couple clicks to find it, but anyway...
