Rodent damage is a bitch to deal with in cars. my father had a bunch of stuff chewed by raccoons that were possibly rabid and started eating insulation and wiring. cost a pretty penny and needed a trapper to get all of them so it didnt happen again

he found out the issue when he had trouble starting the car and lifted to hood to see two eyes staring back at him. said he never had that kind of engine trouble before

the first time i started the lawn mower this year the engine was running really rough and vibrating terribly. it turned out a chipmunk had somehow gotten under the cooling intake and taken up residence. he was mostly intact when i pulled his body out

I was supposed to go backpacking last weekend but my friend hosed up his neck so I just did a long hike instead. Trails are so busy, but at least the majority of people on the last hike I was on wore masks when around others.

Jesus christ I'm about to post in YOSPOS. This is what being an admin has done to me. Some people over in what used to be Take A Hike The Take A Hike subforum is currently kind of dead so we’re doing what amounts to a relaunch. It was in DIY which is kind of bizarre. It’s basically getting turned back into an RSF for a bit and I’m going to do a bunch of drumming up attention for it. The basic idea behind the new forum is going to be outdoors stuff. Hiking, fishing, hunting, camping, all that kind of good stuff. Here's the moved forum, bumped to be top level for the time being like all RSFs are. I suspect it will find a new home besides DIY in the future, since it was always kind of a weird fit as a sub there. The new name of the forum is The Great Outdoors. Anyways forums live or die by having specialist, niche threads. A lot of other subs have outdoors-y threads that are general purpose subject chat things which is good and fine. We don’t need to fill the forum with ten different camping/chat threads with different crews. TFR can have a video game thread even though Games is a forum, for example, because a general chat thread for gun nerds to talk about what they're playing today can't replicate the dozens upon dozens of unique threads that delve much deeper into specific subjects that a dedicated Games forum has. So, we are going to need some threads on the sort of niche outdoorsy poo poo that an actually goony outdoors forum would talk about. So if any of you ever wanted to have an OP of a thread about what hiking boots are good or how to make your own fishing lures or UrbEx or what the gently caress ever here’s your chance. I've already started what amounts to a soft launch of the reinvigorated forum. It's now a top level forum and we'll see where it goes from there. We've press ganged a couple of current mods into keeping an eye on it and, in true RSF fashion, if it takes off again we'll pull some people as mods from within that community.

Having an inflatable kayak that you can hike in and out is brilliant imo. Do you inflate it with your mouth until you're blue in the face or do you have some type of pump?

Methanar posted:does new zealand even have winter? Your whole country is coastal which should be a good temperature moderator the winter is mild outside of southern south island but nz only discovered that housing should have more insulation than a cardboard box about 10 years ago and people still use log burners as a primary heat source, even in urban neighbourhoods, so hope you like a dense fog of PM2.5 every time there's a chill but regardless of that, that's like saying boston doesn't have winter because it's coastal

like people are still flummoxed by mold issues in houses, while spending thousands a year to power electric space heaters to keep warm, and then deciding that 3k for underfloor insulation is too much to spend it's really hosed up mlmp

I remember a few years ago you were real dejected that you were too heavy to take flying lessons so I am very  that you're able to do that.are you doing the kind with a motor or just where you run off the edge of a cliff?

yeah i'm still not where I wanna be weight-wise but this is still pretty #lifegoals  the motorless one; looks less like running and more like "flying a kite by a cliff, except then the kite flies a chair under your rear end" but I guess that depends on wind from TGO, launch is at like 3m mad.radhu posted:Here is a 13 minute video (cut down from 1 hour 15 minutes of flight time) of what my flight was like yesterday Ciaphas fucked around with this message at 03:59 on Jul 30, 2020 |
