For what kind of hunting?
I only hunt small game so I don't use spotting optics but from what I've seen most big game hunters tend to use spotting scopes over binocs.

That's a lot of cash for nocs, if you're in Ontario I'd urge you to wait and see if a cheaper pair wouldn't work fine in the brush, I barely get a chance to see over 100 yards where I hunt. If you're in a real province I would at least consider a spotting scope.

What's your spot, and what game?

I have these 10x42 and have been pleased. They are as clear as ones costing 3x as much and the weight isn't bad. Many sites rate them highly.

Thanks mang. Pink Habanero also caught my eye, and I'll be growing some jalapeño for sure.
I'm okay with sending out seeds to /hgm/ bros, international letters don't cost too much. Whatever you get, it'll be colourful, the 4 ornamentals I have are growing very close together.

>Bolivian Rainbow
>CAP 1166 (cute little marbles that ripen from green to black to red)
>Numex Twilight
With a Caramel Bhut half a meter away from them, this one is the most likely to grow true from seed (though I've read that the caramel version isn't completely stable yet).

Pic is cap 1166 & bhut. I had seedlings left over, read you could fuse them, but only after putting them together I learned they need to be the same family to properly grow together.
So I left them in the small pot, outside instead of in the greenhouse. Still pretty neat imho.

Wilting can be from heat or lack of water. It is when the vines are starting to turn yellow and die that you know you can harvest without regard to ripeness. If your plant is healthy you can check the resting spot on the watermelon. If it is white, it isn't ripe. It if is yellow, it is ripe. The more yellow it becomes the riper it will be. Don't rotate the watermelon, always keep the same side touching the ground/board so you can use the spot as a good ripeness indicator. If your watermelons are hanging, you'll need to go by the number of days the watermelon has been growing to determine ripeness. Thumping the side of a watermelon, for the sound, can be very hit or miss.

>CAP 1166

Neat looking peppers. Though, the pot seems a bit small and the bhut looks like it has too much water. Growing the different cultivars in a single pot like that can be a problem since one may be fine with more water than the other one. Or, the requirements of one exceed the other, or they compete too much. In this instance, I think the CAP 1166 can withstand the extra water but the bhut can't.

Yeah, they are in different. They are in the same Family and Genus, but simply different species. CAP 1166 (Capsicum annuum var CAP 1166) and Caramel Bhut (Capsicum chinense X Capsicum frutescens var. caramel).

Don't have a "SHTF" bag. I have an EDC/truck bag that generally has some tools, my nalgene, extra mags for my CC, light(s), emergency/signal blanket, some matches and/or lighters, pair of gloves, hat, medical stuff, pack rain cover and a lightweight rain jacket for myself.

It changes often though as I'll take it on flights or use it as a range bag sometimes. Might throw in some hand warmers if it's Winter. Might throw in some rifle mags if I have my rifle in the truck. Might throw in some snacks. Might throw in my foretrex 401/map(s)/compass/ranger beads depending on where I am and what I'm doing.

As soon as I get home from a trip, I wash and repack everything so I'm ready to go again at the drop of a hat. Since I have it set up for month-long hikes as a default, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't need anything else.

I'd probably toss a few more jars of powerbait in there if I had to make it last several months or longer...

Bandages, ointment, tourniquet, gauze, alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, pain killers, benadryl, matches, 5 bic lighters, road flares, tarp tent, bark river fox river 3v, ferro rod, magnesium block, us map, 1 750ml bottle jack daniels, metal cup, metal pot, duct tape, 100ft 550 cord, gps watch, 10 each M80"s (stun fish if your starving and dont have time to fish them out) signal mirror, shiny heat blanket, camelback water pouch, corona folding saw, plastic bags, Aluminum foil. 2 sporks, mechanix gloves, fenix flashlight, leatherman, this solar radio/usb charger/flashlight /bottle opener,whistle, 2 mre's.

yes, but don't count on too many responses.

semi-related, abstractly i love the idea of paragliding, but concretely i think i'd piss myself, then crash and die

i can reorient myself by looking at my feet on the rock, but i'm pretty sure i'd be completely fucked the first time i got more than 500' off the ground.

I've been paragliding once, it really wasn't scary at all. I was scared shitless about it too beforehand but in the end it was a pleasant and relaxing experience.

I would if I could, man. The old thread hit the bump limit, so I figured it was time.

real simple question:
say i'm one person, in an at least agreeable climate (arboreal, ~20c during the day, 15c during the night), and i'm going out for three days
how much, approximately, would my pack weigh do you think? i've been thinking like 10kg, but it seems a bit light.

Where are you geographically? Can't really ID plants without that info.

Regardless of what anyone in this thread says NEVER eat something if you cannot absolutely positively identify it beyond a shadow of a doubt yourself as edible and non-toxic.

Fuck lawn culture.

>TIME: The average homeowner will spend 150 hours a year maintaining their lawn (… but only 35 on sex!)
>PESTICIDES: 10 times more herbicides per acre are dumped on lawns than on the fields of agribusiness.
>MONEY: Per acre, it costs more to maintain a lawn than it does to grow corn, rice or sugarcane. More than 40 billion dollars are spent on the lawn in North American each year – more than the entire continent gave in foreign aid in 2005.
>BIRDS + BEES: In the U.S. an estimated 7 million birds are killed yearly by lawn-care pesticides. Honey Bee Colony collapse disorder is being linked to pesticides.
>RUNOFF + FISH: Phosphorus run-off from lawn fertilizer causes algae blooms that suck oxygen out of lakes, asphyxiating fish.
>WATER: 30% of the water used on the East Coast of U.S. goes towards watering of lawns. A single golf course in Tampa, Florida uses 178,800 gallons of water every day, enough to meet the daily water needs of over 2,200 people.
>SAFETY: Approximately 7,500 Americans are injured every year using lawn mowers, about the same number as firearms. About 10,000 of those accidents involve children. More than 30% these injuries resulted in an amputation of some sort. That’s more than 22,000 limbs and digits that go missing every year in pursuit of the perfect green!

vermont covers a lot of ground man.

what part are you in? I really enjoyed Pico and the backside of Smuggs.

Tell someone where you're going and when you expect to be back just in case you get trapped under a boulder and have to cut off your hand.
