How long have you had your spider plant? They generally reach full maturity after a year or so. Honestly they are one of the easiest plants ever to take care of and are almost impossible to kill unless you somehow forget to water them for a month or something, but even that might not kill them. so I think all it needs is probably time.

>>978052
It's been around for awhile, I'm guessing a year or two. Would putting it in a bigger pot allow it to get bigger? Is there any pruning tricks or feeding that might help?

get a bigger pot
plant the babies so it fills out more

years ago i modified mine by taking the "thick" cushions out of the top and bottom center and replaced them with 50 mil thick plastic sheeting cut to the same dimensions.
what i lost in comfort i gained in packability by being able to roll it up and stash it away.

Run a cord through the handle and tie it to the outside of the pack

>>978018
The reason i ask is i don't carry a pack. It's more like a small buttpack on a single shouder strap.

wait for a storm. it will be great

Punch a hole in the hull, it'll keep you busy

>how do you know?

>>977469
I was gonna day deer. Goats are like that too. I remember from the good ol' petting zoo.

>>977468
Those are field raisins. Edible.

slingshots are great for small game like squirrels and small birds but i wouldnt recommend it for ducks unless youre a very good shot and can hit their head consistently. id suggest a .22 for ducks

>>977421
I have. You need one that is intended for hunting with very large bands. Then your ammo needs to be fairly heavy and uniform from shot to shot to maintain accuracy between shots.

As far as how large of game you can bring down will depend on the ammo and the power of the sling shot. I only ever went after birds, chipmunks, squirrels, rabbits, and groundhogs. The latter two I don't recommend going after with light equipment.

There are also "Archery Slingshots" for larger game.

Carinthia's compression sacks. I got the bigger model for my winter sleeping bag. It will fit pretty much any bag out there, and is better than other compression sacks because it can be compressed in both directions. Cost me like 30€, would recommend.

Well shit, posted from my phone so I'm not sure why it's upside down

I have the same pot. You can cook in it, be careful because it easily boils over. I just boil water and cook in bags. Cleaning pots in the backcountry sucks ass.

>>977212
Forgot to add, Ramen, pasta sides, macaroni and cheese, shit like that

$250 at retail, or at industry discount?

I would think the Guide would be the one to give recommendations.

>>977065
I am the guide. I've got my regular kit of stuff I just want to hear differing opinions on recommendations. Like I've got an O.R rain jacket that I like but I haven't owned a Patagonia one or an arc'terx one and I'm looking to expand my gear. I can only use the money I'm being given towards gear and as I said I don't "need" anything, I just want to use the money I'm being given before the offer expires.

I'm trying to get some new ideas for the series of trips I'm planning for the BWCA this summer

Okay Luke.

I'll be doing every lake on the boundary again this summer for work between North Fowl and Lac La Croix, albeit small sections every other week. That's all I've ever done but it's enjoyable. Every night we get a different campsite as we canoe along, do some work, and stopping to fish every so often. My job doesn't provide the best gear so if you see some people portaging black contractor trash bags you probably passed my coworkers.

Is it me or is that *.jpg deteriorating more and more everytime I see it?
I mean, it is possible with images to corrupt and fuck up their compression after a ton of transfers.

Fucking moron.

I can't seem to find out how many chickens he owns, but from the photos, it doesn't look like very many at all; especially if he's feeding all of them using kitchen scraps and compost. If you have 25 chickens, that may be pretty difficult to do, even with free range. Any more and you'll need to grow food for them.

This is a typical "I was spending $10 billion, but now I'm making $1 million a week! You can too!" type of thing. Only the problem here is that what he is now doing is what you do starting out. On a farm, you don't toss anything in the trash. You compost everything and the compost is open to livestock to pick through. You don't worry about compost recipes and green-brown ratios. You don't worry about stirring it. You don't need a worm bin or a BSF bin. You don't even try to contain it. You just pile it up in a "zone" and let the chickens have at it.

There's already a Homegrowmen thread which has farming and gardening in it: >>974435

It looks good to me.

>>976725
Well you probably don't notice them elsewhere because there's too much background noise or you're just not paying attention to what people say when there's other thing going on.

And yes, there is a fairly big /out/ culture in Germany. Deuter, Vaude, Meindl, Hanwag, Lowa, etc.

>>976725
They get decent vacations from work, and like to travel.

Something that would need a couple days of antibiotics and rest could kill me deep Inna woods.

If you drink fountain drinks, forget purification. The nozzles never get cleaned, and your coke or nestea is fucking loaded with cyanobacteria. Would you like a side of ALS with those fries?

The gas station in Arco has great hot dogs

Vedauwoo in WY is pretty cool to check out. Right between Cheyenne and Laramie on I-80.

Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah are amazing this time of year, as the salt flats are flooded and reflect the landscape like a giant mirror. Pic related.

I live in colorado, plan to spend like 3-4 days in yellowstone to see most of the stuff
I would also recommend rocky mountain national park in colorado, and devils tower in wyoming
