Man, why can't I get my shit together and build a nice greenhouse already?

Anyone in here do micropropagation/tissue culture?

I have a Rem 870 Upland Special just for that.

A 12 ga Rem 870 Wingmaster for general purpose. Both have screw in Rem chokes.

My 10 ga is my SxS skybuster! A nice, 30" bbl, very heavy, Spainish double. Sandhill cranes and evil ravens are not safe!

I put a lot of discrimination into these choices because I'm not really a shotgun guy, but the Rems are first and second on the right, pic related.

A nice O/U could be in the future? Prolly a 12ga, for the load versatility.

I would have more guns but I'm a po' boy, hence the $500 O/U. Just got it this past summer after busting my ass as a farm hand, finally gonna take it out quail hunting next week on a little hunting/fishing camp excursion (will post pics eventually, should be fun.) Since I got it though I've just been busting clays, which it does pretty well. For quail I use an improved cylinder and modified, my loads are winchester super x size 6, 1 oz low-brass. any advice on chokes and load choice would be greatly appreciated.

Another one?

I really enjoy smoking a pipe, especially while /out/. I have a Stanwell Danske Club 51.

Currently Granger is my go to, same tobacco my great grandpa smoked. I have like 4 tins of Ashton I just got because I want to see if it is as good as it smells, which it's probably not. I also just ordered a pouch of 5 Brothers and a 2oz tin of GLP Quiet Nights both of which im excited to try

Can you, in Canada, carry a rifle every time you go to the woods?

>>903633
parks that allow hunting with permit and "crown land" basically government run land is totally open.

I like Husqvanas too. Have a splitting axe and a maul.

Their smaller axes are a little thick through the bit for me, I prefer the thinner stuff like GB does.

You need to fashion a collar for that thing you are beating up the handle.

Has anybody bought a Prandi axe? They seem like a good way to get Gransfors meme quality at a third of the price.

I have a shitty axe I got on amazon for like 20 bucks a few years back but soon I'm going to be moving and I'm going to need a more reliable axe to chop firewood can anyone recommend a good axe that will stand up to repeated use?

When I was a kid, me and some friends would go behind places like cvs and walgreens after holidays for things like valentine's day chocolate and Xmas lights. Go at night, dummy.

Tasmanian Tiger Ranger 60, it's alright. I still need to put some useful pouches on it though.

depends on how your state views waterway ownership

depends on how long you want to shit in a basin

Not familiar with those hikes, but I did Hermit's Rest to Dripping Springs (3.5 mi to floor, for 7 mi total) if you want to include your family. It took 3 or 4 hours I think and was steep at the beginning/end

>>924576
Do not hike rim/river/rim in one day.

I did rim SK to Totnto to rim SK and that was good.

An alternative would be rim SK to Tonto to BA to rim. A long but achievable day hike.

I did that a wek after the previous fitness test.

Alternatively,rim Hermit Trail to Dripping Spring or Santa Maria Spring is ineteresting and far less crowded than The Corridor.

Luck, post pics.

>>924672
OK but why not?
The main reason people list for not going rim to floor is that you suffer from heat exhaustion and or dehydration. But its winter and about 30 degrees, and we'll each carry 4 liters of water down and refill at Bright Angel campsite so water shouldn't be a problem either.

I just use a generic waterstone from the hardware store. Put it on a bit of friction mat on a tabletop, wet it and the knife and just diagonally pass it over at an angle like you're trying to shave the top of the stone off. 10-20 passes each side. Push from the shoulder, keep the wrist steady and the angle consistent. If I'm out or away from a table and for some reason need to resharpen I wet both surfaces and just try to pass it over freehand a few times. Does the job fine and for 90% of applications it'll probably be all you're gonna need (with some practice).

Edge of your car's window, underside of a ceramic mug. You can also those 2-part keychain sharpeners on ebay for cheap but these are really only appropriate for V grinds.

engineering and/or mining books with pencil or spacepen for casuals

slate and fine chisel for hard core ancestors reading this if not wiping bums with this level

I've been keeping hiking journals for the past 2 years, I just use normal paper notebook and a cheap mechanical pencil, both thrown into a big ziplock bag. Honestly, this whole belief that you need to spend big money on highly specialized equipment to do every little thing, bugs the fuck out of me. The activity itself should be the focus, not the tool.

Is that Heimo that same real eccentric goofy guy who was on Vice? Somebody stayed in a tent with him for a bit, might have been Thomas Morton.

>>921088
It's probably him. He's been in books and docs relating to survival and bushcraft since the nineties or so

>>921028
I'll put this in perspective. I live in one of the more northern cities in Canada. Winter here is generally effectively from halloween until about april . I imagine there it's october until may. So surviving off of 200 salmon and one moose for 240 days. For the dogs that's about 1/10 of a salmon per day to eat. That's probably just under a pound per dog per day.

Then if a moose is say 1000lb and if you really use everything you have 800lb to eat... that's about 1.67 lb per person per day for 2 people.

I'd say the dogs are pretty essential if your vehicle is down and you need to get out for some reason. So overall I think their estimates are pretty safe although they might need to augment them here and there. I know it's just a vague estimate and I'm sure there are holes in it but just to show it makes some amount of sense mind you.

You burn about twice the energy moving in deep snow and extreme cold I would guess. I used to eat about twice what I normally do in Northern Canadian bush.
