Sell gaming rig and ps4
Buy old running shitbox
Get a job

>>1042531
no running shotbox's on craigslist, ps4 is maybe 300, gaming rig not likely to sell on craigslist.

if I can come up with 500 dollars I can fly to hawaii one way, or las vegas/salt lake city.

>>1042530
>>1042531
And I forgot to add, literally everywhere in NH needs low skill labor right now. I seriously doubt Market Basket or Dunkin are hiring through indeed.

Just flew into Las Vegas a few days ago; I'm doing conservation work in Mt. Zion. It's so hot here, it's absolutely unreal. I'm from southeastern US so I'm used to humid heat but this is something else entirely.

>>1042455
and to answer your question, I wouldn't voluntarily go out in this right now. Apparently the heat wave is passing soon so maybe wait until it's only like 100. Las Vegas is close to Hurricane/St. George, which has some of the best climbing/mountain biking/hiking in the world, so that's always an option.

>>1042408
Go up
Get off the desert floor and get into the mountains
It won't be as hot up there
Drive through Death Valley into Owens valley and climb the Eastern Sierra

I run one of the backpacking clubs at my university so I would obviously recommend you join

>>1042078
What's it like?

>>1042054
It will depend on the people in the club, I joined the one at my uni but it was filled with autists so I never did anything with them.
Go to a social and get to know them. If you like them join. Otherwise you can always organise your own stuff if you find friends who like the hobby as well

Found this light-up Livingston crank just laying on the shore today.

Battery's dead and it's missing hits hooks+split rings, but otherwise seems fine.

Recommend me the proper-sized trebles for it.

>>1041783
are you sure it's dead?

>>1041793
Yeah. I've gotten a couple like it out of MTB's, you're supposed to wet your fingers and touch the two hook eyelets to complete the circuit. It'll make a light clicking noise/feel if the battery's good.

I take it this one sat in a tackle box most of its life, because the body of it is pretty much pristine.

My EDC.

>>1041082
Sure. Lets do it real deep in the woods. Bring your social security card, you can never bee too safe about the crazies pretending on the internet. Also bring lots of cash its better to not have the government tracking us. And don't tell anyone where you're going.

I just want to go camping with my fellow autists. I don't have any friends who like camping.

Where in Oregon?

>>1041079
What the fuck is going on over there?
I don't follow the news.

There's a forest fire raging in parkland in central Portugal and lots of people are getting caught in it. Pic related.

>>1041094
I'm assuming those people are dead.
They must have been really desperate to drive between those trees.

I've seen the effects of a big bonfire on cars and it will literally melt every rubber and plastic part off.
Melted radiator, cooling fan, tyers, and air filter box kills the car and it's passengers stone fucking dead way before the glass starts to go soft.

In modern cars especially, with plastic front mudguards that melt easy, there is no protection for the tyres.

I bet it was fucking Eucalyptus's fault. What a piece of shit tree.
Ten years ago I applied for a logger job in Spanish/Portugish border region of Extramadura.
You were given a pickup and an axe, and a thousand Eucalyptus trees to clear. Some priest had planted the trees 50 (now 60) years ago.
No chainsaw because the trees were an extreme risk of spontaneous combustion. Evaporating oils or some shit.
Didn't get the job. I'm assuming the guy that did is still at it.

Anyway, stay safe Portugals.

>How do you go /out/ without anyone to do it with guys?

I don't. Same boat as you anon.

I used to go /out/ solo all the time but...there's something about sharing it with someone that makes it so much better. I still do it to decompress occasionally but there's nothing like sharing a campfire or hiking in with a friend.

>how can i build up motivation to leave my house

I live in Marin hbu

>So anyone know how best to
Do it right or don't do it at all. In other words, don't attempt to do any of the things you greentexted. Get everything permitted up properly and pay your fucking property taxes, so Uncle Sam doesn't come and rip it all out from under you. Life's got enough tripping stones as is without you adding more by cutting corners.

The thing is, I have worked in construction (unlicensed) since I was 13 years old. I can easily build something like a septic tank, but good luck getting the plans through without a license. Oh, try getting a license for someplace like Beltram County. It is a bunch of good old boys who prevent anyone they don't want from getting a contractors license. So you either pay them 15K to do it, or you do it illegally yourself for 300 bucks.

How incompetent are you? It's 5 minutes at the county courthouse.

>wattle fence

I've been wanting to make one of those, but every time I think about it I realize I have too much welded wire fencing laying around I could use first and it lasts 20+ years.

Those peppers are so packed in. You could have planted 1/3 the amount and they'd still fill out the entire area, fyi.

Im in zone 3b and seasonal depression is a big problem for me, any cold hardy perennials that add color to a winter garden?

>>1042448
Ah, I see that, "wood carving" is the term I was looking for.

get yourself a few wood chisels and files, a hand-saw, a block of wood, a sketchpad and get to it mate

You can do the same thing using water, yeast, and some sugar. The yeast will ferment the mixture and various things will come to it, not just gnats (amazing for ridding your house of gnats/flies; webm). You may want to insert a screen just above the water level to prevent the large insects from drowning in the water.

Entomologists normally use pitfall traps, which is just a container buried in the ground so that insects walk into it and can't get out again. Sometimes they are baited. This is good for larger spiders, ground beetles, wood roaches, crickets, and even sometimes amphibians and reptiles. A container with curved shoulders will help. I use similar traps baited with the above mixture to capture and kill slugs in my gardens.

Fair warning, yes, you can eat slugs/snails, but that can be very dangerous for numerous reasons:

http://www.motherearthnews.com/real-food/edible-insects-zebz1305znsp

Not only do you need to cook them no matter what, but forcing them to eat something safe so they dump all the previous food from their digestive tract is also a must. Most people use carrots. When the slug/snail starts pooping orange, it means the digestive tract is clear then you can cook and eat them. Or, in the wild, cut them open and remove the digestive tract before eating.

Beetles are your best bet for big quick protein. Your night light is the best method of getting them. If the container is painted black everywhere but the funnel it will help guide the insects to the funnel trap. This is also a great away to help rid your house of winter-hibernating stuff like stink bugs and Asiatic lady beetles.

>>1042343
Thanks, I'm going to try it sometime this week. My only worry is it won't be in sufficient quantity. Even with multiple jars set up.

>>1042354
A good trapper has tons of traps setup in tons of places. Most of the day is spent walking between trap sites setting and checking traps.

>>1042121
OC here anon. Went turkey hunting down near Julian this spring. There's a lot of spots to stealth camp as not a lot of people are on the trails. That and it's not hunting season besides pig and coyote.

what about oceanside?

>>1042372
No idea. Just stay off the military base

>>1041329

Pretty much fucked I'm afraid.

Depending on your budget and the number of trees you want to save there are 'medications' which a certified arborist can apply but they're expensive and no guarantee.

Most municipal governments removed the dead and dying Ash and replaced it with Green Ash - which is not susceptible to infestation but which is also not as nice a tree.

Sorry about your trees. Anthropogenic environment change is a bitch.

Start chopping fire wood and planting new trees. Same shit happened around the midwest. The entire county got wiped out.

>>1041329
Happened in the UK. Start chopping, I'm afraid.
