Seems like a bit of a faggot if you ask me.
Not that there is anything "wrong" with that

Your nephew needs a haircut and a couple testosterone injections.

I don't know about hooking a motor to a canoe, where would it mount? However, I do know that if you're going upstream it's easier if you ride the eddies near the shore, rather than fighting the current out in the middle.

The short answer? Probably, yeah. Take a few practice runs to see how long a full battery charge lasts, though. My buddy's got a 50lb thrust trolling motor that only lasted about 2 - 3 hours on the lake in moderate weather. That was also on a 14 ft aluminum boat, though. Take it out on some practice runs and get familiar with it. That's about the only thing you can do.

Always launch so you start into the wind and can drift back if necessary.

Good find OP.

Hope I answered your question.

So I posted in the last thread about my starfruit and mango trees... Mango I think has some kind of disease, but the starfruit apparently just needed more fertilizer lol. I had been using a sprayer but I don't think enough soaked into the soil so I jut dumped a bunch in and now it's growing even faster and the leaves are big and green instead of small and light green/yellow.

Wish I had realized that a couple of years ago, I'd have a nice small tree with fruit by this point.

Mango still looked ratchet and has dried up brown yellow leaves, but I did notice a small green bud starting to form, so hopefully with the heavy fertilizer dose and pesticide/fungicide it will pull through.

I'll get some pictures when it's less hot and sunny outside.

Anyway next up I've got about 7 pineapples that have been just sitting in water for a few years, need to get them in soil so they can actually produce.

Kind of want new trees but I guess it's late in the season for that. I really want to replace a fig and a loquate that didn't make it before, and even had an addenium die that had been with me for over a decade :( Had beautiful flowers too but I accidentally left it outside one night since it wasn't supposed to get close to freezing... But I guess it did. :(

if the wood you're collecting is too thick or wet to break by hand you're collecting the wrong wood.

I don't know if this is the right thread for this, but as a person who would like to learn how to hunt but doesn't know anyone who hunts, what would you recommend to get started? I live in northern Illinois, btw.
Inb4 Illinois is /out/ shit tier

Probably. You'll also look like a nerd.

Any trailer needs lights along with plates/registration; that's a DOT thing, not a state req. Brake/turn signals, running lights at night at the minimum. There's length and size reqs that specify if additional clearance lighting is also needed.

Check with your agent on your vehicle's insurance policy about what is and isn't covered with a trailer. I have a policy just for my trailer that covers not only the trailer itself against theft/damage but also contents in transit. Something that small, you're probably OK using what your vehicle's coverage extends to a trailer.

For something that size, the basic 4-pin flat connector's all you need. If the vehicle came with a receiver, it's probably already got the flat-4 connector.
If not, there's harnesses you can buy that tee off the vehicle's taillights and go to a flat-4 connector. Fairly inexpensive, and easy to install yourself.

A bigger trailer like mine (10ft on the square, 4ft V-nose, 8ft wide, 6.5ft tall, deck-over-axle on a carhauler frame) will need the 7-pin RV connector. That adds an aux. 12v line, reverse, and a line for electric brakes. That's a little more involved to install, but any vehicle capable of towing something heavy enough to need electric brakes should already be wired for that. Also need a brake controller in the vehicle.

On the trailer side, auto parts stores have trailer light kits you can buy. Again, cheap and easy to DIY. One light on the left, one light on the right, and a connector to the hitch.

>>799851
Thank you so much!

Also worth noting, some trailers (notably horse trailers and converted military trailers) get real creative with connectors and wiring - 5-pin and 6-pin round connectors exist, and they're rarely wired the same way.

Personally, i'd rip that fucky connector off and replace it with either the 7-pin RV or flat-4, depending on the lighting the trailer has. Make it standard so any vehicle with those generic connectors can plug in and light up the trailer.

Wiring on trailers is usually shitty too. Insulation-displacing "scotch-locks" are a favorite of trailer manufacturers because they're cheap as fuck and last just long enough to sell it to someone.

I've seen a couple trailers that used the hitch as a ground between truck and trailer... fix the truck/trailer's wiring so ground goes through a connector.
If one light's flickering, it's usually the power to that light. If all the lights flicker, you've got a bad ground.

A backup camera over the hitch makes lining up real easy. Less of a problem with a small trailers you can pick up, but when you get into bigger enclosed rigs, having an eyeball over the hitch is nice. If you really want to cheat, install airbags and a compressor/dump valve.

I was out yesterday by myself and I was trying to hike through the forest to get to the lower alpine of a smaller mountain range in our area. I was walking anywhere that was the easiest and I saw a squirrel up in a tree. It was weird because I noticed it wasn't moving. That's when I noticed some taped wires on the tree. I zoomed my phone in on it, it was about 25 feet or so up the tree. In the middle of no where not on a trail at about 1000 feet up on forest service land, 100% positive it wasn't private property.

Don't worry about being alone because someone is always watching you.

Get a first edition 4runner

The Subaru will be more capable, especially if you get one of the older, lighter ones not like the one you have pictured. The Honda has more headroom though. I've heard a variety of things about the Element, both that it's a nice, competent vehicle and that it's a dismal turd, but nobody has said it's total garbage. How much offroading are you planning on doing?

>>798520
I do not plan to do any off roading. Live in the city and wanna be able to take spontaneous trips and sleep in the back for extended trips to mountains and national parks. Also want something I don't have to worry about keeping clean and will have room. I'm leaning toward element for these reasons but considering forester for the sake that's it's a trusted brand and seen as an outdoorsman brand.

You don't need a gun for cougars and bears.

The reason you want one is that you are scared. Accept it, move on.

I’m watching “The Survivalist” (2015) and about half way thru when I noticed the plastic water/pop bottles stuck on sticks in the guy's garden.

What’s up with that?

Also, the movie has T&A.
