Just gotta get the right angle. But I normally can't get the blades super sharp with those stones, they aren't fine enough. Try the bottom of a ceramic mug after the stone.

If youre trying to get out nicks, start out with a lower grit and move up. Dont expect good results with just one stone, especially a small one.
Buying multiple stones is a good idea but it would get expensive (and wasteful if you dont know what youre doing)
For a good start, buy some sandpaper for a few dollars and lay it down on a perfectly flat surfave. I personally go from 120>240>600>1500

Here in the alps you need a ABS backpack as well.

I read somewhere that the first pinheads should appear after 5-20 days so I know it could still happen, but how long should I keep this up until I give up and try with another kit?

Consensus here, is that dry spores may survive a freeze, but wet mycelium will almost certainly die. Prognosis doesn't look good.

Thanks for the info dude:)

That sounds like literally the faggiest thing you could do while out.

You have chickens, that's a great thing for compost!
I like to let the them do most of the composting for me.
Look for a slope. Ideal close to the house and the garden (short ways) and shady (you can also plant some trees there)
Put a fence around and chickens inside
Put your manure + kitchen scrabs + garden waste + carbon rich material (straw, hay, leaves, wood chips...) inside your new chicken run at the top! of the slope and water it

The chickens now will scratch through the material, mixing it and pushing it further downhill
When the material arrives at the bottom of the slope, it should be rich compost, ready for the garden.
Keep the area shady and moist

No turning
No weed seeds
No insects
Free chicken food!

I've read that turning and disturbing the pile actually is not beneficial for compost.

Here's why. The core of the compost can reach pretty high temperatures which helps with decay. If disturbed, the thermic process basically has to start from the beginning delaying the time it would take for organic material to decay.

>>750486
You basically have two choices:
>composting fast, hot and have compost faster and have to work more
or
>composting slow, therefore cold and with less work

For hot compost , you build bigger heaps, add more nitrogen and keep it wetter.
Also you HAVE to turn it! because otherwise it will get too hot in the middle and not hot enough at the outside
When you build a good compost and turn every second day, you can have a finished compost within three weeks.
I would not feel comfy shovelling compost for half an hour every second day. Also you need a lot of material all at once. So I usually don't do hot compost.
The chicken compost is basically a form of cold compost. it's not in a big heap, and will therefore not get hot. Also the chickens will mix all the material, so you don't really have to do much. And you can always add material over time in small quantities.
Another great way to compost is vermiculture, composting with worms.
You make a box with a drain (for the garden you can use an old bathtub), add bedding material (leaves, newspaper..), composting worms (Asa foetida), some finished compost and kitchen scrabs. You can also add animal manure, but be careful with that.
The worms will again to the work for you and give you best! compost, worm tea (fertilizer) that drips out of the drain and worms of cause, that you can sell or feed to your chickens.

You will be fine as long as you build cairns every 50yds.

If you're in a national or state forest you can target practice to your hearts content as long as you're not being a dumbass about it.

Russians are fucking mean. I had one Russian hive and I couldn't go near it without a suit. The main reason people want Russian bees is for their ability to withstand cold weather, everything else is just like an Italian. It's already too late in the year to order a package colony so if you want one you're gonna have to go buy a nuc from someone, or wait til you see a feral swarm.

>>750247
That mean huh? That's pretty wild.
I'm hoping to get a nuc, going to a local beekeepers meeting in 2 weeks. May end up having to wait until next year though 'cause it seems that most folks preorder their nucs in the winter already.

>>750282
If you have any other questions do you have any social media you can hit me up on if you need something?

Totally depends on the area you're in. Sure some guys later in this thread would tell you about:
>The mysterous national park disappearances
>Wild animals
>Wild /k/anaks
>Shrooms being degenerate

It just totally depends on your area.

>>750185
Personally I wouldn't op, you never know what's going to happen and if I were you I would prefer to stay in a sound state of mind , few years ago me and some buddy's did the same after an exvergise while back at camp absolutely tripping balls and then got word that the co had decided to move the company back to the ex area and each section would be dropped off about ten k or so from a company patrol harbour that was being set up innawoods , full gear , noise and light discipline the whole way, absolutely sucked.

>>750306
Why the fuck would you take shrooms while in the military?

If you go bit southeast of Primm, you should be able to get some outside of town.

Basically you gotta ruck it all on your back, unless you wanna dig for water but it's unlikely you'd be able to dig far enough to reach underground sources of water since its the Mojave after all.

Pic is where I went earlier. You can't see the whole island but there were thousands of these water birds on one island going crazy.

Thinking about getting into it as well. I love watching birds.

>>750019
I'm getting into it but they are so different IRL from the pics. And yes, this board is appropriate. We enjoy being out and everything related

A sports chalet near me closed about 1.5 years ago and a sports authority bought it and took over. Sports authority closed after less than a year. I wasn't sad. Their "store closing" blowout sales were an absolute joke. Everything was %10 off of original price. No deals whatsoever. They can all go outta business for all I care. I go to consignment shops and thrift stores to find all my /out/ gear

>>749968

What's a consignment shop?

>>750002
its a pawn shop for poor people

wish my county would list the info for free... gotta go to the stupid office to get any information.

I saw a program for garmin, but they wanted like $100 for it...if I can't find anything, I'm just going to get some good prints from google maps and make an overlay for the approximate plot areas

the larger cities have the info, but the smaller cities and townships just don't have the resources for it...

there are a number of trusts that own huge chunks of land next to a nearby river, but luckily there are strips of land owned by the county and utility company that cut through the lots....it's nearly all forested areas except for where it's been cleared for power lines

That sort of stuff is pretty much GIS domain. I've never heard of an application that does it. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist though.
