Daily reminder that even our king says that there is not an orange made that can perform as well as an apple while baking apple pie.

In what way is he our king and a wedge shaped bit of wood can do the job of knives and hatchets.

Do you take a tape measure with you on every hike?

>>625000
thank you. that was considerate of you.

>>625027
OP is clearly a forester, not just some hiker. And its a D- tape, not tape measure

>autism intensifies

It may work better if you chage your monies to foreign currency at a very bad exchange rate and the burn the foreign currency.

So much more chic that way!

Wouldn't hand jobs be more efficient since you can use the store/market's restroom hand soap after a secession?

/an/ might be the place to go to find out more about horses, riding tack and techniques specifically.
I know I love doing short outrides on horseback, never gone full exped with them though.
Your local library should be a treasure trove of good books on horses, they all seem to stock a truckload.

Just don't ask the /mlp/ folk about horses.

>>624496
/mlp/ here... Boy can I tell you horses are magic and there's a great friendship having your own po.. er, horse.

>>624500
All nor/mlp/eople eventually degrade to moving beyond the friendship stage with their horse friendo.

I remember your thread anon, I posted about one of our local parks losing acreage in spite of protest.
A.) You have too much white space on the page.
B.) If possible add some pics of points of interest in the proposed park area not just the satellite photo.
C.) QR code is a good idea, I'd also add a download link to whatever your final flier is for people to print out and share as well.
D.) Instead of "Let's Build a Park", how about "Preserve Some of our Wildlands" or something like that. Building a Park implies construction, where as Preserve will gain sympathy of /out/ types, liberals, green party etc.
E.) Black and White for cheap copies, also include numbers/addresses for congress people/local government to write letters to/call/e-mail

>>624348
Thanks bud. That's actually a helicopter shot from the realtors, not a satellite pic. But I get your point. I'll add the download link for those who don't know how to scan a QR code (old folks and such).

I really want to emphasize "Park", not wildlife or any green party malarkey. The park is already built, it just needs some TLC.

The great thing about the change.org petition is that once it gets 100 signatures, it goes to the CT House of Reps, Senate and Governor.

OP, have you contacted the company that owns the land to see if they would be interested in donating the land for a tax deduction?

I am a CPA and have seen clients donate land to cities for the write off. They are able to write off market value of the land, which comes in the form of an appraisal. This is almost always much more than they paid for the land. The tax benefits for donating this land are sometimes greater than if they sold it to the city.

Also, the city will probably not want to buy the land for a park, but donated land is a whole other prospect.

Black or with a little whiskey.

Whoever taught you that is an idiot.

>>624042

Yeah im starting to think that seeing how most fishermen release

>>624039
There's no denying that C&R causes some fish mortality. But a conscientious and careful fisherman will minimize that to a very, very low amount.

To minimize mortality consider the following points:
-Minimize handling of the fish
-If you have to pick it up, wet your hand first to remove less of its mucus membrane
Never put your fingers in its gills or hold it by the gill
-use a rubber net, not a cloth mesh one (takes off less slime)

-Do not fish with bait; use lures or flies
-Pinch your barbs
-Replace trebel hooks with single hooks
-Bring the fish in as quickly as possible, do not put it through an exhausting prolonged fight.
-If guthooked, just cut off your line this gives the fish it's best chance

-If the fish is bleeding badly and you're allowed to keep it, do so, it's not likely to survive

-If you really need photos, leave it in the water as long as possible, have your camera ready for a quick pic and then back in the water

>I just moved here over the summer

Get out pls.

>>624034
You have moved to the high desert. If you judge the quality of the wilderness by the amount of trees per acre, you might as well go back to where you came from.

Out west there are far less spots where its cool to gather firewood near your campsite.

>>624038
I know there are fewer spots, but does that mean there are zero spots? Is there anywhere in all Colorado I can just go set up a tent and find firewood nearby?

There are two situations to be outfitted for;

cold and wet; and fucking cold.

Softshells are great for cold and wet, which is most of the year but down is comfiest in the cold and dry.

The softshells which are loose enough to comfortably fit a significant down mid layer become more like ski jackets and are too bulky for daily activity.

Having a hood on your technical softshell is the best way to extend it's use nearly 4 seasons with over a simple midlayer, gloves and hat.

>>623791
>Personally, what is your layering set up, for what temp range
It really depends on what I'm doing and you have to experiment to find out what works for you. Running I generate a lot of heat so I don't wear much or I overheat. Usually wear a windbreaker walking to the park, which I take off within the first half-mile. Same for XC skiing. Cycling I need more insulation or a wind layer because I'm moving fast enough to make my own wind chill. Walking even more because i'm not generating as much heat.

>If it got too cold for your set up, what would you add
Usually another mid layer, or I go faster to warm up. But lately on winter bike rides I've strarted dressing so I'm comfortable without a wind shell (just wool and/or polar fleece). When I stop to eat or walk around I'm usually still comfortable because I'm not making my own headwind. If it gets colder I just need to throw on my windbreaker. Less stuff to carry that way.

> Do people wear multiple base layers for colder conditions?
I guess you could, usually when I double up it's because it's a bit too cold for a base on its own but not cold enough to warrant a fleece jacket (eg a technical T over long sleeve base when I'm running).

I do a couple of activities, and mostly use the same stuff for all of them. The insulation layer varies with temperature, the outer layer with weather and general conditions/activity.

Always cheap walmart/aldi tier synthetic base layers. They start to smell fast, but they do their job well and aren't as fragile or expensive as merino.

Always cheap milsurp polartec 200 fleece and some other walmart/aldi tier fleece as well as a couple of wool pullovers. The fleece longsleeves are in various thickness. The fleece is fucking amazing, especially considering that I paid $5 on average.

>summer/spring ski touring/snowboarding
softshell jacket, Goretex pants, thin gloves, etc. Usually no insulation layer on the legs, and rarely more than a thin fleece on the upper body

>Winter ski touring/snowboarding
When it gets down to -30°C with crazy winds, I still feel pretty comfortable with hardshell pants/jacket, and a polartec 200 fleece overall/longsleeve

>mountain hiking, mountaineering, trekking
Insulation layer variable depending on the temperature I'm expecting. A thin rainjacket as outer layer. Works well against wind and rain.
Often gaiters when I expect snow and usually underknee wool socks, except for warm summer days.
