Thanks! I feel a little guilty about wanting honeybees rather than something native, but I'd really like to be able to gather some honey and beeswax. And yeah as far as as flowhives go, I'm inherently skeptical of anything that looks like it's promising to take away a bunch of the work. Would you recommend warre hives?
>>
>>2712692
Yes, it's awkward when people think we are "saving the bees"...
Warré are okay but if I were to start again, I'd just copy my mentor's system the first few seasons. They have an entirely different work strategy, I think it's only a good idea if you find a guy who uses them.

If your concerned about native pollinators, why not include some native bee houses on your property and actively grow a wildflower garden? I have a few beehouses on my property and have never had issues with my bees :)
>>
>>2713043
Good idea, I wanted to grow more native plants in place of empty grass anyways.

What's the most interesting geocache you've found? There's one in my local area that's inside of an old bit of stone piping that I haven't had the balls to go collect yet.

I wandered off a trail last year and stumbled upon this ammo can buried under some rocks. The cache itself is just a logbook, but I was completely stoked that I found some neat little secret thing by wandering around the wilderness.

1. Anyone here tried growing mushroom buckets before? It takes up a small area and the amount of food produced (allegedy) makes it enticing

2. Would they grow in hot weather or would they just die out? Gets to 40C here in Summer, pretty hot even in full shade.
My idea is to put some towers under some shade cloth and plastic sheets (to retain moisture)

3. Could I start propagating mushrooms from those grow box kits? No one ships mycelium here except as those.
Thought I could let it grow to the first flush, then break it apart into buckets.
>>
>>2712055
>Anyone here tried growing mushroom buckets before?
I haven't tried using buckets like that, but I have grown some mushrooms. Read "Growing Mushrooms the Easy Way" by R Rush Wayne

>Would they grow in hot weather or would they just die out? Gets to 40C here in Summer, pretty hot even in full shade.
Depends on the species. If you're growing outside then you will need to be aware of the season the mushrooms fruit in. If you're growing indoors then you just need to simulate the fruiting conditions.

>Could I start propagating mushrooms from those grow box kits?
Sure. You can also use mushrooms from the store, either by harvesting the spores, or by cloning the stem. Try reading "Mycelium Running" and "Radical Mycology" for tips on both. There are several other books you can read that go in depth into specific mushroom species and how best to care for them.

Also, if you're sterilizing your medium then you can use uncharged biochar in place of peat or vermiculite. If you can't find or make biochar buy some lump charcoal and crush it to the right grade.

There are private companies that have the primary focus of trail construction and maintenance.
Usually parks and agencies will contract these businesses to build trails or they will have volunteers from various organizations building them.
From my experience, state agencies will usually have their park/land maintenance staff maintain the trail with the help of volunteer groups, sometimes there might hurt be a dedicated trail guy or two whose job is to care for the trails, but that’s usually a seasonal gig.
If you want to make money and have a, it’s in the whole trail design process, management, bureaucracy side of things. Typically agencies and cities with large enough metro park systems will have someone who designs and plans trail projects, although this is also outsourced to private companies as well.

He's right though. Why do you get so offended at the mere suggestion that pliers and screw drivers aren't run of the mill gear for the outdoors? What do you even use them for (aside from fishing, which is addressed here >>2712906)

Speaking generally, why do people on /out/ get so angry and emotional over who uses what gear? Chill out. Sounds like you need some fresh air and sun lil nigga.

I have a pair of gerber pliers and they have a spring that opens them back up. It's so much better than my leatherman with normal floppy pliers. I have used the two in combination with the leatherman to hold the bolt and the gerber to tighten the nut a ton of times. You don't need a multitool, you need at least two.

I haven't looked into it at all and am not an attorney but I think owl box law could be the wild west. Who's to say you can't put a family of mice in your owl box? Having an owl in your yard is like having a smoking hot wife, not everyone can be soulmates sometimes you have to pay to play.

How do you know you're on 4Chan? Someone will mention trannies lol! Ah yes the studies that say "possible," "maybe" and say "more studies needed." Or I could do what white people do and wear nothing and get skin cancer and look like a dried prune. No thanks. Out of all my high school friends that I have kept in touch I'm the only one that doesn't require medication, no major health issues, no eyeglasses, full set of hair and still wear the same size pants when I was in my 20s and have good metabolism.

I'm currently a neet that wants to become /out/ fag. My life has pretty much consisted of me sitting in my room watching Japanese cartoons and staying in the safe zone. I started trying new thing like going out to eat new stuff and really loved it. I live in Europe and had no idea my country has some beautiful /out/ spaces. I wanna visit them all, while I'm still funemployed I would like to see and learn something new and experience life and nature. What do you suggest, I have been thinking of visiting some cool nature park that I never knew it existed. I'm planning to go alone, I lurked for a bit here and saw a lot of camping thread. I never did it and I feel like it's not common i Eu. Keep on mind that Im really anxios about going places and stuff, how do I begin my journey?

1. start going for at least 1 walk every single day, no matter what. doesn't matter if its short. do it every. single. day.
2. based on conditions learn what gear you need
3. over time walk longer and in different places.

A beautiful Saturday following the river. Robins and bluebirds were out and first fence lizard of the year spotted. A pair of spring coyote pups bounded along the path. Met a fellow out fishing for early channel cats, no dice though. Wet snow falling today so I shall stay /in/ and roast a chicken

This thread is for hobomaxxing

The southwest/florida season is almost over boys, do any nice odd jobs? Hope ya didn't stay too drunk!

Where are we headed next? Thinking the Lake Tahoe/Reno area until the summer comes.

Yes, you can get work without an address. Stick to landscaping and construction work. Craigslist is your friend. Sometimes warehouses work. Farm work is great whenever you find it. Yes. a true hobo works, and in fact works a lot.

Strongly considering a few seasons on a fishing boat.

Weather map shows current daily low temp conditions for the united states, as you can see we are only a couple weeks away from the majority of the U.S. being rather comfortable. I, for one, am a seasonal hobo. A nomad if you will. I prefer to travel with the seasons. Hobos that stay in one region are welcome ITT too of course. Any body that lives outdoors full time or for a long time.

how does the government respond to homeless people typically having kids in america
>>
>>2712975
CPS (child protective services) gets involved, and CPS agents are typically women who grew up in fucked up homes and never got proper mental help at anytime after, and thus it's mentally ill vs the mentally ill, except one of them has government backing and the other is some blend of retarded.

If I had to guess CPS would only bother you if you were hoboing around a mostly nice area.
You think they'd give much of a fuck if there was worse things happening to kids around your mostly normal family innaghetto or if it's a bitch to find you innawoods?
