I live not far from here, im upsetti spaghetti, whats a nigga to do in order to stop this senseless abuse of the natural world
>>2852344It wont be a public roads. That said, roads are permanent so eventually, the road will probably see public use.>>2848558NTA but I live in the Arctic near where this is happening. People live up here annon. >>2844788The Arctic is the weather machine for the northern hemisphere. Everyone should care about what’s going on up here. >>2844825Kill yourself.
>>2844731There’s a difference between how the public uses the term “wilderness” and how conservation agencies define “Wilderness”. Many places that are not designated Wilderness are still wilderness as far as they function and how the public conceives of them. “Wilderness” as designated by conservation agencies refers to specific lands protected by the wilderness act of 1964.I don’t think most journalists or even anctivists are intentionally being misleading with the use of that language. It’s a very common term used to describe all kinds of natural places and besides, in this case, there’s virtually no functional difference between the land that has been designated Wilderness by the BLM/NPS and the land that has not except for that the former has laws theoretically protecting it from resource extraction. The caribou don’t care about an arbitrary line on a map that designates one side as Wilderness and one as not. For all intents and purposes, the Arctic is largely completely roadless (red dog mine road being an exception and a good comparison to the proposed Ambler road) and therefore extremely wild.
>>2852893just have to contact the mine operator and agree to their radio control protocols.
>>2852897Even the locals here who are for the road are very concerned about outsiders coming down the road and fucking up their subsistence. I’m sure the agreement made with the mining company is going to include a requirement for them to strictly enforcement access to the road.But like I said, roads are permanent. The company may successfully keep the public off it for the 40-50 years it operates but who knows what’ll happen after that.

i've been meaning to get into marine ecology and hunting/fishing
I’m a professional environmental geologist. During college I took paleontology and stratigraphy. It would be cool to get back into that kind of stuff as a hobby.
>>2851756I'm a Geo and Paleo major in college. I want to focus on late cretaceous ammonites like pic related that I found
Is hunting yuru?
>>2852917Eh... I guess I'll accept your concession. You tried.

i want to build a birdhouse in central Oklahoma using spare wood in my garage.
I want any US congressman or senator with duel citizenship to renounce their second country. They should be loyal the USA alone.

Does anyone have experience growing mushrooms in compost? I know it's possible, probably not optimal, but I don't really want to get whole new setups and source some manure or anything. I've read how grains are often the ideal starter so my plan is to just cook a couple cups of barley, let it cool, and then generously mix it into some of my homemade compost (good stuff) with a bunch of grain spawn, keep it moist and covered for a while and see what happens - just hoping for a little feedback on the plan, i don't want to spend hours on YT trying to find someone whose done specifically that.I can cope with a little failed experiment in the garden here and there but i could get like 10 seed packets for the price of the mushroom spawns I'm a bit less gung-ho about it. I half-arsed started growing food last year and I've impressed myself with how much I've produced. I'm still a noob but I'm looking to really double down next year and I'm definitely interested in growing some mushies
>>2852235To use grain to create grain spawn to grow mushrooms, you first need a clean mycelium culture of the mushrooms you want to grow and sterilized cooked grain. You would then add this culture to the grain and allow it to completely cover your grain and then add that to a substrate. If you just throw cooked grain into your compost, it'll just get eaten by faster reproducing microorganisms like bacteria and mold.It is possible to grow mushrooms in compost, but it's not the best substrate for them because it's already colonized by bacteria, mold and mycelium from the environment. A fresh bed of wood chips or straw would work better. FYI, most mushrooms do not want or need manure to grow. Most commercially grown mushrooms are spawned to grain and added to a substrate of coco coir and vermiculite.Check out shroomery.org. Look for teks in the gourmet and medicinal mushroom sub forum.
>>2852235not sure if youre still here or what but make sure your compost is finished decomposing and sterile. wait for it to look and smell ok and then put it in a bucket (metal preferred but not necessary) and fill the bucket with boiling water and leave it covered until you wont burn yourself when you touch it. after this you can put your mulch in a tub or whatever and add the grain spawnthe other anons advice is also sound

I am surprised they let you bring a whole walrus head on a plane
>>2852948Stowed and properly preserved, yeah.
>>2849478I had an excellent daydream the other day.You know all those dead walruses that are rotting away on those outward little sea islands? Imagine going there with a hammer and a knife and harvesting all that walrus tusk ivory. Just imagine how much wealth is just laying there in a pile of rotting blubber! It would be such an adventure to go to those spots and come back with a duffel bag full of tusks. Send some to Rolex as a watch dial.
Moving to Madison soon, so how would you guys rate Wisconsin? I did quite a bit of fishing there growing up, which was fantastic, but what about everything else? Hiking, homesteading, skiing, etc. I've heard are all pretty good there.
>>2847127The best skiing if you are in Wisconsin is at Mt Bohemia in the U.P. near Lac La Belle. Lots of lake effect snow from lake superior. Its all glades though and no groomed trails. Granite peak in Wausau and snowriver in Michigan are also pretty good for midwest skiing if you are looking for large acreage and groomed trails.
>>2850488there was a big controversial article in the NYT about that place last winter I thinkbasically the article is a glowing puff pieceand then a lot of the reviews suggested the resort itself was dangerous and that the owners deliberately skimp on maintenance (people who actually live in the area) because they are cheapskates and the "but at least its not groomed!" thing is used as a cope to offer a poor environment
I live in downtown Chicago but was raised in Da Yoop (by wolves no less) and have my Plan B there which came in handy during the St. Floyd riots and covid hysteria.Folks point to the harsh weather and wilderness, but the true issue in Da Yoop, especially in June, is the bugs. Mama biting insect requires large amounts of mammalian blood to keep her brood alive. You are the food source. It's horrid, painful; they drive moose and elk to death avoiding them. And then there are your new best friends, the ticks ...Unlike anywhere else, for sure. 'consin is a picnic in comparison, in fact, it's pretty darn comfy. God's Country. In a word, Kreusening
>>2850490i mean the lifts are pretty dated but it just gets dumped with snow regularly. the non-groomed trails are really just cat tracks to different sections of glades, nobody but beginners (who shouldn't be there) goes down the ungroomed (non-glade) trails.when there hasn't been snow for a week i would agree it gets to be pretty bad conditionsits also like 120 bucks for a season pass (on sale this wednesday), cant beat that.
>>2847323Those are national parks ...
As it turns out these make for awful winter tires and my body on the right side hurts a lot now.Ice might be evil.
>>2852618Ice and snow traction relies on edges making mechanical contact with irregularities. You don’t weigh enough to generate sufficient traction using CoF. Cars don’t weigh enough to make sufficient traction with CoF. And slick tires are better in the dry because of reduced deflection and better mechanical resilience allowing you to use a more aggressive compound without worrying about mechanical failure of compound, not because area means anything to the friction equation.Also protip: CoF of a given rubber compound changes with temp, sticky summer racing tires are hockey pucks in the cold.
>>2852630I think the studs help more than the tread.
>>2852618thick slicks need to be at ~60 psi, anything that will grip off-road or on ice at all will be ~20 psi at most.
>>2852507I can't believe people are this retarded it's 100% a bait thread

Hi guys! I've been living in my tiny VW Polo from the start of May this year in order to save on accomodation costs(rent, utilities etc.) and i've been very successful so far, travelling around my country and doing odd jobs through online hubs and such. I've used a butane heater, which puts out 4k-7k BTUs so far, but it's a hassle because of the condensation.(The canisters are very cheap though, like 1,2 Euro in bulk/ each lasting 4-5 hours). My car is too small for a diesel heater setup. Having a kerosene lamp would put out toxic fumes. Using graveyard candles isn't efficient enough. Electric blanket would starve my car battery at -5C. Butane moisture will freeze at -5C, making it difficult to open windows and doors in the morning. Idk, i'm searching for cheap options since in 2-3 days the weather will drop from 4C to -3C and will remain constantly freezing. Is using mord blankets and such really the only solution?
>>2852823Define 'cheap'. A sleeping bag that works in -5C, long thermo underwear and a warm hat should be well enough for as low as -10C, since you're pretty well isolated and protected from wind and weather in your car. If you can leave two opposing windows open (only a slit), moisture shouldn't be a big issue, either.All the best anon, I hope you'll get back on your feet soon.
>>2852823i would always go to hotels and truck stops that had plugs for trucks block heaters and i would plug in an extension cord and run it to my car and run a little space heater

Was watching old Good Eats reruns, and Alton started cooking a flank steak directly on hot coals with no barrier. Anyone ever try that before? I feel like the meat would get caked in ash.
>>2852704Seems unnecessary when we have sticks laying around.
>>2852704You have to blow away the ash right before setting the steak on the coals, but like >>2852709 said, there's no point to it unless you have literally nothing to put the steaks on except the coals.
>>2852709>>2852731His reasoning was it stops fat flare ups by eliminating the circulation between the heat source and the meat.
>>2852687nice littel grill, anon.
