Dragonflys live as nymphs before they hatch into adults. They can live for up to 4 years as a nymph, and they are voracious predators. They have an extendable jaw which they use to fuck shit up with.
The adults you see flying around only live for 2 months. Learning there lifecycle made me appreciate them so much more.

I see them all the time fishing, or rather damsel flies.
Normally mating. Sometimes I'd see a bunch of them stacked on some topwater vegetation. That's when a fish tends to come up and try and snatch one.

They love to check out my rod and line, sometimes landing on it. Rarely upon my shoulder

Compost Ingredients, Recipes & Tips!

Anonymous Sun 20 Aug 05:59:12 2017 No.1084982 View Reply Original Report Download thread

Quoted By:

Any Composters here?

Free, bulk sources of compostable ingredients:
- Used coffee grinds (ask local cafe, high nitrogen)
- Pine shavings (ask local pet stores that sell birds CAUTION may contain antimicrobials fed to birds)
- Dry leaves (mulching speeds composting)
- Lawn clippings (contains seeds, mulch compost heavily when used)

General Rules:
- Add a mix of dry (carbon) and green (nitrogen) ingredients to get compost cooking quickly.
- Turning compost speeds decomposition
- Add worms after temperature drops and the pile will start to become worm castings

I fucking love sailing.
I crew on an XP-33, pic semi-related (not this exact boat).

But yeah, if people are interested in sailing then you've got two real options:
>Crew on a keelboat (free, but might be harder to find a team)
>Buy a dinghy (will cost a couple thousand)

Just start with a Pacer or something. You can get them for practically nothing and they're the perfect boat to learn on.

No idea sorry, there's just so many of them.

There are a bunch of etchells at my club, you might like them. They're pretty hard to sail apparently, but you probably wouldn't have any trouble moving from dinghies. Apart from that there are always stars, they used to be in the olympics but beyond that I don't think I've even seen one.

Maybe try crewing on someone else's boat for a while? There's never a shortage of skippers looking for crew.

What does /out/ think of the Mountain Light XT 2? Is it good and worth the money?

It's on sale right now and I can get it down to $117 with a few coupons.But I don't know anything about tents.
My goals with it would be some light camping in national/state parks for a few days and perhaps section hiking the Appalachian Trail.

We usually have floodwaters that are around 30 feet above "normal" water line, here in the St. Louis area (Mississippi, Missouri, Big, and Meramec rivers and literally hundreds of unnamed creeks, drainage ditches, levee channels, canals, etc).

Last year and this spring were particularly bad floods, the Meramec set a new all-time high water level of 47 feet of flood.

When I say that frontage land will flood, it WILL fucking flood.

Winter has always been my favorite season for most outdoor activities. Sleeping on top of a few feet of snow is the comfiest ground bed you'll ever sleep on.
Also, its pretty much the only season you can pack a thermos of hot chicken broth with you to drink. Anyone who has never tried this is missing out. Hot cocoa, and coffee are nowhere near as delicious.

Each season is better in their own ways for personal reasons.
Winter can have unbearable weather, and many activities get paused. However winter is good for areas that get weeded over in the summer. Good for exploring (when snow n ice isn't on ground perhaps)

Summer is good for water sports and any out activiy as long as you stay cool and shaded. Bugs and overgrowth make it rough however.

Both transition seasons are typically just the two mixed together. I'd say spring is the best for doing rough outings while fall is best for relaxing.

You can make the same thing for pretty cheap if you can DIY at all. Balancing the USB 5v power is about as hard as it gets and that's not hard at all since everything is LEGOs these days. Peltier modules are really cheap too. If you know how to use a rivet gun, you are all set. You can even make it large and collapsible. However, if you need charging power and don't want to use a dinky stove, you can just whip up a Peltier charger that you can shove one end into any fire or heat source, regardless of the heat source's output or stove style.

The main reason those are so expensive is that they use a Peltier module that is rated for higher temperatures. If you DIY one, you can use a Peltier module rated for lower temps, which is really inexpensive, but that means it needs to be no higher than its rated temp on the hot side. Which means you place it further away from the heat source. It is a bit of a trade off, but you have the option of slapping several Peltier modules in series/series-parallel on it to get whatever volts/amps you want.

I don't own one, thus I'm not a good authority on how well it performs. I do know that their latest version is better than the 1st version due to all the feed back people have been giving them.

>Are there any better or similar wood stoves.

With the charging feature? No clue, without googling. I can recommend a rocket stove. The ones I've used work really well. For stick burning, just about any of those sheet metal folding stoves work well enough; if you don't mind a sooty cooking vessel.

>>1087465
The difference between the two of us is that I have all those tools and supplies. I even have the Peltier modules. I've not made one simply because I need to order an IR thermometer gun ($25-$30). So that I'll know the max temps of the surface areas I want to slap the modules on. I need one of those anyway for other projects.
