Which supplier did you use previously? I would like their contact details.

Just out of interest, what is the usual method of poisoning a tree in NZ? Do they just sidle up to it and pour something on the ground next to it or do you have to inject something? Is the commonly used agent traceable to likely points of purchase?

Maybe whats lacking is the sense of existential security people had in the past. Not financial security, but a kind of moral certainly, a faith in the fundamental stability of society and cultural norms and so on. That's gone, probably since the invention of the bomb, more so since the information age - where "culture" can change so radically from one year to the next. It's pretty stressful.

The Stihl electric commercial pressure washers are supposed to be reliable.

Aldi had a fikarsx27 clone there awhile back, a friend bought it and said it was good. We have three x7 hatchets, they're excellent, came with free sharpeners that also do knives.

I'll see your flip-flop and raise you a paddle-steamer... [ame] [/ame]

Is the Trakmet reliable? Looked at some youtube vids of the machines, seems the Trakmet is more versatile and easier on the back. Still a lot to be said for old school simplicity though, and it's getting harder to find.

If you have a lot of very rough boards to do, you could hire a walk-behind floor sander. Foot wide belt, savage power.

Why not make your own safe? 3mm mild steel sheet is not expensive, bit of angle for the edges, drill and bolt or weld if you can. Could be a fun project for the holiday season to escape from the bedlam. Or buy an old riveted steel plate fuel tank like they used to have on farms - cut a door, hangers inside for gear - and it just looks like an old tank - hidden in plain view.

So, what's the Female equivalent of lumbersexual?

Always put a piece of tape over the camera on your laptop or phone - some phones have 2, and one of them is pointing at your face, capturing every treacherous micro-expression as you feast you eyes on....instructions how to kill infidels...or whatever.

Way I read it, not going after the Clintons is taking the high road: I leave you alone - you leave me alone. He's right to not to go there, thats a job for his minions and allies. Get on with fixing the mess, its the grown up way. Hopefully people with less important positions will pursue Hill-Bill, and the rest of the gang.

Way I understand it, Tor does what it says on the tim, unless the people who want to snoop you have really really high end skills and hardware, and reealy want to snoop you. The resources available for those kind of snooping jobs are not infinite, so they will be picking their victims. But if you use it for logging onto Facebook and stuff like that - you just blew it! Best way to retain privacy online is use a generic non-warrantied smartphone - buy it disguised, glue on beard, fake nose, wide hat and shades, there are cameras over the till and they have face recognition software. Never use it in the same place twice. And use code words.

I wish we had a second amendment...I'd quite like a handheld M134-minigun like in Predator - yeeeeha! Sometimes when Im alone in the woods with my 461 with wraparound handle, I like to pretend....

Id say if you hit them with roundup a couple of times theres a good chance the problem will resolve itself. Plants need light to grow, the weeds that are coming up are running on energy stored in their roots/bulbs. Once the roots are dead its over, but organic material will eventually accumulate in the gravel and seeds will germinate in it, so the gravel will eventually become like a layer of soil anyway. It will need spraying a couple of time per year no matter what - that would have always been the case anyway.

I'll check the quadcopter forums. If he's still alive I might even register and stalk him. Could be fun....

Nah, the electoral collage works well. The USA is not a country, but a federation of States. Some of those states are small, with massive urban populations, whereas others are large with small populations or mostly rural agricultural types. The needs of the 'minorities' in this case, the people who actually grow the food, harvest the timber, mine the minerals and so on, are vastly different to the needs of the urban coastal populations. If the POTUS was decided by majority every time, the urban centers, which lean Democrat for various reasons, would dictate policy over the heartland in perpetuity. The electoral collage system may not be as relevant now as it was back in the day, but its actually fairer then outright majority. Cities have wide scope for setting their own bylaws, taxes and so on anyway, so the reverse doesn't hold true.

I predict the next big thing in self-developement for men will be actual lumberjack camps for recovering lumbersexuals. Real Work - the final frontier... Pay through the nose-ring to camp out with other web developer guys in the woods, learn to do manly things with axes and maybe build something out of logs. All under the fatherly care of a genuine retired lumberjack.

Nuts. I thought this was going to be another controversy filled thread about US politics...oh well.
-
If we consider the repeat voters, illegal immigrant votes and whatever other skullduggery the Dems pulled, Trump has likely won the (real) popular vote as well, by several million.

You mentioned that you were grounded for a number of years due to injury - shoulder presumably. If this is a factor that could recurr, think hard about whether it's worth the risk. Shoulders are a bugger to fix when they go bad. Reg Coats recently did a video about converting to SRT and how it saved his back. Might be relevant. Also horses can be utilised in woodland management as low impact extraction option.

This is such a good thread - it really makes one appreciate life! Tomorrow, when I get some line in my glove and feel like I should have tried harder in school, I'll just think of pounding stakes in a blizzard, or that tractor, and everything will be good again!
