Quote from odd man out: “when I was a kid we would visit my grandfather's farm in NE. They had a real windmill that pumped well water into an elevated wooden cistern, that would flow by gravity into the house. When water came out of the overflow spigot at the top of the cistern, you would shut off the windmill by tuning a crank that pulled a cable to rotate the windmills tail so it would not face the wind, and stop the pump. When the water pressure in the hose got low, you would turn it back on.…

Shallow roots, saturated ground... ” When buying my first house my dad's advice was to not count pine trees (at least not as…

Quote from jimmyjam: “This is why I like to cook and eat at a shelter and then hike on until I find a stealth spot. The only animal that's ever bothered me at night has been a group of deer because I unknowingly camped in the middle of their browsing patch. ” I did this some in Maine. Allowed me to spend the night on a mountain top without carrying water. Then head down to the next shelter for breakfast in the morning. And if the weather cooperates you get some good views. Also the food gave me …

Quote from hikerboy: “Quote from Traffic Jam: “GSMNP is doing a study on what happens to relocated bears. Preliminary data shows that 2/3 are dead within 4 months by various means…harvested, hit by cars, etc. Such a shame. ” What's more of a shame is that there are annual bear hunts in many eastern states that kill thousands of bears each year. A habituated, nuisance bear is the one that needs to be down., but bear hunts don't discriminate. ” Strikingly similar to gun control.
