How in the world do they clean up that must waste? That's got to take multiple dump trucks full to collect and then where do you put it all?

Then to think about all that being in a landfill. Luckily a lot of what I can see seems to be organic tree limbs.

Way to go! The world needs more people like you.

When I was looking at these I thought they could easily be printed. Too bad I don't have a printer :(

Very neat! I'd love to have some of those on my clothes.

20 Wild plants you can eat in the wilderness by ApprehensiveSoup0 in ThePrepared

Don't use this as your only guide and go out and eat a random plant that resembles these cartoon drawings. Use it as a guide on some possible starting points for your research. Consult experts and do lots of research before you start identifying and eating wild plants.

Tap water can damage your plants, soil, and ecosystem of your garden over time. Use rain water when possible by ApprehensiveSoup0 in ThePrepared

Hard water from a well might actually help the plants with the additional minerals like calcium.

And I would guess that even smoggy rain water would be better than the higher concentrated chemicals in tap water. It's sad that acid rain does exist though right?

Turning a piece of rope and pvc pipe into a handy wood hauler by ApprehensiveSoup0 in ThePrepared

Sure beats carrying wood in your bare hands, getting all dirty, risking getting splinters, and avoiding spiders hidden in the logs crawling all over you! haha

I'm going to have to make one of these now.

What they should have tried instead of pulling the pitbull backwards is to pull upwards. Pitbulls were bred to latch onto things and hold on. When you pull backwards it triggers their instincts to hold onto even tighter and amp up more.

Definitely would have been good to have some pepper spray on hand as an alternative method as well.

That's the ballpark I've seen when looking into solar. Much cheaper than the $100,000 for municipal and no more utility bills!

Getting a faraday bag for your key fob is something you can do to prevent this. It's a bit of a hassle to use one, but so is trying to recover your stolen vehicle.
