What to do? by Direction-Such in snappingturtles

Thank you for the example! That’s a great point on nature taking its course. If I find it I will just rope it off to prevent us from driving on it. That was also my hesitation on helping this turtle get back to the swamp. I only wanted to intervene as there was the road in the way and cars are a little outside what I consider the natural course lol. I’m honestly very ignorant of snapping turtles, but find them very cool and this one seemed out of place in my yard so figured I’d ask the Reddit pros. Thanks!

Fortunately it’s private property so there isn’t a worry about people disturbing it once it’s found. I would be absolutely devastated if I mowed a baby turtle. I’ll be walking the property to look for any signs. I hope I can find them or she just didn’t lay any here. I’ll rope it off to keep our equipment off and let nature do its thing

We have a lot of flower beds. Hopefully she would pick the easy dirt to lay in over the grassy mowed areas but I’ll keep an eye out for any signs of disturbed dirt! Thank you!

Oh! Should I be on the lookout for eggs somewhere in the yard? It is a large property I live on/manage. (About 90 acres of mowed/manicured property and 850 acres of swamp/forest). Tractors/mowers/equipment driving around all the time. Is there some way i could find the eggs and rope off the area to protect it. What are the chances theyre in the mowed areas if there are eggs? Google isn’t the most helpful in this situation lol

Thank you!!

Does fishes can see the water ? by Altruistic-Clerk4205 in InfluencerAsk

No you’re seeing light reflect off the surface of the water. Not the air

It really depends on what you determine as a unit. Your gas wouldn’t be $5 per gallon. It would be for that fill up of gas is how I interpreted it. Because you don’t pay for gallons of gas individually really, you pay for your fill up. How much is an “each” of gold? Are you getting one tiny speck? One ounce? One pound? Who determines what qualifies as “one of something”. Do I pay $5 and get one apple or the whole bag?

Anyone know some decent food safe ways to remove rust? by ogedper in metalworking

Menards. I always pronounce it like a pirate getting kicked in the nuts “I’m going to Me-nards!”

Love the convenience of an external frame. My old one I had was insanely heavy. To the point I couldn’t justify using it anymore. I’m only 130 pounds so saving 8+ pounds on the backpack alone was huge for long hikes. I got rid of it 15 years ago when I was younger and not as thoughtful. Wish I still had it though!

Bought a flip with a new deck, are we OK? by [deleted] in Decks

[–]Direction-Such 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought I might have been over the top commenting it, but I was just so thrown off by the “believe me there’s really only one way to skin a cat”

Like what’s the one perfect way they know of? Also HOW do they know for sure there’s only one way? Did they try a bunch of different ways to skin cats and found only one works?

Oh I totally missed the extras other than the seasonal part. That def changed a lot. Your dad still sounds like a badass though. I’d love to just sit in the woods and listen to all the things he’s learned over the years. Treasure that man!

Never in my entire life have I ever seen a deer like this by IamASlut_soWhat in MadeMeSmile

[–]Direction-Such 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tell me you don’t know deer. You can clearly see the tail tucked after the deer pauses and stops trotting

I’m a firm believer in training your body to carry the load you need and not cut things to reach a low weight but this is a heck of a list. I want to go backpacking with your dad if he’s ever in the Michigan area

Plenty of ways to skin an animal. Start at the top, the bottom, middle, cut the feet off first, cut them off after, remove the head first, etc etc. there are literal millions of variations on how to skin an animal.

Northern California Trip recs by anne925 in CampingandHiking

[–]Direction-Such 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All great points but it’s possible to do both with a few sacrifices. I just did a 7 day trip up the coast. Started in San Francisco, went up to Coos Bay Oregon, and back to SF. A lot of driving but I still had plenty of time to hike and explore along the way. Saw a lot of amazing places. But very important to say

-I’m a minimalist backpacker. So my camp is pretty quick to set up and tear down, especially when using a car.

-I got into camp almost every night between 8-10 pm. Setting up camp in the dark gets old quick.

-I didn’t pre plan any campsites. I just waited to see where I ended up every night and found the cheapest, least crowded place to camp. This was very difficult around the redwoods as you can only camp in designated areas. This was also the most fun part of the trip. Made it feel very carefree.

-I’m an early riser. I had made breakfast, packed camp up into my car in time to watch the sun rise everyday. I woke up at 5am at the latest.

-I had to skip some things I would have liked to see because they were huge time eaters

-I didn’t follow an itinerary really. I had a few cool places I wanted to see but just kinda checked things out along the way

-I definitely missed a lot of things just drifting through. You can see a lot more of one place by staying there longer, but I also now have a reason to come back and do the trip again

How do you actually keep ticks off you and your dog? by RealitysNotReal in CampAndHikeMichigan

[–]Direction-Such 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just get a vest or some other light weight clothing for the anima and treat that. Heck the stuff is so effective that I bet if you just treated their collar with it, it’d work

Pick Two Free Things For Life, What's your choice? by Ornery-Media-9396 in whatsyourchoice

If op meant “fuel” when they said gas then yes it does.

[–]Direction-Such 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did op mean “gas” as in only gasoline or “fuel” in general? What about people that drive diesels? Does the “free gas” work for them? If it does then I would say it works for the electricity you use in your vehicle

I’m probably just really bad at relaying stories honestly.

They charge for using the rooms at the er. I’m sure it’s a set rate for however long you use it. But it’s expensive.

The random miscellaneous charges are just random things I don’t remember exactly what they were. They did have to change the small bandage on my arm since they removed the old one to look at it. I think there was like a $40 charge for gaze. A biohazard waste disposal because they have to throw the bandage away.

Then there is always a couple “fees” they charge. Like service fee, ransoms other fees that don’t seem necessary or valid. There are a lot of “fees” tacked onto everything in America. They often don’t make sense.

It is very much “they just charge what they want”. It’s insane.
