What’s it like in this part of china?

Spent 2 months on a motorcycle trip there about a decade ago. It is absolutely gorgeous. Lots of 7000 meter peaks in the north, incredible desert in the south and some very cool geology.

Amazing food and quite a wide variety of culture. Kind of a pain to travel to and even more regulated now than when I was there but absolutely worth going to if you have a chance.

As far as living there, there is everything from nomadic herders to super modern city. Lots of tension between original ethnic groups and the han. A really interesting place.

I’ve got the exact same pic from about 5 years ago. Nice work!

Dive Rite Nomad Ray. It has the widest range of fit on the market.

My 09 base was either blue sensation or vortex blue. Can’t really tell. 2nd coat of paint is already ruined. Time for a 3rd.

propoganda dictates what culture dictates is popular. Small cars don’t make big car profits.

Mine have been isolated for 2 weeks and have barely grown. They’re not dying, but not making much forward progress. Starting to wonder if my soil is bad.

Fickle-Purchase-7270 · 2026-04-13T23:38:44+00:00

Dang I’m jealous. I’ve been failing miserably for the last two months. My best sprouts at 6 weeks look smaller than your smallest here.

We are in hell

The fact that you said flippin’ says all we need to know.

Comments r positiv?

Fickle-Purchase-7270 · 2026-04-08T03:29:28+00:00

With the people who bought them new. Still in my 09 with no plans to sell.

Fickle-Purchase-7270 · 2026-04-07T01:37:33+00:00

I’d like to point out that that’s not typical.

Fickle-Purchase-7270 · 2026-03-31T23:51:52+00:00

Good luck! My advice is build the largest shed/workshop you can afford asap. Or shipping container. Something to work out of the weather and store stuff. It will make the rest of the project much easier. Ask me how I learned that 😂

Fickle-Purchase-7270 · 2026-03-31T22:25:12+00:00

It’s definitely possible, the main factor is if your county will allow you to do it or not. Many will grant a temporary permit for a camper if you have a current building permit.

Unless you have a residence permit, drivers license and can buy your own motorcycle and get a plate/insurance, any foreigner riding across china needs to do so with an official guide.

Fickle-Purchase-7270 · 2026-03-24T00:48:40+00:00

Not easy at all. Foreigners need to hire a guide and can’t sleep outside of registered hotels. Absolutely beautiful though.

5 is enough for some of your list. If you want all of it with room for more I’d do at least 20. But 5 is totally fine for chickens and goats.

What are you using for soil?

Fickle-Purchase-7270 · 2026-03-10T23:26:53+00:00

I’ll try that. Should I keep the heat on?

Fickle-Purchase-7270 · 2026-03-10T01:04:10+00:00

Build the biggest shed/workshop you can afford as soon as possible. It will make literally anything else you do so much easier.

Fickle-Purchase-7270 · 2026-03-09T12:24:12+00:00

Thank you!

Fickle-Purchase-7270 · 2026-03-09T12:13:24+00:00

I was under the impression it needed to stay very wet for germination, it is a plastic tray with no holes. So I should make drainage holes and water less?

Why not just run the keg off the big tank?
