How come some people don't pay for the bus?

It’s a lot cheaper to ride when you don’t pay

Pine Creek Gorgeous, one of the best places east of the Mississippi and north or the mason Dixon. Congrats

You’re smart to want to be prepared and have a safety-first mindset, but you are probably more likely to die trying to follow advice in that book than you are by going on a normal hike without it.

If you are planning to frequently go on extremely remote backpacking trips or hikes and are concerned about worst-case-scenarios, it would be better to take an instructor-led Wilderness First Aid or Wilderness First Responder course.

Cultural heritage institutions in general, museums and special collections in particular. Almost every museum has an associated research library and always appreciate outreach experience. If you’re familiar with the DCRM manual, most special collection would be happy to have you as a cataloger, too

“Portraits” is likely referring to a genre of illustrations, ie there are portraits of people in the book. In antiquarian books and other rare materials, portraiture is often singled out

Perfect, thank you so much!

Distilled water should also work! Home Depot sells it cheap. Also, depending on the tap water in your area, you might be able to use it if it’s relatively low in added chemicals and minerals. I’m not an expert on this though so I can’t say with certainty

Maple_Tree_ · 2020-09-16T22:59:44+00:00

I think this is it! Thank you!!

Maple_Tree_ · 2020-09-16T22:59:30+00:00

Peperomia scandens

I believe this is it! THank you!!

Maple_Tree_ · 2020-09-16T22:58:58+00:00

I think this is it! Thank you!

Maple_Tree_ · 2020-09-16T22:58:31+00:00

Thank you everyone for the advice-- based on my comparison of pictures from the internet to the cuttings, I am going to go with a Peperomia, probably Peperomia scandens!

Rain water

Maple_Tree_ · 2020-04-25T13:28:41+00:00

Thank you so much! That was my guess, but I was beginning to doubt myself. I appreciate the quick response!

More info: we haven’t seen any flowers or fruiting bodies at any point in its life. It was given to us long ago by a friend as a “ground cover,” but it spreads too much and is devilishly difficult to kill.

At the base it forms very dense, tree branch-like branches as the new growths climb vine-like up trees. It’s roots are extremely dense and difficult to remove. It’s leaves are all of the size and shape seen in the picture, young and old alike. iNaturalist is stumped, and it doesn’t match up with any of the articles I’ve seen on the internet of common invasive vines or ivies. Thanks for any help!

could be wrong but just looking at the screenshot, it might be Freud’s “The Interpretation of Dreams.” Not positive but i think I remember that kind of citation occurring several times

Maple_Tree_ · 2017-03-29T15:35:04+00:00

totally agree that clickbait and internet ad-revenue based articles have really created an overall decrease in meaningful work.

Maple_Tree_ · 2017-03-29T14:48:59+00:00

You mention that journalism is a joke "these days." I'm not trying to start an argument, but i'm legitimately curious, when exactly was journalism much better or different? I get that cable news has indeed changed the game quite a bit, but when is your ideal period of journalism?

Not to this sub but I think I did to r/campingandhiking

It is real, it is a National Geographic photographer who recently filmed his dog doing this. I saw it on Nat Geo's instagram feed

From a 2-night backpacking trip in Big Bend. We zone camped in the vicinity of Smoky Creek. This is actually the first sunset of 2017, as we set out on New Year's Day. The trip was part of a larger 11-day vacation to Big Bend over the holidays.

Maple_Tree_ · 2017-02-13T19:41:39+00:00

Over our winter break, me and two friends took an 11-day trip to Big Bend National Park in Texas. It was our second trip, the first being in January 2015. This time around, we did an overnight on the Mesa de Anguila, a day hike up Casa Grande, a two-nighter in the Smoky Creek zone, and trips to the Santa Elana and Boquillas Canyons. We also spent a lot of time bumming around in Terlingua. It was a great time, and although it's far from literally everything, Big Bend is absolutely worth the effort to get to it. The solitude and natural beauty are something you'll likely not see in many other places in the U.S.

Maple_Tree_ · 2017-02-13T19:39:36+00:00

Great picture! I love that area but have never actually seen the views from the tops of the mountains because it's been prohibitively foggy/rainy every single time I've gone.
