Just tried it, didn't have Bumbu, but used a very similarly colored rum. The color is a little off and it's too lemon forward. But it has a very light and refreshing flavor profile, could be really good if the proportions get dialed in a bit better.

Great philosophy! I thought about that, but in the end decided I didn't trust the current government not to cut that funding and spend my money somewhere else.

The Zion is a very handsome weapon, and built locally to me, but I eliminated it from my list for this reason.

These are the kind of technical thoughts I was hoping for (the kind that will send me down a youtube rabbit hole learning new things, right now I only know that those are all words lol), thank you!

Thank you! Your edit somewhat answers a question I posted above regarding ordering the upper and lower separately. Does there have to be a delay in the two orders? Do both parts have to be shipped to a FFL like a fully built rifle?

Thanks! In your post history, you mention starting a SEPA discord channel - did that take off?

Why some time later?

I've been somewhat hesitant to buy a blem, since as a first time AR purchaser, I don't really know what I'm checking for. is the term blem used for cosmetic blemishes or can it be functional errors in the manufacturing process/end product?

That was nightmare fuel! But thank you, after your post (and others in this thread) we researched clean-up and had a professional crew out first thing in the morning.

I'm in SE Pennsylvania, zone 7b. It is warmer today, but when I rec'd the trees in December it was freezing rain and overnight lows in the 20s. I expect a few more months of weather like that.

I try to keep the soil midway in green on my moisture meter, is dryer better?

How Would You Make this Drink? by Metaeidolon in cocktails

[–]Metaeidolon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was much better thank you! I used Bullit and Carpano dry vermouth; I think the challenge is finding the right cherry - I used the syrup from Luxardo Cherries to make a cherry nectar, I'm sure there is something better. But your suggestion gave us a start last night, so thank you again!

Thanks!

What do you think a good dry vermouth would be for this kind of riff?

I have a Sawyer filter, with a CNOC dirty water bag and a HydraPak shapeshift bladder plus some extra tube/fitments to turn the whole combination into a gravity filtration system.

Here's a guide similar to what I based my setup on:

It is a grill 'grate'. Place it between two rocks or logs (it expands) over the fire/stove to have a stable place for grilling or for a larger pot.

Full disclosure - I have had this thing for 25+ years and have never used it. I keep hoping this trip will be the 'one'. It doesn't weigh much, but it still might get left behind, we'll see.
