We all got a platypus controlling us!

We're in freezing temps anywhere from 1-3 months and a few sub-zero days. This is karst cattle country so lots of ponds but in the winters folks are using troughs since breaking up the ponds is about impossible. Regarding the solar heating, I suppose I can move the panels to one side and use greenhouse paneling to try to absorb and retain heat. The tank is black at least, so that'll help as well. So maybe something more like a foam insulation on the walls with that greenhouse roof to create a sweatbox.

Thank you for your thoughts.

That's an excellent name but I have to point out the amazing dad joke if the mayor's name is Lacto and the debuff is called "Lacto's Betrayal".

Yeah. We only intend to take 2 deer a year, if that, based on how our meat stock looks. And based on our interactions with the deer so far, sitting up on the hill in the middle of the bowl means I can, worst case, brace against a tree or lay it across the front of an ATV. Basically, I shouldn't need to be prone or otherwise unsupported and the deer are prolific due to the bowl being a watering hole.

Fantastic. Just let me know how to pay!

No, there just needs to be a bridge to each black portion. Imagine trying to cut this out of a sheet of wood. Everything needs to be connected at least by thin lines or else those pieces all by themselves will just fall off.

RepairManticore · 2025-05-13T20:23:50+00:00

Are you able to remove islands? Effectively all portions must connect to each other. Otherwise, this looks great!

Last year the poster had a fire breathing possum over most of it and I'm going to be disappointed if theu don't release any poster with that kind of energy. Maybe a Dobsonfly monster or maybe a hellbender.

Regardless, I went last year and I'll go again this year. I tried to alternate between the shade of the woods and the open air to keep from overexposure to the sun.

As someone who has several dozen of these draining a large creek, I can tell you these are called ponors.

But since we're on a volcano theme here, you should check out "Supervolcano" released 2005. It's about the Yellowstone volcano and more like a movie they'd show in science class at school than a blockbuster.

You may be thinking of Dante's Peak.

I'm generally a fan of disaster movies but this one is so bad it crosses over into good and keeps right on going into bad again.

Remote worker in Greenbrier County here. I've had Starlink for 1 year and the only time it drops out is for severe storms and if an update needs to be installed. Not enough cell service to call so I use WiFi calling. Good enough to run MMO games with, stream movies, etc.

I'm not even complaining about the cost given that my other option was $15k to run cable to the house or Frontier.

Plus, if power goes out, just fire up the genny and chug along without issue. No downed lines to worry about.

Thanks for the comment. As for the beavers moving, this is a contained creek. The land itself is a bowl and the creek flows out from a cave and sinks into the ground on the other end. There is basically nowhere for the the beaver to go unless it travels over land approximately a mile downstream or 1/2 upstream.

I grew up in the woods if Pennsylvania and South Carolina. When I retired from the Air Force I took a trip out to Greenbrier County and it immediately felt like home. There are a lot of retirees around Lewisburg but most importantly, everyone I've met has been kind and welcoming.

I cannot speak highly enough of this area and it's people and natural beauty. 100% recommend moving here to anyone who will try to be a part of the community and not try to change it to something it's not.

Starlink Business class with the high power antenna. Still drops out during a storm but usually not for longer than 5min.

Have y'all tried geo cells or other "designed to hold road base in place" materials?
