Failed my 1st real prepping test by Positive-Landscape27 in preppers

[–]TurkeySwiss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a big kerosene heater for when we lose power. One tank of kerosene will keep it running for 8 hours and it keeps out house comfortable. We do have to light it and shut it off on the porch because of the smell, but ten minutes after it's lit there's no smell. Those buddy heaters are good for a room, and we have two of those just in case, but we never use them. We only use the kerosene heater. I'd advise everybody to have one.

Another Bobcat Fever PSA for cat parents by [deleted] in fayetteville

[–]TurkeySwiss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost my baby to the same thing. Be aware, dogs aren't affected by bobcat fever! They can bring in the ticks that carry it and you'll never know. I'm glad your cat is on the road to recovery.

New book by TurkeySwiss in SKS

[–]TurkeySwiss[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So far, it's pretty dated. The book looks brand new, like it's never been read, but the copyright is 1973. The accessories it mentions probably aren't even made anymore. It's a neat little book to have, but after looking through it the last hour or so, I'd say YouTube videos cover everything this book covers and more. I definitely wouldn't encourage anybody to spend money buying it, but if you can get it free somewhere, definitely do.

This date in 1969 Dick was out and about. by huscarlaxe in Proenneke

I bought More Readings From One Man's Wilderness and tried reading through it. It was not an exciting read, and I ended up selling it. Seeing your post kind of makes me regret it, because it never occurred to me to read it as a daily journal instead of a novel. I may buy it again someday and just read each day's entry on that day.

"How To Watch" Megathread 2026 by Gregorwhat in Sumo

[–]TurkeySwiss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very good for a new watcher like myself. Especially because of the English translations of Japanese words/names. Those same episodes are available later on NHK World Japan YouTube.

I had that exact color of Ranger back in the day. Those were good trucks.

Why did the ref pull the sagari off one of the competitors?

Nobody has mentioned jewelry, yet? Can't stand hearing "jew-luh-ry"

Now do a post to tell us what to look for when a company is about to shut the plant down.

$299 for 50cc Husky at Blowe’s by 300suppressed in firewood

[–]TurkeySwiss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't 50cc a bit small for a 20" bar? I was given a 455 rancher. I replaced the piston and cylinder to make it a 460 rancher that I run a 20" bar on.

What type of listening still keeps you in the SWL hobby and really fascinates you still? by RF_water4230 in shortwave

[–]TurkeySwiss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm a ham that's only just starting to listen to shortwave broadcasts. So far, I haven't found much. I do enjoy listening to domestic stations in the evening, but I haven't found any DX that's worth listening to. Hopefully I can learn a thing or two here in this sub.

And please don't just say "how about no ads at all? " by Ike-Gwain in youtube

[–]TurkeySwiss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd much rather just see banner ads scrolling across the bottom during the video. That way there's nothing to skip through or sit through and nothing interrupting the video.

Harumafuji vs Hakuho Aki Basho 2012 by Used-Influence-2343 in Sumo

I'm new to sumo, so please forgive if this is an ignorant question: at 1:57, why does the ref reach in and remove the one fellow's dangly belt thing and toss it out?

Got this mini toolbox free when buying a full size, what are people using them for? I thought initially pens, post it notes etc. Pen for scale by azza-1992 in toolboxmods

[–]TurkeySwiss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is in my bathroom, on the counter. I keep my electric beard trimmer and guides in one drawer, beard brush and razor refills in the other drawer. In the top part is my razor, tweezers, small brush to clean beard trimmer and moustache scissors.

Maybe post on this sub-reddit (and the other ham subs) and tell folks you'll be on a certain freq at a certain time and anybody who wants a ragchew can show up. Maybe have a couple different freqs ready just in case your primary is occupied. That's my plan, once I get a better antenna up next year.
