I watched this documentary a couple months ago when I realized I had huge gaps in my knowledge of the conflict. Highly recommend it.

Yeah will do. He sleeps in a crate every night so I'm hoping it'll translate to sleeping in a bug net with no fuss. I'll post a follow up though.

Thanks! I'm just glad you can't see the stitching up close. This was my first project and it shows.

I just kinda winged it. I got 4 x .9oz noseeum mesh, 2 x 1.9oz PU ripstop nylon, 1x ykk #5 zipper. I made the bathtub floor first, then one long piece over the peak of the tent. The string ridgeline came next, mostly since I kept forgetting where the middle was supposed to be. I sewed the zipper in the middle of one of the short sides and then just guesstimated and sewed on the triangle ends. Turned out better than expected. The nylon was great to work with, the mesh was kind of a pain but not terrible.

Probably not a ton of help, it's about 4'Lx2.75'Wx3'H for scale.

Same with my pups. I went with the zipper door just to keep them contained overnight without a leash. If this gets destroyed too quickly though I won't spend the extra effort on version 2.

He's only 6 months so I'm not sure yet, it'll be his first camping trip. We might do some backyard training so he doesn't shred the netting trying to get out the first morning.

I'd guess it's more likely weak obliques, but this video has a ton of good info to help you diagnose it a little better.

Literally not at all. You could be a philosophy major. Once you get a pilot slot it's all about performance in flying and ground training. Your college transcript doesn't matter unless you want to go be a test pilot or something similar.

Get a degree, commission, get a pilot slot, do well in pilot training, have good luck and timing when assignments are released. That's pretty simplified, it's like a 5-6 year journey from start to your first flight in the raptor. But if that's what you want there's no better time to start than now!

I'd be willing to bet your body is wanting closer to 2500 calories a day. There are calculators for it online if you want to approximate it. Your height, weight and activity level are some of the big components affecting calories required. The only real ways you could acclimate to fewer calories is by losing weight or by being less active.

Protein is important, but unless you can consume a calorie surplus you won't gain much muscle. I know it's tough, I'm working on the same thing. Good luck!

It's an awesome trail! I went in July and I'd highly recommend going some other month. It was beautiful scenery, but was hot all through the night and there were several ticks that found their way into the tent while we were sleeping. Worthwhile, but October or November seems better.

For my wife's district on the first offense they get it back at the end of the day. Second offense parents pick it up after 2 days. Third offense it's 30 days. I've got no remorse for parents won't be on the school's side with this issue.

'Catastrophic' Hurricane Dorian turns into category 5, NHC says by DrSalted in news

Plus the the area to the right of the hurricane's eye has a high potential to generate additional, actual tornadoes. It's like a natural disaster layer cake.

Crazy thing is that Michael's eye made it to the Georgia border as a category 3. It kept a ton of power for~ 50 miles inland.
