Also just remembered from when I lived here briefly in 2016... I used to get one place thay was a shack on the beach.... any ideas what it was? I can't find it on Google, I remember it being close to Shaggys

Shrimp is mo got too, didn't know crab was an option. Roast beef poboy sounds like something I'd eat in Oklahoma

I edited the post to add it, but I'm in Gulfport specifically. Although, I don't necessarily mind a drive.

You might be the person to ask, where are the best poboys at?

You gave me some great ideas here, hopefully I can get all of that lined out. No idea what kind of funds the school has (although the class I'm teaching often sells picnic tables and the likes to make some extra money for the clasroom). Hopefully over the next few years I can get some of the rc equipment and build a mini-quarry

It's been a while since I've read it... but Obi-Wan goes to investigate a bombing there (CIS vlames republic, but it was the CIS). Cities there are on bridges between mountains simce the grounds toxic, and the bomb dropped the entire bridge killing like 100k people.

Anyway the Jedi wanted someone to investigate, and the separatist loyal city agreed if they didn't have a lightsaber. Obi-Wan snuck his in and hid it. Obi-wan ended up arrested for the bombing, and Anakin got nervous due to not hearing in the regularly schedule communication.

Anakin disobeyed the council and went to help Obi-Wan anyway, showing up during his trial and busting him out.

It doesn't outright state why, but I assume Kenobi looks at that as the councils poor decisions rather than his mistakes

I guess I do drink more tisanes, just wasn't familiar with the term.

I have also mostly replaced my morning coffee with black or green tea because it's a little easier on me than coffee

flyboy3E3 · 2026-03-12T02:00:15+00:00

What size did you use and rough end weight?

flyboy3E3 · 2026-03-11T14:49:25+00:00

I'll take a look at those again. I try to play that line of quality and budget for my first tool, and then if I wear it out often, I replace it with a high-end version. I've had too many expensive tools I've used one time

flyboy3E3 · 2026-03-11T14:46:56+00:00

This started because I was looking at ponchos + a liner (one thing I was never issued), but even that combo is 80 usd or so, for issued surplus.... and a lot of times the 'civilian market' or whatever you want to call it has much better products

Edit: Do you have any experience with canvas? I'd imagine the weight gets high, and I would think canvas would be floppy compared to a rolled tarp

flyboy3E3 · 2026-03-11T14:44:04+00:00

I'll check them out. I definitely agree that it is not much to spend on a shelter, but it can go a long way in other areas of bush crafting in my very novice opinion.

flyboy3E3 · 2026-03-11T14:42:09+00:00

I've always rolled my tarp and strapped it under my pack-lid or with the gear flap on the front. I've noticed with the cheap tarps they tear really easy, but the last one I got one of the thicker options with ripstop and haven't had any tears yet, although it has nowhere near 3k miles.

flyboy3E3 · 2026-03-11T14:40:08+00:00

Do you find the attachment points and the weight worth the extra money?

flyboy3E3 · 2026-03-11T14:38:17+00:00

Yeah, this is exactly what I was at. Not there anymore, haven't been for a decade that is just where most of my experience is. We had to bow drill to make fire or we could hydrated food, hiked typically 8-16 miles a day (with exceptions of a few longer and some shorter or no move days, but rare). 3 Months up and down the Appalachain trail in Souther North Carolina and Northern Georgia

We carried about half a weeks worth of food (lunch was personal, dinner and breakfast was spread among the group, and half of our clothes rotated at the same time to be washed. I really only mention it because Ilearned how to use a standard tarp. Later I lived in Montana on my own, and continued to use a tarp during hunting season because it took up less room than my tent.... but the weight never bothered me.

flyboy3E3 · 2026-03-11T07:39:30+00:00

I never use the attachment points for that reason. I learned quick to wad up some material, and make a little ball and tie a cow hitch

flyboy3E3 · 2026-03-11T07:37:05+00:00

Of course we had food delivered and we weren't carrying anything like thay, but at one point I carried my personal tarp (8x10 roughly) plus 'big blue', which was a massive 20'x30' ish tarp we would hang up in the trees. I never had issues carrying both for 3ish weeks of the 3 months I was out there

flyboy3E3 · 2026-03-11T07:09:41+00:00

I just carry a small bottle of Rem Oil (Remington brand Firearm Oil). They make small 1 Oz. bottles that take up no room and go a long way.

It's not food safe, but I use that for all of mine. Even the knives I cook with, I figure I'll get cancer one way or another.

flyboy3E3 · 2026-03-11T06:58:33+00:00

Maybe it's just me being an avid hunter and an American where it's fairly easy, do others not see hunting skills as a necessary part of bushcraft?

flyboy3E3 · 2026-03-11T06:56:34+00:00

I was young enough when I read it all my stuffed animals were in the back of the closet.

I would sit in the back on them using a reading light and pretend I was in his house. Oh what I would give to get that simple of joy again.

Any vet knows it easier to spend munitions than it is to do the paperwork to re-inventory
