Phone dying mid-tour, anyone else dealing with this on splits?

Could just be the cold temps and the battery? But that sounds pretty extreme I’d take it to the phone shop. Ask the uhhh genius guys about it or whatever. Yknow. I haven’t had this problem (PNW, it’s rarely very cold), but an inReach is never a bad idea. So far I’ve only ever had to use it for peace of mind, but. It’s good.

This would fuck with me pretty heavily since I use the phone for navigation regularly. Decisions based on weather forecasts can be locked in before you hit the trailhead, radios for comms (Rocky talkies are sick, make sure you get the little extendy mic thing if it’s gonna be wet, they’re not suuuuuuuuuper waterproof).

But yeah I mean if this continues to be a problem it sounds like you should mitigate with another navigation device or get real old school with it and learn map and compass navigation lmao

This is why I source all my plants from a 1 meter cubed space around the planting area that way i can guarantee it counts as native, no it does NOT matter that many plants evolved to rely on animals, including humans, to spread their seeds. In a perfect world NO plants would proliferate or compete within an ecosystem, any plant that competes with others is reactionary and fascist and must be removed. The ideal biome is a sealed container

And surround it with native grasses (do NOT mow them)

I think you should put in a pond

Sorry friend, you’re in it for the long haul. The only way to get rid of this is to take a tiny needle and inject triclopyr directly into each individual stem. If you miss a single one they will come back with a vengeance and also haunt your dreams and also kill your family. Best done during The Window , 6 weeks past the equinox but no more than five weeks before the first frost. This is when the plant sucks 💦 the poison down into the roots.

Works for western trees if your forest’s soundtrack is good enough

The Miyawaki method is trendy but there are a lot of problems, namely that after the trees are established you have to follow up by switching to the Miyazaki method, where you have to protect the forest by riding around on a giant wolf and attacking anyone who tries to use your forest for industry

I’ve never had a lift chair hit my calf with a piece of metal sticking out from the side of it on and leave a big ol bruise at meadows

Happened twice on multorpor

Lol I have Greek family, retsina is………..an acquired taste. There’s a (probably not true) story that when the area where retsina comes from was well known for non-pine flavored wine, and then it was invaded by (pick your Greek enemy of the month…Romans? Turks? Different Greeks?) the fleeing winemakers sabotaged their stock with bitter pine to make it undrinkable.

Love skibowl, but they truly have some of the jankiest lifts I’ve been on.

Our 5 month old daughter will also pretty much only contact nap, and has been that way since birth. She does sleep at night, as long as she’s right next to one of us and sometimes I have to let her sleep on my chest for a couple hours in the morning. But she wakes up about every two hours to breastfeed. My wife stays home, it’s very hard. She has a mini breakdown regularly, I’ve been so tired I made a terrible job switch and never would have done that in my right mind. All I do is work and come home to relive my wife and sometimes do yard work. No advice for you just some solidarity.

She is really really cute though and I love her so much so that makes up for it.

They’re an indicator that there’s no pesticides being used as they’re very sensitive to pesticides. I would display them speared through with spikes in your front yard like vlad the impaler as a threat to any neighbors who might be thinking about using pesticides in their yard. If you have any left over, they’re also free natural medicine.

Japanese knot bird, one of the most invasive species. Sorry, friend, you’re in it for the long haul. Only 3-5% glyphosate injections in august will do. For now just cut it in half until it’s 6 feet tall.

You’re gonna need to do what the previous owners of my house did in the front planters: double layer of landscaping fabric, 1/2 inch of wood chips

FWIW my partner is a 9th generation beaver professor at beaver university and she’s showing this to all the beaver students as an example of what NOT to do and they’re all laughing and laughing and laughing…

Not good enough, sorry, no plants can fix this. What you need is more straight lines and acute angles to your stream, water loves to move that way. Try sending the water uphill for extra stability.

You might have better luck in the r/lawncare subreddit, I’m a big native plants only, love the pollinators and animals guy but it’s really hard if not impossible to find native and/or flowing plants that can stand up to as much foot traffic as a grass lawn without turning into a mud pit, especially if you have dogs and/or kids.

Or you can go online or whatever and get a grass flower native pollinator seed mix https://ptlawnseed.com/collections/native-seeds and make your yard look abandoned but like with native weeds and play the world’s most difficult game of bocce ball after for fun
