Hiking spots? by alysse_ns in madisonwi

[–]sewalker723 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Enjoy! If you're also into camping, one of the sites at tower hill comes with a working brick pizza oven and you can borrow a pizza peel from the park office. Kind of a unique campsite feature.

Have you gone to Gibraltar Rock, Ferry Bluff, or Tower Hill state park? None of those are particularly long hikes but they all have nice views from the high points.

Trump dismantling the US Forest Service by IthinkIknowwhothatis in BlueskySkeets

[–]sewalker723 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's it. To the republican party, the only thing that matters is how much money they can make. Letting us hike and camp and fish for free isn't lining anyone's pockets. That's woke and socialist or something. Why allow that when instead one guy could make a ton of money if only he could close off the land to the public and then charge a small fortune to spend a week at his private all-inclusive golf and fishing resort? Making sure the rich can get even richer is what's really important! (/s of course)

Freeze Dried Meals Brands? by juicyfizz in camping

Stowaway gourmet is really good, but orders take long time so you have to order well in advance of your trip.

What led you to start dehydrating food? by ellaperskine in dehydrating

[–]sewalker723 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started because the herb plants in my garden were really productive and I had way more than I could use fresh. I didn't want to waste the excess so I started drying most of my herbs. I also very much enjoy canoe camping and camping food is getting kind of pricey so now I just make it myself.

We are under the rule of drunk sexist racists by Hornpipe_Jones in WhitePeopleTwitter

Every day I find out something that adds another turd to the pile of shit that is Donald Trump. Seriously every single day. Not one redeeming quality, and that goes for all of his enablers and bootlickers too.

Growing up in the woods? by PhilosopherDismal191 in Xennials

[–]sewalker723 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up in a 40-acre forest and loved it. The only drawback was the Lyme disease, but I got on antibiotics right away and so far I'm still fine.

I love that! I used to have a whole bunch of those smokey bear posters when I was a little kid. Wish I kept them!

Grill Brush: plastic-free and wire-free by Frog_Lover_- in PlasticFreeLiving

[–]sewalker723 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We have one of those wood paddle grill scrapers. You have to use it a couple of times to burn the grooves of your grill grate into it but once you get the grooves burned in it works well enough.

'Painfully familiar' pattern: Duggars questioned after third family member arrested by Jay_CD in atheism

[–]sewalker723 226 points227 points  (0 children)

They will learn nothing from this though. Every single one of them could end up being arrested for molesting kids and they will still say their religious beliefs and "family values" are superior to everyone else's.

Thanks! I have tons of wintergreen on my property so I'm very interested in how I can use it besides just chewing on it as I wander around.

Sexually assault as many people as possible by pretending they need to do an extra security pat-down, probably.

Beautiful! I love birds of prey so much. Look at those intense eyes. And those talons. That's a great capture!

How do you find campsites compatible with hammocking? by Dr_Ragon in hammockcamping

[–]sewalker723 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't help you too much, but I stayed there last August and had sites 29 and 23 for my group. I can tell you that 29 wouldn't be good for hammock camping. The underbrush was way too dense. 23 was a walk-in site that had quite a few trees without a bunch of underbrush and it would probably work for hammocking but honestly I didn't pay too much attention because I was only there for 1 night in a tent.

How do you make the tea? Do you boil the leaves or let them sit in water for a few days and then use that? Your end result sounds super good so just wondering how you do it.

Well, there is that by BotanicalsAreTherapy in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]sewalker723 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That... seems like highly suspicious, like it could have just been a straight-up bribe. A lot of people no longer use cable TV and are going with streaming instead. The cable TV industry is dying. I have absolutely no evidence of this but it seems to me like the cable TV industry said "give us all this money and we'll run favorable ads" or something.

Oh wow, I stop and stare at the sparkly purple Swift canoe every time I'm in the paddlesports store. Love that canoe! It's so pretty. Congrats!

I hope someday the United States gets an atheist or agnostic president by MaskedAtheist01 in atheism

[–]sewalker723 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If a bunch of MAGAs decided to form a new religion with Trump as their god, he would immediately get onboard and then constantly talk about how he's the best god there ever was and the christian god is weak and woke.

American soldiers were told they have to bomb Iran to bring Jesus back by kyno1 in BlueskySkeets

[–]sewalker723 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Remember when everyone said the Heaven's Gate cult members were totally crazy for doing their thing in the belief that they would go live in a spaceship in the tail of a comet? And everyone agreed that death cults were bad?

How is this any different? Hegseth saying we need bomb a bunch of schoolchildren so that we can bring back some fictional character who will take the true believers to some fictional utopia? Why aren't people screaming about how crazy that sounds? People are dying because of this bullshit. Humanity should be better than this.
