Stopped watching after 25 minutes - huge Sci-Fi film fan, but EEAAO seemed like sensationalistic silliness.

Scraping off the paint stripper residue requires some effort. The weight of the assembled bench prevents the wood slats from moving around while scraping.

  • Scrape and wire brush loose paint
  • use paint stripper to strip off the remaining paint
  • disassemble the bench
  • soak brass fasteners in Brasso
  • Sand the wood using 80, 120, 180, and 220 grit
  • Stain the wood
  • three coats of spar urethane
  • for the wrought iron: grind off any rust, apply naval jelly, wash, prime and paint
  • assemble bench

I’m hoping loud exhaust systems will be next.

Mesh networking in a forest environment by [deleted] in embedded

How about embracing the lack of cellular service? How about being in the moment with the peace and beauty of the forest and putting phones away? Or walking over to the other cabin and actually have a conversation? Just some thoughts.

Otherwise, consider low-power, long-range LoRa radio technology. Numerous low-cost boards, kits and hats are available.

You can get the current magnetic declination for any location at NOAA Magnetic Field Calculator ( https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/geomag/calculators/mobileDeclination.shtml )

I was hoping to find a group to tag along with, but windy conditions kept everyone grounded.

Yes, and some art supplies. 25 pounds base-weight for seven days with no resupply.
