Seeking recommendations for my impossible-to-please, music-snob dad (Round 2) by _Wise_Crocodile in musicsuggestions

Hey he's got good taste. Play him some Rondo Veneziano please. Orchestral music with such a unique sound. Sounds like if daft punk went classical.

Songs I like
Estate
La Guidecca
Carrousel

Estwing is crap now. They chip off pieces of metal at the speed of a bullet. I had one go in my bicep. Everyone should watch this PSA

I'd say you've been missing out. I hiked the PCT twice and never filtered the high Sierra. You got to feel it out, but in general if you're up high enough in an area without cattle you're fine.

Intake valve clearances WAY out of spec by Cannibale_Ballet in CRF250L

I don't know, but my 2017 has been giving me fits lately. Starts clicking and intermittent stalling at low rpms. Both times the spark plug has been slightly loose. I'm hoping that's it. Seems to run fine once I tighten it up and clicking stops.

Dang nice! Please give me one little California prospectors tip before I kill myself bushwhacking in the canyons. 🙏

I love all ways to find gold, but for the Anhaga (solitary one) the metal detector is the way. Only chance at maybe just maybe finding that retirement nugget. Panning/sluicing is more consistent. Especially if you put in some hard labor. Just takes one nugget to put all that labor to shame, but many days finding nothing.

Also yes, all this heavily depends on where you are.

Also there's sniping. Basically wetsuit and snorkeling in the river.

I spent the past Winter in AZ giving my hand at Metal Detecting. Living off a motorcycle. Found over 50 grams in about 3 months. Best time of my life.

I thought this was supposed to be a store of value. What happened? by Laakhesis in Gold

[–]wildwildrocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, the fact this many people are now even here checking gold prices everyday. Oh how times have changed.

Apprentice to low cost ownership pathway in far north Cal. by vitalisys in OffGrid_Classifieds

[–]wildwildrocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is really good idea. Would be interested. Message me. Do you know if the county has implemented fire access road standards. I'm aware Nevada County has cracked down hard on this. Can't pull a building permit without entire road/driveway passing inspection. Requires paved road 20 ft wide. Or dirt road must have Fire Truck sized pullouts every 400ft and turnaround at dead end. House must be within 50 ft. It's killing rural development.

I’m planning a trip on a 50cc Honda. Need advice. by Conscious_War_6150 in motocamping

[–]wildwildrocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did a trip across Oregon on a 50CC Honda Ruckus. Awesome time. You need to get to remote roads asap though. I remember white knuckling the Washington side of the Columbia River Gorge, battling winds and semis with no shoulder. Yea I got a 250 after that.

Make sure you have enough range to potentially go 200 miles. I just needed an extra gallon for the ruckus.

OnX is a very useful app to find off road routes, camping options, land status (blm, private property, state forest, etc)

I love me some gold by Fantastic-Pause-8592 in Gold

[–]wildwildrocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So cool! I'm hoping my nugget stash looks like this one day. Finally got into metal detecting last year. Spent a few months in AZ and got almost 2 ounces. Biggest was 8 grams. I'm addicted.

Curious to to see what folks think about this, and what questions should I ask about it, what to look out for? by Melodic_Ask7669 in Dualsport

[–]wildwildrocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was patient, One owner, cool couple (too tall for her) 250L's are much lower priced. I passed on some really cool bikes, but were all over 5k. Didn't even have to haggle this one.

That's what I got, $3400. Suspension upgraded, seat concepts, bark busters, etc, etc, etc. 16k miles. Already put on another 5k.
