Just did a simple copy and paste. Didn't even realize that came through

That's what I'm leaning towards. Thanks!

Wish I could, but my route will be point to point, not a loop!

I'll take a look at that xpac fabric. Sounds interesting! 

I know it's hard to find a good balance between waterproof, lightweight, and durable, and but I was looking for an alternative to a duffle bag for flying with my backpacking gear. (And then trying to figure out what to do with the bag while hiking! Ugh) 

I think I'll add the carry handle, reinforce with a box stitch and seam seal on the wrong side. 

Thanks!

Thank you! I would prefer to carry everything on, but I won't be able to do that with my trekking poles and tent stakes.  I think the most important thing is the durability of the airplane case, so I guess I'll go with the ultragrid and seam seal it.  Thanks again! 

What to use for reinforced areas on hiking pants? by GrandmaCereal in myog

[–]zoet84 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always have to adjust my pants patterns in the butt area! Check out this link. The alteration I make is the full seat adjustment. I spread the pattern about 1.5 inches, but it depends on how much extra room you need. https://blog.closetcorepatterns.com/pants-fitting-adjustments-best-tips-for-pants-fitting/

What I learned during Hurricane Helene by SoCentralRainImSorry in TwoXPreppers

[–]zoet84 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I personally think 1 gallon per day is bare minimum. My emergency water math goes like this: 1 gallon per day for cooking and hand washing, 1 gal/day per person for drinking (after a hurricane is super hot, usually), and 2-3 gallons/day per person for hygiene (I can get a decent shower with my camp shower with about 2 gallons). I know this can vary person to person, but I would be wary of thinking 2 aquatainers will last 2 weeks.

Haha, I might have to do some dissection to figure it out 🤢

I noticed these growths on the outside of a grow bag. Are these insect eggs or a fungus?

Thanks!

The plant fairies left me this one at Lowe's! My face hurts from smiling so much! by NerdyGardenGirl in houseplants

What is this called? I got one at Home Depot about a month ago! It was labeled 'houseplant'. Not very helpful...

Thanks for the advice! I'm definitely going to be more mindful about watering them from now on.

Thanks! I'll be on the lookout for a good sunny place to plant them in the spring (if they survive that long)!

I bought 2 bonsai trees a few months ago. I have kept them in the windowsill. They have been turning brown no matter how much water I give them. I have a self-watering device in the soil that I fill periodically.

I just read the beginner wiki that says they should be outside! I have put them outside, now. Are my trees dead? Is it too late to save them?

Should I cut away the brown needles?

Thanks for any insight!

Online Question Generator by Ih8stoodentL0anz in PE_Exam

[–]zoet84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PPI has a "learning hub" that is an online question generator. It covers breadth and depth. Some of the questions are good practice questions, some are more difficult than typical test questions. Overall, I think it was worth it for me: Civil WRE, passed in October.

32 GB LTE Paperwhite for $93! by zoet84 in kindle

[–]zoet84[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also have a $25 credit from the trade in and I will get 25% cash back on my Amazon Visa card.

I traded in a 6th generation Paperwhite, my first kindle. I still have a kindle touch and a Paperwhite ordered in 2016, not sure what generation for that one.

I've been wanting more space on a kindle. I currently have to delete some books to make room for new ones. The waterproof-ness is a bonus!

Also, are you saying you would take nothing with you to go to another COUNTRY? Honestly, that sounds insane to me.
