Cigarette long term storage.
I haven’t smoked in a long time, but I remember traveling to Central America and leaving Atlanta, I bought a duty free carton of camels. I didn’t think anything of it, but when I tried the local cigarettes in Belize, it was terrible. Pretty sure even old stale American tobacco would still be... -
Bad REI Experience
I stay away from their branded items. I have had a REI sleeping pad fail on me one night and it was miserable. Had a tent from them that started deteriorating after 2 years and they did not honor the lifetime warranty that they stated when I bought it. I do buy stuff there if it is on sale... -
Raising rabbits as a food source in the suburbs.
Every once in a while I’ll shoot a rabbit when quail hunting and my wife makes cacciatore. Sooo good! -
Coronavirus Pandemic (many threads merged)
Sorry if it’s a repost, but I thought a good info graphic would help -
Coronavirus Pandemic (many threads merged)
The virus is genetically closer to the SARS virus than the flu. The actual name of the virus is SARS-CoV-2. The WHO named the disease COVID-19. As it spreads beyond the borders of China, if the mortality rate grows, it puts into question the numbers published by their government. -

I believe it. They got the virus a few weeks ago and then made enough to send out to all the research labs. One of our labs at work just got it in yesterday and started work right away and will probably be putting in some serious hours. -

You think if it was that crazy dangerous they would have put it in something more secure than a styrofoam cooler with dry ice and a biohazard label. They did duct tape the top closed though. It’s in the lab now tho... Actually pretty standard procedure, but most people freak out. -

Makes sense, the guy that developed HIV treatment is who is getting the sample to study. Edit: Not AZT but another HIV treatment -

Well, we are getting live samples of Novel Coronavirus at work to study. Hopefully we know more soon... -
Edible Mushrooms?
Yeah, I would look for a darker yellow-orange. They don’t tend to grow in big clumps like that and won’t grow on roots, trees, or downed wood. I could be wrong, but I’ve never got sick eating the ones I have picked... -
Edible Mushrooms?
Those don’t look like chanterelles to me. We always pick them when we see them, but the color seems a little light. Check the underside, if there are gills they are not chanterelles. -
Would you be safe if Atlanta was hit?
If a nuke hit Atlanta, Georgia would become Mississippi instantly and I’d have a front row seat for the best fireworks show in town. If it hit anywhere else in the state, no one would really know the difference. -
Mountain House food
I bought a big Mountain House meals kit once and ate nothing but that over a weekend hiking trip. It's okay taste wise, but the voracious fumes that fill the tent at night would have gagged a maggot. I may take a MH meal or two with me on a trip now, but stick to oatmeal, ramen, instant rice, etc. -
A solar powered shipping-container farm yields the annual equivalent of three to five acres?
I like it. Make it 100 times larger and integrate this: https://farmbot.io/ Get a good GMO seed that makes corn short and stack em deep. -
Back-up Generator
I have wondered about installing such at my house. I am currently upgrading the automatic transfer switches at two buildings to new closed transition systems that are pretty neat. They constantly monitor commercial power and at any sign of trouble, crank the generator, synchronize, and switch...
