I have been collecting aluminum beer bottles in hopes that I would teach children how to make alcohol stoves.
Well, I have come to terms with the fact that it is never going to happen.
So,...
Wonderful!
It is still my favorite mug. I just got back from a travel trip to Switzerland, where I bought it for my morning cup of tea, along with a stinger (immersion heater).
How many years...
That is two year old, "Why are you putting me in time out!" level. C'mon man, adult up!

In this thread: men telling women when their women-ness doesn't matter.
If a woman posted it in that forum, she believes it IS specific to women. Your assessment may differ. And for your threads...
I went camping a few miles in on a trail, but I cannot remember what trail. At the road crossing there was a Little Library. It looked like the little houses that the Little Free Library folks sell,...
Yikes. Y'all mothers were authoritarian I guess. Mine and the one I model myself after guided me when I made mistakes and helped me rectify them. Confrontational isn't a word I put with mothering.

I choose to take the approach that most people are good people who have a sane handle on their emotions and are eager to correct any inadvertent mistakes as quickly as possible. I find that people...

My suggestion has so far worked every single time for me:
In your biggest, brook no argument, mommyest voice ever, turn to the person who did the thing and say, "Young man, take that out of the...
The word you are looking for that I correctly used is "contratian". Someone who does the opposite of what is simply because it *is* the opposite. They want to be contrary/opposite. The correct...
I have a friend who is a libertarian. She says that a motto of the party is, "Liberty requires character."
Meaning that in order not to have authority imposed rules about how to be excellent to...
ESTJ and a Slytherin. While I appreciate that so many of you are uniquely yourself, I am exactly the model ESTJ who is written about to great wordiness on personality type blogs the internet over. I...
Worms like banana peels. The special kind of worms that are for vermicomposting bins. The peels take a while to decompose even so, but seem to attract the worms who then proceed to make additional...
If you have a pen that takes Cross-style or D1 refills, you can get a SpacePen refill (the pressurized astronaut pen inportant part) and stick it in any of them. This is what I do. The shell of the...

I get postcards and number them along the bottom right edge. I then write my journal entries into the...
You aren't alone. I also am upset at the belittling of great feats by those who feel that they aren't great enough on their own and thus need exaggeration. THEY ARE GREAT AS IS!

I have a Gerber Dime that is my EDC, but someone gave me the smallest Leatherman (it has a scissors, too). Between the two, Gerber is smaller but the Leatherman's scissors were better.

Since the active ingredient in most hand sanitizers is ethyl alcohol/ethanol, I just cut out the middle man and pack my dropper bottle with 90% or higher rubbing ethyl alcohol.
Also, I use a 30...
The third port down is a micro USB in that charges the power bank. The top two are USB A outs that discharge the power bank. Does your solar setup have a way for connect to micro USB?

I have the same Anker pack (in red for easy finding) and could not be happier with it as an item in my EDC kit.
For the trail, I am considering the bare Li-cells and that little cord that allows...
Howdy fellow backpackers! My local gaming group consists of a fair number of backpackers and internet-pack sniffers. We recently made some additiona cards for our Cards Against Humanity set and I...
