    Trail Cam and Wildlife Thread

    never saw her, it was a gong show as the parking lot has a trailhead on the other end which gets plenty of visitation through the day so a bigger and bigger crowd was gathering to watch these animals, people were stopping at the side of the road and yelling at me from their vehicles 'LOOKS LIKE...

    Trail Cam and Wildlife Thread

    The botanical garden I work at is on the edge of a valley above a wetland so we get lots of turtle activity during nesting season. Sometimes they get in unsafe situations and on extremely rare occasions I have to physically move one (this was the second time ever, the previous time was carrying...

    Trail Cam and Wildlife Thread

    Some raccoon kits separated from their mother that were trying to latch on to everyone who walked through my garden's parking lot a few years ago

    Maybe don't call it "Communism"

    i always thought it would be cool if legislative bodies were composed of random citizens fulfilling a rotating tour of service like jury duty haha. letter in the mail, time to do your four months legislative duty. no more professional politicians, no more parties, fewer incentives for...

    Maybe don't call it "Communism"

    i have a more optimistic view of humanity. we're social animals, we work together, we go crazy when we're isolated from other humans. the fact that we've been congregating in settlements for hundreds of thousands of years to my mind puts in question the idea that we are inherently incapable of...

    Maybe don't call it "Communism"

    putting 'equality in outcome' in practice would have to be intimately connected to the material conditions of the society in question and what that society has decided 'equality in outcome' means. is it opportunity, the right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness? is it fundamental rights...

    Maybe don't call it "Communism"

    i can field some questions about communism as a capital-m Marxist (get it, capital, its a pun) the most important thing to remember about the entire history of marxist thought is that at all stages it is preoccupied with the moment it was written. it seeks to explain the world we find ourselves...

    Hickory???

    I think you're right, it looks like a bitternut hickory, Carya cordiformis, to me. I thought maybe butternut (Juglans cinerea) which is in the same family but the twigs would have chambered pith instead if that were the case. The usual defining feature for bitternut hickories for me are the...

    The latest Matt Cornell harness

    I've seen posts on treebuzz about how they'll no longer be using DMM hardware (because DMM is making their own saddle). Not anything about safety, just a move away from a well-known supplier

    The latest Matt Cornell harness

    My dream since I saw the MCRS/Valiant was to see someone splice 3-strand rigging rope into the pads to make a sendup of Gerry Beranek's custom saddle as pictured in the fundamentals. That would be so f'n cool lol

    The latest Matt Cornell harness

    I think the treemotion is the gold standard (or has been til now anyway with the changes to hardware folks have been rumbling about), even the monkey beaver saddles are more niche because you have to buy them direct, you can't walk into any arb supply shop and get one.

    Courant Squir

    fwiw Dan Halliday in his personal equipment recommendations notes that for his climbing style (which he grants not everyone climbs the same and will have different preferences) he likes having a very static access line but then leaves it in place and switches to ropes with a little more stretch...

    Winter gloves

    My fingers get pruney inside rubber gloves, which is a sign of blood vessels shrinking. Body heat is fungible but only as long as blood is flowing properly. Less blood, less warmth. I find the merino liners under a vapour barrier far more comfortable than the barrier next to the skin, the merino...
