Well yeah all the Western states have mountains, that's kind what defines the West. But only a few of these really have similar geography to Colorado. Wyoming, New Mexico, and Montana mainly. Flat plains that rise into the mountains gradually across the state. Washington, Oregon and Wyoming almost but less so. A state like Utah is vastly different, other than small areas of Colorado bordering Utah. California? There is nothing like the San Joaquin Valley in Colorado, let alone the coastline.
>>
>>2713251
I fucked up and mentioned Wyoming twice but you get the idea. It's kind of in between. The point is a state being comparable is a question of degrees. Hell you could say Missouri or Vermont have comparable geography to Colorado and be technically correct. It's just a pointless statement.

No one "grows" magic mushrooms from cow pies. Be real - would someone rather grow mushrooms in a fertile, indoor, controllable, non-shit environment like a bag of rice, or in cow shit?

Thanks! I feel a little guilty about wanting honeybees rather than something native, but I'd really like to be able to gather some honey and beeswax. And yeah as far as as flowhives go, I'm inherently skeptical of anything that looks like it's promising to take away a bunch of the work. Would you recommend warre hives?
>>
>>2712692
Yes, it's awkward when people think we are "saving the bees"...
Warré are okay but if I were to start again, I'd just copy my mentor's system the first few seasons. They have an entirely different work strategy, I think it's only a good idea if you find a guy who uses them.

If your concerned about native pollinators, why not include some native bee houses on your property and actively grow a wildflower garden? I have a few beehouses on my property and have never had issues with my bees :)

Good idea, I wanted to grow more native plants in place of empty grass anyways.

What's the most interesting geocache you've found? There's one in my local area that's inside of an old bit of stone piping that I haven't had the balls to go collect yet.

Even Les Stroud does this. Love the man and his stuff, but hate this nonsense. I know it's for TV (or in your case, YouTube) but it doesn't add anything for me, just subtracts from the show.

Still not as funny as those Bear Grylls scenes taken three steps from a busy road.

This, I prefer when they just set up the camera at their car, walk into the woods and leave it filming, then come back to get it three days later. That's real.

1. Anyone here tried growing mushroom buckets before? It takes up a small area and the amount of food produced (allegedy) makes it enticing

2. Would they grow in hot weather or would they just die out? Gets to 40C here in Summer, pretty hot even in full shade.
My idea is to put some towers under some shade cloth and plastic sheets (to retain moisture)

3. Could I start propagating mushrooms from those grow box kits? No one ships mycelium here except as those.
Thought I could let it grow to the first flush, then break it apart into buckets.
>>
>>2712055
>Anyone here tried growing mushroom buckets before?
I haven't tried using buckets like that, but I have grown some mushrooms. Read "Growing Mushrooms the Easy Way" by R Rush Wayne

>Would they grow in hot weather or would they just die out? Gets to 40C here in Summer, pretty hot even in full shade.
Depends on the species. If you're growing outside then you will need to be aware of the season the mushrooms fruit in. If you're growing indoors then you just need to simulate the fruiting conditions.

>Could I start propagating mushrooms from those grow box kits?
Sure. You can also use mushrooms from the store, either by harvesting the spores, or by cloning the stem. Try reading "Mycelium Running" and "Radical Mycology" for tips on both. There are several other books you can read that go in depth into specific mushroom species and how best to care for them.

Also, if you're sterilizing your medium then you can use uncharged biochar in place of peat or vermiculite. If you can't find or make biochar buy some lump charcoal and crush it to the right grade.

There are private companies that have the primary focus of trail construction and maintenance.
Usually parks and agencies will contract these businesses to build trails or they will have volunteers from various organizations building them.
From my experience, state agencies will usually have their park/land maintenance staff maintain the trail with the help of volunteer groups, sometimes there might hurt be a dedicated trail guy or two whose job is to care for the trails, but that’s usually a seasonal gig.
If you want to make money and have a, it’s in the whole trail design process, management, bureaucracy side of things. Typically agencies and cities with large enough metro park systems will have someone who designs and plans trail projects, although this is also outsourced to private companies as well.

He's right though. Why do you get so offended at the mere suggestion that pliers and screw drivers aren't run of the mill gear for the outdoors? What do you even use them for (aside from fishing, which is addressed here >>2712906)

I have a pair of gerber pliers and they have a spring that opens them back up. It's so much better than my leatherman with normal floppy pliers. I have used the two in combination with the leatherman to hold the bolt and the gerber to tighten the nut a ton of times. You don't need a multitool, you need at least two.
