Upvoting for visibility, but this seems insane and impossible to me. When I take a cold shower, I can feel the water stealing the heat from my back, because it's warmer when it hits my legs. It's crazy.

It's definitely taking heat away, for me, and I would die if I tried to take a hot shower on a hot day.

I start with a warm shower, like normal, then slowly turn it down until it's nice and cool, almost cold. But not ice cold. Feel way better afterwards.

Is this different from !localllama@sh.itjust.works?

That community is quite active already, and helped me get up and running and interested in local LLMs.

Or PFAS

Hammock knot? For rope? Got a link? I've heard ropes can hurt the tree, cut into the bark.

These are hammock straps, with loops for length adjustment, like this:

That helps spread the load out so the tree is happier.

I do agree the trunk is best, usually that's all I do. But I was trying to fit 4 hammocks in here. The branches were plenty stout, plus if you keep the angle acute enough, that is, if you're hanging correctly, you can reduce the lateral load, like this:

I see way too many people with bad hang angles, not only does it make it harder to lay diagonally, or even impossible in some cases, it actually increases the load on your straps. Which if they are ropes, is worse for the tree. And if it's an old or undersized rope, they can fail. I did that once, thankfully only a few feet off the ground 😬

Very informative than you!

Thanks for the insight!

The one with the brown oil in it definitely has something going on. Don't trust it. We'll see what happens with the other

It's a little tricky, but you climb them like a ladder. The key is opening the top hammock wide before climbing into it, so you don't roll out. Also helps if your hang angle isn't too obtuse, which would make it easier to roll out of.

Basically if you keep them close enough in height relative to each other, and you use a normal proper hang angle, you can climb right up and in.

That said, my wife won't do it, doesn't trust herself to not fall. So if you feel uncomfortable, definitely don't try it.

Thanks for the information! I understand what the veil breaking means in theory, but I have zero idea what that would look like. I'm gonna crack it open and add a picture to the OP.

Can you elaborate on what problems the veil breaking would cause? Mushrooms trying to grow where they shouldn't?

I'm probably only gonna use this bag once, get some mushrooms off it, then stop.

It's definitely been sealed this whole time so CO2 buildup might be a problem too.

It says BB on the side, maybe I'll open it up and take a picture for you. It's definitely already fruiting inside, and the instructions from the other guy said that it can choke on its own CO2 if you don't open the bag soon enough 🤔

You're probably right. I haven't actually been camping since I made this thing, but, from what I've read, people like alcohol for its slower quieter burn.

Technically you could just turn your butane down real low and get a similar effect 🤷‍♂️

IDK, I'm gonna try it once and form my own opinion.

It's also much faster

Edit: you said that already lol sorry

Wiztree and Treesize are both much faster.

Windirstat is still relevant... But slow.

That's wild

This is the way.

But I will say, the cheaper soaps tend to crack and disintegrate and make this harder to do.

Meh, just clean water spots in the shape of feet, it'll dry 🤷‍♂️

Oh man, I don't know how this could be true. I work manual labor, in sneakers. I spend all summer recreational time in either flip flops or barefoot. So while I don't have huge callouses on my feet, I've got some. Not tender baby feet.

But still, one day it was like 70 or 80 out, I changed out fancy clothes into shorts, but forgot to pack my flip flops. I really wanted to walk down to an event that was going on, but I didn't want to wear black fancy shoes with my shorts. So I went barefoot on the sidewalk, about 3/4 of a mile.

I did like you said and walked in the grass a lot, but man the concrete was hotter than I expected. It didn't hurt at first, but each new step I took found freshly warmed concrete that just heated my foot more. Keeping moving definitely wasn't helping. Eventually it started to hurt, even with walking in as much grass as I could.

I got to where I was going, grass covered area, and didn't think too much of it.

When I went to leave? Oh man. My feet hurt. Looking at them closely, I had several blisters on both feet. I cooked em. I couldn't walk back, I had to call my friend to pick me up.

That was on regular concrete. I cannot imagine doing that on asphalt, I wouldn't make it a hundred feet.

Maybe I really do have tender baby feet 🤔

30s checking in, local gas station had one up until 10 or 15 years ago. I moved, haven't been back since to check if it's still there 🤷‍♂️

Jealous, I haven't been camping yet this year. I'm itching to go

As far as I understand it, you shouldn't put peroxide on most, or maybe even any, wounds. It indiscriminately kills good and bad bacteria as well as your body's cells. So it can make the wound take much longer to heal.

Similar, but I think different, with iodine. You shouldn't use it in most cases.

The recommendation is to use warm soapy water to rinse/clean the wound really good. That's all.

If the wound is deep enough or gnarly enough that this doesn't seem reasonable? Well, peroxide wasn't gonna help you anyway, go to the doctor.

I'm happy to be wrong here, to be corrected. But this is how I understand it.

Also I do keep peroxide in my cupboard, as well as rubbing alcohol. Their uses just aren't for wounds.

Not cool mist humidifiers.
