Bushcrafting, the weed addition: Bugout patch

Testing is such a drag eh?
After viewing the BST2 in the bright lights of two candles and a headlight with fresh batteries, and with time to clean and smoke it properly, I amend my report. Still dark and sticky, but the darkness looks like it might have been purple before it met the trash compactor. And a good high. I took four hits total, and I was toast. I'll definitely pop a few of them and see if I can get a good male. Not 100% sure it's imported. My cousin Mikie always trash compacted what he sold locally to squish the seeds and make people think it was imported.

I tried to do a smoke test on the BST1, but I didn't think of it until I had smoked a bowl {or whatever you would call my latest smoking device} of the CPDA. The test didn't work out too well. I would either forget to wait the 10 minutes for the next hit, or I would get sidetracked and not think to hit it for 30-45 minutes. I'll try to do better next time.

Due to transport issues, I'm having to rob Peter to pay Paul as far as my soil mix goes. My truck isn't suited to haul bulk composts, and the old clunker I usually borrow is OOC right now. So I "borrowed" some soil from my DIY pot of above average intelligence to transplant the peppers my BIL sent me over the weekend. Lots and lots of worms in the soil. I used it to grow one really big tomato plant last fall. Since then it's just been chilin'.

I'll be posting pictures of my wire cages. As soon as I get them built and installed. The deer killed me this week. At least in the KP patches. {4 of 6 ate} Don't know about anywhere else. Here is a GV2 I had planned on going in another hole, but since the Slo2 got ate, it had to go there.

I like to wait until they are a little bigger before I transplant, so I can top them before going into the pack. But I was ready to move them out of the holding grounds. Lots of planes in the air lately. I'm trying to come up with another holding ground to let this place rest for a few weeks. There are trails where I have been watering the young plants. Don't like trails.

compressed coco blocks are very light before you add the water might easier to lug around ? but outside soil is probably way better to use for the plant

for a bush grower coco blocks r the cats ass,1 k block 25 gals of soil,carry 5-6 at a time.carry in 6 cb ft perlite:blsmoke:ouch!!!!u got a pile:clap:
Do you do the mixing in the woods? Before you wet the coco?

My soil mixing now is for my veggie garden though. I dug most of my holes during the winter.

u should look into the blocks, I c u no spring chicken,like me,these days I try to use brain instead of back:bigjoint:
You got that right. I did a round of transplanting yesterday. 11 plants, so 11 gallons of soil mix. That is five gallons in the backpack and two five gallon buckets just over half full. Luckily it was raining all day, so I slipped in with my truck and dropped it off. I only had to pack it about half a mile.

Some of my {many} cousins moved an old one room house to the back of their land. It was built in the 1890's by the great great grandfather of another cousin. It was already old when my newly wed parents moved into it in 1946. It has been years since it had any kind of work done on it, and it is about to fall apart. Since they live out of town, I'm checking on it every few days, and helping out the guy who is doing the work of adding a porch and patching up the roof and walls. One of my task the last couple of days has been to move lots and lots of old canning jars. My cousins ask me to save a dozen or so, and that I could have the rest. The rest is a lot of jars.

Here is what it looked like right after we got it moved to the new location. Very few of the jars were broken, even going over 1/4 mile of three trail road.

After some work on my part. I had already packed up most of the empty jars by this point.

I took most of them to the camp. It will give me something to be working on when I'm down there.

I got a storage tote of mostly instant coffee and other small jars.
