Moot here, go to be Eric, you're not even 1000 years old. Also, stay mad Europoors, we have the freedom to ignore building regulations in America. USA! USA! USA!

That is fine, i made some stuff when i was 16
>inb4 yesterday

We just got into drinking but had no jobs,

>5 gallon fermenter
>5 litres of tesco value apple juice
>5 jars of cheap honey
>5 kilos of sugar
>turbo yeast

cleaned everything with sanatiser. heated the honey in the jars in a pot then added everything to a big pot, mixed and brought it the heat up, do not boil honey though, skimmed the foam at the top.

Pitched my yeast in warm water and sugar when i started then when the mix was cool enough i stirred it for a good 10 mins t get the oxygen in.

The thing blew gas like an air compressor, i kept feeding it sugar for about a week until it almost died, then bottled it with a touch more.

The just near exploded in the plastic litre bottles when you unscrewed the lid but tasted ok. and at about 14% it got us all good and drunk for a pound a litre.

good times

From youtube this vid shows the cycle

It looks like it works just like a spiral water pump, but instead of gravity pushing water, the motor forces the air into a smaller chamber compressing it.

Like this but with air. From the looks of it, it looks pretty deep precision shit, Could you not just convert an old petrol motor into a pump?

I built an auto fill for my aquarium but after about 3 months if fucked up, bad design on my part.

Sumps are great filters and can be built on the cheap. Plywood tanks become cost effective around 300 gallons mark.

Monster fish keepers is a great resource,

If you look up natural clay koi ponds you will get a good idea,

Clay can hold water pretty well all that is required is finding out if the soils is suitable then digging a hole with gentle sides to prevent the bank collapsing. Then just get a board and pat the clay down.


If the soil is not great or you want the simple system just line the bastard with pond liner and be done.

Surely the river flow would only be affected until the damn was full? Then the river would go back to normal

This is great advice. I get the sense I'd like deep woods with high tree cover, and some running water in the form of a creek, some slopes and limited vegetation other than the trees. I just need to start camping more often to try other stuff out though.

Pop-up camper seems pretty sweet. Any you'd recommend?

>If you haven't checked out Alone in the Wilderness, do it. It's a great documentary.
I have indeed! It was awesome.

It was 100% wholesome family activities.

Saw the fall foliage, stargazed, made a fire and roasted marshmallows, went on a hay ride, went to a pumpkin patch, visited a cider mill, played board games... The list goes on!

A few weeks ago I posted about a desire (well, more fantasy) to build a cabin in the woods.

I spent the weekend in a cabin without internet or cell service with a few friends and it was amazing. Who knew life without the internet could be so great!!!!

Since I can't afford to buy land/build a cabin and probably won't for some time, does anyone have tips for things that could bridge the gap? Like camping suggestions, van trips, RVs, etc? I guess this is semi-DIY but not explicitly, but relates to my previous /diy/ post. Sorry for any perceived off-topicness.

tl;dr: The outdoors rocks -- how do I get more into it?

I feel like that would be a nightmare to walk around in at night without the lights on.

>>301931
This looks pretty sweet. Details?

>>301884
I didn't say I wanted to live there, just visit. Maybe I'll try to get to Colorado this winter.

>>301806
Do you have any pictures of your place?

>>301863
Do you live in a home or a cabin? I've never visited middle America... Just driven through or flown over. Would like to visit Montana/Dakotas/Wyoming/etc some day.

>>301865
Any pics? Where were these homes?

>OK, I can't believe nobody's asked him this yet, but for serious, moot, what would happen to 4chan if became a recluse? Would you continue to run it from your shack? Or would we (god forbid) get a new moot?
I can run 4chan from anywhere with a laptop and an internet connection. Recluse-moot would still hang out on 4chan all the time ( ._.)
