We have a similar setup with a large tall Tuffshed with a sleeping loft and campstove. We use a 5 gallon bucket with a toilet seat and wood shavings...

That’s a good question.. how does one rate a composting toilets usage? Shits per week? I’m imagining that the toilet might ‘see action’ and or be...

Churchtown Dairy, a local regenerative agriculture project headed by Abby Rockefeller (yes, that Rockefeller) on 250 acres, is set up with composting...

How many people, and how often will they "go" (i.e. be there)? I'm no expert, but I'm sure that will have some effect on what's most appropriate...

The “shorter crank arm thing” for clearance comes with full suspension trail bikes with “modern” amounts of bb drop and the assinine stump pulling...

Yeah, I am just an unskilled knob who likes to curse my equipment.

Was running OneUp flats. Now running CrankBros Mallet E. I think pedal thickness is about the same'ish.

17 sounds right for what you describe. On some of our all day trips with lunches, clothing, etc it would be a problem not in weight but space if I...

That's good to hear. Sounds like you guys are spoiled up there! I hope I didn't go overboard with 17', but there will be times when I put my family...

It works, but it's so cold in Michigan right now that it's frozen. Definitely on the lookout for something better.

jscottyk, what pedals are you running? Flat pedals also present a bigger target for rock strikes, so that's another way pedal choice affects...

We have the 15 foot version of it in the TuffStuff layup at our lake in Canada. Have thrown it on top of our car and brought it various places to...

Yea, even with the kayak craze making canoes more scarce, it still seemed like a major rabbit hole to go down researching options, but I had to just...

Two Newfies! That's like having two walking sofas.

My dad got a call out of the blue - Feb 3 appointment. They'd already picked the time, figuring he'd rearrange his schedule accordingly. He would and...

Section of path on our property. Not really many flat sections. Think it would be tough to learn on. Up & down with occasional rocks and roots. And a...

So they say public pillories were inhuman? Gosh seems reasonable to me.

Just a brief update: Beyond building approx. 4.0 miles of trails, the landscapers have been working around the house about 50-100' into the forest,...

Gray clouds and snow makes for lots of blue light and great colors. Those are speckled alders and red-stemmed dogwood adding color.

That looks like a super nice boat. I've been looking for something similar, used, to bash around on the Deerfield, but this past season it wasn't...

The whole shorter cranks = fewer pedal strikes might be technically true but I'm not subscribing. Maybe it is different on different terrain than...

Just put my order in for one of these: http://www.novacraft.com/canoes/prospector-17-2/ Going with their 'tuff stuff' proprietary layup. ...

that does look like fun little ripper.

Oh boy, and now this. Per Wapo: "Philadelphia let ‘college kids’ distribute vaccines. The result was a ‘disaster,’ volunteers say." Some really...

My experience with going with 170mm cranks on my Remedy (a 27.5 bike with a lower BB height) I definitely have few pedal strikes.

Looks great! Does that RS Quadra still work?

Yes, expect a good delay from usual. Germany has been very tight on importing and exporting goods with COVID-19 and protocols are in place to...

And there's the new Ripley AF, which seems to have come out in the last 10 days: Sold out by St. Patrick's Day?

Badass bike. ^ Looks like it would be seriously fun to ride. The decals on the fork are a nice touch.

That seems odd. I ordered some stuff from Merlin via DHL right around Christmas. Shipping was expensive but it got here super fast.

After reading some stories by Tom Ritchey I've become quite interested in things about Jobst Brandt. I guess what appeals to me is from my...

She knows how to boogie, even while wearing tap shoes. Also: made loud to play loud

I think that what you're using for pedals has a lot to do with this. Like if you're using flat pedals with your foot farther forward than with...

More like a simpleton

They call it "Archive" and if you are lucky, overpriced (for me) stuff is 50% off which makes it reasonable (also for me.)

my parents are 66 and 67 and live in eastern North Carolina. They're supposed to get their first shot on Friday. My 88 year-old grandmother lives...

Hippy.
