      I'm reading up a bit about indoor plant growing on a global scale.

      Specifically PlantLab and Plant Paradise

      It's really awesome technology.

      <angrily throws bottle of Mountain Dew>

      This - This is what I was basically working on / towards about twelve years ago... I so wished I had had the support then to make it happen. I knew then - in 2004(ish) to do this,.. I was working at one of the Automobile Manufactures here in KY, and wanted to take an old wasted space (Wal-Mart building, etc) and turn it into an indoor farm...

      Back then I knew (fairly certain) I could have picked up grants and such left and right as the goal was to go nearly 100% green... Collect water, use solar heat, power, wind power Geo-thermal, bio-gas - full gambit... and grow everything,.. and seafood.... as seafood is a $4BILLION import....

      But I didn't have the support (still don't) or the encouragement (still don't) or the belief it would work.... And now it's all over the place. Aqua / Hydroponics, Vertical Farming and such.. ...

      You can always start at the small scale and work up.

      of course... and yea... i know that.

      But can't really do that now either... sigh this is just twenty miles from home..

        I used to grow hydroponic basil in the tub.

          Figuring out where the GF and I want to backpack to this weekend at Joshua Tree. Got a new pack and new sleeping back, temps in low 40's at night and I'm excited to try it out.

          What pack? I have a Red Rock Outdoor Assault Pack (not for tactical but for modular reasons).

          If you find yourself this way.. you should hit the Gorge

          I got the Kelty Coyote 80 from REI. We usually only do one night, wouldn't consider anything more than two nights, so I didn't need anything too intensive. We opted for a square double sleeping bag because neither of us enjoy feeling like a butterfly about to emerge from a cocoon, so it fits nicely into this pack, and she carries the tent/sleeping pads.

                      Thats the kind of pack I'm looking into right now. I don't understand why people want camo stuff for hiking!! I want to be SEEN! More than that, I want to be able to put my stuff down and be able to still see it from 2 meters away.

                          Where I hike I'm also worried about other hunters. Leading cause of death in the forests here is being mistaken for a moose/deer

                            Do you recommend any specific tent in a 2 person size (I'm fat) that I could pack easily on my motorcycle? I'm going to do a big month-long trip and likely camp in a few KOA locations to save cash.

                              If you're in a KOA or something and not worried about wildlife (bear burrito) check out hammocks. Hennesy ones are highly reviewed. They pack away to nothing and setup is 5 minutes.

                                Figuring out where the GF and I want to backpack to this weekend at Joshua Tree. Got a new pack and new sleeping back, temps in low 40's at night and I'm excited to try it out.

                                What pack? I have a Red Rock Outdoor Assault Pack (not for tactical but for modular reasons).

                                If you find yourself this way.. you should hit the Gorge

                                I got the Kelty Coyote 80 from REI. We usually only do one night, wouldn't consider anything more than two nights, so I didn't need anything too intensive. We opted for a square double sleeping bag because neither of us enjoy feeling like a butterfly about to emerge from a cocoon, so it fits nicely into this pack, and she carries the tent/sleeping pads.

                                https://www.rei.com/product/895717/kelty-coyote-80-pack

                                Thats the kind of pack I'm looking into right now. I don't understand why people want camo stuff for hiking!! I want to be SEEN! More than that, I want to be able to put my stuff down and be able to still see it from 2 meters away.

                                It's a great pack. And yes, I want to be seen in the off-chance I get lost somehow.

                                Where I hike I'm also worried about other hunters. Leading cause of death in the forests here is being mistaken for a moose/deer

                                Oh god. So many memories of hunter safety videos are flooding back.

                                    Trying to get the kids towards bed but it is a lost cause. They are running around like maniacs.

                                            Years ago, all of my articles disappeared from Datamation. But I just realized that they've all come back...
