Bunnies aren't real.

Oh yeah. These aren't just "we misspoke" or "if you look at it like" or "at the time we thought". They're bald-faced intentional lies.

Just be aware that those flatpack furniture wrenches are made from quite soft material. If you try to use them on, say, the rear brake rotor bolts on a 2007 Triumph Rocket III, both the wrench and the bolt will be ruined, you'll have to go to the hardware store to get a proper hardened steel tool, end up having to reuse the damaged bolt anyway, damaging it more in the process, and leaving it for the next guy to figure out. The next guy is me, but I hate that guy, so it's fine.

I know that when I strangle people with my very identifiable necktie, I always leave it at the scene for investigators to find.

And there's a rug there for him.

This is on par with the Greek stoics, idle rich fuckers who would deprive themselves of luxuries "for a while" ... and then congratulate themselves for that deprivation when they got back to doing their regular idle rich fucker shit.

I left out the detail of "move most of the coals over to the other side of your area for the overnight fire."

Also, if the ground is wet, dig even deeper narrow drainage channels on both sides of that shallow trench. The fire will dry out the ground you're about to sleep on, and the channels allow for runoff. Luke from Outdoor Boys does exactly this in Alaska, even after digging down to the ground through feet of snow, that's how I know about it.

Yes, but also no. I could have an account on hexbear and still see things from lots of other places. The beauty of federation is that it’s a lot harder to quash dissent from an administrative level.

Read this more closely. The reporting here is that the “missing minute(s)” exist, and that what was published publicly was not the “raw footage,” but rather a screen capture of footage.

So when they said they released raw footage, they lied. When they said stuff about some “nightly reset,” they lied.

Headline bad.

A bushcraft trick is to dig a shallow trench, build a fire in it. When you've got coals, cover them over with dirt and sleep on top of that. I'd bet that goes back a looooong way.
