You have had some really good replies so far.
In the mountains realty could mean anything
- I've done winter camping in snow - in the mountains
- I've done summer camping (in snow, shit can go sideways) - in the mountains
- I've done subtropical camping - in the mountains
- I've done temperate camping - in the mountains
- I've done 90 mph wind camping - in the mountains
- I've also done some absolutely drop dead breathtaking camping in the mountains
As others have said, beperpaired for it to be colder than you expect.
Are you walking / hiking in, or car?
Enjoy it
unfortunately I can relate - although not on the way to particularly anywhere just a walk with both kids. I ended up carrying a scooter over my shoulder and bending down to push a 3y/o's bike...
Not really sure of the question.
on my smaller batched I will normally use just a single full dose, anything above 15-20 l I split it
no the honey wasn't wet, in fact it was a bit on the dry side (was recovered from a plastic pallet that wet honey had leaked onto - not that clean so couldn't go into the batch). Being on the dry side it was hard to get to fully dissolve - thus the est on the OG.
It was 5L of honey and I used the GotMead calc. I'm not too worried if it's on the upper end of a starting OG and it stays a little on the sweet side.
For fermentation time, I'm in no hurry and I expect it will sit in primary for the next 3 or 4 weeks.
I'll probably give it a second dose of fermaid tomorrow
A bit shit to release the name of the driver
Happy little bugs
This is a Rewarewa mead started over the long weekend
- 7.5kg honey
- made to 20 L
- fermaid at
- champagne style ec1118 yeast
- est to be a og of about 1.113
The images load (and expand) on my instance, so it would appair to be something on your end
The biggest problem I see is you 'guys' exporting it less well off countries where immunization rates are even lower. see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Samoa_measles_outbreak for how bad it can get

I really think that some of those products would be very easy to avoid

An entomologist says the spread of Portuguese millipedes across Wellington - and beyond - is almost certain after residents on the south coast sounded the alarm about infestations of the invasive species.
Residents have described waking to find hundreds of scaly black millipedes around their homes, discovering them in shoes, bags and even their beds.
Biosecurity New Zealand said the invertebrate had been identified on the south coast and in Lower Hutt for about 20 years, but not much was known about it.
A local councillor is now calling for an urgent meeting with local authorities to discuss how to tackle the problem.
at 20 years in the area - good luck with that
I do wonder why they seem to be turning up more now and if they are spreading
some good comments here, I'd just add two things:
- be genuine in your posts
- don't post to lots of communities at the same time - I will ban posters if I see 3 or more posts landing on my instance
But other than than I hope to see you OC sometime
could the last one be S. capensis? We have S. capensis and S. grossa here in NZ and both can be quite variable
forgot about Yellow Dog. I still have a BSD VM (Dragonfly) that I occasionally fire up

Bushwalk with one of the kids
We set off up a small stream with no path, just me and one of the kids. She was thrilled, bouncing ahead and splashing into the water without hesitation. There was no trail to guide us, just rocks to hop over, branches to duck under, and the steady sound of the stream winding its way through the trees. Each little obstacle felt like a new discovery—a mossy rock here, a shiny stone there. For her, every step felt like a small victory.
On the way up, she took her time, inspecting leaves and sticks, occasionally pointing things out with the excitement only kids can muster. She laughed whenever her shoes slipped in the water, not minding a bit when her pants got wet. With each step, she got braver, happily stepping into the deeper parts and challenging herself to cross even slipperier stones. There was no rush or goal, just pure enjoyment of being somewhere wild and free.
The way back was even better. She wasn’t worried about getting wet anymore; she was already soaked! Every splash was

She sells seashells on a seashore
But the value of these shells will fall
Due to the laws of supply and demand
No one wants to buy shells 'cause there's loads on the sand
Step 1: you must create a sense of scarcity
Shells will sell much better if the people think they're rare, you see Bare with me, take as many shells as you can find and hide 'em on an island stockpile 'em high until they're rarer than a diamond
Step 2: you gotta make the people think that they want 'em
Really want 'em, really fuckin want 'em
Hit 'em like Bronson

At the top of the South Island, the Kahurangi National Park and adjoining areas are home to many plants and animals that aren't found anywhere else on the planet. Kahurangi means precious; to be prized and award-winning writer Dave Hansford wants all New Zealanders to understand why the biodiversity and beauty of this region is exactly that, prized and precious.
His new work is more than a coffee table book with stunning pictures of the landscape and wildlife. It's a plea to protect this sacred and wild land from the political, economic and social forces that jeopardize its future.
