Makes sense, but you also live in the desert (SoCal). I like both, but French Terry has a nice feel.

@diggitystart with the first one.

What do you like about French Terry more than standard cotton fleece? Just curious...

So after giving this a few days, I came to the conclusion that the range of expression in the post "reactions" was lacking (bottom right of all posts). Henceforth, I bring you LOL and FuckBoi... Those add positive and negative reputation points respectively. Enjoy!

Animated .gif files should play fine.

Just finished... Zombie Road IV: Road to Redemption - https://www.amazon.com/Zombie-Road-IV-Redemption-ebook/dp/B07D3JVKGR/ Such a fun read... Part zombie, part road warrior. @diggityyou should give this series a read.

Ive disabled image embeds. Too many complaints from other sites and too many broken images. But going to look into an option for it. For now we have huge attachment space for members and unlimited for VIP.

@One Man BannedNot that it matters all that much, but you can put all your images into a single post rather than post each individually. Not that it matters much, but just saying in case you didn't know. That said, your photos have me kinda nostalgic for life in the South. Nice captures man.

Nah, Roopa does indeed do french terry. I met with them pretty recently and samples of french terry in various weights. The labeling is up to the client, not the factory so its possible they just switched it up after running out or wanting different info on it. Country of origin is typically required on all import goods, but there's no specifics I'm aware of about the rest.

Roopa does some of Supreme's stuff, but as far as I know all the Canadian stuff is still CYC. Both do a great job though.

Hey @ATTNg3trNice to see you on here posting. DM me, when you get this.

Wondering how @Cracked Assis doing? Anyone in touch with him that can pass on an invite to swing by?

Groceries. Cause adulthood. At least it was Costco.

We don’t allow linked images. Too many sites complain and wejust end up with broken image files. Please use the attachments feature.

If you want us to search out your old 12oz account, just hit the support link and let us know. Regardless, welcome back!

@Fist 666technically rapeseed is a slightly different strain. It’s closely related but the same as canola from Ive been told.

How To Post Images / Files: So this is a questions we've gotten a lot over the years. With this new forum system, it's dumb easy. We currently allow Members 500MB of attachments space and VIP Members unlimited attachment space (more later on how to get into VIP or DM me). It's slightly different on desktop versus mobile, but both support posting attachments. Note that attachments can be pretty much anytime of file (PDF, .xls, .doc, etc), but usually its an image (.jpg, .png, .gif etc). Mobile uploads are fine straight off your smart phone camera, but for desktop and regular DSLR camera or high resolution photos, I would strong suggest optimizing your image so its crisp and a decent image dimension and file size. You can use Adobe Photoshop on desktop, which is the de facto standard for like 20 years (it's not cheap), or a free quality online image editor like https://pixlr.com/editor/. Either way, ideally your image is somewhere around 1800 - 3000px on its longest side. For .jpg files a usual compression of about 85 is pretty ideal, but overall you want each image no larger than 1mb - 1.5mb (1024kB - 2048kB) or it's really makes page loads pretty slow. Desktop Attachments: The desktop version of the 12ozProphet Forum supports drag and drop image uploads. You literally just find your image on your computer and click-drag it to the darker grey portion at the bottom of the reply field where you normally post your comment (at the bottom of every thread). It's easy to find after you click on the respond field and literally has a paperclip icon and says, "Drag files here to attach, or choose files...". Obviously, you can also click the "choose files" link and navigate to your file and attach it that way as well. Image of how that looks is attached below. Mobile Attachments: Alternatively, if you're on mobile, its just as easy. Plus you can also attach photos as you take them or select any photos that are on your smart phones photo library (Yes, iPhone, Android and any other smart phone type with a camera and web access is supported). Again, you just click the "Reply to this topic" field at the bottom of every thread where you normally post comments and then click the "Click to chose files" link that is at the bottom of that reply field. Your phone will prompt you to either take a photo or chose an image from your photo library, and then will upload it accordingly as a post. Super freakin simple. And for the record... You should always disable tagging your smart phone photos with GPS data, but we've configured our system to strip all meta data with the single exception of the "orientation meta data". This simply allows the 12ozProphet Forum to orient your photo the way it was intended (either landscape or portrait). All other identifying data is stripped from your image. Here are a few photos that show that process on iPhone, but its essentially the same on all smart phones.

Oh yeah, collecting rain water is easy. Literally a matter of pressure washing your roof to get the build up of pollution off and running the drains into barrels. That’s a grey water system, but you could make it drinkable with a good filter like a Burkey. It’s better to use real rain catch barrels to avoid chemical leaching or algae build up but truth is that most things will work, especially if it’s non potable water for washing or gardening. I was actually planning to put a drain system on our pole barn running into two 500 gallon stock tanks that are set high. Then using gravity to allow the water for gardening (drip irrigation to the raised garden beds) and to keep livestock watered. I looked up the annual rain fall in our area and multiplied it by the roof size and it’s something like 20,000 gallons a year, which is more than I need. Problem is winters hit -20 so a lot has to go into making sure you can either heat it or totally drain it. That opens up a bunch more I need to figure out so I haven’t done it yet. In your case, a well would likely be the primary source, but they’re costly. Often 7 - 10 a linear foot to dig. The pipes and electric pump will be another $2.5 - $4k depending on depth and pump size. Then another $300 - $500 for a manual well pump head. Our well sits just shy of 300ft and we live on a river. You’ll need to start with a hydro geology survey to identify an aquifer on your land and tap into that. Then lastly, your pump has to run to your plumbing system, often by way of a mechanical room so you can manage your water (tweak shit, filtering, softening, etc). It’s a big commitment man. Probably $30k on the low side and can easily run $70k or more. Definitely one of those things you throw on your mortgage, but also adds big equity to your property.

Reality is my place isn’t entirely off the grid. We have our own water well, we use wood stoves for heat (and can cook off them as well), and use propane for the oven. Electric is on the grid, but electric in Montana is dumb cheap so there’s not a lot of incentive to use other means for power. Solar is rare because in the winter, we’re too far north to have much day light (sunrise is around 9:30am, sunset is around 4:30pm and days are usually snowy and cloudy). We do get a lot of wind, so I’ve considered a small windmill, but again, electric is so cheap. Obviously we have a ton of flashlights and a couple gas lanterns so if the grid dropped, my only real issue is the water pump. As such, I’m already planning to cap it with a hand pump and run a small solar setup, deep cycle batteries and switch that to solar. Was also planning to get a few generators. A large capacity, modern Honda. An old school, large capacity generator that’s dumb simple and when I can afford it, a propane driven large capacity generator wired into our house that can take over instantly if the power goes out. Then install two over sized tanks underground so I only need to fill them every 12 - 18 months if need be. I do hope to have a few good productive years still and if I can manage, hoping to buy as much land as I can way deep in the mountains. Something like a couple hundred acres that sits like an hour from a gas station and a few hours to the closest small town. If I get that, I’ll put in something nicer than a hunters cabin, but it’ll be totally off grid.

Will reach out to him, but he’s been around recently and posted a few times.

@One Man Bannedsorry man, you’re right. Had to tweak some settings. Try it now.

Today...
