Thank you,there’s poison ivy signs around town,I walked through the undergrowth and my ankles felt a bit tingly,the rash was vivid as soon as I got back on the trail,I am going to the store in a short while,I will grab Calamine.
-
No swelling mate just a really mad itchy rash around my ankles,took antihistamine tablets and just got some antiseptic cream,I have touched giant hogweed in the past and had decent blisters,this is some sort of plant,there’s poison ivy and stuff local.
-
Swings and roundabouts mate,my winter will be very cold.
-
Summer is fantastic,rained for five minutes the other day,sharp shower,still loads of humming birds around.
-
Current leaders mate,current,the EU will impose quotas,anyone failing to meet them will be penalised in some way,shape,or form,times are changing quickly,and the EU as a body aren’t discouraging it,the entire EU is a wet-feet Dry-feet policy sanctuary city,once your in you touched home base.

Seen a tiny beaver dam yesterday,really small ditch right behind a Walmart,you could see the paths where it had came overland,also found a beaver lodge a few days ago on a tiny pond in the middle of nowhere (got a rash around both ankles from some plant,hasn’t blistered like giant hogweed,thinking maybe poison ivy or similar?).

Like father like son I guess,easy mistake to make.

The wests birth rate is in decline,third world birth rate is increasing,it’s like a dam breaking,the water has to go somewhere,Africa and the third world overspill of Asia are flooding into Europe. Africans and Asians are seeping illegally into the states through South America (no visas needed) and Canada,the whole of the western world is the same,parts of California you need to speak Spanish. Places like Poland will eventually fall,they can only hold out for so long before pressure forces them to open up to immigrants,give it time.

Just deleting some pics from my phone,found these from the local cemetery,interesting stone.
-
When you land back at Heathrow a lot of the staff are Indian,those people guiding you towards the immigration queues even have Indian accents,Britain is lost,like it or loath it,it’s the reality of the situation.
-
You could be right.
-
This threads taken me down a rabbit hole,just been watching a documentary on the starchild skull and Peruvian cradle boarding,what a fascinating world we live in.
-
I know those sticky-boards work for lizards,I caught a few gecko on them before.
-
There is mate,seen them in the far-east made of bamboo,snake catching is decent cash in places like Thailand and Cambodia,the snakes go to snake-soup restaurants or to make snake leather normally python or cobra.
-
Just seen a snake glue-board (I see snakes daily,lots around) and a dragon fly deterrent?
-

Lots of turkey about at the moment,did a 20 kilometre walk along a river yesterday,chatted to an apple orchard owner who has had black bear damaging his trees. -
No mate,never heard that before,I do know if you drive near a freshly killed skunk you can smell it inside the car,there’s a strain of weed called RKS (road kill skunk)gets its name from the smell similarity to a fresh dead roadkill skunk.
-
I found a fresh one a couple of weeks back,thought about skinning it but it stank sadly.
-
Can’t see it very well as I just screenshot it from footage but as I got closer he backed up and started putting his tail up,time to retreat,the smell is horrendous.Raccoon and skunk are the easiest roadkill to spot,haven’t seen any dead rabbits though seen a few live ones.
-
I have seen three dead this week,they have zero roadsense.
-
I can imagine them being nice pets,until they start backing up to you and you know what’s coming.There was footage taken by a bloke who saw one in the road,it started walking off and he was chasing it shouting “Hold on” or “Stop” or something.
-
It’s not mine mate,I was chatting to a lady who owns it,its her guard dog/companion,very nice dog though.
-
I the exact same cross three days ago,very well natured dog,your pup looks really nice.
-
Moaning about hard times then you pull out the crisps and D&B pop?Your living like a king,a lifestyle most of us can only hope to aspire to.
