Maybe ask for suggestions and take the top six. Help to keep things from being lumped together.

Good suggestion, ref100.

I'd personally like to see a "gear" subforum, or something like it. They always seem to generate a good bit of ideas and inspiration.

One particular topic I'd really love to see from FOTH is a "Einar's gear" topic...Gear that Einar carries or would carry if he could, (and wouldn't lose all the time! ;D ) and the reasoning behind the choices. These would be "commercially available" products or things that he hasn't made himself out of natural materials. Would Einar choose to carry stainless steel Nalgene-type bottles if he could, for their ability to carry water but also to boil/treat water and cook in? A Tarp? Fishhooks or fishing line? What about certain tools? (and so on...) I think that would be really interesting.

I know a lot of plants here in Illinois but am still interested in other parts of the states. I am particularly interested in wild edible plants.

I second the plant ID idea - seems there is a lot of knowledge shared in the story and I'd love to learn more about it...maybe put up a snapshot or two from time to time to help me decide what I'm looking at (especially at different times of the year).
Seems the same type of plant can look vastly different depending on locale, elevation, time of year....among other things!

FOTH: For sure! I hear that even in the small town nearest me (40 miles away) store shelves are largely empty. I haven't been off my mountain for over a month, by now. Mar 30, 2020 16:10:20 GMT -6

coastalbob: Hello...hello...hello...is there anybody out there? Apr 24, 2020 13:33:22 GMT -6

steelbutterfly: Qld, Australia is adapting to the new normal. We're creating a new tradition to celebrate ANZAC Day #lightupthedawn Malls are virtually empty, we walk around with masks on like the asians we used to laugh at do. Cafes, restaurants pubs and clubs are closed Apr 24, 2020 16:16:17 GMT -6

steelbutterfly: by government decree. Shops are slowly restocking, but we still have shortages of staples like flour, pasta, toilet paper,milk, bread... People don't laugh and talk together in public anymore, they just rush round getting what they need and go straight Apr 24, 2020 16:19:01 GMT -6

steelbutterfly: home. Our .gov is designing an app that they are talking about making compulsory to have so they can track our movements. This will enable them to find who comes into contact with covid carriers. Many are objecting to it. Apr 24, 2020 16:20:59 GMT -6

cob: They are learning much more from this experiment that we realize I'm sure. I'm willing to bet the DNA they are getting from these public testing with the swabs and blood drops are all going into a big data base. May 22, 2020 9:44:14 GMT -6

FOTH: A good reason to avoid being tested, as well as avoiding exposure to the virus, itself... Aug 2, 2020 14:56:27 GMT -6
