That’s way different! Good to hear!

Thanks! You mean I should get some of those sma adapters and some of those little stick antennas? Or something even bigger? Recommendations?

I’m a ham and I’ve got a nanovna, I could try making a ground plane antenna for 915mhz.

My plan is to put a repeater/router up on my tower 30ft up, as well as on a couple of my friends roofs, hopefully making a stable emergency channel between us. I’m between my buddies, 13 miles between the furthest ends, I’m almost in the middle.

Well, also no. I mean, I do, and so do many of my friends. But many people rely on all seasons. It’s… Not the best plan. But a lot of people do it.

This is us basically. Though we’re pretty busy, so we usually try to cook 2 maybe 3 meals a week, and eat the leftovers on the days in between.

Don’t get me wrong, we cook good stuff, we just purposely make a lot. I’m not going through all that effort for one tiny meal, unless it makes sense to do so, like we won’t be home for meal times or something so it would go bad.

But we keep some premix stuff around, and I have a few fast but not so healthy scratch recipes I can whip up in a jiffy. That’s usually us on Tuesday nights.

I’ve got one where I literally just throw rice, chix broth, frozen precooked (by me) chicken, frozen mixed veggies, and garlic/other spices into a rice cooker. That way I can just slap it together, jump in the shower, and eat quick before leaving again. Sometimes life is just that way.

Tell me more.

I’d like to make these pancakes you describe. I’m assuming you melt the butter first before mixing it in? Roughly how much milk is a good starting point?

I used to make Bisquick pancakes all the time, and recently changed to a name brand just add water kind because I tried it for camping once and realized it tastes just as good as the Bisquick, or good enough. I’m assuming that’s because Bisquick pancakes are also not actually that good, based on others in this thread.

I like convenience, but I also like good food. I’m gonna make both and do a blind taste test with the wife.

I said I’d report back, and I forgot 😬

I’ve gone a few times now, and haven’t used a pillow. Though I’ve been using an 8ft hammock, and I’m 6ft tall, so maybe that has something to do with it. I finally broke down and bought an 11ft hammock, it’ll be here tomorrow, and I camp with it in a few weeks. So again, I’ll report back 😁

Agreed. Though I think it’s cool, it’s gonna be spendy.

If it could be less than $150, or better yet less than $100, I’d be in. Otherwise I might pass.

Right? I’m seriously going to do this. I have a big bag of frozen nuggets in the freezer for part of my quick breakfasts, and just add water pancake mix in the cupboard… why haven’t I done this yet?

Been there, felt the pain

Ooh, yeah, that’s a bit different… Not a good look
