CargoNetComplete

I needed some more storage in the the Magic Bus and decided to make my own cargo net for the ceiling. They were over $25 at Wallyworld. The cost for this one? $8 and about an hour and twenty minutes of my time. No problem. I learned a new skill......thats how life is. This kind of netting can be used to make snares, gill nets, carrying bags, chairs, hammocks, the basics for a shelter...you name it. It all depends on the diameter of the cordage or string you use, the size of the diamonds woven and the overall size of the net.

6 Genius Cooler Hacks

This rotomolded cooler tested off the charts :


Super Charge Your Camping Cooler
6 Great Cooler Hacks

SUPER POLAR BEAR TUBES
You may know a polar bear tube is a PVC pipe with water inside it and the ends sealed. You store them in the freezer and put them in your cooler when it’s time to go. They are a reusable, space-saving, high-efficiency, no-mess solution to keeping your food cold while camping. You can make SUPER polar bear tubes by adding ½ cup salt per gallon to the water in those tubes. The salted water freezes at a lower temperature so the ice in the tubes lasts longer.

To make your own Polar Bear Tubes, measure the internal dimensions of your cooler and determine if you want the tubes to run the long way or the short way in the cooler – you may want some of each. Also measure the internal dimensions of the freezer where you’ll store the tubes when not in the cooler! You want them to fit easily in the freezer, too.

Cut PVC tubes one inch shorter than the length you measured. Use either 1 ½-inch or 2-inch PVC pipe. Remember, the larger the mass of the ice inside the tube, the longer it will last, so larger tubes will stay cool longer than smaller ones.

With an appropriate sized cap and PVC cement, seal one end of the tube. Follow directions on the cement for drying time, then fill the tube just over ¾ full (80 percent is about right) with salted water. The empty space allows expansion of the freezing water without breaking the tube. A mix of ½ cup salt per gallon of water will result in a solution just a bit more salty than seawater. It will freeze at about 28 F rather than 32 F.

Carefully seal the open end with cap and allow to the cement to cure with the tube standing upright so the water doesn’t reach the cement. Decorate the tubes anyway you see fit. Make them unique, because you want to keep track of your SUPER tubes. Once the cement is cured, put the tubes in your freezer, and they will be ready for your next outing.

MAKE A GREAT GRIPPY BOTTOM
When you throw a normal cooler into the bed of a pickup truck or on the wet deck of a boat, it slides all over the place. It gets banged up and wrecks stuff around it. Heaven forbid, you should want to stand on it to get a better view of … whatever. A few large anti-skid pads strategically placed on the bottom of the cooler quickly eliminate all those problems.

To ensure good adhesion to the plastic, if the surface is rough smooth with some sandpaper or emery cloth. Then use rubbing alcohol to clean off the places where you intend to attach the pads.

BUILD A FALSE BOTTOM BONANZA
Those Super Polar Bear tubes you made in Hack #1? Another great use for a couple of them is to support a false bottom in your cooler. That way if you use regular ice in addition to the tubes or any of the frozen food thaws, the run off drains to the bottom of the cooler but the contents stay high and dry above it.

Making a false bottom is so easy! Get a length of that white, coated wire shelf material. Cut it down so it fits in the bottom of the cooler. Zip tie two or three polar bear tubes between the wires and lay the system in the bottom of the cooler. Voila! You’re done. No more nasty melt water and who-knows-what-else slurry contaminating your camping food.

WORLD’S MOST IMPORTANT COOLER HACK
The best thing you can do to preserve ice and keep everything colder is put an added layer of insulation at the top. A couple of custom cut pieces of foam insulation work well, but even better is a flexible foam pad (like the backing on mouse pad) that can lay over the top. Then when you open the cooler you lift up only the end of the pad you need to access what you’re after.

The more insulation, the better. Take whatever material you decide to use for your cooler pad and cut to size so it fits snugly just at the top of the cooler. If you go for two layers, cut the inner layer in half and glue it to the single top layer. This makes a “hinged” lid so you only expose half the contents to that nasty warm air when you open it.

Can You Reattach a Severed Finger? ????

DIY Hammock Stand

I had some conduit so I just got the bolts at the supply house. I would go with 4 1/2 inch or 5 next time. The 1 inch EMT is strong and I would say might hold up 300lbs (maybe). You will need to judge for yourself. Be careful, while one person can set it up,a helping hand can keep you from bending your lower bolts as I did.
Now, for some paint and end caps to keep the dirt out of the conduit. Take your time building, I spent about 40 minutes.
The conduit can cost $10 to $ 15 each. The eye Hammock Sbolts were $4.

Backyard Obstacle Course with Cargo Net

In an effort to keep my kids active and to comply with social distancing measures, I set up an obstacle course for them in the backyard. I was able to set this up in about 10 minutes and provided an afternoon of physical activity and enjoyment. I ran it a couple times myself.

吊货网结是先把一条垂直放置的绳子做一个圈,另一条绳子水平穿过绳圈,连主绳一起绕一圈,先在垂直方向拉紧绳结,然后水平方向拉紧绳结,就完成一个结点了。
一日一结小常识:
吊货网结是用来吊装货物时使用的绳结。在重型绳索上无法使用基本的接绳结来编制网格,这时就需要用吊装网结来制作,长绳和短绳混合系打,长绳需要垂直放置,短绳则水平放置。

Philippine Outdoor | Masungi Georeserve

The Masungi Georeserve is a conservation area and a rustic rock garden tucked in the rainforests of Rizal. Masungi’s name is derived from the word “masungki” which translates to “spiked” - an apt description for the sprawling limestone landscape found within.

Masungi Georeserve - Discovery Trail.
1. SAPOT. Formed in the shape of a spider web, Sapot is a viewing deck high above the peaks of Masungi.
2. LAMBAT. The first rope course that is a rope net that allows us to climb a rock wall and onto the rest of the conservation.
3. DUYAN. A giant rope hammock, Duyan is one of Masungi's most photographed rope courses.
4. BAYAWAK. A steep rope course shaped like the local monitor lizard. The trail may be difficult but it's worth it when you get to the top of the karst terrain of limestone rocks.
5. SAWA. You can stroll through the belly of a giant python, a long hanging bridge safely enclosed in nets and ropes.
