Cheez moved out to wilderness, then got free housing, & going back to Wilderness

[nakedfrog]

Use a drone. The video footage will look like that of an untouched amazon tribe. Just hope he hasn't acquired a compound bow.

I'm on board with this plan.

Well water systems are a bitch.

I have a few ideas in mind for water but yeah that will be a whole learning process. Probably do some form of slow sand filter, carbon filter and RO system. Will use rain or lake water as wells are super expensive. Once I live there full time and I find rain water is not cutting it then I will get a well drilled at that point. Winter would require to use snow and that's a bit of a manual process. You get like 1/10 the water per certain volume of snow. I had to do it for a day when my water service was out. I was totally not well setup for it though, given it's not something I ever planned to do here.

But that said, I too wonder where Cheez is, hope nothing bad happened.

Maybe the biggest thing to not overlook is emergency services and access. If you're out in the sticks with unpaved/unmaintaned access roads, it's probably not a big deal when you're young and healthy. But as you age, you're not gonna wanna get snowbound or in an area where an ambulance can't reach you.

Apparently the incidence of heart attacks is lower among people who live on higher floors of high-rise buildings. It's either because they get exercise walking up and down stairs, or because the air pollution is reduced up there. But the survival rate among those in such residences who _do_ have heart attacks is measurably lower, probably because it takes emergency services longer to reach them.
So the wilderness is not the only place where that can be a factor.

Even people in a 2ed or 3rd-floor walkup will show this benefit so it HAS to be from schlepping up/down the stairs I would think no? (2ed/3rd floor wouldn't make much difference at all for air-quality)

Maybe stress from noise might play a factor as well?

Maybe.... but I'm going to stick with the regular exercise of the stairs being the main thing. (many people do pretty much nothing physical at all unless forced!)

Is Pokemon Go still a thing? Put some juicy bonus on (inside) his shack, then leaves clues to it on some big gamer's forums.

There are still many players of Pokemon Go; only one sub has almost a million users. I frequently run into new gamers because I live in a city of a respectable size (via lures and gyms). And after realizing how active this sub is, I actually downloaded the game again!

Finding a sub, discord server, or Facebook group dedicated to your city or town and contacting them are the only ways to play with others.

You know I never met a single fat person when I was in Switzerland. I also imagine that they don't even know what heart attacks are.

Must be all that fine chocolate!

 

[Mai72]

Is he still alive?

Hope so.... no idea.

hopefully that shed can handle -30F wind chills and 30MPH winds

Fuck yeah it can

Lots of people spend many a winter days in their sheds on the ice fishing. Most of the small and medium lakes in IL, WI, MN and MI and some of the bays of the great lakes freeze over every winter and are cluttered with hundreds to thousands of ice shanties.

Sheds are great shelters to get out of the wind, and with some insulation and a heat source, can be quite cozy and warm even if it gets a bit chilly out.

Good luck to yah Cheeze.

Wine and fine chocolate are the secret to good health and long life!

Invest in a shed if you have a vacant plot of land. It does a better job of shielding the bike from inclement weather, thieves, and other harm. Steel sheds for self-assembly cost about £500. Extra space should be left for a sturdy base or floor, as well as a ground anchor.

Run an extension lead over for wanton amenities like a light, battery tender, possibly a small heater or dehumidifier if it is close enough to the house. After that, you can leave the bike with your outerwear to dry. Sincerity be told, a small bit of dry workspace is extremely helpful while changing the chain in February.

I was more referring to the fact that they all live in the alps and "walking down the street to get a baguette" means climbing a minimum 45 degree grade, all the time. It's like living in San Francisco, only more.

They're doing cardio all the time.

He has a small wood stove in there with cardboard heat shield. He's all good.

Seriously though I hope he's alright.

Chez is waiting for the end times?

Busted!!

 

[mindless1]

He's Baaaaaaaaaack.

Something about hacking his old scooter controller to power USB devices because he can't figure out better ways to do it.

 

[VirtualLarry]

which I will be doing once the stimulus checks start rolling in...

Seems that he still believes in incoming stimulus checks. LOL.

(He probably would qualify for disability.)

 

[lxskllr]

Looks like he's doing alright. That's good
