+I have a feeling you really shouldn't be asking this question and I am not going to spoon feed you on this subject. If people hunt and trap them there most likely is a repository of info that you should be looking into anyway. Hunting is not walking out in the wilderness and popping a random animal, you need to be able to field dress it, how are you getting it back? those crocs weight a lot, can you humanely dispatch it? If you are asking "what is the best gun" I would wager you don't even know where you should be aiming when you shoot it and you shouldn't be hunting it to begin with.

+Asking because I geniuenly don't know what the best gun for the job is. Their hide is definitely tougher than a deers, and shotguns are a no-go for sure. I'm searching for something that can take it down at 100 or 200 yards.

+Its not great for you, but a pipe a few times a week CAN add some benefits. Slows you down, makes you aware of your breathing, gives you a chance to reflect, and introduces you to the intricate details of the hobby. For example, do you want to jump in, smoke a bunch of types of tobacco, and start learning with a corncob, or do you want to really research a good briar and pick a tobacco to match? Either way is fine. Both choices can be done at once. Just make sure you learn from the geezers on the forums, cause they're pretty wise and can save you a lot of struggle with the hobby.

+The book itself is good. I'm not a Tolkien fanatic, but I read and enjoyed the hobbit. Never cared for him as a writer. Lacked a certain quotability in his prose, but i was an English majoe, so take from that what you will. Smoking a pipe for me came down to the reflective, often outdoorsy nature of it, and it got me to step away from the lame, expensive vapes I was buying. Think of it as like giving up the alcoholic gas station slurpees for a shot at bourbon tasting. One is cheap, easy, and potentially dangerous. The other is refined, its pleasure derived from the discipline and familiarity with the products in hand. Of course, don't lean too far into that side of things. It's all just leaves getting smoked in a wooden bowl, after all.

She constantly asks me completely worthless questions like how small to chop table scraps before putting them in the compost.

When you have experience watering a plant and watching it grow, think about what aspect you enjoyed, what would you like to improve on? Soil quality?

+
+>>2574650
+At least seek out good genetics if you really want to fuck around with breeding, go and get the farmers market varieties sold by the 70yr old johnny appleseeds, there's some good heritage genes in there, some even dying out. Just know that if you're only planting Red Delicious Costco Edition seeds you're going to spend 5 years on more mediocre fruit. Select your winners, you'll be able to tell which trees are worth keeping and which ones aren't after their 2nd spring. Try and grow them out in at least a 15L pot. If you have the space and you don't live in Alaska they should be ready to plant out after ~2 years, mulch heavily and protect the buds from frosts etc. When they fruit after a couple of years test your trees and breed your favorites, gotta make sure you don't just harvest Open Pollinated seeds, gotta isolate the flowers and label the fruit so you know which cross is which. Mothers are usually more dominant than Fathers, but you will get probably 2-4 dominant phenotypes from each batch of crosses. If you really cant plant them in the ground, I've seen apple trees fruit successfully in 50L pots, but that's with a grafted dwarf variety with lots of liquid fertilizer and TLC

+First, some trivia.
+It usually takes about a dozen of years from starting a seedling to its first fruit.
+You need enough space to grow multiple trees to get one that tastes good.
+These issues are what deters most people from growing apple trees from seeds. If you have space and patience – go for it.
+If you don't have space & patience, then do graft them.
+And yes, cross-breeding nice trees yields better results.
+
+Grafting apple trees is easy. You can graft a 1 year old sapling in late winter / very early spring (splice grafting). Don't aim for budding, not worth waiting for when you use a generative rootstock. Keep in mind that random rootstock will likely produce a full-size tree (rather than semi-dwarf or dwarf one), and you might need to wait longer for fruits.
+
+> turning these little apple boys into trees
+Growing apple trees from a seed is easy; they survive as long as they don't get overgrown by weeds and have sufficient water.
+Any standard means for helping plants grow works for them. Calamities such as rabbits are not apple-specific.
+
+> Will I get a deep taproot
+The root system is genetically conditioned and does not really depend on growth condition.
+That is one of the reasons why most apple rootstocks are vegetatively propagated.

+I did start the day off with a really bright one and landed thus black rockfish third cast. This is when the overcast wasn't too bad and I had hopes of the sun coming. I switched to a darker swimbait and caught the other 2 because not just the overcast but the water clarity started going to clear but dark to a foggy or milky. I thought in conditions like that it would be better to throw a dark bait because a light one might just blend in with the foggy water, and a dark bait would create more a silhouette and that would get the fishes attention. I'll see if I can find a picture of the water I was fishing and I would appreciate any color combination recommendations

+the only fishing line you can buy that is actually accurate is the stuff for line class records because its guaranteed to break at the rating. Let's say you pick up a random spool of 15# line from the store, it doesn't mean its actually breaking at 15#, it can be 18#, 22#, 25#, etc. its just marketing by the companies. Same thing with line thickness ratings, braided line is not a perfect circle or even oval, the line thickness some advertise is complete bs, and not an actually representative number.

 Barring that, be prepared to empty your fridge. Freezer things spoil in a day or two, fridge items soon after. If you evacuated for several days, just duct tape the door closed and toss it out. Everything will have melted and you’ll never get that smell out. 
 
 Keep books and games on hand. With no power means you probably won’t be going to work. After a day or two you’ll be sitting around your house with nothing to do. “Hurr you need power for entertainment? Durr people lived without it for hundreds of years!” Yeah, and they read and played games. Also most of them farmed from sun up until sundown, or went to social events on their days off. You’re not a farmer and you do t know your neighbors names.

+You can get one that opens from the top to decrease the amount of cold air that flows out when opened.

+>>2574707
+Bro's right. You can practically treat cold sir like water. It flows. It'll flow out your fridge door... unless you have a TUB. A big old freezer tub. Open the door, and all that cold stays in. As a result they're extremely efficient and can run off as low as 30 watts. BUT DONT BE FOOLED, they need a burst of power, up to 1,000watts, to crank their motor, only settling to their super low power after. You'd either want to design your electrics around this (straight 12v if you can find one, no inverter), OR... just use it as a big cooler, no electricity. It'll work as good as the best yeti. 
+
+For heat, you can't beat hydrocarbons.
+You also can't beat bundling up. Your dad was right, heating isn't easy. But if you have pets, or indoor plumbing (pipes can freeze)... you do need to try to heat the place.
+
+There's a lot to get into. It depends on your budget, home size, insulation, etc. 
+But personally, i have 3 coleman pump gas lanterns, and a gallon of gasoline. Heat and light, and super efficient. That one gallon could last me 2 weeks.
+
+If you really wanna get toasty, try a mr buddy, but propane tanks get expensive if you hoard them like you'd need to. They sell out fast in local stores during hardship, buy them now. Gasoline is almost never unavailable, and even at $5 a gallon... a gallon is all you need for those small lanterns or stoves.
+
+Yes, they make gas stoves too. Look into them, it's down to preference really, but i have a pump gasoline one too. 
+Don't buy whitegas, it's just purified gasoline, for like 20x the price. Get a dual fuel, they can handle it.
+
+Lastly, entertainment. No real advice here, everyone has different tastes. Just consider power-free entertainment. Books and art supplies and puzzles and whatnot.
+
+There's enough for a part 3, considering the outside world and it's connection to you (your town's water supply is electricity dependent) 
+But this is already pretty much prepper territory.

+propane is nice in that you don't need stabilizers, gasoline might not be usable when you need it.
+where I live heavy snow almost always means no power, we're only 15 miles from town, but the roads are almost impassable. going into town to get gas for a generator isn't always going to be practical
+
+if you can swing it, a wood stove for heat/cooking, a propane generator. barring that a few deep cycle batteries and an inverter charger to keep them topped off would come in handy for smaller electronics (think cell phone, laptop, etc) to use with an inverter.

+Car battery and inverter or just wait for the power to be switched back on.
+
+If in some weird situation civilization fails and you get blackouts that don't get fixed then probably small scale alternative energy.
+
+Solar is cheap and thermoelectric plates are also cheap if you want to use firewood and heat to generate your electricity. I would use charcoal as well for thermoelectric, or steam, if you can't access or repair solar.
+
+Now Solar thermal is another good low tech alternative energy source, which is not the same as photovoltaic panels like you see normally. There is an interesting publication called Low Tech Magazine that is full of stuff like this.
+
+Let me ask you this: You can figure out a way to provide your own electricity, but what would you do if the internet infrastructure failed?

+
+In some countries, brownouts are pretty common, and electricity is not everywhere or always reliable. A lot of people use car batteries and 12v stuff or inverters as mentioned, especially if you are working on a computer or something and a blackout would destroy your data and keep you from working.

+3 days minimum worth of stored non-perishable food (for each person and any animals), water (for each person and any animals, also account for water for cooking purposes), and fuel (for a generator large enough to run at least a fridge plus a little extra, extra fuel for something like a dirtbike or car is a plus) is the standard minimum IMO. If you skip the generator you should at least be in a good climate or be adjusted enough or have redundant backups (fireplace, wood burning stove, well insulated house etc) to not need any climate control (AC or electric or gas utility heating and water pumping etc might be unreliable).

+This. The less you need, the less can surprise you. Electricity is a convenience, but make it so you don't need it. Fridge is a weakness, store just food that doesn't rot without a it. Have candles ready. Don't store information in digital form, paper is your friend. Electric kettle is useful, but you can boil water on stove too. Try to live in the city like if you lived off the grid. Internet just at uni/public library. Charge your phones in public transport or at your workplace. Collect water in barrels.
