Eagle Scout Review Boards hate this one weird trick to start fires with wet wood covered in snow!

Fun for all ages, but less prosecutable as a minor!

1. Save every scrap of styrofoam that you ever see.

2. Buy a regulated container for gasoline (steal or $25)

3. Buy a big butt glass jar with a crew top lid. Idk pickles or something? Rinse it out well and let it air dry (steal or $4)

4. Buy some gasoline ($3-4 per gallon)

5. Pour a little bit of gasoline into the jar.

6. Shmoosh some styrofoam into it and let it melt. It will look gooey, maybe pinkish?

7. Get a feel for how much gasoline you have to add for how much more styrofoam you think you need to add.

8. Shut the lid tight.

9. Don't tell anyone else what you just did.

10. Bring this magical jar with you to every scout camp you ever go to but don't use it unless it rains or snows.

11. See (10). Get the wet wood and schmear your magic goo on the underside. Light it on fire AND STAND BACK! That smoke is toxic, what the frick were you thinking?

12. The wood catches of fire and you saved the day.

etc etc... there's tons of great stuff just like this in his post history

Everyone is outdoors in Oregon!

So proud of this kid.

It's a long list.

The path of totality will be about 9,200 miles long and 115 miles wide, on average, so it will cross through hundreds of towns and some major cities.

A new eclipse map—based on an updated figure for the radius of the sun—was published recently by John Irwin, a master in eclipse computations

Grazing Zone

None of this should alarm anyone who is planning to head deeper into the path of totality, but if you're home or school is the “grazing zone” then ... move on April 8! You will not regret experiencing even a few seconds of totality.

Here are 15 locations in the U.S. and Canada where the path of totality will likely be narrower than previously thought—by around 2,000 ft./600 meters—which means some people that were previously expecting a quick look at the sun's corona will now miss totality altogether.

In all of these maps, the red line is the “classic” limit of the path of totality and the orange line is the “new” limit that uses the latest figure for the sun's radius. If there's a red arrow, it's means a loss. A green arrow is a gain.

Texas And Illinois: Northern Limit

The new map has alarming consequences for cities dissected by the edges of the path of totality. Denton, at the far north end of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, gets a 99.95% partial solar eclipse. The advice was already to travel southeast to the southern half of Lewisville Lake for a short totality. Now it means going a little farther to make sure. It's a similar story in Effingham, Illinois.

Indiana: Northern Limit

Those on the southeast side of Kokomo, Indiana, will glimpse totality for a few seconds‚ but fewer people will see it than previously thought. It's the same with the far southeast corner of Frankfort, while Crawfordsville is just inside the path but has a super-short totality. The latter's northern suburbs are now outside the path.

Fort Wayne in Indiana is now farther from the path than it was.

Canada: Northern Limit

Montreal, Canada's Cité Jardin and its park—which contains the Olympic Village and the Olympic Stadium—are within the path of totality in standard eclipse maps. On Irwin's, it's just outside.

In Newfoundland, one of the last places thought to see totality in North America—Lumsden Beach—now will not.

Ohio: Southern Limit

On the southern edge, it's a more mixed picture, with the “new” limit beyond the “old” limit until the lines converge in Arkansas, then diverge.

In Ohio there are three “edge” cities whose CBDs must be avoided on April 8. That remains the case, it's just a little more extreme now

New York: Southern Limit

The Finger Lakes region of New York—many of its lakes already frustratingly split by the path of totality—now appear to be even less endowed with totality.

You may think this doesn't matter, but there are already many events planned for the edge of the path, and many schools situated near it. Luckily, St Michael's School in Penn Yann, New York is still just within the limit.

Instead of being split in two by the edge of the path, Rome, New York now appears to almost entirely outside of it.

Texas: Southern Limit

There are, however, tow distinct winners from the new map. Although San Antonio still requires great care on April 8 if totality is to be witnessed, the path of totality appears to have widened slightly in its favor.

It's a similar case for Austin, where the city's southeastern region is shunted slightly back into totality. Its airport still misses out, but where once its McKinney Falls State Park was outside the path of totality, it's suddenly now in it.

WHICH MEANS I MIGHT HAVE A BETTER CHANCE AT SEEING IT IN MAINE, SINCE BEFORE IT WAS SEVERELY NORTH OF ME.

(Please let me know if this is wrong flair/wrong title for post/not dramatic enough)

@Aisha @S

Ain't gonna lie.. he done did dug a pretty dope hole.

Going outside can tap into all sorts of things in people. Is camping enough? Maybe not. Perhaps you need to sometimes exterminate those that don't square with your mental illness.

I'm actually surprised this guy's little clubhouse was found by authorities; He did a decent job of trying to hide it.

Its important to be a trans ally! @X

As a 33-year-old transgender woman, Lyla “Sugar” Harrod wasn't sure it would be safe for her to hike the Appalachian Trail when she set out in the spring of 2021. She knew she would encounter the same hurdles as every hiker, like staying injury-free and getting into town to resupply. But she was especially worried about facing judgment as a trans woman on the trail.

“The world and how it interacts with me changed the day I came out as trans,” says Harrod.

“I feel like I've worked so hard to be able to present myself authentically,” she says. “Yet on trail I have to put things in boxes sometimes.”

Encountering transphobia and being misgendered were the two biggest concerns Harrod had prior to starting the trail. “And both of those things happened,” she says. “They will happen on every single trail I go on.”

They decided to put their thumbs down, walk past the truck, and wait until they rounded the corner to hail a ride. But it wasn't long before the truck whipped around and rolled up next to the duo.

“They said, ‘Hey, you girls need a ride?' And then they saw my face, and that I was transgender, and said, “Whoa, you're kind of scaring me a bit,'” Harrod recalls. She immediately turned down the ride.

At a time when 46 percent of transgender people in the U.S. have reported being verbally harassed, 47 percent physically attacked, and 47 percent sexually assaulted during their lifetime, Harrod's fears aren't unwarranted. Violence against transgender people is widespread and active. Yet 1.4 million adults identify as transgender, and 12 percent of millennials identify as transgender or gender nonconforming—a significant portion of the U.S. population.

Harrod hopes to see more nonbinary and transgender hikers on long-distance trails in the future. She recommends connecting with other like-minded individuals before hitting the trail. “Make sure you know that you're not the only one out there. Send me a message—I love talking to other trans hikers,” she says. “Seek out other people who have gone through similar experiences.”

daily reminder we support trans rights in this hole you BIPOCs.
