Catch And Release October 27, 2017, 05:18:51 pm Because LDO speaks...I listen.Recently it was mentioned that it is wise to capture the water from the shower head as the hot water outlet comes to temp. This water can be used later for dishes and cleanup. I’ve taken it a step further. It may seem awkward, but I wash my hair in the RB sink and capture all the water in a nylon pail. I then transfer the captured water in empty Arrowhead water bottles and use that water to douse my evening campfire.Following “Smoky The Bears” advice. All my campfires are put “Dead Out” each and every time.https://youtu.be/0pPISy6NxS8Just sayin’Kent 4 Likes
Re: Catch And Release Reply #1 – October 27, 2017, 05:55:55 pm Wow! Great water re-use and campfire safety as well! I suppose the next step might be to be to wash your hair at the end of the evening, directly over the smoldering fire to have clean hair, dead fire, and save on the bottles.And I thought I was being water-conservative by going through the automatic car wash on my motorcycle wearing only a swim suit and not my helmet!No, I'm not going to attach a picture...HD 5 Likes
Re: Catch And Release Reply #2 – October 27, 2017, 06:47:51 pm Harold,You realize that we generally like pictures attached in reference to all things new and improved. Not sure what this young man is saying but he seems pleased with your idea. Clean bike, clothes and a pearly white smile. https://youtu.be/Np7E0yAFKx4Kent 3 Likes
Re: Catch And Release Reply #3 – October 28, 2017, 12:58:55 pm Kent,You find the BEST videos! What a great kid and an adventuresome spirit!When Cyndy and I retired, we took our first and only trip to Europe, rented a motorcycle in Munich and rode over 28 alpine passes in 4 countries. The young German and Austrian riders were really a pleasure to ride and talk with. In general, they are well skilled and fast in the curvy stuff. Although we didn't go through any automatic car washes, we were blessed with 11 days of riding in the rain, some of it so heavy that it was hard to see, constant wet, narrow roads in the twisties, as well as fresh snow on several passes. As a result, when we arrived home, our gear was still clean! Alpine passes have hairpins and switchbacks that make our hairpins look tame. My cataracts hadn't been fixed yet, so I had 20/60 corrected vision. Cyndy rode on the back and through our electric intercoms alerted me to what was ahead, looked for cattle and the resulting cow flops on the roadway, read the road signs and the GPS over my shoulder, got us through the crowded roundabouts in Italy, and alerted me to tour buses coming down the switchbacks above us. At the hotels our friends referred to her as my "seeing-eye wife".We were lost a lot. We rode several miles of a narrow, muddy hiking trail in the mountains when I took a wrong turn, rode through someone's vineyard, and slowly and respectfully rode through the middle of a shopping district with no roads or cars. Lost again. Lots of funny looks from the shoppers, but no ticket, fortunately. Cyndy was OK with all of it, but would have drawn the line at the automatic car wash!HD 3 Likes
