We already went over the idea of my aquaponic fish aquariums in the honk discord. They told me it was a bad idea cause of water physics or something.

This took some digging through my tinder and bumble profiles since I buried my last phone at the beach and lost it and all the good pictures I had of my boats, so I only have a few of me sailing. So here we go with some extras.


So this is the Seacat. It is a flat back canoe that I quickly turned into a sailboat after I discovered water and boating when I came down from the rural mountainous foot hills of West Virginia to the beautiful coastal plains of North carolina. This is not my SHTF boat.


This is me relaxing while sailing in the Seacat.


This is me taking a sailing course at the yacht club near the land of MurderHaus.


This is the Seven Seas. I dont have any sideviews of the boat unfortunately as I never fell overboard, and I dont have my helicopter yet. There are technically three places I can sleep in the Seven Seas and it has a kitchen and a place to put a 5 gallon bucket when I dont feel like making GBS threads in the sea.

Random other tid bits I found on the photo search.

is your sailboat even large enough to have a shitter??? It looks like the cabin is barely large enough to store the sails. Your rigging also sucks, sorry about that

Its 21 feet long. So yeah its a small sailboat. I like them small though. The previous owner tore out the shitter and patched the hole.

You mean the shitter won't produce its own heat? Maybe i should throw some composting stuff in there.

This reminds me of a time on deployment years ago. We were assisting a stranded Pakistani fishing dhow in the indian ocean. Our visiting team went to get onboard, check to see if they could get the engines running, assess the situation, etc. The dhow was rocking like a motherfucker in the giant swells, though. We watched via cameras while they were climbing on a pilot's ladder that was swinging at least 10 rungs in and out of the water. The team essentially could step on the top step of the ladder when the dhow would rock towards them.

One of our guys got a little seasick and had to poo poo. The dhow just had a traditional head up front, so he got to squat over a hole while wearing full battle loadout rocking back and forth and poo poo his guts out. By that point it was dark out so we got to watch him poo poo on the infrared. It was awesome.

It says which state in the code I listed.

So serious talk. Basically the spirit of this code is for pre-existing houses that were built prior to the preference for indoor plumbing (i can go on a rant about this) where houses were built on non percing land. Or for cabins. The state or county currently requires that newly constructed houses have indoor plumbing and running water which includes a way of handling that waste and thus requires a perc test if city water is not available. However pre-existing houses are grandfathered in instead of condemned. My state now has residential codes regarding tiny houses which may shift this preference in the future. Hopefully. Which is a good thing because it is a grave injustice that has led to land being effectively unusable.

My land was determined not to perc by the county 30 years, however, I am an environmental consultant and geotechnical engineer assistant and have worked extensively with soils for years so i surveyed the soil.

The county decided that it did not perc due to saprolite close to the surface (the original owner cut all soil layers down to the saprolite prior to building the church so they didn't have to do extensive foundation work) during my survey however I noticed that sections of the property were actually nonsaprolitic. Particularly where the bamboo forest currently resides. In addition to that bamboo requires a well draining soil to grow suggesting that the bamboo area perks. On top of that there are two privy pits on the property. One retains water, while the other does not which suggests that one privy sits on top of percolating soil which reinforces the idea that the bamboo is growing in a percolating area.

Based on this evidence, I have hired a soil scientist to come out and characterize whether that area percs enough or not for two one bedroom houses or not, and if not to engineer an alternative for me. If there isnt a solution though, it doesnt matter cause city water is headed that way in a decade anyway.

You also said that you're close to the lake, so there's also an open question about polluting that lake. I'm not sure 10 years of seepage liability would be worth waiting for the city

For real look into the power systems for Type 3 ambulances like a poster suggested earlier in the thread because you can get some real good power options.

As a comedy option I'll point out ambulances also have air vents to suck out the tuberculosis or coronavirus or whatever and this could really ramp up your fire pit suicide plans either by venting the fumes or creating a flowpath for fire death.

I am not an ambulance mechanic but I routinely drive deathtrap ambulances with 450000+ miles on them so I have opinions about trucks with powered boxes and I will share them as appropriate.

Mostly I am here for the ride.
