Milsurp stores sell gas masks and replacement canisters.

I imagine every milsurp store within 100 miles of the fire is sold out by now though.

make your own smoke escape hood with a heavy-duty garbage bag and a few cans of dust-off

fake edit: i googledBing-ed 'exit bag' when i couldn't remember what smoke escape hoods were called and well they're not quite the same thing :v:

it’s a good thing they intentionally released all that horrible toxic gas because otherwise it all would have been released by the fire, which would have been worse for some reason.

how can people look at this and not see the transparent pretend made up control the government is fabricating. “don’t worry guys; this is on purpose”. *ten billion tons of pitch black toxic smoke covers surrounding hundred miles*. “this is all under control”

It's good to know that there's apparently absolutely nothing at all we can do about train crashes involving toxic chemicals except release them directly into the atmosphere

But im sure as soon as the flames go down the whole area will just keep doing their thing and in a few years someone will buy a house, plant a garden and unknowingly start poisoning themselves with some fresh home grown tomatoes.


This is about 2.5 miles from the olde 'family farm' on my mother's side.
Spent many days down there with my legit BAMF grandpa (and also grandma) growing up.
A sad, broken and depressing place - surely this will help

I know its just one of an seemingly infinite number of insane realities, large and small, now and to come... but it makes me feel like a scene from a half remembered movie some two decades old https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BI1dT1F3qY

Those are rookie numbers. Show me 5% displaced in a year and then we can talk about these so called, "climate related population relocation challenges".

Officially 1.2M have died in the US and the population of the US is ~330M, that puts it at ~0.4% if everyone has gotten it, which they haven't (though it's close).

i've got a new friend who has moved into the woods around my house, and they finally stood still long enough for me to get a blurry phone picture:


it's a pileated woodpecker! they haven't lived around here in decades but this big guy has been swooping around this winter and seems to have finally moved in close by

two years of consistently providing food and especially water seems to have been providing some stability for local birds, both migratory and overwintering ones. the ongoing drought has dried up all the little ponds and creeks around here, and the last summer saw lots of little critters so desperate for water that i had to build little escape ladders out of all my rain-barrels after some unfortunate drownings

this fall and winter has seen a real population explosion in the spruce copse beside my house. there's a mated pair of blue jays, a mated pair of whiskeyjacks (one of my faves), at least two pairs of ravens, endless numbers of hairy and downy woodpeckers and a few different models of owls, along with swarms of feathered riff-raff. also a family of red foxes moved in behind the garden the year before last and boy are they noisy in the mornings during spring
