  1. As long as it doesn't get more major fires that interrupts that process. I've actually burned off my lawn a few years ago and had the same process. The following years I only mowed the grass a handful of times, planted a couple of cherry trees, my spouse redesigned the flower beds and we added a couple more in front of the house and I dug away about a dozen square meters of grass to seed that we replanted with meadow flowers domestic to our country. We also added a small pond by burying an old steel clothes washing sink with fabric sides so that animals would be able to climb out on their own if they fell in and put a bird feeder a few feet from the pond. We now have a huge variety of butterflies, solitary bees, birds, bats, hedgehogs and beetles in our garden, even a few very rare beetles and butterflies on the endangered list. And our cats love watching it all from the kitchen window, though visibly frustrated at us for keeping them indoors as the lovely little murder monsters they are.

  2. Or a "Baba Yaga" type heavy lift octocopter that takes up to 40kg payload

  3. Not to mention that the tire can have been flipped over multiple times in the turbulrncr, each time emptying whatever had accumulated within it

  4. I think you and your friends need a Hägglunds Viking utility tractor, possibly one each, as it's peerless snow and offroad mobility would help you a lot up in BC, it's even amphibious!

  5. Afaik, rattle snakes are mostly a thing in the hot and dry regions of the Americas, not in Canada

  6.  @goblinwisdom  and in Sweden there's a similiar arrangement in some municipalities and others are free, only there are no land fills/dumps anymore, only recycling centers, and most municipalities have fractional sorted household waste too. I have two 340L waste containers at my property line, each with an inner divider and a twin container insert. The bigger fractions are for paper packaging, plastic packaging, newspapers and combustibles. The small ones are for compostables, metal packaging, coloured glass and uncoloured glass. Then there are two small containers that can be hooked on for emptying when needed for light sources, batteries and smaller household electrical appliance waste (like broken computer mice, remotes, toys etc) And for large appliances and other cumbersome waste that is hard to take to the recycling center myself, I can call or go online and shedule a pickup at the road by my property line a limited number of times per year. All of it already included in the mandatory waste handling fee of the equivalent of ~60USD

  7.  @fgb3126  littering and polluting, yeah, that's worthy of a good ass kicking and jail time Tresspassing on land that's not actively in use for other things... that is morally debateable. In my own country, everyone has the right to roam and camp on any non-cultivated land without asking for land owner permission under the conditions that one does no lasting harm to the ground or to any living plants or animals, avoid gardens/lawns around houses, leave the camp site without prompt and with no more than compacted grass and any fire or latrine pits properly covered free of inorganic waste and don't otherwise disturb the peace. We are even allowed to forage berries and mushrooms, and collect dead firewood from the ground. Breaking or cutting anything from standing trees or bushes without provable land owner permission or walking through a farmers field is, however, criminal property damage and taking crops, no matter how little, is criminal theft. It's also illegal to take a motor vehicle offroad without written and registered special permit.

  8. Or build a tripod frame rope bridge, boyscout style, I mean, isn't that what a prospector gets kids for?😊

  9. Would it be allowed to use a suction system to get the gravel into the sluice instead of the shovel?

  10. Is it heavier than an iron lump of the same volume? (Measure volume by gently lowering the rock in a large liquid measuring bowl of water where the water level should be able to cover the whole rock before putting the rock in. Record the measured level on the scale without and then with the rock. When you know the volume of the rock, you weigh the rock. Then you use the statistic mass/volume ratio of iron to calculate if the mass/volume ratio of the rock is similiar to metallic iron. If it is similiar or slightly lighter, then your shiny rock is likely pyrite. If your shiny rock is a LOT heavier than the same volume of iron, then it could be gold or some other heavy metal.

  11. Or find a way to drain it

  12. ​ @Danhurd  not even in the form of a heavy lift octocopter drone?

  13. Can't afford to help directly, but I'm sharing this to the BPL auxilia discord forums.

  14. Why do you use a terrorist icon as your profile image?

  15. I'm curious if there are any pedal or crank and flywheel powered portable vacuums in a similiar size

  16. According to a video a few months ago, it's either at auction or any of the same ways other kinds of land property is traded in Canada

  17. When it's below freezing, why not just drill holes, cut threads in the top inch, fill the holes with water and seal them with threaded steel bolts and leave overnight to let ice do the wedge work?

  18. Dan, someting that I've been a bit confused about for a long time is the lack of a size reference in your closeups. However, I get the impression that most of the gold you refer to as fine is smaller than poppy seeds, while those you refer to as flakes range from the size of poppy seeds to the size of sesame seeds while your definition of a nugget seems to start at the size of a black pepper corn?

  19. So nepherite is essentially the glass of serpentine?
