It looks way too close to the wall. She likely does not want to put her head there, especially when someone’s watching. Would be good to get it another 2-3 feet away from the corner at a minimum. May make her more comfortable to enter it on her own and hang tight while snackig on some grain until you can lock it.

Regarding closing the gate, you can use a pulley system with a friction lock (like on a sailboat). This would allow you to stand far to the side, or even behind and securely close it, at least temporarily, until you can put a bolt/pin in. The system just needs to be strong enough to hold it to the side. Their necks are strong, but not super strong side to side (compared to up/down), doesnt need to be bullet proof. You’re mostly trying to keep them from backing out.

Piano wire hammer/striker…can’t remember the technical term.

I used Xmind for years and absolutely loved it. Its been a few years since I used it, so not sure what its like anymore. The paid version is significantly better than the free version.

I spent hours on the Star Wars webring. Practiced jedi meditation, was convinced I could move stuff with my mind, and learned all about Kashyyyk.

Exactly!

Frost River. They can be a bit heavy, but are lifers. They typically make portaging packs, but their daily bags are made just as durable.

Sandwiches are eaten like a typewriter. It drives my partner bonkers, she says I’m nuts…jokes on her, she’s still hanging around 😂

I checked out the Castle book so much the librarian practically had it ready for me as I walked throttle door.

That’s impressive, I never found an electric that I liked.

I second the safety razors. Except I’ve been running through the same box since 2016 and I’m barely half through. Takes a bit to learn, but when I want a real smooth shave nothing beats it (except maybe an actual blade razor).

Like everyone else said, he understands there’s a mean stabby person, and that you love him. As far as science can tell, they don’t understand that what’s being done to them is for their own good. It’s why veterinary chemotherapy tries not to go so hard to induce the bad side effects nearly as much as in humans. Humans understand why they feel so bad and that it’s somewhat temporary. Since animals don’t (as far as our understanding), we try not to push them into the puking, losing hair, feeling like udder crap zone. If that happens they usually dial back the dosage so the side effects are better controlled.

Halo, Arkham Asylum, KOTOR. Honorable mentions (so hard to pick just a few) - Assassin’s Creed II, Ocarina of time, Dark Forces

Basically this.

I had a lodge that I didn’t do anything but cook on, didn’t have any issues. The ex got that one. Had an old crappy one that I couldn’t get to non stick the way my lodge did, then I sanded and seasoned it well before next use. By far my favorite pan years later.

It’s kinda funny just how strong folks’ opinions are on this.

My go to knives are Mora and Opinel. Have only had to buy new ones because I lost it.

For a backpack, Frost River is a bit expensive, but they are practically bulletproof.

Sand the crap out of any new pan can make a ‘meh’ pan into a ‘muah’ pan. A lot of them aren’t nearly as smooth as they could/should be. We bought a cheap one that was quite bumpy, sanding down was a night and day difference.

I do everything I can to never unbutton. However, if I have to I start at the top.
