No vehicles there, it's 100 miles from town. You have to take a float plane in. We were sitting on lawn chairs, eating beef jerky and the bears were too interested in catching salmon to care that we were there. They occasionally got within 10'.

Yes, there are 5 or less net loops between the inner hoop supports, so it'd can't bunch up.

Sockeye salmon fishing season is over, so I took some time today to clean and put away gear. The bag on my larger net had ripped in several places, so I went ahead and replaced it. I have a Pro Apollo brand net with a removable inner ring. It sure made the job easy compared to a traditional net. No tying knots! https://image.nostr.build/fe98084e0a9e9eaa20d7912fde0125878b8d9ff035ad37e9579044f50533e5d2.jpg

I use the Yolink LoRa system with a temperature sensor and speaker hub. It gives an audible alert and sends out email and SMS if the temperature gets above my setpoint, assuming internet is working. Sensor batteries last about 5 months. It's not the ideal solution because you're relying on 3rd party services, but it has worked reliability for me for the past year. Also, once you have the speaker hub, you can add additional functions. I use it for a driveway alarm, gunsafe door monitor, greenhouse temperature monitoring and to remotely control my truck's block heater.

At what age do you start letting your kids run a gas powered push mower? My ten year old has been bugging me to do it. He's responsible with ATV's and firearms, so I am sure he'd be fine, but I am hesitant because when I was growing up, the kid up the road lost all his toes to a mower and grew up to be a pot-head.
