Aww man the mosquitoes... Yep, cover completely up and douse myself in bug spray and the bastards just go for my eyes. I was out fishing one time in a mosquito hell hole and one got me right in the corner on my left eye. Eye was swollen shut for the night and was pretty swollen for a few days after. Trying to drive home through the dark on twisting country back roads was fun with one eye closed and no depth perception.

If one thing is a friendly reminder to get in and out quick it's the bugs.

We get blackflies first and they'll leave golf ball size welts on you, then the mosquitoes hit. They stick around for a few weeks until the dragon flies come out in huge swarms. They're your friends because once they hit, any biting bug gets eaten up. Except last summer, the mosquitoes won that battle because it rained all fucking summer.

Has anybody came close to dying from a broken tree branch while going into the woods? This actually tends to be my biggest worry, once after storms cleared up I went to check on my plants and shake the water off and a branch thicker than my body landed next to me while getting out there small branches scrached me up but I got very lucky. Im very careful with what's above me when i go out now.

That's about as rare as getting almost hit by a falling coconut. I'd call that a good omen.

I did almost lose an eye by a branch when I was a kid. I was trying to light a smoke in the fire pit after lights out and a camp counselor got up. I started running towards my tent and wham! I was turned off smoking for a while after that. lol

No falling tree parts for me but thorny branches freak me out. Call me a dork but I feel much safer wearing safety or sun glasses. My grandma scratched the cornea of her eye walking through the woods once.

Hoypare, here.... have a virtual beer on me. I have questions.
- Do you haul soil or ammend what you have?
- What do you put in your holes? (slow release? lime?...)

I mentioned hiding under a tree if planes or helicopters fly over.

I never said anything about taking a nap under one.

Wow. Animals would dig all my shit up with that recipe.

Anyone else ever grow in a tree by chance? The first grow I did was in a tree hanging 5 gallon buckets in the upper branches with the top cleared out. I hung reservoir buckets with a drip system right above them and visited once a week to refill. Turned out pretty good, and it was a bag seed grow! Bugs and animals were never a problem.
