I love rocking a Stan Smith or a Nike Killshot, but I live somewhere with regular rain. I am looking for an option that is darker so bits of mud/wet grass don’t immediately ruin the look, and also ideally not suede either of course.

I do like the Killshot leathers and that’s a top contender, but I’m curious about other options!

I’m also not a huge fan of solid black shoes.

So I have a single barrel tumbler and have a great mess of stuff from the past few months, much of which has thoroughly broken down. I have a couple challenges to finishing it that I’m not sure of the best solution for.

Mainly, it is too wet now. I would add lots of browns, but the tumbler is getting too full. It’s not soupy or anything, but it has lots of moist clumps of what I believe will be decent compost. The wetness makes it impossible to sift at the moment, and there are uncomposted more recent scraps mixed in.

I’m in the northeast where temperatures will be just shy of 100 at their high over the next few days. I was thinking about dumping the barrel out onto a tarp to let the outside temp help rid it of some moisture, then sift from there.

I’m collecting current scraps in a bowl inside for now, but as mentioned only have one barrel, so I would like to make space in the there to keep adding material that’s piling up inside.

Thanks for tips! I’m excited to get across the finish line with my first “harvest.”

Making our first trip to Glacier this weekend and based on our interests and trail status are considering these three as our favorite options. We will likely limit ourselves to 1 hike per day but all of these are within our comfort zone. Our top interest factor we would rank on is probably most spectacular views. And weather is looking less than ideal for this weekend, so we’re keeping an eye on that, but if any of these trails are more or less impacted during inclement weather conditions for any reason that’s nice to know too. Might be years before we can return so we are overthinking the choice a little. Thank you!

Edit: thank you everyone! Iceberg and Cracker are the winners!

I’m looking to do a long weekend on a lake with a group of 10-15. I’ve been thinking that an ideal would be finding 2-3 places right next to each other that we could rent. Any recommendations? Open to anywhere in New England (and could even extend a bit into Upstate NY or NE PA for a good option). Thanks for any and all ideas!
