Can I use Stainless Steel wire for this?

I am a complete newbie for wire wrapping. I have ADHD and I pick up new hobbies as a project inspires (hits me upside the head with a 2x4) me.

I want to make a few cabochon pendants. I would prefer to do stainless steel because of the price, sturdiness, and durability. But I have read about how it is harder to work with and can work harden.

I am planning on doing this ( https://youtu.be/vUwMGEta1go?si=74HCwTDgboqJ2nn0) tutorial. It calls for 20g & 28g round dead soft copper.

Can I do it in stainless steel? Do I need to use a bigger gauge to be easier to manipulate? Should I just give up my stainless steel dreams and get a colored copper instead?

Where to buy quality beads

I want to make 2 bracelets with 10mm beads. One black (not just dark green) and one white (true white not ivory).

Where online would I find good quality untreated/undyed beads?

Yuba Mundo v4 Kickstand

I need to replace my kickstand for my Yuba Mundo v4.

The problem is that it isn't available locally and I saw on a site that had it online that they were not allowed to ship it.

Does anyone know what double/center kickstands are compatible with it?

I tried the Ursus Jumbo but it gets in the way of the chain.

Give me 5 Exercises for a 41 year old Woman trying to start a healthy habit

I know I can look this up myself, but I have ADHD and have a tendency to hyper focus and accidentally over commit to the new exciting thing.

I am 41 and overweight with small children that I need to chase after. I know I need to get into the habit of doing exercises (and stretching, but that is for another post) since I am both in the use it or lose it stage of life and I need to keep my bone density up.

I am wanting to start with 2 exercises (3x10) a day for 5 days a week to develop healthy habits and to hopefully add more as I get into the routine.

What exercises would you recommend that are easier to maintain good form and are functional/multi-muscle group? (As much as I would love to do regular squats I don't have the flexibility to do them, stupid tight calves).

I have a variety of weight plates, dumb bell bars, a barbell bar, a weight bench, and an adapter to turn a dumbbell into a kettle bell.

Favorite Stakes

I am just starting out and I want to start building up my gear. I am trying to figure out what stakes I should add to my kit for both a hammock stand and tarp.

I know that there is no one size fits all stake. So, I want to know what are your favorites for sand, soft, medium, and hard rocky ground.

What variety do you like to take with you?

I am going to be car camping for the foreseeable future, so I am not counting grams.
