In a similar vein, I'm currently tearing out a patio, putting in a fence, and starting my garden. I refer to this as "Minecraft LARPing" because that convinces me to actually get off the computer and go outside to do it.

I 'Minecraft LARPed' a new fence around my porch yesterday. Felt good.

I tried Minecraft LARPing on a much smaller scale last summer, since I live in a townhouse that I rent. I got all the materials necessary for a few nice little potted plants, and started to grow them. Just a few herbs and flowers. They died. Plants always die with me :(

I'll be minecraft LARPing a new roof on my parents house in a couple of weeks. I wonder if they'll let me build it out of stairs and half slabs...

I started over 100 seeds, put em in my basement, rat ate em all... caught the rat in a humane cage trap so he was alive C: .... then threw the trap in our pond, restarted all plants. Tilled out a garden 20x20 ft. and yes i imagin im minecraft larping. ohh crap i gotta go get that trap out of the pond...

Wait, you use cage traps that don't kill so you can throw em into a pond?

that way you get to watch them die :creepygusta: and it is actually really hard to find lethal traps. at least where I live.

I do the same thing: I have a non-lethal trap, but I kill anything I catch in it. There *IS* a good reason for this. I have cats that I care about. My neighbors also have pets. Before I kill anything, I want to confirm that it's something that needs to die. Having a live trap lets me sort out the cats from the squirrels before the killing happens.

If anyone has any good ideas how to automate sorting cats from squirrels, I'd like to see a tutorial video.

God damnit, we really need a +1 reputation button somewhere on these forums. Thanks, Anarchitect. Now I have to clean up the soda I spit.

It's more than that for me. Squirrels eat the tomatoes from my garden. But I have a rule around here, see. The calories from my garden are MINE. I'm gonna get them one way or another. Prepared correctly, squirrel is delicious.

Here's a little IRL tech tree for you: Acorns are actually edible if you soak the tannic acid out of them. This takes repeated boilings, and you make a lot of tannin water as a byproduct. But then you can grind the acorns up in a coffee mill, and get acorn meal. Acorn meal can be substituted for corn meal in most recipes.

The tannin water byproduct? You can use this to tan leather, such as squirrel hides. So I get a nice squirrel and acorn bread dinner, and a new squirrel fur.

So there you go, Flowerchild. Add acorns, tannic acid, and squirrels to the Mod. (Caution: not a real suggestion)

My kind of nuts! Yummy, yummy squirrels... Well, if you cook them right. Gamey, otherwise.

I've seen a great recipe for reverse rat sausage where you remove the gallbladder and simply push the rats intestines into the guts with a finger.

Might work with squirrels too.
