Ammo can in the woods (sh.itjust.works)
 

Bushwhacked for half an hour to get to this one in the middle of the forest.

You just need to dig a little deeper to find the final! (sh.itjust.works)
 

This was in a recent puzzle cache I found. All these wooden blocks in a large container, which spelled out the title phrase when arranged correctly. The final container was, indeed, buried in the same spot!

Found it! (sh.itjust.works)
 

Just a regular old find while walking around the neighborhood, but it made me happy so I wanted to share

The latest batch fo pickled veg (sh.itjust.works)
 

Made a bigger batch than usual this time, 24 jars total. Besides pickles (which I've made lots of), I also tried garlic, radishes, bell pepper and cabbage for this round.

I love the colour of the red cabbage especially. Can't wait to try them in a few weeks

Repair Advice: Broken Bamboo Cup Lid (sh.itjust.works)
 

I'd love some advice on repairing or replacing this bamboo cup lid, which has lasted around 5 years otherwise!

I've thought about doing a kintsugi type repair, since I still have the broken pieces:

However, most kintsugi kits I've seen for sale online are either pretty expensive or not meant to be in contact with food. I'm cautious about using a cheaper epoxy for that reason as well -- I'm not sure how concerned I should be about chemicals leaching into my coffee even after it's cured.

Maybe I should just look for a replacement lid online? This one is about 9.5cm across, but I'm not sure they come in standard sizes

I was recently looking at old posts in this community, and it reminded me that it's been over a year since I repaired these two backpacks and made a few posts about the process.

Both of these have held up remarkable well in a year of near daily use. Some of the shoe-goo sealant is starting to detach in places:

But most of it is still in place. The fabric patches and sewing line I used to close the rips are also still in one piece:

The shoe goo is still in a drawer somewhere, so I may apply a fresh coat at some point, if more of it flakes off. But overall, I'm really happy with how these have held up!

Transylwine - Geocache of the Week (sh.itjust.works)
 

"clever outdoor art installation: that’s what most passersby will think as they pass GZ. Little do they know, one of these bottles is not like the others. Thanks to the custom label, geocachers should be able to locate the correct bottle easily enough. Uncorking this cache will be a whole other challenge, though. Those who partake in puzzles will know to check the cache page to decant the mystery of this cache."
