Recycled Fish Net Safe?
Clothes drying on clothesline

At chain craft store Michaels & JoAnne, they have an item called "Recycled Fish Net" which is basically what it says... used once to catch fish at sea & now they cut it into a 4 foot x 4 foot net stored in a bag.

I think it would be cool to build some sort of moss wall that included this stuff in its construction.

It doesn't say if the rope is made of cotton / hemp / some other organic material that can decay. There's no information about what its been made out of or treated with.


Personally I wouldn't trust it. Unless you can tell it's an inorganic fiber it will most likely rot given time under water. Of course, if they are cheap you can always test one by placing it a container of water for a few weeks and see what happens.

Spring is in the air. Flowers are blooming and birds are chirping. But the idyllic weather and balmy temperatures won’t last long: Summer is right around the corner. This means that the time to make good on that New Year’s resolution to get in shape for the summer is upon us. But while planning your routine to achieve those killer glutes and abs, don’t forget about the effect your workout has on the environment. Here are some simple tips to keep getting fit earth friendly.

First of all, the great outdoors has some of the most energy efficient—and simple—workouts nature has to offer. Walking or jogging outside requires little waste-producing equipment other than running shoes, and saves precious CO2 compared to a treadmill workout, which uses two pounds of the stuff for a 30-minute run. And if hitting the pavement for half an hour sounds like a drag, combine a brisk jog to the supermarket with a stroll back home while toting your purchases for a workout that gets your heart rate up and helps tone your arms. Gardening, biking, and hiking also offer excellent opportunities for a zero-emission outdoors workout, and plenty of traditional exercises—jumping rope, squats, and pushups, to name a few—are easy to take outside as well.

Climbing: Powerful Tips to become a good climber

You decided. You will be climbing. You do not know much, but you want to start. Here are some tips and recommendations to assist in your understanding how to become a good climber.

Tips for a good technique.

? Climbing is mentally tough. The ability to free your mind and focus is essential to your success as a climber. If you can think of that you ride, you are worlds ahead of those who can not. Use what works for you. There is no single way for all.

? Control center of gravity (CG). It is usually at the center of your body, somewhere in your abdomen. (Hopefully not less than one!) All your movements start here. You want your legs you directly below or at an equal distance from each side of you.
