I'm over here in Phoenix and I'm thinking about making a dirt fort in the Salt River and was wondering if anyone would like to join me. I got the idea because I usually go there after work to dig holes and was wondering what I could do with all the dirt and I figured it'd be cool to make a fort and it'd probably piss a bunch of people off. What can they do without their own fort? Well anyways this is political. When men congregate in a common pursuit ideals are born or some shit. Everyone on here is too terrified to organize irl for any other reasons. How can playing in the dirt be a fed trap? Anyways if you're in the area I'm gonna start in earnest next weekend if you're down. That's a week to get digging gear. Shovels and mattocks and shit. Also hydration and sun protection. Even if you don't feel like you're physically capable I'm not gonna turn anyone away, just no women.

I'm not in the area.. but this is very interesting

I wish I could Fren.

>>511452458 (OP)
how much crystal have you smoked today?

>>511452458 (OP)
I live in Phoenix. Are you going to bury me in one of those holes if I show up?

>>511452458 (OP)
What sort of fort? Like a Greenzone compound or just like a big sandcastle?

>>511452543
Thank you Israelbro, I scorn your country but appreciate your sentiment!

>>511452458 (OP)
I am a women. Can I join? I'm real good at digging holes. I live in Tempe.

But what if sand gets in your butt cheeks

>>511452885
I find it sus that of all the responses you got you only see fit to answer Israel flag.

>>511452458 (OP)
What kind of dirt and what kind of fort? Because you could go full fortress and make dirt/mud bricks depending on your location and topography.

>>511452704
I'm California sober, I just really enjoy digging. Just got a new shovel I'm excited to break in

>>511452818
No intents to, you're welcome to come armed if you're spooked, just don't try to bury me either>>511452827
Yeah, I was thinking like building a green refuge for men that's part of the river using locally sourced stone and kiln fired bricks

>>511452458 (OP)
How about hesco barriers?

>>511452902
Can you pretend not to be women?

>>511453111
Look into HESCO barriers.

>i usually go there after work to dig holes

are you a hitman?

>>511452952
It's a risk
>>511453057
The captcha makes me wait obscene amounts of time
>>511453090
It's brutal sandstone and fossilized clay, it's gonna be a fort
>>511453127
?

>>511453174
Sure. I'll wear jeans instead of a skirt and talk with a deep voice. Anything else?

>>511453191
Digging holes is based.

>>511453488
No trannies either

>>511452458 (OP)
Bring a metal detector and look for holes other people dug while you are out there, you may find someone's hidden stash of gold coins.

>>511453548
This guy gets it

>>511452458 (OP)
Fuck your sand castle bro

>>511453182
What are they?

>>511453349
https://www.hesco.com/about/

It's a wire mesh bag that you fill with soil (Can even go further and encase it in concrete or fill them with bricks if you have those I guess). Instant fort, just fold it out and fill it. It can stop a 30mm autocannon or a truck ramming into it at 60mph.

>>511453799
Fuck you, I bet you can't even dig faggot

>>511452458 (OP)
Damn bro, I'm over here in North Carolina. Wish I could join you. How bout I just hoot and holler for ya?

>>511453906
Oh man, yeah. That's like earthing and all that. I don't want to spend any money on materials when I can just kiln brakes and limestone and make mortar and use rocks and bricks

>>511454208
Exactly how defensive and how extensive are you expecting this "fort" to be?

>>511454199
Make a fort there. I'm from the east coast plenty of prime real estate for forts

>>511453966
>sprays your castle with a hose
Hahaha melt away!

>>511452458 (OP)
This sounds amazing but I am too far away

>>511452458 (OP)
Good luck anon. If I lived near there I'd come help you make a whole city to play paintball in.

>>511454307
It's not hard to build fortification from what's on hand, your isles are littered with super old ones. Also if you got limestone you got concrete.

>>511452543
you already have as much dirt and sand as you could want, yet...

>>511454592
Draw a diagram of a cross section of your fort wall (ideally with what its made of labelled) as well as a rough sketch of it from above please.

>>511454736
I don't have a plan for the whole thing just gonna wing it. But I know how to build walls and load bearing structures from raw material

>>511454413
dude it’s phoenix , there are no hoses and no water
this is actually a good idea
massive support OP from your neighbor in UT

>>511455284
what’s going on with your R bud?

>>511455284
Can you build a wall that will stop a 30mm autocannon or a tank driving into it?

>>511452458 (OP)
nice sandcastle anon
hmu itt when you go full mandala

>>511454456
>>511454532
>>511454199
Thanks brose, if it ever becomes a thing and you find yourself needing something to do in life maybe come give a hand.

>>511454672
Lmao

>>511455295
Lmao this guy knows
>>511455356
The only pens I have right now are those shitty flimsy jail pens so they're hard to write with

>>511455295
Im an phoenician on vaction coming back mid august, Will you still be there digging??? And can i bring my friend Roland and do you smoke crystal meth too??

>>511455295
Ill bring whatever you need me to bring

>>511455917
I'll probably still be at it. I don't smoke meth but I don't mind if you do

>>511455917
Where are you vacationing?

>>511452458 (OP)
Buy 500 bulk FIBC bags. Couple of hundred $ if you buy them in buk.
Hire a front loader, just a small one will do.
Use the front loader to fill the bags with dirt. You should be able to construct something substantial in 1 day.
It's as close as you'll get to a HESCO wall.

>>511456911
The intent is to not spend money but time. To do it in so short a time defeats the purpose

>>511457274
In his defence a couple hundred bucks isn't much for a drastic effort decrease and doing it in a short time means you'll be able to increase the scale and work out more finer details

>>511457566
For one thing, I'm not trying to rent equipment to come use on land that I don't even own, another thing is the location isn't very accessible to just haul things in like that, it's a dry riverbed. Finally, I enjoy working with my hands. The refinement we've come to with hand tools alone is amazing. It's not about just the product, you know?

>>511452458 (OP)
I'm in, can I bring my snow fort brick cutters? I can make a small gas engine (or gah electric motor) driven drill rig to get water to make the dirt suitable for mud/bricks. -> Yupperanon.

>>511458343
Sounds good anon. I'll post around 9 tomorrow after I scout around. I'm hoping that it'll be suitable before the water rises again

>>511457274
> I plan to wank around accomplishing nothing
Results are what matter.

Buy some bags, hire a loader for a day and actually accomplish something.

>>511458007
>on land that I don't even own
Oh, thought it was on your own land, not just the outback

>>511459000
It's kinda in the bush

Sorry bruh, I got up at 2 am and did my business by 8. I'm inside for the day. Too hot to be digging holes in this barrio called Phoenix.

>>511460073
Yeah, I'm not out when it gets over 105 for sure, I've been thinking about getting canvas tarps for shade
