The #MaineGearLibraryNetwork.

"The Maine Gear Library Network exists to share resources and knowledge in order to grow equitable and low-barrier access to outdoor gear for communities across the state.

Gear libraries statewide:
Adaptive Outdoor Education Center – #BrunswickME
Katahdin Gear Library – #MillinocketME
#KindlingCollective – #PortlandME
Maine Bound Adventure Center – #OronoME
#MaineGearShare – #BrunswickME
Skowhegan Outdoors – #SkowheganME
#OldTownME / #OronoME Gear Library – In Development

Partners:
#CurtisMemorialLibrary of Things – #BrunswickME
#Wabanaki Public Health & Wellness – #BangorME
Maine Office of Outdoor Recreation – Statewide

The Maine Gear Library Network is a growing coalition of community organizations working together to make outdoor adventures more #accessible, #affordable, and #sustainable.

From #tents and #backpacks to #snowshoes and #kayaks, gear libraries around the state are helping more people get outside, regardless of income, experience, or zip code. By sharing resources and knowledge, the Maine Gear Library Network is building a culture of collaboration and sharing, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to explore and enjoy Maine’s incredible natural places.


What is a Gear Library?

A gear library is a community-powered lending program that provides low-cost access to outdoor equipment, such as kayaks, #bikes, backpacks, snowshoes, and more. Their models may differ, but these gear libraries share a common goal of supporting equitable access to the outdoors by removing the barrier of gear ownership, inviting more #Mainers to connect with nature."

MEE – Middle East Monitor: “Israeli fighter jets struck medical warehouses near a hospital in the central Gaza Strip early Saturday”

Il massacro continua secondo tutte le caratteristiche specifiche del genocidio, in quanto – ovviamente – di genocidio si tratta.

... #rapidresponse, a private antihomeless org co-owned by the portfolio managing partner of seattle wealth management, is in the business of plundering from the poor and #homeless:

pictured are the active sorting and storage of loot stolen from #evictions and destroyed #encampments, which includes #kids #bikes, #medical and #disability assistance equipment, #tents, blankets, #clothing, etc....

...round2: a show of strength after successfully retrieving property stolen by #rapidresponse t3rr0r1sts...as well as picking up a wonderful #donation of more #tents from a comrade on another coast...

essentially "...every time you take us out, we multiply...(in our numbers, our efforts, our determination, and our #solidarity.)

📷 & words by Naeema

"💔 Tents are no longer just shelters; they have become overcrowded spaces where people struggle to survive each day. Cramped conditions, almost no personal space, and poor sanitation make life even harsher. Amid the heat, dust, and unbearable odors, people do their best to preserve their dignity, but the suffering is impossible to hide. What we need is not sympathy, but a life worthy of human beings."

Imagine living in a plastic box under the July sun. This is our reality today; the heat inside the tents intensifies our suffering every moment. There is no escape, no shade, and no hope except Your mercy, O God.

TechCrunch: Meta steals a tactic from Tesla and builds data centers in tents. “In a bid to cut construction time in half, Meta has built six tents — or “rapid deployment structures” as the company describes them — outside of New Albany, Ohio, according to Michael Thomas, founder of Cleanview, which tracks data center deployments.”

Four solo backpacking tents I'm reviewing for @tgomagazine #tents

During my youth, the Blanket Stand was always the first game of chance one encountered upon entering the Grange Fair and Encampment in Centre Hall. Pennsylvania, 1973. #grange #grangefair #grangefairandencampment #encampment #glamping #blanket #blankets #blanketstand #gamesofchance #gameofchance #gambling #gamblingstands #fair #fairs #carnival #carnivals #summer #summerfun #summerentertainment #entertainment #entertainments #camping #pink #blue #colorful #tent #tents #enjoyment

My favorite part of summer as a child was going to the Grange Fair and Encampment in Centre Hall with my Grandmother and her family. 1973. #grange #grangefair #grangefairs #grangers #encampment #camping #glamping #campout #tent #tenting #tents #rides #amusements #pretzels #candy #cottencandy #gamesofchance #stands #fairgrounds #centrehall #centrecounty #endofsummer #harvest #harvesthome #harvesttime #family

I grew up attending the Grange Fair and Encampment as did my father before me and my grandmother before him.

Camp of the Shah's court while on an excursion in Vashi Canyon, Iran, ~1900

https://piefed.social/c/historyphotos/p/1999016/camp-of-the-shah-s-court-while-on-an-excursion-in-vashi-canyon-iran-1900

A new storm, a new struggle…
The heavy rain is flooding our tents. I quickly grabbed the broom I had to make a sand barrier to protect our tent from being flooded, instead of resting in warmth… We are trying to protect whatever little we have.
We urgently need your support to help us survive and protect our children and homes in these harsh conditions. 🙏

Continuing Thread on #HammockCamping

Some #hammocks have an absurd number of lines IMO. The fly in the first photo has eight lines! The netting examples in the second image have four or more lines *before* we even get to the fly!!

I quickly discovered that the netting and fly should be attached to the main straps (so you don't have to round the tree a second time). Exactly how this works will vary depending on the hammock design.

Continuing Thread on #HammockCamping

I prefer hammocks with a "spreader bar" at the shoulders.

These hammocks use a short, flexible tent pole. They can be pitched without additional staked-out lines. The pole supports the bug-netting, keeping it away from your upper body. It can also support the rainfly as is the case with the hammock on the right. The extra weight is minimal. It can be hard to find this configuration. 🙁
