haha, that's the exact same epilator I gave such good reviews on in the beauty parlor that a bunch of kiwis bought it.

I have no idea why they'd want to use charcoal pencils over china markers if they're going to be doing any outdoor work/marking. Charcoal pencils will smudge like all hell and fuck off at the slightest hint of rain unless you get something to set it with which would just end up costing you more money than just buying some grease pencils from the local hardware store. If you have to use regular pencils get something with a harder lead in it that's more smudge-resistant and less liable to get washed away.

i Doubt they’re for farming. They most likely want them for a sketch book and there’s way better charcoal than that. Not that I’d expect the sketchbook to get used Anymore than kevs tablet. also that garmin is just to make them feel cool because I could understand if they wanted one with satellite phone calls, but since they didn’t ask for that I’m really assuming it’s for style points. theres equally good terrain mapping software for your phones that would accomplish the same thing. The biggest bonus is probably looking official and not having to charge it as often.

The only farm animal I've ever seen wearing a watch must be Shaun the Sheep. Maybe their flock is more versatile than I thought.

Just in that screenshot alone is over $1300 of crap. Are they fucking serious?

Buying art supplies from Amazon is honestly my last resort, Blick has much better supplies without requiring you to sell half of your organs for a tin of shitty pencils like Amazon tends to. I don't know much about satellite phones but I'm like 99% sure you could find a much less expensive model with all the basic shit you'd need it to do, but then it wouldn't look quite as official as having a Garmin model strapped to them I suppose.

Since when does the tranch have bees?

I doubt they have them yet, I just assumed it was a future plan, ie once they get the gear they will do it. I'd support that, boosting the local bee population might be the one good thing they do.

They've mentioned wanting to expand to include bees before, which is actually a pretty good idea but knowing these guys they'll fuck it up somehow.

I can't wait seeing a bundle of hulking personages wrapped up in dresses running for their life, followed by a swarm of very, very pissed-off bees.

They can barely maintain their own health, how the hell would they be able to keep up with potentially dozens of hives (unless bees are pretty low maintenance, which I assume they aren't) which then brings up the question of just what their grand plan is with any of this ranch really? I may have missed it but what exactly is the end goal here? An agricultural center to make money, some sort of weird organic kale factory for people with down's syndrome, weird neverland-ranch-style animal sex house?

They finally realized that alpacas are not profitable animals, so are trying to break into more lucrative animals, but they wasted all of their money on alpacas, so they're relying on others to provide the necessary equipment for their new endeavors.

I guess we'll get to see if 1000 bee stings will improve the way those troons look or not.

Half the shit on the wishlist is just shit they should already have on the tranch. These are just basic tools they should have bought at Home Depot before they even started. How can your business be doing well if you have to ask people to donate you a ratchet set?

They won't. Honey pays well, but it's a bitch since bees are quite vulnerable to a variety of bacteria, parasites, and viruses. The most severe threat right now is the mysterious colony collapse disorder that's been wiping out whole colonies in Europe and the USA. There's also colony theft. which is fairly prevalent here in Europe. It's a lot of work, and feeding them is a lot more complicated than "toss a bale of hay in front of them IDK".
Source: there's a guy in my extended family who used to keep bees for a decade or so. There's also a small problem with how barren Tran Ranch is. No flowery plants -> no floral nectar -> no honey.

Keeping bees in a cold-weather desert climate is tricky. They can't even provide their alpaca decent shelter, how are they going to winter hives properly?
There's probably plenty of creosote bush and rabbitbrush, which bees can make honey from, but it won't make very tasty honey if that's their prime source of nectar. And if the honey doesn't taste good then you can't sell it.
If they were smart (HAHAHA) they'd be planting alfalfa and clover to improve their soil, provide forage for the alpaca, and better flowers for the bees. But they're not smart.

I sometimes save Kiwi comments that make me laugh, and I've never had such a literal use for something that was definitely intended as a metaphor.
(forgive me, at some point I'd cropped it and apparently don't know who gave this oddly usable quote).

That sounds like a lot of work for the one or two people on the tranch who actually work.
