What are /r/Humboldt's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Try AirBNB and contact a pet-friendly place to see if they'll cut a deal for a 13 week stay.

There also is the Arcata Stay network of houses/rooms. Several venues are listed as pet friendly. Arcata is a 15 to 25 minute drive, depending on how deep into Eureka you're going, probably closer to 15.

From my experience, being fast is what is most important. And having a phone number with a 707 area code, if you don't already. Any CL post that isn't a shitty, PPM-managed property gets snatched up quickly, so calling/emailing within a few hours of a post going up helps a lot.

So unfortunately I can't help point you to any properties that aren't on CL, but you can use https://ifttt.com/ to setup notifications based on a CL search. So anytime a new listing is made that fits your search, you get an email, text, etc.

Setup an https://ifttt.com/ for craigslist searches that fit what you're looking for. And check Craigslist yourself constantly. It's pretty much just about luck and persistence. You don't really have enough time to be picky, which is unfortunate, because property managed rentals in Humboldt are awful. You want a private landlord as much as possible. But that takes time.

If you're in a small-ish 1 bedroom apartment, I found that the passive dehumidifiers work just fine. Maybe get a couple and keep one in a general area and one in the closet to protect your clothes and shoes. I think you can get them at any hardware store or order a reusable one off of amazon.

My roommate and I had this little guy in our bathroom to keep the moisture down and it worked great! https://www.amazon.com/Improved-Eva-dry-E-333-Renewable-Dehumidifier/dp/B000H0XFCS/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1487965909&sr=8-3-fkmr0&keywords=passive+dehumidifier

I don't know if you've seen this or similar. There are plenty of trails to keep you occupied for a while before resorting to off-trail. list of trails

I used this dehumidifier (Eva-dry Edv-2200 Dehumidifier, Mid-Size https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001QTW6KQ/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_RzUTub15GCPXM) when I was living in Humboldt. I left it on all day and it didn't make a noticeable difference on my bill. Worked pretty well for a small place.

This isn't the most helpful thing in the world, but it's better than nothing.

Use https://ifttt.com/ to setup a notification of new craigslist posts based on a specific search.

So, for example, you'd use this URL:

http://humboldt.craigslist.org/search/roo?sale_date=-&maxAsk=350&pets_cat=purrr

To get a notification every time there is a new post in the "rooms and shares" section that allows cats, and has a cost of $350 or less. When you get that specific, it's pretty rare that something pops up, but at least you can setup notifications for your ideal situation while you look at other sources.

most of them are 10mi or above. Boulder Lakes says 4mi on Alltrails.com so maybe that one is worth a google. Alltrials.com is a good source for hikes if you havent checked it out before. https://www.alltrails.com/parks/us/california/trinity-alps-wilderness

OP bought the jumbo penny on Amazon. The novelty penny has a diameter of 3 inches.

The banana slug is about 2.5 inches long. I superimposed the banana slug over the penny without resizing, and added a one-pixel border to provide contrast.

OP lied about his fake 0.5 inch banana slug for karma farming.

Good thing I bought a comfortable mask (Honeywell Safety Dark Gray Dual Layer Face Cover with 8 Replaceable Inserts, Size M/L (RWS-50111) https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B08KWQSTZJ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_5CZ2V60ADD8KNPFJP1D2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 ) and I’ll continue to wear it as necessary.

Honestly, check out Craigslist to see who's hiring. Humboldt County posts the majority of their jobs there.

Having a physical resume, a resume on LinkedIn, and dressing up (business casual at least) to apply/see if a place is hiring plus dressing nice for an interview will put you ahead of the game too.

I highly doubt your gonna get fake condoms from the official trojan page on amazon.

Suddenlink is 50Mbps minimum service. If it's slow, she needs a better router, or the router needs to be located in a better area to improve your signal.

What are you speed test results? The other major option is DSL, which is slower.

This is all true, but to add to this:

You will get MUCH, MUCH better performance if you buy your own cable modem, and connect it to a decent router with wifi, or to a router and then wireless access point.

The equipment that suddenlink loans out are typically all-in-one Arris modem/router/wireless-AP combinations that do none of those 3 things well, and get passed around and refurbished so many times that they are super prone to errors.

I FUCKING HATE SUDDENLINK, but I'd say 9/10 when people complain about their suddenlink internet connection issues, Suddenlink's actual connection is fine, the issue lies in the hardware in your home. Suddenlink alleges to "test" this hardware when you call them, but honestly, they can and do lie about everything so take it with a grain of salt.

Plus, you don't have to pay them $10/month if you buy your own setup.

Get a Netgear cable modem with Docsys 3.0 and you should be rocking and rolling. Something like this should suffice nicely.

Then get yourself a decent router and you should really clean up a lot of your internet issues.

Yeah, that's more like McKinleyville/Arcata to Fortuna (respectively).

On that note, Fortuna is another option for you. It's more/less just as "out of the way" as McKinleyville is (when comparing both places to Eureka). Fortuna is more conservative/less-diverse than places like Eureka or Arcata, if that matters to you.

Most of the time, if you're on a budget and with animals...you're likely going to have to cast your net as wide as you can. But COVID-19 has definitely thrown a curveball, so nobody knows how much the rental market will open up. If anything, this will likely be advantageous for you.

For what it's worth? I'd say that Cutten is probably going to be your most desirable destination. Myrtletown would be ranked just after that, in my opinion.

I just purchased this mount, saw it recommended here on Reddit. I haven't installed it yet but reviews are good.

Or

On amazon they sell a dozen for 100 bucks, it’s still not very cheap though,
