Up here in Maine, we are in the beginnings of a mild to moderate drought, no it's nowhere near as bad as the drought in California, but large patches of lawn are dying off, our hay field is also a tad dry, plus we just had it hayed a couple weeks ago, the grasses are short and browning
since I'm planning to launch a few rockets on the 4th, I'm wondering if there are any safety recommendations for launching in very dry conditions?
im planning on taking a 5 gallon bucket of water to the launch site and drench the area around the pad before launching, perhaps putting a tarp down would be better? I have one of those space blanket lined tarps in the trunk of the car, that might work better
any hints for not causing a hayfield fire?
to clarify, the field isn't totally dead, there's good sized areas of living grass, it's just drier than normal
that was one of the advantages of my winter launches, snow and ice don't burn, and frozen ground is hard to ignite...
