7 guys times 7 days is a lot of holes and it sucks seeing toilet paper everywhere in an otherwise nice camp spot. I found a system with a toilet seat that sits on a five gallon bucket + bags and chemicals. Basically a groover but like 90% less expensive. Something like this.
Can be nice to...
I recommend a good PT. I'm going to generalize a bit, but seems like most guys have screwed up hips and shoulders which leads to low back problems. When you're young you can skate, but once you hit middle age the bills start coming due. At some point if you want to stay active you need to start...
Yes. Prions aren't actually alive, they are just proteins. Freezing is generally how you preserve them. It's heat that wrecks them, not cold (I do not know how hot you need to get a CWD prion to deactivate it).
Great boats and hard to find (depending on where you are). If you want one a year from now you might not be able to get it. Conversely, unlikely to lose much value. Grab it and a copy of Path of the Paddle and see what happens.
Better visibility, easier to carry cargo & dogs, drier, easier to hop in and out of, more artistry to the actual paddling, and easier to bring a kid or partner along. Flatwater paddling is like watching paint dry to me, but I don't fish. Floating rivers is great.
ETA: I see a lot of people...
Aluminum is noisy and cold but durable. Fiberglass/Kevlar is light and strong, but you'll feel bad banging it into rocks and paddling onto beaches. Much easier to move around by yourself though. Royalex used to be the standard but is no longer made. High-end plastic alternative is my favorite...
Invest, or gamble? If you'd put it all into Nvidia or Bitcoin a few years ago you'd be the clear winner.
Less risky: VTSAX (total stock market) for 5 years. After that, start looking at what a 30%-50% decline would do and if you'd still be able to hit your target, shift enough into fixed...
Trail running is one of the best things you can do to condition for mountain sports (including elk hunting), IMO. Road running is not as good and not as fun, but still pretty good for you. If you're middle-aged and/or overweight take it reeeal easy at the start though, not hard to run straight...
Everything I know about is downtown, the only other place I've been is the Trader Joes.
Pick up some lime scooters and ride up and down the riverfront trail on both sides of downtown. It's great. Big municipal water park and playground right there on the N side of the river as well. (I would...
I don't know, but everything about it looks like you are correct. For a 1:24000 map with 40 foot contour, which I assume is a standard USGS quad, the hash marks show the contour spacing for various slope angles. That range (25-45 degrees) is critical for avalanche hazard, so people who travel in...
If you want to do conservation/environmental work, there are a few options.
At the federal level, veterans preference actually helps a lot to get hired into a permanent job. The trick with the feds is that your career advancement depends almost entirely on how much you are willing to move, so...
