    Anybody raise/farm their own worms for fishing?

    No, but I knew two guys who were saving up for a worm farm before they moved to Aspen. “I got worms”. That’s what they were gonna call it.

    National Forest Camping Ethics

    Yes, that’s a D bag move IMO. If you’re not camping then don’t set up your camper. This kind of stuff has gotten so out of control that I’ve gotten to the point where, if there’s no truck/ATV at the campsite/trailhead I want to access, then I hunt it. I’ve seen a lot of people park their camper...

    Sociology and numbers of hunters

    I was doing some research the other day while thinking about hunting (happens a lot), and thought about one of the possible leading causes of declining hunter numbers. In the US, 25% of children under 18 live in single parent homes (pew research). Out of that 25%, the great majority are single...

    Do you take small game hunting as seriously as big game?

    Maybe it’s just me, but I’ve always thought of small game as the “just have fun” side of hunting. Grab some water, knife, and a stringer then go tromping around the woods with a .22 and just have fun. I always plan and scout more for big game (especially in the west), and seem to take it more...

    Inquiring minds; air pollution

    I read a narrative from the mid-1700s, and in it the author describes how the weather was becoming so much warmer over the decades. He attributed this warming to deforestation, as farming uncovers the ground and allows it to absorb more heat. Note: this is pre-industrialization and...

    ^^ This. Appreciate the opportunity for what it is, and just enjoy what the place has to offer.

    Moving to the UK and hunting/"Outdoorsing" options in Europe?

    It’d probably be waaaay cheaper and easier to do a hunt in Eastern Europe or Spain. Look at Czech Republic, Slovakia etc. I think there’s a solid fly fishing community in the UK. Honestly, there’s more to life than hunting (yes I said it) and it sounds like a good career opportunity for you and...

    Gear organization ideas.

    I’m running clear bins. They’re great for layering because i can fit a smaller box inside and get it out when dealing with thermals.

    Fence post installation? Concrete vs packed gravel

    I think Zap is right. go only 2-3ft down, add shallow bed of gravel, set the post in concrete, then backfill. I don't think I'd worry about "heaving" with the frostline. Most homes I've seen in the mountains sat on a floating foundation. i.e. posts in concrete. This allowed movement, whereas a...

    Woah Brah... We're not alone...

    Steven Greer was on the Shawn Ryan podcast a few months ago and talked about this very thing as well as energy technology. Believe it or not, it was pretty interesting.

    Anyone know Lee Enfields?

    Check out this link: https://www.leeenfieldresource.com/ Yours looks like a sporterized version of the rifle. It was cut down and restocked for civilian hunting use. There are actually many of those old rifles in Canada and, yes, arctic units in the army were issued Enfields up until they were...

    Holy crap that’s where I elk hunt every fall. You’re telling me that’s all private?

    Disingenuous company reviews

    Don’t believe any product reviews you see on most company websites. Usually the manufacturer is an advertiser and the whole thing is just one big ad.
