    Middle Fork of the Salmon - Spring Bear Float Trip

    I’ve heard that rafting the middle fork in June is like being flushed down a very cold toilet. I’d imagine late may is much the same.

    It band syndrem

    One diagnostic is to step as slowly as possible—literally, it should take like 60–120 seconds—down off the last stair. Weak hips will burn and your knee will collapse inwards. Try this on both legs and I’d bet your opposite hip is weaker… In any case, do the band exercises and hang in there...

    It band syndrem

    This may save you weeks or months of wasted effort: go see a good physical therapist. Best if it’s a sports focused one, or better yet, a pt that is also a runner. A good PT will run you through a series of tests to find your weaknesses, give you exercises to do for a few weeks, then see you...

    Are there any “cool” sun or boonie hats out there?

    Make sure to go into the pool with a hat and sunglasses. Maybe transition lens prescription glasses. (I do both of these…sometimes just have to embrace the dad!) Edit: I often do the sun hoodie thing, which seems to work.

    Pics of Custom Knives

    Fair enough! Great knife, I like the rounded belly versus the angle on the LeDuck. I broke that out to skin my bull last year, was a guided hunt, got a skeptical look from the guide at first but compliments on the knife by the end of the job.

    50k Preparation…how do you know?

    As far as length of run before eating: you will just have to figure it out with experience. A lot done people bring too much food/water, which is fine. (Similar to “packing your fears” backpacking.) I think I wore a camelback my first trail half marathon, which is embarrassing. But if it gets...

    Dress the dummy

    No need to get fancy. Salomon speed cross Smartwool or darn tough sock Any synthetic hiking pant (I have stoic brand soft shell from years ago and OR ferrosi) Any synthetic hiking or running shirt, 1 short sleeved and 1 long sleeve. Could do merino or merino blend here, I have paradox from...

    Real ID/Enhanced drivers license

    The Patriot act is the law. So…nothing says the feds can do it except the law that says the feds can do it? I think you have to make the argument that the law is bad, not that the feds don’t have the power to make the law. The feds pretty clearly have the power to set standards for what federal...

    Real ID/Enhanced drivers license

    I say this with all respect, but it’s been well established for several centuries that the states do not have the power to regulate interstate commerce. It’s actually the opposite: the feds hold the power to regulate interstate travel. Called the dormant commerce clause. Not saying the patriot...

    50k Preparation…how do you know?

    Hey there, I have a similar goal of 100 miles the year I turn 40…which is next year. I’ve run several 50ks and 60ks, and trail marathons. Jemez Mountain 50k in los alamos would be a good one for you in New Mexico. But it’s May 20, which is pretty soon. I did the Jemez 15 miler and valles...

    Has anyone messed around with CHAT GPT? See any application for hunting?

    I’m a lawyer and was quite bummed that chatgpt kept getting tough research issues wrong. Very close to right, but ultimately wrong. And the difficult thing is, I wouldn’t know it was wrong if I hadn’t already done the work. It’s impressive, though, on easy research questions. And it’ll get...

    Its that time of year 2023 fitness goals

    FYI, almost all “trail runners” actually walk the uphills above a certain steepness. So if you jog the flats and walk the uphills you’re in good company. Just call it a “power hiking” uphill and you’ll practically be an ultra runner… Also, if you’re consistent enough and give yourself long...

    Is the Sitka Ambient a must have?

    This says it is a octoyarn, which I believe is the same material used in the mountain headwear air mesh and Arctyrx proton fl. I don’t have any experience with it, but believe it is intended to be similar to Polartec alpha, though (again, I believe) that Polartec alpha is more breathable. For...

    "Sell" me on your outdoors smart watch

    I have the suunto 9 baro. I love it. Use it exclusively for running, hiking, hunting. Good tracking and navigation. Good battery life. I don’t use any smart features.
