    Wrestling a Grizz to the death

    Kifaru makes one of these, right?

    Mazda CX-7/CX-9

    We had a cx-9 for 8 or so years. Zero maintenance or reliability issues. Literally zero; we did nothing to it other than oil changes. I thought the performance in snow was great; I was pleasantly surprised. Much better than my old ford escape, and there are times I’d rather drive it than my...

    Rucking weight?

    But do you squat 400 lbs? (I say that tongue-in-cheek, based largely upon my assumption that only a small percentage of "active outdoors" people actually squat that, but if I'm wrong and you do in fact squat 400 lbs let me know!)

    Best, reasonable priced rain gear

    Outdoor research Helium is worth a look, as well. I don't see any particularly good sales at the moment, but I got mine under $100.

    Empty Nester Blues

    I always think, particularly when I could find an excuse to stay late but I don’t really have to, “How much would these wealthy old dudes pay to go back in time and spend an evening with their five-year-old son?” Thousands; but they can’t; I can; so I’m headed home! (That comes across weird…I...

    Marathon Training w/ Mountain Training

    ^If you do a 3 mile recovery run, there should be plenty of time to do a quick weight session. That’s what, less than 1/2 hour? IMO—try it, do a 3 mile warmup run, then 3 x 5 of squats, weighted lunges, and weighted lunges, twice a week. Use kettlebells if you have to, it’ll take like 20...

    Marathon Training w/ Mountain Training

    I'm not doing this now, but have in the past. (Now I focuse more on the mountain training but still try to run consistently.) I was surprised at the degree to which mountain ultra fitness was not ideal for hunting fitness. Back in 2016, I trained and ran decently well at a 60k with 10K+ of...

    Best lightweight hooded fishing shirt for sun protection

    I have the ketl mountain nofry and it is nice. Similar fabric to the Sitka lw hoodie but a tad lighter. Bigger hood, also. Price is right. https://ketlmtn.com/products/nofry-sunhoodie?variant=32668964814914

    When you have lost an animal, what do you believe was the cause?

    Would you mind PMing me also? Super interested in this for reasons I can explain. (Part of hunting group that uses “middle school” setups.)

    Staying healthy as a parent with little kids

    Yup, there’s no avoiding it. Eat as well as you can, workout regularly, be patient when you’re sick (think: with this workout am I myself up or breaking myself down?)…you have a *long* time horizon…like infinite…, get some sleep. And think: literally billions of people have dealt with this for...

    Youth 50 Miler Hike Help

    I agree with this. Memorable for sure, classic knife.

    Youth 50 Miler Hike Help

    A firm here in town did a “branded” batch of opinel no…I dunno which no…but they turned out well and were unique. I’d try that perhaps.

    Baby Mosquito Repellent

    Agree. Baby hooded sunshirt and pants.

    Supreme Court Ruling on Waters of the US

    The only difference between the majority and the concurrence is this: the majority said that “adjacent” requires a continuous surface connection, and the concurrence said that “adjacent” could mean nearby but without a continuous surface connection. The term “adjacent” is used in the Act...

    4 wheel in and then hike in?

    We do this in otc areas. Sometimes, to get away, it’s a long car ride, long four wheeler ride, then a hike. Never had an issue leaving the fourwheelers for days; just take the key, park where you’re not blocking the trail, check and confirm it’s open to motorized use.

    Supreme Court Ruling on Waters of the US

    This is not accurate. The only dispute between the 5 and the 4 was the meaning of “adjacent”: does “adjacent” require a continuous surface connection (majority) or can it just be nearby (minority). All 9 justices agreed that EPA and Army Corp had attempted, by rule and by practice, to expand...

    50k Preparation…how do you know?

    ^ One of my favorite memories: grabbing a double fist full of Swedish fish and marching up through the Pioneers here in Idaho. Brought me back from the grave. Slurping coke from a paper bowl like a dog from one of the backcountry aid stations that had forgotten cups, same thing. I did one 8...
