    Mechanical and Civil Engineering

    Selling feet pics on the internet is also lucrative, but doesn't mean you'll earn anyone's respect. Kinda like how everyone I know who has stayed technical (yes, even in technical leadership roles) rolls their eyes at managers who can't comprehend anything that they're doing. You can stay...

    Colorado Left Over Tags

    Was in the system at 8AM (no line/queue) and then refreshed at 9AM. Saw the new buttons to buy the tag. Clicked, entered the code and it was already gone.

    Mechanical and Civil Engineering

    Yea but if you do EE you'll have to do lots of stupid math involving Maxwell's equations.

    Mechanical engineers build weapons. Civil engineers build targets.

    Pending Toyota Recall

    My 2020 Tacoma did this today. It went away after I restarted it, so that's fun.

    Why you should not take equity out or dump your 401 K to take super expensive hunts.

    I'm really hoping my OnlyFans takes off then.

    Pending Toyota Recall

    I'm seeing a trend where things are getting more complex and people maintaining those things are becoming less and less competent. Honda and Toyota made their name in the 80s, 90s, and 00s and have since rested on their laurels. My first car after college was my wife's 1992 Honda Accord and...

    Kids braces!

    From the 6th grade to the end of junior year of high school I had some form of orthodontic treatment. Teeth were nice and straight for about two and half years and then I broke my jaw sophomore year of college. Parents spent all that money and I still ended up with a jacked up grill. Edited...

    Do You Sleep With Your Food in Bear Country?

    After scouting this weekend, I don't think bears are going to be a problem for my September mule deer hunt. Marmots on the other hand...

    Your gear upgrades/changes/additions for 2024

    Down puffy. Picked up both the SG Grumman and the KUIU Super Down Pro. The KUIU ended up staying after trying both on. I could see the appeal of the Grumman, but the Super Down Pro fit a little better and seemed to have more loft. This should save several ounces in my pack while giving me more...

    Your gear upgrades/changes/additions for 2024

    Please let me know how that works out. I have been tempted to do this myself, the weight savings is gigantic.

    All wisdom for a first hunt

    The only way to gain experience is to do it. Go in with an open mind, realize that you're out there learning, and don't have any expectations of yourself or the hunt.

    What do you do for a living? How can you help?

    I did video streaming code at one point. The MPEG-TS standard made my eyes bleed.

    What do you do for a living? How can you help?

    I have a particular set of skills... I once used a $25 RTL-SDR off of Amazon to pull down all the smart meters in my neighborhood and was able to tell when my neighbor flushed his toilet. I am one Home Depot trip away from pulling down weather satellites.

    Do You Sleep With Your Food in Bear Country?

    I always have the best bear repellent with me... a bear tag.

    Help Working On Load

    If I shot like that consistently, I'd stop burning any more powder and call it good.

    Everyone’s 2024 season plans

    In terms of traditional archery: practice and shoulder recovery. God willing, 2025 is going to be my first traditional archery hunt. I do have a few muzzleloader/rifle tags here in CO for 2024, but once I started shooting recurve, nothing really compares to the satisfaction of a well placed arrow.

    I Found the Average Rokslide Elk Hunter

    How does your job prepare you for the mountain?

    There's lots of boredom, but every once in a while I have to take a large problem, break it down to smaller pieces, and figure it out... which feels alot like harvesting a mature buck at times. Nothing ever goes to plan and it's up to you to string together the pieces to figure it all out.

    Gut Preparation - Freeze Dried Food

    How often are you eating in the backcountry vs. in everyday life? Reason I ask is that having the worst shits right after a big meal (some Peak refuels are over 2k calories per bag) if you haven't eaten anything for a while could be a sign of various GI issues. That specific symptom (and some...
