    Portland Oregon

    I've rewritten this post about 4 times now. Guess I'll keep it short. Lived here in the Portland area (Tigard) since 2005. Watched the city go to hell and it's very sad knowing what it used to be like and what it is now. It 100% boils down to the liberal leadership of the city, county, and...

    Quitting Alcohol

    Sugar can be just as addicting as alcohol. When our bodies are used to it, it's an endorphin. Remember this, no good endorphins are free!! Endorphins from running, working out, cold showers, physical activity, etc. are earned...the good kind. Couple suggestions: 1. Get a calorie counting app...

    Quitting Alcohol

    Glad to see this thread back on top. Still dry since the new year and planning on staying this way. I was able to get through a seafood and wine festival, Memorial Day weekend, bear hunting, good friend's birthday party, and many other "drinking events". For me, the social pressure (pressure...

    Idaho Spring Bear

    Hunted unit 14 this last week. Spot on in terms of tough hunting this late. Elk calves everywhere so I'm sure they've keyed into them by now. Also, this was our first time hunting Idaho and lots of roads that we thought were accessible had gates on them. Had to walk 3-4 miles to get to the...

    Idaho Spring Bear

    A lot has changed weatherwise since late April. We head out next weekend and have no idea how high in elevation we will be able to get. I'm thinking around 5500-6500. Snowtel sites around 6200 are saying 6-8in currently.

    Recession Coming?

    I have some good friends in the construction industry (both commercial and residential). They have slowed down but not to a halt. They said it's because the market is normalizing rather than they sky-high prices of their construction materials and contractor rates the past 2 years. The next...

    Recession Coming?

    The country overall probably has, but it's been strong overall here locally until more recently.

    Recession Coming?

    I work in a leading indicator industry (staffing) that is usually first to see a recession coming. Seems like many companies here in the Portland, OR market is slowing down on hiring and making cuts to staff. The IT sector seems to have been hit the hardest. Are others around the country...

    MeatEater Shooting for $100M in Revenues

    Well that's pretty cool to read! I'm curious, what other social media influences/influencers did you tap into when first starting off? As you become more capable, do you still see those social media mentors in the same light? Do you think social media makes the barrier into hunting too easy?

    Dirt bike general question

    Best advice I could give is ride, ride, ride, and ride some more. Eventually you'll get pretty comfortable and then will figure out if it's the right bike for you long term or not. Do you have a couple buddies that you can ride with? I do go riding by myself, but I don't like it much. I...
