    Voter turnout

    My helicopter paramedic nephew texted me this morning "How do you feel waking up more free than when you went to bed." I replied "Unburdened by what has been." ;-)

    Democrat fake ballots, right?

    Voter turnout

    They will be counting the total for days to come. But definitely could be that many Democrat voters stayed home. That's what I saw in my democrat town. Probably 10% of what I saw on 2016 and 2020. Literally 10% at my voting location.

    Voter turnout

    On my island it's probably 80% Democrat. When I got to the polls, they were empty. One guy in front of me in what normally is an hour wait voting location. I didn't even watch the results. Went to bed at 9 PM and slept like a baby. When I saw those empty voting machines in my Democrat...

    Snowshoe hare in Colorado?

    Not sure how I got quoted in the posts above. I never posted in this thread that I know of. System glitch? :)

    First Lite Gen 2 Uncompahgre versus Kuiu Guide Pro Jacket: Short Review

    First Lite Gen 2 Uncompahgre versus Kuiu Guide Pro Jacket: Short Review I've been wearing a Gen 1 Uncompahgre since 2019 and it's a bit worn out now. Been looking for a replacement and tried the new Gen 2 Uncompahgre and the Kuiu Guide Pro Jacket. PRICE: Gen 2 Uncompahgre = $220, Guide Pro =...

    YOUR favorite all purpose jacket

    I've run the heck out of a Gen 1 Uncompahgre. Gen 2 doesn't fit me properly. Waiting for a Kuiu Guide Pro in the mail.

    Best gasoline stabilizer

    Modern fuel is stabilize. Name brand ethanol-free is good for at least a year if your gear is stored inside. This is direct from Exxon Mobile. My experience. Your mileage may vary.

    Men’s Mental Health Challenge

    No. It's literally impossible without their consent. You can't exercise for someone else. They have to actually do it. I'm guessing folks on Rokslide are far more likely to do all these positive things, which is why a thread like this is an anomaly here.

    How ABSOLUTE LOW must one stoop?

    Too late now, but I always put at least two game cameras pointing at my camp. Can't stop them, but maybe can catch them. Too bad a Airtag wouldn't work on a wood stove.

    True enough. Telling them to eat right, exercise, get sun exposure, and try use techniques that help with getting good sleep often won't work. But if they do those things, the vast majority of the time it dramatically changes them, reduces or eliminates depression, and with far better results...

    I'm thankful that I completely disagree that it's tough being a man in today's world. :-)

    Man kills mountain lion with a shovel in Colorado

    Certainly felt like it. We were moving cattle back across the river and this one wouldn't move. I didn't know much about cattle and thought a big ole rock would unstubborn this beast. Pretty shocked to see him drop with eyes literally rolled up in his head. Didn't tell my dad, who eventually...

    Man kills mountain lion with a shovel in Colorado

    All depends on the impact. I killed a 1200 pound steer with a 4" rock to the forehead. I was 15 and threw it from about 10 feet away. Steer dropped to its knees, then right on down. DRT

    DIY Electrolyte Mix?

    I'm guessing about 1/8 teaspoon per liter?

    Life after stents?

    Wear a good bike helmet if hiking in rocks? Seriously, I lost my FIL to a clogged stent. He took a little fall in his dining room onto a hardwood-over-cement floor and had some limited bleeding in his brain. Stopping his blood thinner was what saved his life, but it also clogged his stent...

    Snack bars, healthy eats on a hunt?

    No bars. Pemmican, jerky, raisins, dates, figs, smoked salmon, hard cheese are all fantastic snacks. Dehydrated banana, apricot, pineapple, and mangos are also great. No sweets. I'd love to take pecans, almonds, or peanuts, but allergic. For some reason I also love Cheez Its.
