    Game Warden shortage nationwide

    I worked for Cal Fish and Game, now Fish and Wildlife, and regularly talked with the Wardens. They loved the job but the pay sucked. Though all the positions were full at that time the state needed to double the number of wardens. Like most states, the departments that deal with the environment...

    BHA seems “all-in” with Biden

    As Hoodie says this stuff is complicated. With every measure taken there will be unintended consequences. They can be beneficial or detrimental. Ecosystems are always in flux and problems never have simple solutions. What can be done are efforts that have worked in the past. At least then you...

    BHA seems “all-in” with Biden

    Didn't the state of Utah try to sue the federal gov't to try and get back all federal lands within the state? Maybe it was just something they voted on but I do remember they tried something.

    BHA seems “all-in” with Biden

    What groups actually go out in the field to enhance habitat be it for hunting or fishing? I'll put up with a political leaning if they can actually do good on the lands I use. Out East only the National Forest lands are really open. All else seems to be privately owned hence you get a lot of...

    Dogs for pack animals?

    You're going to be feeding a lot of food and picking up a lot of poo.

    Dogs for pack animals?

    Now that's cool. It can be done. The dogs not the stink. The smelly part I already knew.

    Dogs for pack animals?

    They can be very protective. Mine was great with all of my friends except one. That one she did not like and wasn't afraid to hide it. Of all my friends she had him pegged right because he could act like a jerk sometimes and he just gave her the wrong vibes. Loved everybody else though.

    Dogs for pack animals?

    Obviously I have a soft spot for Akitas but Malamutes would be good one's also. I know my Akita took to commands pretty good but I didn't really try that hard to train. Akitas will not wonder away. Very loyal and can handle cold temps very well.

    Dogs for pack animals?

    Sounds like a good start. What breeds would be at the top of the list?

    Dogs for pack animals?

    I've seen backpackers in the high country using dogs to carry light loads. Pretty well behaved dogs to. The food issue would be big factor in my opinion. The larger the dog the more food. Interesting idea though. I had an Akita and she was very well behaved. Wouldn't bark, just growled. About...

    Head-to-Head: Carbon v. Aluminum Tripods

    I've spent many zero degree first light mornings photographing Yellowstone and never had a problem with the tripod breaking. I've also been in 110 plus temps in Death Valley taking pics with no problems as well. I baby them more than I did with the aluminum tripods but I'll never go back those.

    Head-to-Head: Carbon v. Aluminum Tripods

    Great discussion. Very informative. I've used several types of carbon fiber tripods for photography. Now looking to get one for glassing.

    New vs. Used Packs

    Always check used first. There's always a chance to get a decent deal on a slightly used pack.
