    Pack cover or no?

    I have a quality pack cover, purchased 40+ years ago from BARNEY'S, it is reversable, with one side camo, the other "ultra" bright reddish orange. When I am undecided about taking it, the bright red/orange feature tips the scale. It makes a great S.O.S message.

    Grizzly Porn

    "VernAK" You and I are near the same age. You likely remember back in the 50's when all the "Outdoor" magazines would have on the cover, in extra-large print, "KEG HEAD BROWNIES". Which always triggered me to pay the fifteen cents for that month's issue. I actually think they were referring to...

    Western Arctic Caribou herd has dropped in 2022

    It means the herd has been for years dropping at a double-digit rate. Action has been progressively taken, and it is reasonable to expect continued tightening to take place. It is likely to anticipate that some users will be constrained or cut out of harvesting.

    My suggestion is if you go where there are bears and you take along a domestic dog or two dogs, "DON'T" bother carrying bear spray.
