    Petition Against Proposed Signal Peak Trail In Gunnison

    Obviously, historically, animals do not come back. They tend to be replaced by groups of other species (often invasive) which are better-adapted to human co-habitation. So, the biodiversity in one environment, when pressured by humans, is replaced by a different kind of biodiversity. Basically...

    All around day pack

    Used an X-ray for years and loved it. Picked up a hyperlite mountain gear summit pack and have never looked back. Weighs less than a pound, waterproof, holds everything I need and can conch down small. Perfect as an edc.

    Nomad is in the Rhino Den

    What I've never been able to figure out is why anyone would choose a nomad over any of the single-duffle style packs (amr, timberline, tahr, etc.). I like the design on aesthetic grounds, but pragmatically the number of times it might make sense to use a nomad and camp bag combo vs simply...

    Cast Iron pans and skillets

    For the most part, I just wipe my cast iron pans down with a cloth or paper towel--no water, no soap. If really dirty, water and a brush.

    New Puppy Training Tips

    Depends on the type of training. I would avoid wee-wee pad training like the plague. Once they're trained to use those, they'll need to be retrained to go outside. We kept our GSD in a crate--taking advantage of the den instinct which keeps them from soiling their own sleeping area--and then...

    How much Vacation time do you get?

    4 months, plus Thanksgiving and a week off in the spring; and I only show up for work 2 days a week, for 3 hours each day. The perk of being a university professor. Drawback: I work at a research institution in which ~88% of faculty lose their jobs, which means you end up spending all that time...

    Any love for the duplex timberline 1???

    I've had one for four or five years--can't remember when it came out, but it's g1 and I got it when they were first released. I've bought and sold over a dozen packs since then--maybe two dozen--and have never found any reason to sell the dt1. That said, I also have a tahr, and I prefer its...

    End of the X-Ray?

    Perhaps I'm jumping the gun or misreading kifaru's website, but I noticed that the X-rays are available in fewer colors. No black, for instance, whereas the UZ is available in a wider variety of colors. Perhaps it means nothing--some of the newest designs are available in limited colors--but...

    Today's NY Times article about sheep hunting

    Not surprised to see a positive article on hunting in the NYTimes. I live in NYC and almost everyone I meet, even the vegans--maybe even especially the vegans--think it's cool that I hunt. But, it's true they have no idea how hard it can be; they all think it's some version of duck hunt, point...

    Trump goes all KGB on EPA

    And because there's never enough coal debris in our rivers and streams..funny part about this article is that it's Forbes--pro-big-business and still cannot conclude that eliminating will have any meaningful impact on mining jobs: Forbes Welcome
