Starlink Mini
I got one of these - was $220 on sale when I got it, usually a little more now. Anker SOLIX C300 It worked perfectly with the Mini. Even under light cloud cover it was charging well. We were only powering the Starlink and a couple phones or an iPad at once so if you have a bunch more stuff...- cedahm

Ptarmigans in Colorado
Especially this time of year - males will generally be 'nearly' solitary (often there'll be a handful of them nearby as @Birdbander points out). Based on a quick scout the other week, Females and young of the year should be starting to push uphill shortly. I'd note that those elevation bands...- cedahm

Does anybody really regulate outfitters on USFS lands?
As somewhat predicted - this was the response from the Special Permits coordinator : "XXXX, This request for assigned sites of our outfitter and guides is massively time consuming and borders on privileged information potentially requiring a FOIA. I would encourage reaching out to the...- cedahm

Does anybody really regulate outfitters on USFS lands?
I have to say I'm slightly shocked - got a response within 2 hours with a pdf of the outfitter allotment area boundaries - which is only mildly helpful (in our particular area of interest, one outfitter has most of the unit) but was fast. I followed up with a question on whether the outfitters...- cedahm

Does anybody really regulate outfitters on USFS lands?
This thread being resurrected reminded me to do this for a district in NW colorado. Just sent an email to their special permits admin (and I specifically requested GIS data) and will report back. My guess is I'll get the same response (a list of names and numbers) and will move to an FOIA at...- cedahm

Snowboarding
I am primarily (like 95% of the time) a two-planker but I raised two knuckle-draggers so I still occasionally strap the board on. Basically only on powder days (assuming I planed ahead and brought the board kit), as that's where I see additional value/fun out of the big board. The older I get...- cedahm

Be Careful Out There!
There are 3-4 of them in the water bottle pocket of my pack at any given time since I have had the poles slip off rocks, ice, deadfall, frozen dirt, etc so often I almost always never use them. but I might take the 3 seconds to put them on on gentle dirt trails more often after seeing that...- cedahm

Camp….above or below elk?
I still gripe at my nephew for the multiple years his archery camp was 500-1000’ above the elk. -
Packable Spinning Rod/Fly Fishing tips
If the fish are going to be at that depth in running water (e.g. not just the depth of the water, but the part of the water column they are using is 10-20'), then you'll need a very fast sinking tip. If they are really using that level of the column, it gets pretty challenging even with the...- cedahm

Lake Erie Walleye Charters?
Hey all, A childhood friend of mine who is still in MN is going through some rough times after a divorce. He and I have been texting a lot recently. His family had a cabin on Mille Lacs for generations, so you can imagine he's done a lot of walleye fishing over the years. Out of the blue...- cedahm

Any hockey fans out there?
Agree. He wasn't going anywhere else. And honestly, I don't personally think he's a top-50 player in the league now, if he ever was. And man, is Washington making some deals. Kyrou and Tuch give Ovi another chance at a cup (assuming he comes back) and collectively replace his production when...- cedahm

Group 1 passengers
Same. Hate the game, not the player :) But if it was literally no time difference, it would be an option. Airlines have gotten way better over the years at not losing bags so minus rare statistical anomalies, it’s mostly a time thing (and also a cost issue for pax that don’t have any status)...- cedahm

Group 1 passengers
Oddly, I was just watching clips about this last week after witnessing a 65 minute boarding cycle. The most efficient mathematically is the ‘Steffen method’, a combination of windows first plus ‘skipping’ rows so that every passenger inside the aircraft is always able to be putting their bags...- cedahm

"Non-Corporate" YouTube hunting channels
We’ve talked about doing that at our elk camps - sponsored by steamboat conoco donuts, jones’ Cribbage boards (I totally made that up - I have no idea who made my cribbage boards), and advil. Watch out for a content drop in October. It will be filmed on a handheld iPhone 15 that is constantly...- cedahm
