    Wildfire management LTTE

    People keep writing that, but then don't explain what the point actually is. Here's my take: You (and many, if not most, people) don't like smoke from forest fires (mostly because it's annoying and potentially dangerous, especially to people with existing respiratory health issues) and you...

    You're going to sue the forest for burning?

    Wildfire management LTTE

    In my mind it's not so much a money issue as a policy issue. We need more prescribed burning, but 'the public' doesn't want any smoke or any chance of an escape, so it's not done nearly as much as it needs to be.

    Best meat analog for pack training?

    I have been hiking near my house with a weighted pack in preparation for fire season (volunteer wildland firefighter) and backpack archery elk hunting. I think the best weight to stuff my pack with is a weighted blanket (or two). I've tried dumbbells rolled up in a towel or blanket - works...

    Otero has been very meh, but at least not anti-hunting. I don't think I have ever heard of Le Coq. I may have met Maquire, but don't remember anything distinct about him.

    Request For Help With Recently Closed Road Blocking Access to Public Land in CO

    I volunteer with CO Chapter of BHA and a fellow volunteer brought up an issue in San Miguel county. A new land owner has closed two roads, at least one of which is the only access to some public land. What steps should he take? Who should he contact? What documentation is required to prove...
