Federal Land Sales for Affordable Housing?
I like the idea of building 'up' for affordable housing instead of carve-outs for public land.- JAG

Federal Land Sales for Affordable Housing?
This got me thinking, why don't they have a homestead exemption? That way, lower-income earners shoulder less tax burden for their property while shouldering the labor burden that billionaires don't carry. They have it, but Wyoming uses this term differently from my state. As it turns out...- JAG

True, it is certainly a mix of Socialism and Capitalism.- JAG

Federal Land Sales for Affordable Housing?
It's not 'lazy' to "let the market sort itself out", that's how a free market is designed. People who believe this mischaracterization are quick to panic. Politicians and those who fund them feed off this uninformed panic to raise taxes, pass bills for handouts, and intensify polarization so...- JAG

Ultralight Block and Tackle (a neat product and a DIY Hack)
This post reminds me of another test I did and forgot about. Ensure you use a climbing carabiner. Mine looked similar to the one pictured. They came with these velcro strap holders from HomeDepot, labeled "not for climbing", but I still thought it would suffice. Anyway, mine busted under weight...- JAG

Ultralight Block and Tackle (a neat product and a DIY Hack)
In the field, yes. On game, no. I used our 4:1 pulley for our camp's food bag. It was easily 150# (maybe 215#) after combining food and unused camp gear in two (2) very full llama panniers. Yes, heavy. After budgeting Llama costs, I went cheap on food (i.e., shelf-stable, block cheese, summer...- JAG

First Elk finally
Great job on the elk, so glad it paid off for you! On the gulf coast we like to say, "everybody wants to go deep sea fishing until its time to go deep sea fishing." -

Hot Tent Drying Tricks
Just before my trip, I met a guy who uses a candle for winter camping to add a little warmth. I did a deep dive and learned all about 'wet heat' versus 'dry heat'. If you have a hot stove in your tent for warmth and/or condensation control, do not kill its benefits by using a candle, Buddy...- JAG

Hot Tent Drying Tricks
Use the stove to boil water and pour it into water bottles. Place the hot bottles in wet boots, sleeping bags, gloves, etc., to accelerate drying. I tried wearing wet clothes in my sleeping bag this year and was pleased to see that it does work. The hot bottle speeds up this process. For...- JAG

Weight Loss Drugs
After my health insurance discounts ceased, we tried a local compounder, then found an online pharmacy through OrderlyMeds. OrderlyMeds has a discount for a three-month starter pack ($166/mo), but it returns to being expensive again at $499/mo. Today, our latest supply is from "Greenwich Rx"...- JAG

Hunting Gear Thats Punches Above its Pricepoint
I didn't see the discount except for the renewed ones. I have both Kahtoola and a trial from Amazon/Temu. The off-brands worked just okay; the clips holding the metal to the rubber blew out during our second trip. The name-brand spikes my kids wear in the same terrain as I are still running...- JAG

Corner crossing SCOTUS appeal
If your footprints compress the frozen H20 and never touch the ground, then you only entered the airspace above private land. No stepladder, helicopter, marker, or paramotor necessary.- JAG
