    Does anyone feel like outdoor recreation declining back to post-COVID level?

    I spend almost every day in the summer out on the local national forest. Last summer was definitely less crowded than the summer before that. I'm all for helping the local economy, but the increased usage has had a visible impact on the forest. Dispersed campsites are trashed. I'm glad to see...

    Should trail cams be legal?

    I work in the woods and wonder how many guys with cameras have caught pics of me pooping. I'm not a big fan.

    Evaluate the ROI on Education

    Like others have said, the choice of major is key. If someone has the mindset of maximizing earnings potential, the right choice of major combined with hard work can get them very far. Accounting is a good example. But what seems to be happening here is that people are comparing the top end...

    Evaluate the ROI on Education

    I won't discourage my kiddos from college, but I will make sure they know that affordability needs to be priority number one. A college degree can open doors that will be shut to you without one. There's no arguing with that. If my kids want to pursue a trade, that's great too. But college has...

    Parts of the forest need thinning, for sure. But I can say from experience that a lot of stands that look pretty dense from a distance are a lot thinner when you get into them. You can definitely get more timber out, but there won't be much left for the next generation. We want to be able to go...

    Randy Moore Retires

    That's fine with me. I don't always agree with how much cutting happens (the recent history of the Black Hills, for example), but even some over-harvesting here and there isn't the end of the world. The thing I like is that he doesn't seem like the kind of guy you'd appoint if you simply wanted...

    The new chief is an outsider and former timber industry exec. I’m gonna withhold judgment. I’m not against the timber industry by any means.

    Relax, Everything is Going to be Okay!

    I get what you're saying, and I don't like seeing fellow federal employees begging for sympathy. But at the same time, I don't get the idea that "because this bad thing happened to me, it should happen to other people too." Not saying that's what you're getting at, but I'm seeing that in other...

    Yep, we were told that even those who took the buyout were terminated effective immediately.

    Losses at the Forest Service

    If we were losing the least productive 10 percent, that would be one thing. Instead we're just losing everyone who has been at their job for under a year, regardless of their performance. A lot of those people are young, energetic field-going personnel, not wasteful overhead. My forest lost a...

    This is the K.I.S.S. Max model. Low profile compared to other AGC bino packs. Has the Max pocket - the pocket on the bottom that is really useful. Sized for most 8x42/10x42 binoculars. This has been well used but is entirely functional. $50 shipped to you
