    To all my homies on the westside

    Stay dry(ish). Purple are gauges that have exceeded the "Major Flood" level. Black is record setting flows. I just commented last week that the Skagit has the oldest FEMA flood mapping in the Puget Sound area, and a really low 100-yr flood elevation. I bet that changes soon!

    Stress relief suggestions

    So my office is currently embattled in a local development dispute. We represent a water district looking to protect drinking water quality. I'm the one that gets to present at all the public meetings. I just did my first tonight. It was very stressful. I'm all kinds of wound up. I'm already one...

    Wildlife Trafficking - catch all thread

    https://wdfw.wa.gov/newsroom/news-release/skagit-county-woman-sentenced-wildlife-trafficking Multi-year effort (the second time!) that only resulted in $1,800 in fines. Which likely didn't even pay for lab testing of the evidence.

    Washington the Anti-Utah

    https://wdfw.wa.gov/about/wdfw-lands/land-acquisitions WDFW once again is proposing to greatly expand the public estate in WA. There are some absolutely great additions here. I encourage those that care to take 30 secs and send an email of support. [email protected]

    How to trap a skunk?

    My dog got smoked by a skunk in the driveway the other day at o-dark-thirty. Side note, probably the biggest dick move I've ever made, I walked back into the house, woke my wife up, and said, "Don't let the dog in, he got skunked. Allie and I are leaving. Bye." My daughter and I then went...

    Tikka T3 lite barrel threading?

    Ok, this is a carryover from another thread I started last year, where I was trying to spend an unusually large bonus and wanted to upgrade my rifle. https://www.hunttalk.com/threads/help-me-spend-my-bonus.327215/ Being debby downer, I used it for a family vacation and bought some investment...

    Pan head lubricant

    I have a Vortex Summit SS that I bought from someone on here a number of years ago. The actual tripod is fine for my needs but the standard head is bad and getting worse. I took it apart tonight and found a bunch of metal shavings in all the moving parts. It looks like the OG lubricant was...

    MR Metcalf compression strap failure

    Any ideas how to fix this? One of buckles on the frame pulled out on my first elk hunt of the year. In the moment I used a bit of paracord, but I would like to find a way to attach the buckle again. I sent a request to MR but I doubt I'll have enough time to ship it to them and get it back...

    Reduced Public Access in the Name of Safety

    I brought this up in another thread, but I think it warrants its own thread. Here in Eastern WA we're seeing increased regulations restricting public use and recreation on public lands due to the wildfire risk. While I think everyone is in agreement that wildfire suck and that we shouldn't go...

    WTB Whitewater raft

    If anyone hears or sees a deal on a used self-bailer, 12.5-15' I'd appreciate a heads up. I'm finally forced to give up on the canoe idea. There just aren't enough rivers around here that you can swing with a canoe, and none of my family care for the simplicity of the canoe. Plus all my friends...

    Camping trip incident

    After thinking about this for a while, I thought I would run a situation I found myself in by the HT crowd and get your thoughts. Boat-in camping over Memorial Day weekend. Have 4 of 6 sites taken with our group, two fams, 4 adults, 4 kids (7-14). Another group shows up at 4 pm and takes a...

    A call to arms in support of one of the few native game birds

    https://chadlove.substack.com/p/the-prairie-canary-in-the-coal-mine You can have both wildness and people inhabiting the same space, but you can’t do it without a baseline of protection for that which is defenseless against those powerful forces who attempt to conflate unrestrained greed and...

    Help me spend my bonus

    Bonuses came out and they're.... um, good. I'll throw most if it at investments and savings for future real estate, but there is room for a frivolous new purchase. Options: Truck Cap: I debate this every year, it would be great most of the time, but I'll still need to take it off for firewood...
