    Sell me a bed cover

    I have a trifold. Came with the truck when I bought it. It's secure and solid, I can stand on it with no problem. It doesn't seal as tight as I'd like but it's decent. Definitely a heavy bugger to remove by myself. Biggest downside, even when folded back still 1/3 of the bed is covered.

    Hearing Aid Use

    I wear Signia Stilettos. They help in certain situations. In a noisy room with lots of background sounds having a conversation with someone is still a challenge. Through the app you can turn them up or down, have them directionally focus, and make a few other adjustments. The audiologist...

    SW New Mexico deer question

    Yes, normal for deer to be in velvet at that time. It has taken me a few years to get used to the timing but everything there is pushed back a couple of months from what I'm used to. The rut, fawn birth, etc all happen a bit later than in the northern Rockies. I see fawns in mid October still...

    Transplanting wild shrubs

    No, but I've wanted to try. I just always assumed their root system would run far deeper than I could possibly dig in the rocky ground I find them in so I never tried. And I'm too cheap to buy one at a nursery. I tried digging up a sotol last year. I swear those things have a taproot that goes...

    Forest Service Reorg - Progress or Politics

    I work as a ranger at the district level. Like everyone, I have opinions about what the changes mean and how they'll affect land management. Will it mean greater decision space at the local level? Perhaps. I haven't seen it play out that way yet but I realize things need time to work themselves...

    Woodworking Hunt Talkers?

    Last woodworking project for me for awhile. Used up some random pieces in the lumber pile. Bloodwood and maple top, bubinga bottom. Internal box for piece storage with hidden false bottom compartment for storing documents of national security

    WOW Idaho rivers Rafting Draw!

    0 for 6 for me again this year. I feel I'd have better luck buying super tag tickets. My friends that seem to go on a river trip each year are either 1) retired with a flexible schedule and surf rec.gov for cancellation permits, or 2) retired with a flexible schedule and have a broad network of...

    Anyone Use a Savage 99?

    Shot most of my whitetails growing up with a model 99E in .308. It had a "blonde" unfinished stock. Wasn't the prettiest gun but perfectly suited for a teen to drag through the Pennsylvania woods.

    College Age Antics - Post Yours

    Early morning shenanigans. Take one dorm bathroom 30 gallon garbage can. Remove garbage bag. Fill can 2/3 full of water in the shower. Roll it down the hall. Lean it against the room door of your best buddy. Knock on door loudly. Run.

    Weirdest Things Found

    Doing stream surveys in middle of nowhere NW SD a number of years ago. My colleague and I were doing pebble counts to measure the substrate. You reach down to the substrate blindly, pick up the first piece of substrate you touch, measure it, and repeat over and over. I reached down without...

    Bear Encounters

    I worked in SW AK for 8 years. I had a lot of brown bear encounters. I had my hands on quite a few through research projects. Closest I ever came to an unsedated bear was on a backpacking trip with two colleagues. We were going lightweight and shared a tent. Second morning as we're half asleep...

    What are you guys paying for gas?

    I don't think it has budged from $2.99 for 86/87 in Silver City, NM in two years.

    Rear bag for shooting rifles

    I stuffed one of those squishy travel neck pillows into a small zippered storage bag. Works great with lots of vertical range for adjustment. It's compressible enough to stuff into the side pocket of my pack.

    Broken Fibula

    Fractured my distal fibula and tibia the Monday before Thanksgiving. Spent the first week wearing a boot, using crutches, and keeping weight off the leg. I was finally able to see an orthopedic specialist last Monday.. There wasn't much they could do. He told me to walk on it if I wanted, ditch...

    Bitterroot Turkeys

    Sone were brazen enough to let me know when the bird feeder was empty. Your chances of being murdered by a turkey are slim but not zero.

    Bitterroot Turkeys

    Some Bitterroot yard birds. My dog had to watch them invade his yard daily so I'd let him retrieve one or two a year for his enjoyment.
