Ice fishing
A couple winters past, I decided I wanted to get some underwater video of ice fishing. I didn't want to spend a bunch on an underwater camera so I did a little research and discovered that a GoPro can be controlled and viewed underwater with a phone on the surface. Bluetooth doesn't work through...- theat

Nap-of-the-Earth Helicopter Video
Ha! I grew up overseas and had limited exposure to good classic rock. I had heard and liked several of The Who's tunes, but had never heard Eminence Front until the pilot in this video played it on the intercom one day while we were flying. It has since made its way to the top of my "get me...- theat

Nap-of-the-Earth Helicopter Video
I'm sure that they are there, but I didn't see very many of them or other big game along the 49th. Saw more bears than anything. I did see tons of moose, caribou, dall and stone sheep, as well as both species of bears along the Alaska/Yukon border. We usually tried to avoid flying close to...- theat

Nap-of-the-Earth Helicopter Video
I guessing that you are talking about one of these? They are border monuments. There are over 8 thousand of them along the US-Canada border. Most people don't know it, but the actual western border is not the 49th parallel. It is close, but the real border is the somewhat straight line from the...- theat

Nap-of-the-Earth Helicopter Video
I've been going through a bunch of old footage I have taken over the years and started to put together some videos. Figured if I didn't do something with it, they would just sit on an old hard drive and fade into obscurity in my cluttered mind. In this first part of a video from my 2015 field...- theat

Forest Service Issues ‘E-Bike’ Guidance
Not at all. If someone rides, runs, hikes, or walks faster than me, I could care less. My main concern with e-bikes, and what I have gathered from most that oppose expanding there usage, is that it is just one more MAJOR advantage for getting more and more people further and further into the...- theat

Forest Service Issues ‘E-Bike’ Guidance
They don't have a throttle, just pedal assist. Not sure what class they would be, but it really takes very minimal effort pedaling to keep the motor running once you get it going.- theat

Forest Service Issues ‘E-Bike’ Guidance
My mid/upper 70’s parents bought a couple e-bikes last summer. They got some cheap knock off models. Those things make a world of difference in ease of travel when biking. Neither of my parents are in good shape, hell my dad can’t even walk on uneven ground. When I have ridden my mountain bike...- theat

Shooters tarnishing our public land
Around here, most of the really bad recreation shooting happens on state land. Probably more due to the state lands being located in the valley and most forest service in the mountains. I would definitely say the state does little if anything to discourage the practice, and I doubt they ever...- theat

Spring bear 2023 - MT or ID??
Interestingly enough, I have been taking to several biologist around here and they are starting to get pretty concerned with the amount of pressure and how many bears are getting killed in NW Montana the past few years. Sounds like the harvest has more than doubled and tripled in some areas...- theat

Chinese surveillance balloon over Montana?
I have read Boltons comments. Several people in this thread have stated that Biden is lying about the previous balloons and that is what you were insinuating in your post. I pretty plainly stated that I don't blame trump. Not a gotcha, actually the opposite of a gotcha. I just hate the political...- theat

Chinese surveillance balloon over Montana?
Aaww, @noharleyyet you deleted your response to my post before I could post this article. Im guessing that you now do believe that there were several Chinese spy balloons that crossed the US during Trumps time in office. At least this time the military spotted it before they had already passed...- theat

Exactly. Internal political reasons for freaking out about it, and internal political reasons for shooting it down.- theat

Just out of curiosity, are you guys that are so mad at the current resident of the White House that did shoot down the balloon, equally as mad at Trump for letting TWO similar Chinese balloons cross the US without doing anything during his presidency? I trust our military enough to believe them...- theat
