Got to visit with a griz trainer and his bear; Todd Orr came to describe his mauling; practiced trying to hit a charging bear on...

    Where or How Do You Carry?

    Took an interesting class last summer, "surviving a griz attack". They had a bear head posted on a target on rails that came at you for about 30 feet, and you had to get your bear spray out and hit the target before it got to you. I think only 1 person out of the 20 or so students was...

    Mystery Ranch's new SCAPEGOAT 25

    Just bought a MR Scapegoat 25 from Schnees. Tried it in the store with 50 LBs and it was comfortable. Have hiked up into the Bridgers with it twice with a 36 lb load and only a light T shirt. Did not cut into my shoulders or hips at all and handled the weight great. It should handle a boned...

    FIBULA breaks. Tell me some good news

    Another thing. Be sure to go to the PT as often as possible. They wanted me to go twice a week and I said no, I wanted to come 3 times a week. The PT's told me that most patients do not come in as often as they should. They also had me icing it at least 3 times a day for 15-20 minutes...
