    Utah People, thoughts on this?

    Engineer, mostly transportation projects. All our work was contracted with cities and counties while we dealt with states' DOTs, the fed DOT, BLM, USDA, and a few other lettered agencies for the bulk of the funding. A couple decades of that gives one surprising insight to what works and what...

    Colorado Question

    Big game has a .24 caliber minimum requirement. So if he chooses to carry something smaller with a small game license, that helps his case that he is not hunting deer or elk. Any long rifle in a bigger caliber could lead to a difficult conversation with some CPW officers explaining his intent.

    Utah People, thoughts on this?

    Boil it all down to the bone, and I always go back to this: the threshold for corruption is highest with the federal government when compared to state and local. What I mean is, after decades of consulting for and around .gov at local, state, and federal levels, I think the lower the level of...

    Jetboil Genesis

    Jetboil Genesis is great, but they took some "planned obsolescence" tips from the tech industry. Already have an old flash system, you say? Would love to just sit it on your new Genesis burner? Nope, it's sized just close enough to give you hope but won't actually hold it for boiling water or...

    Western CO LWCF Win

    Cool, looks like a good chunk of land. Cue the two county commissions' pearl-clutching about lost tax revenue.

    game bags vs pillow cases

    Your hunting buddies won't "borrow" your ugly pillow cases to get their meat home.

    As they lay

    Hit him in the heart, he took 3 steps. Hat tip to the oak brush for the assist. 7mmPRC 394 yds. Last Monday. Colorado.

    In Defense of Mountain House -- a Treatise

    Only one data point here, but I wolfed down a sweet/sour pork meal on Friday night. It was as ok-ish as every other freeze dried meal I've ever had. I noticed about halfway through its expiry date...2013! Must have slipped through previous purges in the pantry. Not even sure if it was MH or BP...

    Best new 3/4 ton gasser?

    Figured I'd follow up with you all. I'm about 10 months into a 2022 Ram Power Wagon and am pretty happy with it. I've spent quite a few miles on washboardy forest service roads this year and it beats the heck out of my old 2015 Tradesman Ram 2500. It's not smooth, but much smoother. I air down...

    A Rollercoaster Ride Through The CO Alpine

    Damned dirty SDans! (I was one). Great writeup. What I've told my friends is that not to worry, we all lose a wounded animal once in a great while. It will only bother you for 20 years or so.

    Post Tourniquet application questions.

    I'd echo what others have said, once a TQ goes on tight, like stopping arterial flow tight, only medical staff should take it off. Weird things can happen with that once-stopped blood suddenly moving around your system. It may not play well with heart, brain, other important things! In a pinch...

    Colorado bear ear tag colors

    Thanks, all. They always go for the bad boys. I'll see if I can remove this criminal from the gene pool! They had the whole forest, not sure why they picked in front of my camera.

    Colorado bear ear tag colors

    Does anyone know if there is any meaning to the various colors of ear tags on Colorado bears? The interwebs lead one to believe that white tags were orphaned bears. Saw one this summer with green tags and one last summer with yellow tags. The fella at the CPW office desk wasn't sure, he thought...

    Black Ovis brand clothing vs Cabelas Instinct clothing?????

    Not sure about instinct. But I have several pieces of Black Ovis off camofire and am generally happy with it all. Base layer bottoms and skivvies are pretty snug through thighs and calves, I'll order a size up on any more. But, I realize not everyone is gifted with a fire hydrant physique, some...

    The Fallacy of “Spreading Out The Use” in Land Management

    You have a friend in traffic engineers. Look up "theory of induced traffic" and it's generally the same theme. Widen and build more roads, and people will just use them more rather than relieving congestion. It's controversial but hard to argue when you boil it down to straight logic...which is...

    Governor Polis appoints three new members to the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission

    I'm not familiar with the three who left to make room for these new folks. The scene wasn't exactly rosy before but I assume it sounds like it will get worse.

    OnX maps on your video display in Truck

    Is the Android Auto version still "coming soon" or is there a way to get it set up now? It's not popping up in my truck with the other compatible apps. I have the hunt version, not the offroad or backcountry. I read some offroading forums where they use it in their trucks, I'm wondering if the...

    Another fan of the MR Pintler. I've carried moose and elk quarters on mine.

    Better coolers

    For about the same or less per quart you can get a 12v fridge/freezer. After realizing I don't haul big coolers very far from a plug, that's the way I went. Everybody's needs are different but keeping stuff frozen solid for long road trips is nice.
