Rattlesnake vaccination and carry Benadryl (also useful for insect, scorpion etc bites) A way to pick up poop and carry it with you or in your vehicle if there is no place to dispose of it at that moment - like a double bag or a container with a lid or if you are hiking a pack with an outside...

" Under the current fee structure charged in the PNW by Region 6 of the Forest Service as the example, little or no monies collected go toward hard, (Law) enforcement. What may be spent in soft (employee contact) enforcement is unclear, I’ll offer not a lot or enough." Lucky Dan And that is...

got the second shot yesterday tired and a little achy but nothing that an IPA (high IBUs!) and a shot of Jameson's couldn't deal with

Unfortunately John Adams was right. And what Foy said, "More rules, permits, and fees might merely penalize the law abiding group and do little or nothing to stop the hordes." But doing nothing will do nothing to stop the hordes either. I think it is worth adding that I believe the...

As I said - I sighed a big sigh when I concluded that some kind of administration may be necessary. To be very, very clear I have contemplated what kind of effect such a plan could have on my recreation but the lack of administration is having a tremendously adverse effect on my ability to camp...

I encountered a couple last summer who claimed to have a permit which allowed them to have a campfire in a dispersed location because they had a portable fire pit. They didn't even have a shovel. Apparently you don't even have to be literate to pass that campfire "test". I have also sighed...

I often break up fire rings. They attract garbage and allow idiots to think a campfire is okay regardless of anything else. When my house is right over the ridge from the smoldering coals left behind I kinda take that a little personally. But I have seen little flags that the FS (or someone)...

I was camping in the Eastern Sierra. I don't run my heater while I sleep - I have a real warm down bag and a comforter and a dog. It was 5 degrees in the camper the morning of Feb. 18. I laughed.

I read a comment on a news article this past summer. The commenter stated that he was not going to visit the Eastern Sierra anymore because we stress the importance of "tread lightly" principles. So yeah - that is the kind of person we dealt with last summer. Yeah - I live here in Mono County...

I attempted to watch her advertisement, for a security company, whoops, I mean video about safely traveling solo and female. I guess I am not bored enough to waste that kind of time. Did she ever say anything about what to do when you are face to face with someone who intends to do you harm? I'm...

That is not what I have said. but I think this is a fine place for a quote from Steve Jobs: "People don't know what they want until you show it to them." so who is doing the "deciding"?

I don't have the source at hand so I won't give a percentage but my recollection is that most of the energy used is in manufacturing. Some of this is necessary. I think a lot of it is not. So how much "stuff" do we really need?

This just came into my e-mail box. https://dgrnewsservice.org/civilization/the-real-green-new-deal-project-starting-premises-and-goals/?utm_source=DGR+News+Service&utm_campaign=9fdc7632fe-RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_51489b99cd-9fdc7632fe-427290917

I have too many generator stories. These are just some of the "best" ones - The most recent was a generator running off and on all night at Benton Hot Springs last November. If they had not pulled out the next morning I was going to make a trip to the office. They waved when they left. I...

One of the greatest musical treats of my life was seeing what was called The Rounder Album Band. It was my first bluegrass festival.

Environmental writer Derrick Jensen told a story of a journal publisher asking him to end a piece on the destruction of the planet on a happy note. He turned the job down. And as I was falling asleep last night I was thinking about hydropower and recalled the small hydro push in the late '80s...

A friend turned me on to this band. When Tony Rice passed I decided one way I could honor his incredible contribution to the world of music would be to support some up and coming bands.

I learned to play that song. I sing. I cry. Especially last year. "carried bodies to the river wondering how I stayed alive"

Yes. I am interested. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Yes. But I fear that not enough people know, love or care about the western deserts - much like a 3rd world country.

Exactly. I had a first generation Prius for 16 years, pre lithium but nickel mining is not "better". I bought it because I was commuting 120 miles a day (ironically to work for an environmental organization) It was very expensive for one thing but if I had known then what I know now about the...

That is a superb resource!

If I may jump in here for a moment: Top six lithium-producing countries in the world in 2019 Australia – 42,000 tonnes. Australia is by far the world's top producer of lithium, with an output of 42,000 tonnes in 2019. ... Chile – 18,000 tonnes. ... China – 7,500 tonnes. ... Argentina – 6,400...

I know the guys who have been camping out there for the past three weeks otherwise I probably would not have known what was happening - though I was aware that just about every valley in NV is being eyed for lithium production. I suspect I'll be headed that way soon to bring supplies and some...

One of the last acts of the 45th president was to provide a "fast track" for desert mining operations. The Thacker Pass area (North of Winnemucca) is slated to be turned into a lithium mine. There will also be a processing facility to turn sulphur (which is removed during the refinement of...
