Tactical Harness
This harness size chart was right on for Sprocket's measurements. All fitted items fit him well.

Outward Hound PFD - I believe this is the model. Tried on for size but never actually...
We adopted a 3 (or was he really 6?) year old, 70lb rescue Lab-Shepherd mix Sprocket in early Feb 2021. He was extremely smart but a challenge because he had been kept tied up, hadn't been trained, socialized with humans or other dogs, or neutered by his original owner. Animal Control removed...
Kinda wish I'd had one on 1 trip near Mt Adams where this tree was next to an ideal spot to hang my hammock.
Lying in my "bear burrito", I was awakened just as dawn was beginning to break by a loud, totally unfamiliar sound for about 15 minutes.
The recording doesn't do it justice. While it's...
As I stated earlier, I have had 2 fairly to very close surprise encounters with black bears (not carrying bear spray); the 1st and closest being a sow and cub that I managed to see and silently back away from before they saw me. At the 2nd encounter I was able to make myself appear larger by...
I had no expectations that the Feds would abandon their efforts to transplant Griz into WA. It sounds like they are at least starting with a 25 bear "test" population. But as I recall the "North Cascades Ecosystem" (NCE) extends south to I90 with a neighboring human population more than double...
After serving 2 USAF enlistments I had a 38 year IT career; over 2/3 of it with a regional health insurance provider. A few years before I retired the company was rated highly by a consumer rating organization. Then the CEO told employees he wanted the company to reach USAA's Customer Service...
Plumbobbers http://www.plumbobber.com/index.html look very interesting. However their production and distribution appears to be problematic. There is only one retail outlet listed on the Plumbobber website and they show none of any size in stock and a review stating they're hard to find...
Thank You for the update. I stand corrected. I could not find a more recent report about HB-1589 than the Feb 1 2024 KREM article, or an article about its companion Senate bill.
I also apologize for my part of the derailment.

House Bill 1589, which failed to clear the legislature last year, is now getting a second look, with a revised version passing the House Monday by a 52-45 vote.
The bill would ban any gas company that serves more than 500,000 customers — specifically, Puget Sound Energy (PSE) — from connecting...
^^^True
Is "pushed" more like standing on the tracks in front of a freight train?

I believe it is good to have the contrast of a less dire prediction from someone who is particularly knowledgeable about PNW weather.

When I needed to replace my old worn out GI OGs shorts, along with my Carhart cargo shorts due to OMB (old man butt) syndrome near the end of last summer, I found stretch "Wrangler Riggs Cargo shorts" and Ariat "Rebar DuraStretch Made Tough 11"" (camo; very close to MARPAT) shorts one (fitted)...
Nice to have tides *and cfs gauges (but I'd rather use Riverflows.net for cfs) included now* but I wish "Pamphlet Mode" option was persistent like the previous version. If I have the FishWA app open on my Samsung S-22+ and go to another app (Riverflows.net to check CFS), then go back to FishWA...
