Never had to study or work hard in high school. Went to college and was completely unprepared. Was asked to leave after it became clear my BAC was higher than my GPA! Made pizzas for a while as a dead-end job and then enlisted in the Navy. Passed the ASVAB with flying colors and went into the...

Octavia Butler's Parable series. 5⭐

I bought a HarvestRight freezer. You can buy direct or from Home Depot. Blue Alpine is another brand to consider. I ended up with the medium sized one, which is 5 drying trays. The small seemed too small, and the large, too large. I tend to cook full meals for 4-6, eat one that evening, and then...

I invested in a freeze dryer last year. Expensive, but man does it work great. I can cook almost any meal and throw in the dryer. 24 hours later, a light meal, easily stored in mylar bags with an oxygen absorber..... meals ready to eat with a little water. Gourmet meals on trail! Scallops and...

There's a very clear fly fishing only lake in north central WA that has nesting loons. Watching them dive to feed while fishing has kept me entertained repeatedly.

Check out Dunesport.com. Custom toy haulers from 10ft. Quality builds. Delivery available, or drive down to Mesa and pick it up. Bought a 20 ft bumper pull from them in 2017, and haven't been disappointed yet.

Can you tell us where you stayed?

Tom, I've always been kind of baffled by the crappie in that local reservoir. That place gets drawn down to a mudhole, then freezes over in winter, and then spring runoff gets diverted out of the creek to fill it back up. I can't figure out where those things come from. Certainly not further up...

This House of Sky was amazing. Also a huge fan.

AK coho, ling, rockfish, and halibut in July!

Here's another resource I use when thinking of wading a stretch of the Yak. http://www.worleybuggerflyco.com/#gsc.tab=0

If ever there was a man that defined humility, graciousness, and of being of service to others, it was him. A loss for me personally, for our country, and the world. Thank You Mr. President. Thank You.

The book is definitely better than the movie. And it's ties to the story of Louis Zamperini in Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand are pretty interesting.

This is what we use. And my wife camps out of her mini-van often with this thing. https://www.amazon.com/Camco-Toilet-Designed-Recreational-Activities-5-3-41541/dp/B004SFKJIQ/

This is what I use and it turns out great. I dehydrate instead of smoke and usually cut with the grain at about 1/8 in thick. It also works for ground meat jerky too. And they have multiple flavors to choose from. This one just happens to be my favorite.

The Orvis Fly Tying Guide is similar and probably a little cheaper.

Oh, and I lost a side mirror off off the jeep just north of Qquossoc coming out of the logging roads on the way back the Rangeley Lodge to a moose. Can't see those things at all after dark on the blacktop where they come out of the woods to graze on the side of the road. For moose and spring...

As a Maine transplant with lots of time spent in "Moose Alley"....otherwise known as Oquossoc.... saw the strangest thing a few years ago. The wife and I took a motorcycle ride from Walla Walla up to Steptoe Butte. On the way home coming back down 195 across the Palouse, we both did a...

They're out and about on the small waters near Walla Walla now too, have been for about 2 weeks.
