Here is another vote for a Katadyn BeFree. Similar to GSmolt I've noticed the filter sucks when dry so make an effort to pre wet it. I've drank out of some scuzzy water with it and have been pretty happy without much of a loss of preformance. I've heard some concerns about holes in the water...

Sandy River

What are they working on? A lot of years ago I lived halfway down the hill to the park, learned to ride my bike down there & spent a summer working there in college.

Just to be pedantic this has since been surpassed by the Cold Springs Canyon/Pearl Hill fire that hit 413k acres.

I'd to love to see that photo if you don't mind. For clarity was she hunting mountain goats or bighorns? There is a great old out of print book from Owen Wister about hunting goats in the upper Twisp and Chewuch. I've still seen a few goats in the Twisp but haven't ever seen one in the...

There aren't a lot of yellow hardman pads out and about these days. I never was tough enough myself and have embraced Thermarest life.

Well if anyone is interested the entire conference is available online. With YouTube links available here: UCSRB Science Summit Other talks that were particularly interesting to me were Day 1: David "Yellowash" Washinies(keynote), John Crandall(lamprey), Allen Evans(avian predation), Dave...

SG the bull trout population decline in the Skagit correlates with what has been seen in the Upper Columbia over the past decade. Obviously there is a lot happening differently on either side of the Cascades between fires, pinks and sockeye however I think it's incorrect to dismiss climate...

I've done the same as clarkman to make a single hand intermediate line out of an Airflo line. I believe I cut from the back and used a premade braided loop that I either bought from someone on WFF or Speypages. Maybe it was even a Rio product?

Good God I hate my Foodsaver and would love to try one of these things out. Congrats Matt B!

It is ridiculous that the Methow didn't go into hoot owl this year. Seeing how the flows have been tracking since July has kept me off the water this year.

Don't follow advice from people's family recipes for how long you should be canning for or random internet blogs. Stick to USDA or Ball recipes. These are scientifically developed rather than passed down through word of mouth and hocus pocus. Random other thoughts: As far as pressure canning...

There are some similarities.

Of 50 plus this week I don't think a single one made a lap around our whaler. We fish with our drags set to kill and most of them came on gear rods so take that for what little it's worth

I had a pleasant surprise while out bear hunting a couple weekends ago. I don't find it a lot but man is chicken of the woods good!

No fish pics today but I did get a picture of a neighboring boat that I'm pretty sure exceeded the 4 fish per fisherman in Marine Area 7. It's fun watching the commercial guys work.

We just put 12 fish in the boat in 1:15 off of Roche Harbor with 1-2 people fishing most of the time and one person frantically netting, bonking, bleeding and getting fish into the cooler. There is an incredible amount of humpies around now!

Good gawd I need a friend with an ocean boat!

Gotcha. I'm used to the more rough tide pool version rather the alien looking one I was holding. Thanks!

I'm piggy backing on this thread with a much less exciting catch than a cabezon. I caught this little fellow mooching on a rocky steep bottom and partially bent out a 3/0 Octopus hook trying to get my line free before it popped off the bottom. Any guesses besides some type of phlegm? I didn't...
