    RIP RAGS aka Chris Stone of Portland, OR

    Thought I should put the news out for those who haven't heard already. Rags, aka Chris Stone, caught the last westbound earlier this month in a car accident in Austin, TX. His dog, Spree, has been relocated to his folks. Heard there's a memorial in Portland on April 7th for those who are...

    Forest Security - Game Cameras

    The higher end cameras seem to have both options, but the low budget ones are just a weak flash. They can both to hard wired like any other surveillance camera as well.

    Forest Security - Game Cameras

    The bushnell was about a grand (using it for work) and the Moultrie was $60. The latter being greatly inferior in terms of flash, megapixel, and motion sensor range. Will definitely buy some in the $200 range later this year.

    The weapon that makes you feel safe?

    I'd say having the choice weapon depends on your geography, your mode of transit, and your local laws. And to repeat the aforementioned, weapons are cool and whatnot, but nothing will help you defend yourself as well as keeping your cool. Maintaining clear thinking and a sense of composure in...

    Forest Security - Game Cameras

    She's about 200lbs, and was following a small pack of boar. I'd been tracking her for two weeks, and was so stoked to actually get this shot. It took another week of hiking, but I found one of her kill dens as well.

    Forest Security - Game Cameras

    Whenever I'm setting up a new rural base of operations in the forest, whether it be camping / squatting / or working,I always make it a point to know what types of critter folk are out there lurking around at night. So I've taken to the habit of placing game cameras around my neck of the woods...

    A few questions about slab city.

    On the note of Slabs - Does anyone know if Imperial County (Niland, etc) and Yuma, Az (Yuma County) have misdemeanor extradition laws despite the state line since the counties are bordering? I've heard such in passing, and thus, have strayed away from the area.

    Fucking mad love to the Birdhaus! Without argument, one of the most beautiful, friendly, and cooperative punk projects I've ever been privileged to visit. If I was Easterly, I wouldn't hesitate to grab a hammer and throw in some sweat.

    cleaning bones - anyone have experience with this?

    A heavy solution of water and dollar store dish soap soak is the way to go for soaking land mammals. Be prepared for grossness and scrubbing and patience. Let that stuff soak for a few days - weeks. And don't use bleach! Let your bones dry for a few days (once devoid of flesh) and then soak them...

    It depends where you cross the border. It will be trickier near metro areas, or on the western coast. And No, they aren't obligated to let you into their country. And Yes, they will almost absolutely deny you for felonies and DUIS. The same applies to my Canadian friends who have been banned...
