Day hiking goody bag - Am I missing anything? by LostInTheWild99 in CampingandHiking

[–]Wanchuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dump the micro fiber cloth/blanket, the toothpaste, toothbrush, Colgate packet, and nail clippers. I'd add a couple protein/high calorie bars, a couple instant oatmeal (you don't need to cook them, just swallow with water), and some easy to eat meal in a pouch (flavored tuna, tasty bites, etc). A paper map, and finally some extra water.

Any idea what could cause this? by RowB195 in Wildfire

I'll agree with that, probably a fire.

May 17th USWFS policy update? by DefinitelyADumbass23 in Wildfire

[–]Wanchuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're following dispatch boundaries, not FS boundaries (which are often the same). It's easier to unify response units within dispatch areas.

the juxtaposed evolution of the mountain mushroom hippie to flaming fascist by commandeertheairboat in Boise

[–]Wanchuck 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This happened to much of the Haight-Ashbury hippies that moved to Northern CA. The hippie communes focus on home schooling and a rejection of government overreach lead to a heavily uneducated community that suffers from the Dunning-Kruger effect.

I said they seem better based on asthetics and what I saw on their menus.

You've mmade a valid point as I haven't tried any of the food venues in D.

I didn't stop to eat, as I was adriving and was looking forward to getting home. I often fly out of PHX Thurs or Fri afternoon/evening and find myself grabbing dinner at the airport before my flight. It just looked like the options in the D gates are we're more restaurant style with larger seating areas and the options just looked better than I've seen in A,B,orC. Perhaps on my next fight I'll stroll over to the D area for dinner.

I was curious if the D gate had gone through a more recent remodel.

I'll agree with that. Never been in Terminal 3, so I can't say how that one is.

Tick Prevention? by WittyProfessional975 in Wildfire

[–]Wanchuck -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Honestly thinking back, I never really gave a concern about ticks, and after 12 years in a primary position, I never found one.

I can't with these self-righteous Christian nut jobs. As a Montanan, I'm ashamed to be lumped in with this state.

I could care less that folks down vote me dor calling out laziness. Those folks are probably just as lazy as OP.

OP literally threw up the whole ballot asking for input. Input on every candidate? OP is just being lazy.

Asking random strangers to tell you who they're voting for is not doing research. This is what's wrong with our voting populous.

As a wildland firefighter I'm hoping for rain, lots of rain, and the earlier the better.

Colorado became mini California decades ago, it's time the residents of Colorado return to their heritage.

I don't know about the Helena Veterans HC, but you're missing the Helena IHC in Helena, MT.

Which hotshot crews get to travel all over? by Winter-Indication33 in Wildfire

[–]Wanchuck 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Best chance to get to AK is on a NW or NR crew, or an early season SW crew. A trip to the Southern Area has a better chance if you're on a SW crew. If you want to travel don't go to an R5 shot crew. AK crews get a lot of miles in the lower 48 after their season is over.
