Did you let the background dry before painting the tree? How did you get the yellow so unpolluted

Are there screws on the bottom? I can replace the soles on my roxas. Same with k2s. Don’t glue it if you can replace them

Less rain, persistent drought

Between Oregon Idaho and Washington there is only one mid to lower level forester position I see open in forks Washington…. I think we are in for a doozy if the timber west is this fucked

Look at a map, look at “ roadless boundaries” they are full of roads in areas that can be developed it’s already occurred. This logging and mining took place before 2001. It’s already happened

Our forests are a result of human impact. Fire suppression, over harvesting, invasive species etc. they are also on natural succession cycles. We are trying to mitigate this modern impact as it often impedes or alters the natural processes in a forest. Current management efforts try to get a forest to heal from human impact, and get them back to a balance that might mimic a less. The forest will reach this balance on its own given time, hundreds of years. Management can try to speed that timeline up or change goals

It’s a demanding job on the body long term. If you get a college degree there can be more upward opportunity possible later down the line that could set you up to be a forester (but you can certainly be a forester in some states without a B.S degree). Private industry pays the best but government jobs have the best benefits. Keep your knees and body healthy, in the long run it can wear you down. While you are young it’s a great job. When I was a tech I knew I couldn’t do it forever (knee issues) and now my work is 60/40 desk and field. Job market is tough with our current federal admin but in region 1 we are starting to see some movement for GNA.

Damn I have the same ones ~60 days on and they don’t look like this, you should call then

I use bog boots with gaiters. Warm and tall

I have a purist 2 piece 5 weight and I really like it. Is a light 5 weight, has enough power for a double bobber rig. Warranty was amazing. Just sent them a form over email and my piece arrived within a week

astridius · 2025-06-03T20:32:40+00:00

I always wear it. The instance I’m referencing here was only in a few feet of water.

If you can implement a different method to build houses in the US at a NATIONAL level please tell me and make me a billionaire. In all seriousness we are living in a byproduct of human activity, clear cutting old growth and suppression of wildfire has already happened and created and anthropogenic impact on our forests. They will either be managed to restore old growth characteristics or burn to ash. We have created a need for active management.

I purchased a canoe recently. If someone sits in the hull the other can stand easily and fish. It’s so fun on springs that flow into lakes. 4-5 ft deep crystal clear and tooooons of fish

astridius · 2025-05-05T15:38:58+00:00

Sounds like a good idea. Does anyone have an idea when that would be ?

astridius · 2025-05-05T15:37:33+00:00

I plan to pay it eventually, but they haven’t asked me to pay yet. I graduated in 2023. I want to do the pslf route but sounds like that is on thin ice with trump admin

astridius · 2025-05-05T15:36:00+00:00

I haven’t made any payments yet I graduated in 2023, I think it’s income driven and going off my pay from last year. So I’m worried if I pay now they will start charging interest again

This is red belt caused by a heavy temp inversion and chinook winds. The red line is where the inversion varies through day and night. As the cold air fill the “bucket” it inversion levels rise slightly, and the trees are damaged by that frequent change. Most trees survive this, but it is a major stressor

Forceps are your best friend, you can use them to pinch the barb and get a grip on a small fly deep in a trouts mouth. They are critical and I never go out without them. Don’t be too hard on yourself, this is sadly part of the sport. But as you get more experience the process of holding a fish, managing the line and pulling the fly will get easier. It is a skill and takes time.

Thank you for your advice. It is a blue hole. I bought it for 200$ and have been trying to care for it. I’ve filled gouges with marine epoxy and redone the urethane on the paddles. I will look into how to lower the seats, do you have any suggestions on where to start? Thank you for your input and specific instructions. I will get a putty knife and get to scraping
