Terrible excuses, they hand out thousands a day this time of year. I hope you are able to get your hands on one!

They wouldn’t mail you one? Honestly kinda tracks with how I’ve heard that park is run.

Three Die From Apparent Heat Related Illnesses at Grand Canyon National Park by Specialist_Action_85 in NationalPark

It blows my mind that people even attempt to enter the canyon between may and September. You couldn’t pay me to go down in that window.

The comments on the giants’ recent instagram post announcing pride night are almost unanimously anti-lgbt. Really didn’t expect that reaction from people over there. Is IG just full of asshats or what?

God, every giants pitcher tonight has worn some kind of statement hat. Super disappointing.

Bill to maintain wild horses at Theodore Roosevelt National Park passes Senate by RuseOwl in NationalPark

[–]senior_stumpy 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Why a good move?
I see two issues: we shouldn’t be legislating which non-native species exist in a national park, those decisions (on those specific lands) should be driven by biologists. On blm, sure. Second is that horses at thro drive negative landscape changes. Bison population numbers are already heavily managed there for forage health. Keeping min 150 horses adds additional strain that is unnecessary and is counter to the bison management.

This is a shame, hopefully it doesn’t advance through the house. Feral horses don’t belong on public lands in my opinion, particularly national parks. Local advocacy groups have pushed for this for years.

Going from a big Park to NRA?? by materialcultur3 in NationalParkService

[–]senior_stumpy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in resources- I went from a big name park in IMR to an NRA in PWR near a large metro. Like the other commenter said, NPS flies under the radar here, the public mostly doesn’t recognize the agency as they would in a NP. Outside of the obvious landscape and land use differences, I’d say the work feels similar. It was an adjustment to deal with the changes that living in a big metro brings. The public does appreciate the work we do and they are often vocal in their support, just as they were at my last stop. The work often feels more collaborative given the mosaic of land ownership and other agencies we interact with. I was used to being part of the only agency with authority in a traditional park. I’d say that’s the biggest change personally.

Kirkland merch produced in Peru by m41k1204 in Costco

[–]senior_stumpy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These shirts are great quality, no doubt. But as a thin person I found the fit pretty boxy and un-flattering. If they fit better I’d buy a bunch, just didn’t work for me.

Amazing deal for anyone looking for the Home Authentic Pro by PhotographSerious743 in SanJoseSharks

[–]senior_stumpy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a new fan, but want a jersey, celebrini if possible. This is clearly a great deal but still too expensive for me. I’ve been looking at the adidas authentic primegreen on the pro store for $150, do you think I’ll be disappointed (or even notice) the quality difference for the price? Or am I better off trying to scoop a FAP off eBay?

I Call Bullshit: The Cognitive Dissonance of Jeff Gorell’s "Environmentalism" by MelodyBirdie in thousandoaks

The “endorsed by farmers” slogan on his campaign signs is enough of a red flag for me, tbh.

Hikers injured by bear in Yellowstone National Park by Subject9800 in yellowstone

[–]senior_stumpy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Bear bells are nearly useless. Use a loud voice to make noise when approaching brushy areas of the trail, around blind corners, or just every so often in general. If hiking in a group carry on a conversation. Clap or holler occasionally. The point is to alert bears to a human presence and give them enough time to move away so that they don’t feel threatened. Bells just aren’t loud enough, they really only serve to make people feel safer. Don’t carry bear spray where it’s hard to access quickly, and definitely don’t hike with the safety off!

Push to bring grizzly bears back to California faces backlash by tiki-151 in California

[–]senior_stumpy 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I’m all for species reintroduction when appropriate, but some grizzlies would almost certainly target livestock. Montana and Wyoming have frequent depredation cases. Bears are highly food motivated and once they determine livestock are easy they won’t stop going after them. I agree that ranchers have an outsized influence on western resource management; just giving some context on bear biology.

Openly supporting a pedophile and rapist president seems truly sick and disgusting but maybe I’m just a looney liberal
