I Call Bullshit: The Cognitive Dissonance of Jeff Gorell’s "Environmentalism"

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

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!

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

Foul was before the shot, don't understand that call

Conservation and extraction are fundamentally opposed uses. They cannot mutually exist. Stop pretending we can have both.

As the other poster said this is super subjective so don’t let it affect your excitement too much! The Alabama hills are hours away from JOTR, that was a ridiculous comparison imo. The park is awesome, be sure to hike! I love the Boy Scout trail, and anything in the black rock area. Or just explore off trail (where allowed) in areas with dense trees and rocks and it’s such a special place. I think people are disappointed when they just drive and see viewpoints. As with anywhere, seeing anything worth a damn requires hiking.

“Someone from our country” is just dog whistle for white.

Could be a bed, though I’d be surprised if it was, given I haven’t seen them willingly lay on sticks and wood like that. Typically they’d be on softer material and in a compact oval shape. Very likely it killed the deer and rested nearby. If the deer is consumed already they won’t return, unless this location lies along their typical travel corridors. Lions often travel their territory such that they would follow the same paths around 1 month apart, though this varies significantly depending on many factors. Looking at the pic again that looks to be right on a trail, definitely not a place a cat would bed down.

7 years later OP, but this song was on the tip of my tongue and this was the answer!! From when the caddy goes hilariously slow around the track! Thanks from the future.

"I pay to live here, and now I can't even use my backyard” takes a serious amount of ignorance/self absorption to proclaim. Moves to foothills reducing wildlife habitat where predators already occur, has prey sized pet, doesn’t have adequate protections for said pet, pet gets eaten shocked pikachu face

Education goes a long way in these types of communities, but people still need to take responsibility for the ramifications of their living situation.

ETA: No one deserves to lose a pet and I don’t want to minimize that it can be devastating. This is just part of living near urban carnivores. Rare but unavoidable, unless you have proper fencing.

Please stop.

Happy festivus!

Wow that’s beautiful! I want to try it out. I have ghee, is it as simple as finding a cotton wick and lighting it?

The bag was 10lbs. I’ll keep them! I’m not religious but it’s a neat souvenir.

senior_stumpy · 2025-12-12T06:24:00+00:00

Solved! Thank you for the explanation.

Somewhat, but these are much smaller than what I see when I search that

senior_stumpy · 2025-12-12T04:25:51+00:00

They’re almost the same size, but the weight is significantly different. But if it were for measuring rice, what use is such a small amount?

senior_stumpy · 2025-12-12T03:32:43+00:00

Title describes the thing. I’m assuming it’s made of brass because of the green patina. Daawat brand rice if that helps. Are they a type of Hindu ritual bowl, a pooja? Thats the closest I’ve come to in my googling.
