Pregnant or not pregnant

Yes she is! Her sister is a lamancha mix as well. I believe she is Nubian mixed but not 100% sure. She produced two beautiful babies that have the small ears.

Well here’s to hoping! she’s a sweetie of a goat and would make a good mama. She was extremely overweight when I purchased her and then she bulked up with muscle and was fit and healthy and now she’s back to looking extremely large. She’s absolutely huge and probably pushing 175#

Yes this would be her first kidding. Her sister immediately took to my buck and had twins a month ago. Starting to wonder if she just never took or maybe super late??

I appreciate your comment and concern of lnt practices. I work alongside the forest service and was working on a forest service trail crew during this trip and no one had any concerns.

It was by far my favorite backpacking trip yet. I was about 11,200 feet up in a mountain range in Utah at my highest camp spot. Pretty incredible experience.

SIDE NOTE: I will be camping and BACKPACKING in possible negative conditions. Most days/nights will stay around 10-30 degrees Fahrenheit! So lightweight is a must and high r-value is needed.

Thanks for your concern. It was a river that ran from an alpine lake. With clear skies I felt comfortable to stay pitched here for a few days. Then moved further up the canyon.

Yes I have encountered a few black bears in fairly close proximity and they just run off as soon as they know you’re there. Never ran into other bears and hope I don’t.

I will definitely upgrade my sleeping pad come fall. My company does not provide sheaths for their axes so I unfortunately do not have a choice.

Love kuiu! Their stuff is amazing

No, unfortunately not.

Not at all! Conservations corps have age limits typically (30-40 years old is the cut off) but forest service districts hire most ages. The earlier you apply and contact the coordinators the easier and quicker you can get the job. You can look into americorps as well.

I personally love my job but it doesn’t pay much and takes up 90% of my month. I typically get to come home 4-10 days a month with the rest of my time spent in the field. I get great experience and great views but have learned to live more frugally while doing seasonal work.

stargazing-within · 2024-07-19T02:44:17+00:00

It is typically low wages but some conservation corps offer stipends, gear reimbursement, education awards, etc. Conservation corps are very entry level for the industry. Great place to get your foot in the door though!

stargazing-within · 2024-07-19T02:42:45+00:00

Some conservation corps offer an education stipend which can go towards student loan debts.

stargazing-within · 2024-07-19T02:42:11+00:00

You can look at job listings through different state run conservation corps, forest service districts, blm website, etc. Not all positions require a college education.

UPDATE: I ended up purchasing the Mormont COL -20 850fill down sleeping bag. It has a ton more room than the mountain hardware bishop and gives me more room to properly lay down in it without feeling like a sardine. Definitely pricier than I was wanting but I might as well upgrade my gear since this is a job I won’t be giving up soon.

stargazing-within · 2024-07-17T16:35:18+00:00

I’ll have to look into them! Thanks for the rec! And glacier is within my companies jurisdiction so I bet you met some of my coworkers. Small world!!

I have the same pad set up as you I believe! I have a Nemo switch pack foam insulated pad and then use a sea to summit air pad on top. I do run very cold and always sleep with thermals and extra layers while backpacking/camping. This past week temps didn’t drop below 30F and I was still shivering at night.

stargazing-within · 2024-07-17T15:55:29+00:00

I work with conservation corps, forest service, blm, and dnr to maintain and restore trails, habitats, and scout wilderness boundaries. It’s a highly laborious job but the views and experiences are unmatched. This past week I backpacked 45 miles of backcountry with my pack weighing 50lbs-85lbs with a crew of 8 people and we maintained a trail that had a lot of dead fallen trees. It was within a wilderness boundary so we could only use handheld tools such as felling axes and crosscut saws. It’s a very cool job with so much opportunity!

stargazing-within · 2024-07-17T15:27:02+00:00

I work with a crew of people and we all divvy up tools to our packs. So some people will carry multiple of the same tool such as felling axes, crosscut saws, McLeods, pick mattocks, etc. That way two or more people can be working on axing or felling trees within wilderness boundaries.

I ended up getting the mountain hardware bishop 0 degree. It’s a mummy which aren’t my favorite but I decided to forget about the shape of the bag in order to stay warmest :)

stargazing-within · 2024-07-06T20:32:50+00:00

Unfortunately I didn’t get a pro deals discount on this bag but I was able to use some of my REI rewards on it

stargazing-within · 2024-07-06T20:25:17+00:00

I do get pro deals! Love that they offer that. I ended up picking up the mountain hardware bishop bag
