Sorry, without putting trees there to mitigate what those towers would look like the whole production is very self serving, not visually correct and actually amounts to a lie. I am almost certain that there are some trees in the forest that are 135 feet tall that might help hide this and even if...

We always go down to the porch if its available. Watch the fishes. Once they jammed us all the way around the bar in the back. I was wondering who I offended also. ;) Keith

I should have gone back in and yelled "alligator eggs". I'm sure that would have gotten me some attention. :D Sorry I missed you. Would have loved to say hi also. Hopefully next time and hats are a great idea. :D Keith

Whittier house on Saturday Night around 1844hrs Red Suburu with VFTT stickers on the back and left rear window. Last 2 digit on the license was 19. We parked right next to each other but I had my wife's car instead of my Jeep with my Sticker on it so that is why you wouldn't have noticed. If I...

Yep to both. Elk, like deer, have scent glands on their head. They rub to mark their territory. Nice video by the way. Keith

What they said. To everyone. :D Keith

Because of my EMS work I have gotten into the habit of carrying a few items on my belt 24/7. My EDC (every day carry) is my Fenix PD30 led light and the other is my Leatherman Juice CS4. 95% of anything I need to do can be fixed or worked on with those two items. I do also carry a Leatherman...

I must be thinking of a different pair of Sherpa claw snowshoes. I rented a pair on a week long winter camping trip, one of my first overnight winter trips and thought that they were the biggest pieces of s**t I had ever used. I remember the potato peeler tightening device getting so iced up...

This is the most common arrangement that is used in towns. We have a drive every year were we send out town telephone books that have enrollment forms in them. The fact you had Paramedics on board is what made it an ALS transport. Without paramedics it is a BLS transport. At least in CT, the...

As I have mentioned, we do. Keith

Really great photos. Thanks for sharing them. Keith

Nothing is going to work 100% of the time but my solution is to aim at the deer while taking your foot off of the accelerator. The reasoning is simple, your reaction time, and the movement of the deer will almost certainly mean that the deer will not be in the spot that you are aiming for by the...

I agree that it doesn't help healing directly but, it minimizes the damage done by the swelling and that helps the injury to heal faster. Ice is to be used the first 24 hours to help reduce swelling for all the reasons you have listed. After 24 hours the use of heat to promote healing has been...

I agree. There is valid scientific reasoning behind RICE and its red headed stepchild HIRICE. One study, or speculation of a study doesn't undue previous protocols. Personally I have used RICE and HIRICE very successfully not just on patients but even on myself. I will likely wait until I hear...

My contribution from the other post. :D The seats recline but I don't know if you would be able to use them for sleeping based upon your needs. And in the interest of full disclosure I removed my rear seat. I need the space for all my stuff. For most people the rear seat does fold down and that...

Thanks for the comment and the greenie.

Keep in mind that there is a higher than normal chance the that people we may need to help (in the wilderness context) are people that have had their heart stopped not by MI but instead by respiratory arrest from lightning strike or drowning. In both of those cases you must initiate standard CPR...

Thanks for the greenie. I appreciate it.

Thanks for the greenie and not surprised at all. ;)

Great. Glad you like it. It can be hard to find but the stuff you buy comes from trees too. :D
