Nice pitch line, but those will only get you so far. Unfortunately, you can't go to the legislature with a half loaf of bread and expect everyone will be happily fed. You're going to have to bring a full loaf with peanut-butter and jelly. If you really want them to listen to you, bring coffee...

The Honeymoon Is Over Creag Nan Drochaid - I have summarized the proposal, as I understand it. 1. Establish a voluntary hiker card that would be valid for: Lifetime or until you require rescue – Cost TBD – available at vendor locations 6 months or until you require rescue – Cost TBD –...

As the SAR funding discussion continues to evolve, in the other thread, I’m sure the AMC issue will need to be resolved in that discussion. Obviously that discussion will need to be factual and on point. Using rhetoric like “aka Another Money Club” is a distraction from the issue at hand and...

Similar to other threads, these folks don't think like you and I. You've got to think like the 3 major players in this game. 1. The legislature – politicians don't think for themselves. They think what their constituents think. 2. The F&G Commission – good ol boys that are working for free...

Tim - Being a linear thinker isn't a bad thing. I hope you didn't take offense. I wasn't chiding you earlier. I was trying to shake your linear thinking. Trying to put this issue on a spreadsheet is like trying to get Rick Perry to list 3 things. Oops. :) I happen to be viewing this issue in...

Tim - You're a linear thinker, aren’t you? ;) What if funding wasn't the main issue. Would that create a paradigm shift for you?

Before your post I had scratched the SARs card from my list of possible solutions. Now it is on my short list. Thanks for your well informed posting. That’s what this thread needs. Hmmm – “SAR card until it's used” I'm going to have to chew on that one for a bit.

You've obviously done your homework If you don't mind, I'm going to summarize your proposal to make sure I understand it. 1. Establish a voluntary hiker card that would be valid for 1 year. The cost of this card TBD. The entire cost of this card, minus vendor and admin fees, would be put into...

Very persuasive. I'm unclear on a couple of things. 1. Would your proposal rescind the $1 fee now imposed on hunting, fishing and off road licenses or keep it? 2. Would your proposal rescind the recovery for negligence statute or keep it?

Peer has filed a lawsuit to obtain documentation that would shed light on whether this was a quid pro quo by Jon Jarvis as was his involvement in the Rainier scandal.

Creag Nan Drochaid - Consider the following comments. Although this is a popular concept, there is no evidence it is true. I suspect, in practice, that this would not be as much of an issue as some think. As a matter of law, what constitutes "negligence" in this context may be easily...

Interesting. It seems that Jon Jarvis’s hand is frequently seen near the cookie jar. Thanks for posting Brian

SB128 established a study committee to recommend funding sources for F&G. Final Report of the Study Committee - Time well spent :rolleyes: I couldn't find the Study Committee meeting minutes nor the F&G testimony. It's interesting to note that although this bill was originally proposed to...

No, that’s my aging eyesight. :( I made the correction. Thanks

Another possibility Reportedly, John O. Cobb and Capt. Rideout were the 2 best guides in the area during the Hitchcock survey hatched in 1869. Cobb's Stairs, the first ascent route on Carrigain, was named after their guide John O. Cobb. Could “The Captain”, a peak of lesser consequence, have...

Fish and Game Commission The legislature established the F&G Department under the F&G Commission. The Commission is comprised of 11 volunteer Commissioners appointed by the Governor and Council. One Commissioner represents each of the ten counties in the state and one Commissioner represents...

The NH F&G Department was created in 1935 The legislature mandated responsibility of SAR to the F&G in 1971 The legislature established a SAR fund with revenues from a $1 registration fee in 1989 F&G in collaboration with WMNF created Hikesafe in 2003 In 2010 the NH F&G budget = $32,134,000...

In 1999 the legislature passed a bill that allows for the recovery of response expenditures from individuals if, in the judgment of the court, such person recklessly or intentionally created a situation requiring an emergency response. A person's liability under this subdivision for response...

In 1989 the legislature proposed a bill that would allow the treasurer to transfer 200K from the general fund into the search and rescue fund in 1990 & 1991. This bill didn't make it through the legislative process. In 2005 the legislature proposed a bill that would require the treasure to...

For WMNF land management philosophies see their "Land and Resource Management Plan". Consider the following from the management plan of the WMNF. It appears there is no specific written management plan for invasive species within Wilderness Areas of the WMNF. Non-Native Invasive Species
