It may have gotten worse since you were there. I can't speak to their endangered species status but I tend to agree with you. The last I read, CA wanted to SPEND money to HIRE mountain lion control-agents/trappers vs SELLING tags and MAKING MONEY by selling them to hunters. It's just...

Which concentrates don't have the petroleum? I go through a ton of this stuff. Would love to just mix up a batch. Sawyer gets pricey.

I am a fan of Monaco and then Baku.

Let's put it this way, if I had known he was there (5 min from my office), I'd have done dip and pack from RSA in 2023 instead of letting the outfitter do it. Wish I knew. For the extra $500-$600 it is probably worth his level of quality and detail.

I can't say anymore than this. Agree completely. I live in NJ which is tick central. I believe we have the highest lyme's disease numbers in the country. Sawyer is all you need. Don't soak in the permethrin concentrate stuff. It's got a horrible oil smell. It's not the same as sawyer. Haven't...

I work in finance and the discretionary spending is what gets most people. What's worse is discretionary debt, especially in this rate environment.

Nothing to see here either

Yeah nothing to see here.

I think they're all dangerous, that's the bottom line. One thing people forget is the Central American lions don't live in the terrain that we associate them with here. They live in the mountains there but also the lowland jungles and savannas. Changes their behavior a bit. The same could be...

For sure. Agree completely. Very densely populated country and probably why there is issues. I have a buddy who moved to Santa Cruz, CA. He sent me a video the other day of a lion roaming the streets of San Francisco. CA is going to "FAFO" really soon with their garbage management program for...

The leopard maulings you normally hear of are a wounded cat. Jaguar seem to be confined to the far remote places in the jungles and lowlands. The one that seems to have a bad attitude is the Indian leopards. There are more than a few videos of mountain lions stalking hunters. One of them, the...

Yes I am. I can try and find the specific piece from the archaeologist who was asking the natives. The particular tribe he spoke to regarded them as more bad-tempered. Maybe it's because the jaguar are more nocturnal? I am not sure. I've been in jaguar and leopard country. Ironically, never...

They are far more of a risk than leopards, jaguars, and other similar big cats. The natives in Central America regard the jaguar as not too big a risk. They ask them about "puma" and they are terrified. Them folding with a well placed shot is just a consolation really. I am still not convinced...

Saw a puff adder in RSA (which is another thing to watch out for) but no mambas. One of the guys in our group did and they said it was terrifying. 6' long and slithered away, thankfully, at a speed you can't even imagine. Combine that with the fact that they can stand, and move, on only like 50%...

That's all great, and I am happy but: https://www.doi.gov/pressreleases/interior-advances-revisions-oil-and-gas-leasing-and-waste-prevention-rules-support And we still have $6.60 diesel. So where are we really going here?
