    Plantar Fasciitis

    For PF stretch and roll both you feet and you calves. It has been my experience that the issue is tied more to tight and inflamed calves causing trickle down problems than it is tied just to your feet. Ive got a blue hard foam ball that works the calves better than the cylinder rollers. Find a...

    Public gun range issues

    Quite a disturbing thread. I’ve been happy with both the range masters and the other shooters at Blacks Creek near Boise. I’m always tempted to buy some steel and find a place on BLM to shoot at extended ranges, but I also never want to be the guy starting fires once things dry out and that...

    6.5 prc Tikka build

    Looks good. definitely interested to see the process and the finished product. Any mag length concerns with 6.5 PRC in a Tikka? Once or twice a year I get a bug to buy a shouldered barrel or Switchlug setup and play around with one of the Sherman wildcats, but I can never quite pull the...

    More public land advocates - trail running.

    As a runner I'm glad to see the organization starting. I'd much rather be arguing about tree hugging vs Teddy Roosevelt conservation while standing on our public land than crying about who was right from outside a private owners fence. We'll see where they go but they have my support.

    Sheep Hunting covered in New York Times (Positive article for hunters)

    Until I took an interest in hunting, I was completely ignorant regarding conservation fundings dependence on sportsmen and women rather than general funds. It's great that the wealthy are willing to pay a for conservation but not I'd rather see them doing it because the cause is just rather...

    Selling Public LandHR 621 and 622: Do We All Agree that Jason Chaffetz is a Coward?

    It should be noted that the Tea Party was driven into power using these same angry populace techniques. While I strongly feel that public land is a bipartisan issue, I also think that if Chaffez is worried that a large block of voters want him out of office over his leadership on ethics...

    Idaho Senate Bill 1065 requires sale of state land

    So this gets wonderful bill gets a print hearing, but when the majority of sportsmen and women support paying more out of pocket for conservation, that bill goes straight to the garbage can? The controlling party's priorities are clearer not aligned with us.

    Simpson voted 'Yea', too.

    Public Involvement in Land Use Planning Under Attack

    Assuming HJ Res 44 is referring to the same thing, it looks like the motion to kill public input is up for discussion tomorrow. From Simpson e-blast: "TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 7TH On Tuesday, the House will meet at 10:00 a.m. for morning hour and 12:00 p.m. for legislative business. H.J.Res. 44 -...

    Supporting businesses who support us....

    As a new hunter gearing up for my first big game season, I'm hoping to also vote the public lands issue with my wallet. Does anyone know of Boise area outdoor retailers that support public lands? Shopping at Cabelas is convenient, but I haven't seen them speak out on the issue, and I'd like...

    Letter from Senator Mike Crapo on Selling My Public Lands

    I recieved the same response from Otter. My concern is that I feel the term local stakeholders is often going to translate into local special interests or powerbrokers. I've noticed that on social issues or even things like paper vs plastic bags, the same folk that spout local governance...

    Here's a nice response from a US Senator

    I recieved a slightly mixed response from ID Sen. Crapo. While he says that he wants public land to remain public, and sites the need for all stakeholders to have a voice (which I support on almost every issue), his language also leaves quite a bit of wiggle room regarding who will ultimately...

    Opportunity for Action in Idaho: SnakeOil Salesman from UT Has a Bill Sponsor IDLeg

    He wasn't rude to me and I tried to be polite in exchange. If anything he seemed confused as to why people were calling him to accuse him of promoting lands transfer efforts, while at the same time unable to clearly articulate what he was really promoting. At least in my mind, a change to our...

    Opportunity for Action in Idaho: SnakeOil Salesman from UT Has a Bill Sponsor IDLeg

    I had a little chat with him this afternoon. Apparently "my group" is misinformed. He is pro public land. He has always been pro public land. He only wants to amend the federal constitution to stop government regulation. What regulation? Well, that's a bit less clear. It seems the EPA is...

    Headlamp

    I know Randy likes having a red/green option, but for pure headlamp light your way use, I really like the Petzl Nao. Very bright for navigation, comfortable (I run in the dark quite a bit), rechargeable but will run on a very dim mode for quite a sometime even when empty (I have other headlamps...

    log splitter

    I've got a wood heat only cabin. It's weekend/vacation use only, but we'll still go through quite a bit of wood over a week long Christmas/New Years stay in single degree temps. I've been more than happy with a Council tool 8 lb maul for splitting and a boy's axe to cut down smaller kindling...

    State of Utah sells Land

    These small parcel closures scare me as much or more than big land blocks. I truly believe that the country would be up in arms if the entire state of UT or ID was sold to away from under us, but putting up a private perimeter strip does it just the same. We'll be left to window shop our...

    Happy New Year from a new ID hunter

    Sawtooth, thanks. I joined BHA late last year, but besides sending them my money, I need to do a bit more to get up to speed on the specific efforts and issues underway here in Idaho. I first saw the Sawtooths 18 years ago and it was a magical place to visit, but it wasn't in my mental...

    Happy New Year from a new ID hunter

    Greetings from SW Idaho. I grew up in a non-hunting suburban Illinios household, but I've always loved the outdoors and have been increasingly interested in learning to hunt. I've bungled after birds and been successful with some small game, but after reading through all of the great 2016...
