Have you browsed a MEC store (Mountain Equip Coop)? A 4 or 6 person tent from them would be a good starting point, bug and rain proof. A 4 man has enough floor space for a full (double) air mattress, or room to spare for 2 inflatable backpacking pads, but may not have enough room to full...

This Eldorado dispersed camping handout has that 1 vehicle length rule http://www.fs.fed.us/r5/eldorado/documents/rogs/rog_pickspot.pdf http://www.fs.fed.us/r5/eldorado/recreation/travel/index.shtml

Who is reading the regs this way, the FS or some locals? Just about those lines about firewood gathering and big game retrieval is a section about dispersed camping As to Mormons pulling hand carts, I suspect that is covered in this QA from the FS

It appears that the rule in dispute is...

so futile attempt was made to protect the birds at the nesting sites, which in the case of many birds is when they are most vulnerable. Even more so, kill birds while nesting wipes out the next generation. Now many off shore nesting sites are off limits to humans. Few humans take salmon at...

Note that even paved highways are subject to regulations on how they affect rivers and fish. Here's a Washington highway (north of Darrington) that will be moved away from the river, to reduce ongoing maintenance costs and harm to fish by those maintenance actions (i.e. repairing and armoring...

It is probably wrong to say E&E is a trade magazine of the energy industry. It is on the border line between trade journal and academic, but by and large its content is determined by the choices of its principal editor, Sonja Boehmer-Christiansen. It is the journal of choice for climate skeptics.

Are you making that bet based on a gamblers hunch, or actual data? How do you know that the problem is insufficient stock moving beyond the river mouth, as opposed to poor conditions in the spawning grounds? You appear to have chosen to blame one group of humans - fishermen, and exonerate...

I saw on an Oregon Field Guide (PBS) program than an older logging practice created a different problem in rivers. Using rivers to transport logs, tended to scour the river banks and bed, both by the passage of logs and by actions meant enhance the carrying capacity. In places obstructions...

At least in the PNW, there are few water crossings - roads nearly always use bridges or culverts. Roads also use culverts to drain water from the upside of the road to the down. These culverts are a major problem on unmaintained roads. They clog; water backs up, and then forces its way over...

These bad activities, trimming, cooking, forging, should not be confused with normal scientific data handling. Data has to be examined for errors, which often show up as outliers. Equipment can break down, or get of out adjustment. Extraneous events, separate from the phenomena being studied...

What exactly do you mean by 'regulate the mud'? How is that different from regulating human activities that generate it in harmful quantities and ecologically sensitive places? Back in the California gold rush days, hydraulic mining released tons of sediment that flooded onto farm lands in the...

While there are research faculty that depend entirely on grants for their salary, teaching faculty get most of their pay for their teaching activity. Grants pay the stipends for grad students, post docs, travel, and equipment. Yes, seeking grants does take time, but I doubt if it reduces the...

You don't need to replace the whole zipper if just the slider was damaged. Usually are replacement can be put back on, though it may require removing and replace one or more of the stops at the end of the track. Some sporting goods stores sell replacements, as to fabric shops. My store of...

The rain gutter mounts (e.g. the original Yakima version) are meant to rest in a groove like the raingutters on older cars. The weight rests on padded 'feet' that fit in the groove. There is a clamp that fits around the outside of the gutter, holding it in place. I don't think those brackets...

What's the difference between "an armed resistance against the government", and 'Insurrections' that the Congress is required to suppress?

What proportion of gun caused deaths occurred in the course of criminal activities (burglary, assault, etc), or where the victim and assailant were strangers? Those are, what most of us, would classify as criminals killing law abiding citizens. A quick view of some FBI tables leads me to...

What would have happened in the USA (and Canada) if Japanese Americans (and their sympathetic neighbors) had resisted with guns their internment? Or didn't the 2A apply to them? Most Americans approved of this violation of the 5A, though a later generation apologized for it. The Whiskey...

I don't see the connection between keeping the government fearful of gun owners (self appointed vigilantes?), and the 2nd A's 'well regulated militia'.
