Re: The Great Outdoors
Holy shit!
A 2018 report indicated that the phylogenetic diversity of 300 mammalian species erased during the human era since the Late Pleistocene would require 5 to 7 million years to recover.[14]

Hardly Donald Trump's fault. (or maybe it is)?

Or if your solution is, let’s cut emissions standards and open up wilderness to more oil and gas drilling!
Re: The Great Outdoors
Face it guys, in the grand scale of everything is it really gonna matter? You know like millions of years?

Re: The Great Outdoors
if that’s you’re argument...ANARCHY, RAPE, MURDER
none of it really matters, in the grand scheme, so why not?

I was thinking about a trip to Isle Royale for this summer. I’m probably too late to get passage.
You can see Canada from Isle Royale (7 miles, I think), so the “imported” wolves is not that big of deal. They are trying to get genetic diversity on the island. The moose and wolves at Isle Royals are literally your textbook example of predator-prey relationships that you studied in bio.
Parvovirus from stupid boaters dog (probably Texans) nearly killed all the wolves. We also keep the Lake Superior boating lanes open 365 days of the year, so even years when it was cold enough to create an ice bridge to allow new wolves in, we prevented that. So eventually the genetic pool dwindled.
I’ve been there in a spring when starved moose carcuses are prevalent. Gross.

Disgusting. What's next, dogs and cats fornicating in the streets?

Squeezing in a 2 day float and camp the next couple days!
What’s everyone’s favorite hot breakfast that’s quick and easy to prepare?
I enjoy bacon and eggs and hash browns and Dutch oven cobbler as much as the next guy, but this time the focus is getting back out on the river rather than hang around camp all morning...

Re: The Great Outdoors
thanks guys. I just put my traveling companion in charge of breakfast tomorrow.
also, I'm packing up in the driveway when a wildlife officer walks by. Apparently my neighbor had a bear trying to get into his garage last night, so he shot it and wounded it. They're releasing a team of hounds in the neighborhood trying to find it so they can put it down.

Re: The Great Outdoors
I dunno.
Wildlife officer said the bear was like fucking with the guy's dogs or something.
(I almost made a joke about how the guy must've feared for his life cuz it was a black bear, but I'll save that for another thread)
