Holiday recipe: Venison camp stew
Why is this a holiday recipe? Because it feeds lots of people good food with little prep time, and is a great hearty warming dish for trans-solstice in the northern hemisphere. I’ve done this several times this month with venison shank and stew pieces from lower on each limb. Beef is a fine substitute. Bone…

Shut Down
I had to see for myself. Sadly, they were not joking around. I understand that with poaching and other shenanigans this is probably necessary, but it is nonetheless sad that one of the “essential functions” is keeping LE rangers on the job to keep people out. It’s easy for most Americans to go about their…

Things I’ve Seen

He got second in the World’s time trial by 5 seconds last September. He is hilarious. His parents are both legendary American cyclists, and…

Two things for the weekend
The Bombflow/whateverthey’recallingthemselves guys haven’t expanded out of their ‘yak porn style of composition, but you cannot fault them for lacking quality material. Watch the Stikine part of the latest episode for phenomenal footage. Also, this trip report from Universal Klister makes for quality coffee accompaniment.

Satisfaction
We may not have any direct evidence of Fishers in the park yet, but a camera Nate and I set up last month did net a cool find. Here’s me testing that site. One of the more enjoyable aspects of this years Fisher project, even more than the wolverine work last winter, has been going…
