Year: 2022

To me, 5.11 has always been a company you could count on to provide you with quality gear at a reasonable price. For many years I thought of them as more of a brand for the mall cop, gray men who love to post on the internet about how they recon their route for Black Friday at their local Dicks Sporting Goods. All jokes aside, my opinion of the company has recently peaked as I see them producing more niche items that are quite nice. One of the 5.11s mottos is that they provide purpose-built gear, and the purpose of today’s gear for this review is to make you sweat. While I certainly do not consider myself a cross-fitter or a member of the cult known as Orange Theory, I do enjoy a workout about once a day. When 5.11 asked me back in September if there

The federal government is once again making plans to reintroduce grizzly bears to Washington’s North Cascade Range. The United States Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Park Service announced in November that they would be initiating an Environmental Impact Statement to begin looking at options for restoring a grizzly population in the Pacific Northwest. They plan to do this by relocating bears from British Columbia and the Northern Continental Divide Ecosystem in Northwest Montana.   

“This is a first step toward bringing balance back to the ecosystem and restoring a piece of the Pacific Northwest’s natural and cultural heritage,” Don Striker, the superintendent of North Cascades National Park, said in a news release. “With the public’s help, we will evaluate a list of options to determine the best path forward.”

Not surprisingly, the public’s reaction to this announcement has been mixed. Some proponents have drawn comparisons between the North

Best practices for evaluating and transporting patients with potential spinal fractures or spinal cord injuries is a hot topic in emergency medicine. And it’s no wonder. All of us who work in the adventure programming and emergency medical services field fervently want to avoid causing or worsening a potentially catastrophic injury to someone’s spinal cord. 

As such, and for many decades, EMS officials dogmatically insisted that “immobilizing” patients with potential spine injuries was the best protection from further harm. Protocol demanded rigid backboards, cervical collars, head blocks, and yards of tape and straps to prevent someone who is injured from moving. However, new research suggests this is not only ineffective, but quite likely harmful.

Immobilization Dismissed as the Tool of Choice for Patient Transport 

Anyone suffering a spinal injury could have a spinal fracture. And that fracture could be unstable. So, if your client (i.e., patient in this case

There is an undeniable connection between the way you take care of yourself and how you show up for your community.

“Self-care” is a term we are hearing more often these days. It’s been a tough couple of years for most of us, and it has led to a reimagining of what we need to feel and perform at our best. Often this comes back to how we take care of ourselves, and that conversation is inspiring new practices.

Defining Self-Care

What does it mean to take care of yourself? What does it look like to take care of others? On a basic level, self-care is anything you do to meet your needs. Group care is the service and empathetic actions you and your group take to care for each other. It’s hard to have community care without self-care. And if you do, it’s probably unsustainable.

Creating a beautiful outdoor living space in your small yard can be challenging, but it doesn’t have to be impossible! By following some tried-and-true design tips, you can create outdoor living spaces that look and feel large.

Here are five tips to get you started

Use Walls Strategically

When designing outdoor living spaces for a small yard, it’s important to use walls strategically. You can use walls to create privacy, define different areas, and even add extra storage. Plus, using vertical space can help make a small yard feel larger.

Here are some tips on how to use walls when designing outdoor living spaces:

• Create your own private space with an evergreen hedge or bamboo screens that can be arranged in a number of ways depending on the amount of privacy you want.
• Add interest with containers overflowing with colorful flowers, lush succulents, or lively herbs; you’ll enjoy watching them

It’s hard to tell what was going through Brett Jatrinski’s mind when he pulled the trigger on a 4-year-old billy goat on Aug. 12, 2022, three days before Alaska’s draw-only mountain goat season opened. But one thought is particularly unlikely: that someone was hunkered down over 400 yards away, watching and filming him through a spotting scope.

That person was Ketchikan resident and mountain goat hunting guide Marvin McCloud. McCloud, 41, was out in the backcountry on Achilles Mountain scouting for an upcoming hunt at the time. A client would arrive in a few weeks with an elusive, highly sought-after mountain goat tag for the same area. (Just three draw tags and a single Governor’s tag are distributed for this draw-only district every season.) McCloud wanted to be ready to put him on a quality billy when the time came.

He found a few nice billies and filmed them for
