Remember folks in the #PNW Bears are just starting to get back into the swing of things. They may be making bad choices right now as they start to look for food. Make sure you're not on the menu. Make lots of noise on trails and keep pets on leash on public trails as always.

Just want to say, I had a trail cam that probably got water in its housing this winter and the people at trailcampro.com are taking care of it. It's really nice that there are still companies that honor warranties and do the right thing! Thanks TCPro!

So I’m sure a lot of people will just be confused when I tell them I found a real coup for mycology hobbyists everywhere. It’s not a choice edible, nor is it magical or medicinal. I fou…

The Last of the PNW Big Predators

In the PNW rain signals the starting of new seasons and the retreat of others. It also might just be a freak fluke giving you a false sense of transition. #PNW #Homesteading #OlympicPeninsula
When the Rain Sets In
When you're in the part of the PNW that we live in, rain's going to come. In fact, it's going to be a season. When you live this close to a temperate rain forest it's just part of life. That means a f...
