Garlic I'm pretty sure literally evaporates

They could at least staple a receipt to it

Taking a break from projection feels so good. No more getting mad at every BMW driver on the road. I never liked the advice: if somebody's being an asshole "imagine they are running super late or have an emergency"... but that's a projection too! Drop both [wrong] projections and it's peace 😌

I'm guessing it's closer to 95%. But I also don't have a spreadsheet to share.

i've never seen a woman in a sundress look hot on bluesky

60% though?

Glad you're bears looking out for the bears, a keystone species important for salmon re-introduction

Nice, are you able to install an AOP?

What are you thinking about for restoration?

@aoc.bsky.social really curious, could you share your thoughts ok supporting Tribal mills to help process the timber coming from the national wildfire crisis priority landscapes?

Just because you wear a Stetson and you say you were made in 'sconsin doesn't me your country and Western. But baby if you can walk the line, I'll let you take me home tonight, wearing nothing but your bolo tie 😏

Oh that'd be tempting

Yeah, I'd love to see more support, not so much control, for private stewardship and safety. Our town just shot down a measure from the city to make the whole city "historic". Basically to prevent development. But also requires architect approval for any mods including fire safe improvements.

Hey thank you for doing this by the way. Surreal to think you've read some of the wildest issues that I can think of.

There has been some remarkable progress recently emenating from fed. Would also love to see some of these issues taken on at scale but emergently from communities, tribes, etc.

Fire behaviors so rowdy. Like just down the road we're untouched homes with completely burned to the ground homes in between

If we can support tribal mills...

Huge bottleneck for timber processing from priority landscape forest health and fuels process is mill capacity. SPI monopoly raging strong

They've got it on a huge display up at the end of the gunflint. https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/d4b33ed3b81f466eb27bb97a9b8f4d48

Yeah, this chart blew me away.

I don't think anythings gotten better. Like pretty sure it's 100% hands off. I volunteered to clear a trail in the winter and we did it with dogs and hand saws. It was great, but we got through like 3 big trees. It's not a feasible way to manage

Hehe it's been interesting going from northern MN to the sierra. Like the fire issue and risk is off the charts here. But yeah the BWCA is so tough since it's designated wilderness. Fuels operations basically can't occur.

use and provide solid income for generations and lower lumber prices for home building in CA. These are long term forest health projects not massive clear cuts. They're happening at scale and should continue indefinitely, reducing boom and bust risk for investment and communities

There have been some tribal mills brought online recently and biochar/energy facilities which is awesome and has been a life saver for some of our harvests. Seriously, if we could support tribal mills, it would be huge! Help responsibly manage forests and fuels and put the wood to honerable

Oh! A huge issue in the Sierra is mill capacity. SPI has effectively monopolized the lumber market and shut so many mills down. With these huge landscape projects occurring, we don't know what to do with the wood coming out! I joke that we should at least truck it into Yucca for carbon capture.

If you are in the area, the Chippewa National Forest could use some help, largely an HR thing, but they also could use a new forest plan and and and. The history with the Leech Lake Band has been... tense. But there's been progress. Recently hired a DR from LLBO

Hey hey, actually just moved away from grand rapids. The history of the Chip and the Ojibwa and leech lake band is insane.

NV is so public dominated bc homesteads were really only viable outside large valleys with perrenial streams, most of which immediately go subsurface after they leave the confines of the valley, and they are so spread out that homestead clusters were rare and couldnt form into towns.

Some of the most remote wilderness areas. Excellent hunting: antelope, mule deer, big horn, elk even. Hot springs, black rock desert, exceptional overlanding. Also the wildest homesteads tucked into or just outside of perrenial valleys way the hell out there.

It's mostly rangeland with permitees grazing sometimes up to 200,000 acre allotments. The patterned white spaces are FS owned, actually the Humboldt toiyabe is the biggest national forest. Not much merchanable timber though lol, so it's mostly grazing mgmt still.

Nevada public lands are so cool

I can fill you I'm if you're interested!
