Hello readers.  Here is another survival news point from Mr. Jon.  As you all know, I'm one for safety, especially wildlife safety in the wild.  With that said, here's another story of yet another bear attack, this time in the Anchorage area in Alaska. On Sunday, 8/14/2022, a hiker was out on the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail near Point Woronzof.  This is a hiking trail that goes along the coast (as the name implies, near the airport.  You would think since its so close to an airport it wouldn't be a bear problem. Alas, this particular hiker was sadly mistaken.  With it being mid August, we are well into late Salmon runs, which most bear in southeastern Alaska thrive on.  It's a known food source for everyone, human and bear alike.   The report doesn't say any further details on the attack, aside from it being a hiker, the trail, and its a black bear. Bear attack reported along coastal trail (msn.com) Now, funny coincidence that I was just readi...

Good afternoon and welcome to another entry to Friday Night Fights.   Friday Night Fights is where I make a blog post about some kind of conflict that bothers me in some way, shape or form.  This Friday, I'm going to write about a very sensitive topic to most, and share my thoughts and feelings on the matter as a Father, a Male, and a Human. This topic is Abortion in the United States . Now before you bounce off my blog and attempt to cancel-culture / blacklist my ass for all eternity, here me out. I have no problem in this for multiple reasons, as described below. ------------------------------------------------------------- First, I don't know ALL of the nitty, gritty, super-finite, detailed points about the legal aspects of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade.  What I understand is that the SHIFT OF AUTHORITY has moved from the FEDERAL level to the STATE level.  It isn't 100% canceled altogether, the SHIFT OF AUTHORITY has changed.

It has happened again, as it happens every year.  An "experienced" outdoorsman goes out into the backcountry, has an encounter with a bear, and the outdoorsman gets seriously injured and/or killed as the result. Here is the MSN link:   MSN Link - Bear Attack In my opinion, this fall 100% in the category of Darwinism - survival of the fittest - along with the Idiot Award of the Week category #sarcasm.  What is known is very little, and what is unknown is a lot.  This is what bothers me the most about this scenario. This all falls on safety while out in the woods.  With that said, here are some things that you can learn from this man's folly so that you don't end up bear food. 1.  RECON YOUR AREA.   If you are going out into the woods, especially the backcountry (off trail, miles from people, etc.), then do some research before you go.  Recon is more than just "looking around an area."   ** Investigate the area via the internet....

 Hello and welcome to another edition of Random Word.  This time, the random word is Observe.  I will define it, and then discuss how the word applies to Tabletop Gaming, Fishing, and 3D Printing. Observe defined by Merriam-Webster has several 'definitions', two of which jump out in the context of our subject: **  to watch carefully especially with attention to details or behavior for the purpose of arriving at a judgment **  to conform one's action or practice to (something, such as a law, rite, or condition)  :  comply with Definition Link How this applies to tabletop gaming comes in two-fold.  The first is best described by the second of the above definitions - conforming or complying with actions/practices, namely the rules of the tabletop game in question.   This "complying with rules of the game" has been mistrusted over the last decade or so.  With the evolution of Games Workshop and Wizards of the Coast, and all of their res...

Recently, i read a few articles about truckers protesting in the Midwest, Cali, and other big "trucker ports."  Truckers park at the pump, refuse to move, and/or the company they work for refusing to support the trucking.  So this Friday Night Fight Blog Post, im gonna ramble on about the trucker strikes vs the larger agenda.  Disclaimer is this might come off a bit conspiracy theorist and condescending. Here's one of many links.  I encourage you to Google more:   Trucker's Haven ------------------------------------------------------- Logistics is one of the main arteries of anything, second to the backbone of communication.  Grounds shipping has been more effective weight-to-distance-to-fuel consumption than most other ways, like flying.  This is why overnight air costs far more than standard ground when you ship something via FedEx. There's a big agenda push by the Feds, POTUS, and the corporate backers behind said government to stop using fos...

 This week on Friday Night Fights, I bring to you a new swing in the ever growing battle between the Federal Government's attempt over control over all VS States and the management of their land and resources.  This time around, it is Federal Government Vs. Subsistence Fishing and Hunting in Alaska. The US Department of the Interior Melissa Schwarts prepared a statement where (i'm summarizing this) she accused the ADFG of allowing subsistence fishing of the Kuskokwim river, which is part of the Yukon River Systems, which is in violation of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act Title 8.  Her reasoning is because of PREDICTED low numbers of Chum and Chinook salmon that now require limited openings to federally qualified rural residents. In other words......  control. The area in question is home to several different villages where subsistence fishing is a way of life and engrained into these villages, and their peoples' cultures for many generations....
