Lunch counter menu from the mid 70s
 
I put a saw into my leg once finding some bob war. Fortunately not much blood but it was a long hike to the stick shift truck and another long drive to the ER. Chaps were on the way the next week.
I'm getting too old to play with a saw.
Been lucky all this time and thinking about selling all of them.
I'll keep one some form of electric.
Carry with me in case something needs cut to get back into or more importantly back out of the woods.

Ah hahhaha… yup!

My first wife was a Blackhawk pilot. She was pretty good. Great hands and knew her helicopter inside and out. But she could barely handle the stress of Army life. Made me wonder if she could fly with the brains of her copilot on her and blood sloshing around on the floor. Or get back in the bird with the goo still fresh.

Looks like good times up on the pass today.
I don't think most people that live in Central Oregon realizes that every mouth full of food and every drop of gasoline is trucked over 2 passes in the Cascades.

Well don’t forget the ports at Portland. Or Astoria. Or the main warehouses in Portland and Eugene. BEK and Sysco a few other food service distributors have massive depots too. While the PNW is easy to isolate it has a lot stored.
 
When teaching at a small public school, way out in the country, we were privileged to get instruction from a qualified State Police Instructor about what to do in case of a mass shooting event in our school.

So, when the school policy came out, the policy was to get our students beneath their desks hide (and presumably wait to get shot)

I choose the State Police instructors directions rather than the school policy. That can best be described in the meme shown below

If I heard shots, I was going to get my students out the back window and run them to the woods behind the school. The police said (and I beleive them) a running student is much harder to hit than a student cowering under an open desk. (And I knew, I could hide and protect them much better in the big woods than in a classroom.).

Best part of all, never had to worry. No mass shootings, we were in the country right. Our kids knew what to do.

I told my kids to get out and run.

There is no fuel pipeline to central Oregon.
Every drop of fuel is trucked from the the pipeline terminus in Eugene over the 58.

By central Oregon you mean the area from Bend to Burns. I get it now. I have observed fuel trucks headed west out of Idaho the few times I was in the area. But that is some rough remote country. Nothing will get done there when a winter storm comes in.

Men and women can both succeed and fail under stress; I know guys that couldn't handle the above scenario either. You don't know until she is tested. And people react to different stresses are differently; I personally believe most of our reaction to challenging events is due to our socialization. One thing I will give you is that women are fairly uniformly the physically weaker sex. It's easy to be more misogynistic these days because white males are in fact getting a bad rap as part of the globalist agenda; (that means their plan is working). They are trying to divide races against each other and sexes against each other so they don't team up against them.

Much of what my family eats was raised/grown on our farm or picked up during hunting season.

All day every day at the convention industry right up until the point the company had to start Implementing the safety protocols required under the threat of severe penalty fines by OSHA.
Safety lady the company hired was so.
" HOT "
Didn't mind receiving a severe and frequent "scolding" and "tongue lashing" from her.
Managers without laughing, thought it was funny.
Life is a hiring hall Teamster in Las Vegas was fun.

Agree 100%. I trained with women who were phenomenal at force protection roles and observation. And climbed with some who were pound for pound the best athletes I ever met. And heard of some legendary operators. And seen some pretty stout dudes fall apart. You just never know who will shine. As for my ex, she realized she loved flying, but not the rest and got out.
