I am one that believes birds in summer have adequate feed. They may need augmented feeding in the winter. Bears will seek out any sources of fat left near a human dwelling.
Plenty of riders that follow the continental divide or similar route. Kids off of some of the reservations often do long rides. Sometimes it makes the small town news but often it doesn't.
Look at the table in page 8 for starters. I once believed that bhn x 1475 equaled the pressure in psi you should target for the best ration of hardness to cartridge application. I have found that to focus on hardness while ignoring ductility, tensile strength and the ability to hold together as...
