SnailMail: Rubicon Dog
About this episode
A lively “snail mail” roundup tackles listener calls and texts, from a close-encounter bull elk photo and the absurdity of people approaching wildlife, to debates about locked-down big-box stores and the convenience of online pickup. The biggest discussion centers on public-land access: whether creators should pay reasonable fees/permits, how to prevent money grabs, and how to balance recreation with sustainable land management. Other segments include laser-cutting/wood-disc logistics, trail etiquette as an “ambassador,” and a quirky dog-in-a-truck “rub dog” cooler idea.
