Honestly, the worst part is when the "right" setting changes with a new bag of beans. You think you've finally won the war, then it's back to square one.

Our building's freight elevator door has been sticking for three years now.

Honestly, I get the feeling but is it really that bad? Things change, that's just how it goes. Those fancy trailers are probably way safer and easier on the horses. The old ways were hard work for a reason, because they weren't always the best way. It's okay for stuff to get better and easier.

That ranger gave you solid advice. I've done the High Sierra Trail three times and always use a bear canister, even for one night. The bears at Bearpaw Meadow are basically professional thieves at this point. A can is the only thing they haven't figured out how to beat.

Tension gets everyone. Glad you found that video.
