If you are familiar with google maps you can actually download an area on the map and use navigation offline.

Not only that but with Boeing and other Hi Tech manufacturing being in the region that has had a huge effect on the UW over the years.

Thank you. A friend recommended I keep an impact wrench in the car as well for flats. I’m still looking into options for mapping my location without cell service. I’ve lived in a city most of my life so I’m just trying to prepare. Much prefer being in nature more! Thanks again

Everyone calls it Wazzu. It's been that for as long as I can remember and I'm 63.

I'm sitting next to my buddy who adopted me at a shelter 12 years ago. It has been wonderful.
Highly recommended.

That is absolutely false, a ton of Cougs call it Wazzu and we even had a football game this year where they put “Wazzu” in script on the side of our helmets. There was an attempt by administration a while back to shed the name but it’s been fully embraced at this point.

Don't go into any areas marked as private property.
Always have toilet paper, wet wipes, and water in your vehicle.
Always have a first aid kit in your car.
Make sure you know how to change a flat tire with your spare. Make sure you have the proper tools to change a flat tire. (Not likely, but wouldn't hurt).
If you can, map stuff ahead of time while you are connected to the Internet and for safe measure, have an analog map in your car.
Make sure all your fluids are full, if you can, before you go exploring.

Okay? You can do whatever you want. I don’t care. Breed them, walk them, I don’t care. And now you’re putting words into my mouth. See my comment above and read the stats. Cry me a river.

I'm petting my pit bull right now, rubbing his belly about to give him treats. Then I'll walk him later, IN PUBLIC.
By the way, there are 4 million domestic pit bulls in the US. So how do you get a "majority of 4 million are killers" from that stat? Can't wait to hear it.

I don’t care about what you think. There are academic articles that prove my point. You can feel however you want.

As a pit bull owner, the day that a pit bull hater is triggered on reddit is a good day.

No one calls it Wazzu anymore
Edit: Gotta love getting downvoted by alumni who haven't been to Pullman since Bill Doba was coach lmao. If any of you ever come back to Pullman, call the university "Wazzu" and see what reaction you get from the people who live and work there. It's nothing but nostalgia for a bygone era, and alumni living on the west side apparently never got the message.

If you find yourself entering a new area and hear suspenseful music, depart at once with haste.

It's an awful place. Don't move there. No fun, no food, no activities, no schools, no beauty. Don't move there.

All animal behavorists say you gotta treat each dog as an individual. Unfortunately, right now pits are the most abused dogs in the world. Before it was german shepherds, dobermans, rotties, etc. Every John Wick wannabe "tough guy" gets one for protection.

If I didn't have my current rescue pug and had a yard, I'd be all over Chica Roo. I have a soft spot for bulldogs.

I honestly can't say whether nature or nurture is the cause of the statistics, but even when you cheese is and break pit bulls up into multiple breeds and reclassify them as mixes, the Numbers are simply overwhelming. If that's nature, we need to strictly enforce spaying and neutering legally prior to any adoption. If that's nurture, then we need to restrict adoption to specifically certified individuals who can prove they can handle the needs of the breed. I'm in favor of both, as a start. I think the humane decision would be to phase them out as a breed through enforced spaying and neutering. And automatically put down any dog that threatens a human, immediately.
