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

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.

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.

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.
