Clare County Fire and Rescue Service is appealing to residents and landowners of uplands parts of the county to exercise extreme caution amid a high fire risk. The Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine has put a Condition Orange notice in place nationwide until 6pm on Saturday. The notice warning applies to all areas but especially those where there's live vegetation that could catch fire such as dead grasses, heather and gorse. Clare Senior Assistant Chief Fire Officer Cormac Falvey has been telling Clare FM's Seán Lyons any forest fire is "very difficult" to extinguish in conditions like these.

You can tell when a brand comes from real skateboarding, not a trend report. We're hanging with Jesse Farrell from Upland Clothing, a Jacksonville, Florida creator who started with DIY screen printing and turned it into a serious streetwear brand with a clean look, a strong point of view, and the kind of work ethic that doesn't need hype to survive. We talk about learning to skate in small town Callahan, building style through limitation, and why “making it for yourself first” is still the best product strategy in skate culture. Jesse breaks down the practical side of building a clothing company today: how social media drives discovery, why networking is just showing up and following through, and what he learned from doing a week long New York pop up shop after noticing real demand outside Florida. We get into seasonal drops, collaborations, content plans like day in the life videos, and the long term goal of opening a storefront that makes sense for the brand, not just the hometown. Then we zoom out into the personal side: staying healthy, sobriety and coping, and how identity politics and media noise can distract people from what actually moves their lives forward. If you care about streetwear, e-commerce, Shopify, skateboarding stories, and building something from scratch without waiting for permission, this one is for you. Subscribe, share this with a friend who's building, and leave a review with the city you think Upland should pop up in next.

399 Disclosure Day TMNT Pizza Ocarina Remake Management RegretDoom Scrolling IntroThe Foos are one episode away from 400, and while a big blowout special is still a “real big maybe,” they take a moment to acknowledge the milestone and the long, weird road to getting there.They recap a productive weekend, including house chores and a trip to LA to see Sparta open for Local H opening for The Toadies at the Belasco. Joe nerds out over Sparta's At the Drive-In connection, Local H's two-piece setup that somehow sounds like a full band, and The Toadies delivering plenty from the Possum Kingdom era. Also: a drunk guy in the pit goes way harder than the songs require.This week's Florida story features a fugitive accused of stealing crab legs from Winn-Dixie, then allegedly hiding inside an air conditioner air handler behind ductwork while his girlfriend hides in a closet. Because in Florida, seafood theft apparently turns you into HVAC.Geeking Out starts with Steven Spielberg's new alien thriller Disclosure Day, which opened big and brings Spielberg back into the alien-movie conversation. The Foos talk practical creativity versus AI, including Emily Blunt reportedly creating her alien clicking voice herself instead of using AI.Then it's food and nostalgia: the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles pizzeria is opening in Santa Monica on June 20, fully decked out with cartoon-style décor, merch, neon turtle faces, and a pizza pickup counter designed like the front of the Turtle Van. They also shout out 50 Burger in Upland as a legit local smash burger spot.Nintendo drops a nostalgia bomb with a Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time remake planned for 2026, plus Switch/Switch 2 news and more from Nintendo Direct.

They also remind listeners that Doug Brody's Shelley: Our Evolution is coming out June 19, and Steph is already deep into the book.Here's What I Would Do gets unusually existential:Michael (Irvine) got the management promotion he worked toward for years, but now misses the hands-on work he actually enjoyed.Rachel (Pasadena) isn't sure whether she wants kids, because both versions of the future — parenthood or child-free life — seem like they could be happy, and choosing one means letting go of the other.ChaptersDoom Scrolling IntroIntroOne episode away from 400 + possible milestone episodeBelasco recap Sparta Local H ToadiesDrunk pit energy during songs that did not need itFlorida fugitive steals crab legs hides in air conditionerGeeking Out Spielberg alien thriller Disclosure DayEmily Blunt practical alien voice vs AITMNT pizzeria opening in Santa Monica June 2050 Burger Upland smash burger shoutoutNintendo Direct Ocarina of Time remake nostalgia bombLanterns HBO Max True Detective superhero vibeMy Adventures with Superman Reign of Superman seasonLarry David historical comedy series previewLogitech MobiFold foldable portable mouseDoug Brody Shelley Our Evolution June 19Here's What I Would Do Promotion regret Michael IrvineHere's What I Would Do Deciding whether to have kids Rachel PasadenaOutro + Doom Scrolling Outro

Concerns have been raised that new agri-environment schemes will require such a steep drop in the numbers of grazing livestock that 90% of Dartmoor ponies will be lost. We're talking about upland farming all this week, and this morning we hear how the phasing out of the old EU farm payments are affecting English hill farmers, with two generations of a Lake District farming family.It's twenty years ago this summer that a group of farmers put their heads together and decided to set aside a particular day when they'd all open up their farms to the general public. It was a fairly radical idea at the time, driven by a desire to address the disconnect between urban populations and farming, and inspired by a similar project in Denmark. That was the very first Open Farm Sunday which is celebrating its 20th anniversary this weekend.Presented by Caz Graham and produced by Beatrice Fenton.

John Laux is the Permanent Habitat Protection Manager at Pheasants Forever & Quail Forever. John & Travis discuss recent news in the upland world, USFWS to open up 92 million acres of land to public hunting, a new PF land acquisition in MN, a Farm Bill update, PATH program updates and optimism for more acres, a once-in-a-lifetime hunting opportunity creates more habitat in ND, more Build a Wildlife Area properties coming soon, General CRP vs Continuous CRP signup, dream hunts, and a whole lot more.

A judgement from the High Court yesterday ruled that the Food Standards Agency has been 'unlawfully' charging abattoirs too much and that it wasn't transparent enough about what it was charging for. The ruling comes after a legal challenge by the Association of Independent Meat Suppliers.Developers of small-scale hydro-energy projects say the industry's missing out on investment because of a heavy focus on wind and solar. Scotland in particular has long been a pioneer of cheap hydro-electricity, but companies say the current contracts to supply power are squeezing them out of the market. All week we're hearing about the current challenges facing upland farmers right across the UK and how they're dealing with them. Farming in the hills can be an isolated, even lonely, business. But a group of farmers scattered across the uplands of Shropshire have joined forces to pool ideas.Presented by Caz Graham and produced by Beatrice Fenton.With thanks to British Pathé Archive.

A new report says there should be plenty of opportunities for young people to take up training and jobs in land-based work - but there's a 'skills squeeze'. The study by Lantra, a charity which provides training and qualifications in land-based industries, says jobs are available but not being filled.All week we're taking a closer look at upland farming across the UK. In Wales more than half the country is classed as uplands, from dramatic mountain ranges and blanket bogs to rolling heathland and moors. Unlike England, farmers still receive a basic payment from the Welsh government, though it's being phased out, to be replaced with the Sustainable Farming Scheme, which came in this year. We speak to a hill farmer in Ogmore Vale.It's the fourth year of the Future Countryside Conference, which brings together a wide selection of leaders in farming, conservation and rural issues. It's being held at the Raby Estate in County Durham. This year, it's asking the question “How can we win support for a growing and recovering countryside?” We catch up with one of the organisers.Presenter = Anna Hill Producer = Rebecca Rooney

The latest analysis of wildfires shows that last year the UK recorded its highest burned area on record, including the country's first documented ‘megafire' in Scotland, that's a fire which covers more than 10,000 hectares. Researchers from the University of East Anglia led a team of international scientists looking into last year's fires round the globe, they say wildfires are getting more extreme, costly and disastrous. Though less land was affected, globally the fires resulted in more than 300,000 evacuations and the deaths of more than 90 people. .A three million pound project backed by DEFRA which has been looking at how methane emissions can be reduced in sheep has announced its findings. Various breeds from Scotland to the South Coast were tested as part of the research which gathered data from thirteen and a half thousand lambs. The scientists involved in the “Breed for Change” programme hope sheep farmers will use their data to reduce their carbon footprint.All week we're focusing on farming in the uplands, places above a thousand feet, landscapes like the Brecon Beacons, the Peak District, and the Highlands: many of the most stunning places in the country, but because of their geography they're generally harder places to farm. MPs on the Environment Food and Rural Affairs Committee are preparing a report on the challenges facing upland farmers in England and how the Government can best support them. It follows the publication of the Land Use Framework, which identified upland areas as places which could be most suitable for delivering climate and nature targets.Presenter = Charlotte Smith Producer = Rebecca Rooney

Ryan Lynton, host of The Upland Social Podcast, joins Reid to talk about his journey into upland hunting as an adult-onset hunter from Indiana.Ryan Lynton, host of The Upland Social Podcast, joins Reid to talk about his journey into upland hunting as an adult-onset hunter from Indiana. He covers early experiences with elk and rabbits, the dog that got him into birds, and how he's using his platforms to build community and advance conservation.

In this episode of The Birdshot Podcast, host Nick Larson sits down with Todd Bumgardner, founder of Pack Mule Training Co., for a deep dive into physical preparation for the uplands. They discuss the shift from extreme "murder yourself" workouts to a philosophy of long-term consistency, focusing on how small, frictionless habits can pay massive dividends come September. Todd brings nearly 20 years of experience training hunters and elite military units to help upland hunters move better, stay resilient, and extend their longevity in the field. I've been following these principles for three years now, and the biggest change for me wasn't some fancy new gear—it was realizing that consistency is the most important variable. I used to tolerate sore shoulders and heavy legs during those first few grouse hunts, but by keeping a simple routine and rucking year-round, those opening-day miles now feel like a breeze. Todd and I dig into the "why" behind Zone 2 cardio, the efficiency of the 20% body weight ruck, and how to outsmart your own willpower by making your training environment frictionless. Expect to Learn: Why consistency over a long period is the ultimate driver for progress in the field. The "environmental design" trick of putting your gear in your way to reduce startup friction. How to use the 3-mile rucking assessment to establish your baseline aerobic fitness. Why Zone 2 training acts as your "recovery system" for handling back-to-back hunting days. The technical benefits of the Zercher squat for hunters looking to protect their spine while building strength. A simple one-minute mobility routine you can do every morning while your coffee is brewing.

395 Clayface Horror Movie Maul Shadow Lord AniMay Free Comic Book DayDoom Scrolling IntroSteph opens with a wild work moment: getting called a “fat bitch” by a frustrated patient during physical therapy — and somehow holding it together professionally while dying laughing internally. The Foos ease into the weekend recap with drinks (Steph's whiskey-limoncello highball, Joe's Michelob Ultra “carb watch” era), a Shoelace Express show at Pro5 in Upland, and Joe accidentally driving to the wrong Eureka because he didn't realize there's more than one.Then the Florida chaos arrives: a woman allegedly trashes a Subway over peppers on her mobile order — knocking equipment around, throwing trays, and earning herself an arrest for criminal mischief. Florida, never change.Geeking Out starts with DC going full horror: Clayface is getting a biological horror-thriller treatment, leaning hard into the actor-turned-monster origin and the “this is not a superhero movie” vibe. They talk why Batman villains can be more interesting when Batman isn't even in the story, and take a quick shot at Sony's villain-movie track record (with Venom being the best of the bunch).Star Wars Maul Shadow Lord continues heating up, with episodes dropping in pairs and the finale landing on May 4 for Star Wars Day. The Foos debate Maul vs Vader, who's scarier vs who's more interesting to watch, and even who has the better skincare routine (spoiler: Vader's face is not winning any awards).Then anime gets its own month: Crunchyroll turns May into AniMay with watch parties, award tie-ins, theater events, and big headliners like Chainsaw Man the Movie and Re:Zero content — followed by the eternal question: who has a Crunchyroll login they can borrow?They also dig into a Magic: The Gathering resurgence (Vegas buy/sell events, collabs like Spider-Man and Avengers, and whether they should start playing again), plus hype for the new Mortal Kombat movie and favorite characters.Before signing off, Steph drops a genuinely useful heads-up: Free Comic Book Day is Saturday, May 2 — 24 free titles across publishers, perfect for newcomers to sample different vibes. She highlights a few standouts and brings up AWA's Telepaths — which is getting an Apple adaptation called Liminal starring Vanessa Kirby and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II.Sports makes a brief, chaotic comeback too: MLB glove break-in methods, including steaming… and one player straight-up microwaving his glove for two minutes.ChaptersDoom Scrolling IntroIntroSteph gets called a fat bitch at work and survives professionallyDrinks highball limoncello + Michelob Ultra carb watchShoelace Express show at Pro5 Upland + Eureka wrong locationFlorida woman trashes Subway over sandwich peppersGeeking Out Clayface turns Batman villain into horror thrillerBatman villains more interesting without BatmanMaul Shadow Lord schedule finale on May 4Vader vs Maul villain debate + skincare routine jokeAniMay Crunchyroll anime month watch parties Chainsaw Man ReZeroMagic the Gathering comeback Vegas event collabs Spider Man AvengersMortal Kombat hype favorite charactersFree Comic Book Day May 2 titles to grabAWA Telepaths Apple adaptation Liminal Vanessa Kirby Yahya Abdul Mateen IISports MLB glove break in steaming and microwavingOutro + Doom Scrolling OutroClayface, DC horror movie, Maul Shadow Lord, Darth Maul, Darth Vader, AniMay, Crunchyroll, Chainsaw Man movie, ReZero, Magic the Gathering, Mortal Kombat movie, Free Comic Book Day, AWA Telepaths, Liminal, Vanessa Kirby, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Ontario, Upland, Shoelace Express

Tackled by 6 Cops During Meth Psychosis with Marley May | The Hopeaholics PodcastOn this episode of the Hopeaholics Podcast, Marley May shares her powerful story of growing up around addiction, losing her father to suicide at 13, and spiraling into substance abuse as a teenager—including drinking at 14, using cocaine and meth with family members, and experiencing full-blown psychosis. She opens up about trauma, toxic environments, hitting emotional bottoms, and the moment she finally chose sobriety at 21. Now married, a mother, and active in recovery, Marley talks about young people in sobriety, finding fellowship, overcoming shame, and building a life she never thought was possible. This is a raw, honest conversation about generational addiction, accountability, faith, service, and the daily work it takes to stay sober and break the cycle. Marley also reflects on blaming others for her addiction, learning to take responsibility through the steps, and how recovery transformed her relationships. She shares what it's like navigating sobriety as a young mom and why community became her saving grace. If you've ever struggled with feeling like the “odd one out,” battled self-doubt, or questioned whether real change is possible, this episode will remind you that no one is too far gone for a new beginning.#thehopeaholics  #redemption #recovery #AlcoholAddiction #AddictionRecovery #wedorecover #SobrietyJourney #MyStory #Hope #wedorecover #treatmentcenter #natalieevamarieJoin our patreon to get access to an EXTRA EPISODE every week of ‘Off the Record', exclusive content, a thriving recovery community, and opportunities to be featured on the podcast. https://patreon.com/TheHopeaholics Go to www.Wolfpak.com today and support our sponsors.

In this engaging campfire conversation, Larry Weishuhn sits down with Rick Lambert at Baker Bottoms to talk quail hunting traditions, shotgun preferences, habitat conservation, and a lifetime passion for the outdoors. Rick shares highlights from his recent experience at the historic Grand National Quail Hunt in Enid, Oklahoma, discussing the camaraderie, competition, and conservation focus that make the event special. The conversation expands into broader reflections on declining quail populations, the importance of habitat management, and the evolution of firearms and ammunition. Blending storytelling, technical insight, and classic outdoor nostalgia, this episode celebrates the heritage of upland hunting and the people working to preserve it. Rick recounts being invited to the long-running hunt dating back to the 1940s. Event combines: Two days of hunting Four days of fellowship and fundraising Strong emphasis on habitat preservation and conservation. Rick's team won both the trap shoot and quail competition. Takeaway: The hunt is as much about relationships and conservation as it is about shooting. Larry and Rick discuss the troubling decline of quail populations, especially in Texas. Key factors discussed: Habitat destruction (especially fence line clearing) Disease pressures (including eye worm issues) Changes in land management practices Rick emphasizes: “You cannot destroy the habitat of anything.” Both hosts reflect nostalgically on hearing bobwhite whistles in their youth versus today's scarcity. Rick describes himself as a traditional double-barrel enthusiast. His preferences: Strong love for side-by-side and over-under shotguns Favors sub-gauges, especially the 28 gauge Appreciates wood and steel over synthetic materials Believes .410 is often too challenging for beginners Notable insight: “If you call yourself a shot, you can kill anything with a sub-gauge that you can with a 12 gauge.” Rick shares how his views evolved over time: Early resistance to polymer pistols like Glock Eventually adopted them after seeing their practical advantages Still emotionally prefers traditional firearms This segment provides a thoughtful look at balancing tradition with modern performance. The conversation shifts into lever-action rifles and classic hunting arms. Discussed favorites: Savage 99 (especially in .300 Savage) Marlin rifles (post-Ruger acquisition quality improvements) Browning BLR Ruger No. 1 Rick shares a lifelong dream tied to the Savage 99 and traditional deer camps in the Northeast. Both men stress responsible hunting: Know your personal limits first Know your firearm's limits second Avoid wounding game Practice at distance to improve close-range precision Larry explains that long-range practice is about building confidence for ethical shots inside 100 yards. Rick reflects on future hunting goals: Considering bird hunting trips to Scotland or Sweden Has hunted Africa, New Zealand, Canada, and Mexico Plans to focus more on wing shooting as he ages Memorable line: “At 75 I'm going to start shooting feathers because I love shotgunning.” This episode delivers classic campfire storytelling mixed with practical hunting wisdom. It will especially resonate with: Upland bird hunters Shotgun traditionalists Conservation-minded outdoorsmen Fans of classic firearms The conversation reinforces that great hunting is about heritage, habitat, and the people you share camp with. “Most firearms have more character than we do as shooters.” Learn More: DSC Foundation: dscf.org Dallas Safari Club: biggame.org Learn more about your ad choices.

Ted's story begins in Trail — steel town grit, river valley air, small-town backbone.Raised in the Kootenays, Ted carried that work ethic west to Vancouver, graduating from UBC, and deciding school wasn't for him, he worked as a doorman and later as an arborist. Hard jobs. Outside jobs. Jobs that keep a man moving.He found the love of his life in his late 30s. That's important. Some men rush it. Ted didn't. When he found her, he went all in.And then came the dogs.Not casual pet ownership. Obsession. Bird dogs. Trialing dogs. Training days that turned into full seasons. Upland fields, early frost, heart pounding at the flush. Life was busy. Full. Loud in the best way.Somewhere in there, fly fishing grabbed him. And when it did, it didn't let go.Ted started spending every spare minute around the lakes near Kamloops — stillwater country. Long casts. Chironomids. Watching the wind ripple across glassy mornings.The best advice he ever received?“If you can't cast further, move your boat.”Simple. Tactical. But also philosophical.When the distance won't close — adjust your position.The Move That Changed EverythingAfter retirement, Ted and his wife moved to Alberta to be closer to their daughter. A hopeful move. A family move.Shortly after arriving, his wife was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer.Life stopped.For four years, Ted drove her to chemo. Sat in hospital rooms. Lived in waiting areas. The river disappeared. The dogs went quiet. The boat stayed parked.Everything paused.After she passed, the house felt different. The days stretched longer.And then something shifted.Ted found a group of men. Found community again. And he found the river.Standing in current on the Bow River, something came back online. Not instantly. Not dramatically. But steadily.The Bow gave him rhythm again. Walking local streams gave him breath again.Fly fishing didn't erase grief. It gave it somewhere to go.What Ted Believes NowAt 74, Ted doesn't sugarcoat it.Life is not guaranteed.His advice is direct:“Don't wait. If you can retire — retire. Go live your life.”Not reckless. Not impulsive.Intentional.Move the boat.If something isn't working — change position. Change perspective. Change seasons. But don't sit still waiting for perfect conditions.Because perfect conditions don't exist.This episode isn't about tragedy.It's about a man who loved deeply. Worked hard. Lost greatly. And walked back into the river anyway.And that's the kind of story that matters.

Start the year with a training reset that actually fits real life. We lay out a practical vision for 2026: less bashing between camps, more education, and a class model built for consistency. Instead of forcing rigid rules that fall apart on hard weeks, we show how to meet owners where they are, build trust, and add tools later when it makes sense. The throughline is sustainability—habits you'll keep because they're simple, fair, and aligned with how you live.We break down why variety matters and how a gym-style schedule keeps both dogs and humans engaged. Reactivity classes focus on early interruption and neutrality, obedience sessions sharpen markers and play, detection taps into real nosework, and guided pack hikes bring nature back into the routine. You'll hear how small, repeatable skills—shuffle back, pay, reset—turn panic into a plan, and why those reps create calm confidence faster than any quick fix.We also take on the myth that a flat, silent dog is a well-trained dog. Training shouldn't crush personality. By channeling drive, rewarding curiosity, and teaching clean off-switch behavior, you can keep your dog's spark while gaining real control. That balance is where owners rediscover joy: an off-leash hike in the morning, a cafe settle at lunch, crisp heel work at class, and a happy dog who still lights up for play.Under it all is community. Weekly sessions turn effort into a habit, reduce isolation for reactive dog owners, and lift everyone's standards. We're building a space in Upland, east of LA, where people feel seen and dogs get the outlets they deserve. If you want training that lasts beyond a boot camp and a dog who stays fully alive, this one's for you. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review with your top training goal for 2026.Visit us on the website here to see what we've got going on and how you can join our pack of good dogs and owners.
