This week on The Bend, your hosts Rebecca "Beck" Wanner and Jeff "Tigger" Earhart are back with a packed episode!
First, we hope everyone had a fantastic Fourth of July! Did you know Americans consumed an estimated 150 million hot dogs and 375 million hamburgers on Independence Day? Beck and Tigger share their secrets to the perfect camping smash burger, including a surprising seasoning tip and the key to a super-hot griddle.
Next, a critical "Heads Up to Hunters!" We discuss a cautionary tale of a Missouri hunter who faced hefty fines and lost hunting privileges after illegally shooting a protected mountain lion. Remember to always know your state's regulations before pulling the trigger, and be aware of research-tagged animals!
Then, we dive into Part 2 of our dog training series, addressing your questions from the field. We explore how to correct a dog's misbehavior without using their name negatively, emphasizing the power of the "growl" and why it's so effective. Plus, we discuss the importance of patience, respect, and why training yourself is often more important than training your dog.
Finally, stay weather aware! This summer has seen a significant increase in tornado activity across the nation. We break down the statistics for 2025 so far and share vital tips for staying safe while camping, including asking about storm shelters at your campsite and understanding the wind resistance of tents and RVs.
