Fixed blade laws in Oregon?




rooney


I am planning a backpacking trip across the Oregon coast line and visiting some of the bigger city's like Portland and planning on carrying a large fixed blade. Is this illegal and am I likely to give crap from the local police?


Answer
The same as everywhere , pretty much.

Which means if you carry a dirk on your belt, you're an idiot.
"large fixed blade" in the city limits is just a way to go to jail.

See the problem with such things is many cops have been camping and they know such knives aren't a necessity when camping, but are just fetish items.


Stick it deep in your pack unless you intend to get jail time, just like your hatchet. They can't charge you for a concealed weapon, when it's impossible to claim it's readily available.

Where and what should i do for my honeymoon?




Jake


I am getting married in June. My fiance left the honeymoon planning up to me. I am saving up money but with bills and life being expensive. I will only be able to spend $2000 for the entire honeymoon. For our honeymoon I would like it to be at least 4 days long. A maxium of 12 hours away or closer. We love outdoors (camping, fishing, hunting, hiking) but also enjoy visting new cities. I'd also like to do something fun during this time she will never forget. Something out of the norm. That will really make this honeymoon amazing for her other then me ha ha. So any suggestions would be awesome.


Answer
Search your desires carefully. Are you really okay with a backpacking/camping honeymoon? Or do you expectâif only subconsciouslyâa luxury honeymoon with room service and only pleasant distractions?

For roughing it:
* Camp in SE Oregon, climb Steens Mountain, view the wild Kiger Mustang herd, soak in hot springs and rustic hot pools, wander the Hart Mountain Antelope Refuge, explore desolate Owyhee Canyon, drive/camp on Alvord Desert, hike in Oregon Badlands Wilderness (slightly east of Bend, on the way to/from SE Oregon). In June, it will be too early for backpacking in the Cascades.
* Hike the Oregon Coast Trail for a mix of nature and civilization. Restaurants, grocery, and motels are adequately distributed so you can rely on them most days. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oregon_Coast_Trail
* Rent a fire lookout from the Forest Service or BLM. Rustic accommodations, but with great views and surrounded by forest

For luxury:
* Rent a suite at Sunriver Lodge, Salishan, Timberline Lodge, Crater Lake Lodge, Tu Tu Ton Lodge (Rogue River), or a nice house at the coast. Outside Oregon, Skamania Lodge (in the gorge), Lake Quinalt Lodge in Olympic N.P., Deer Harbor Resort on Orcas Island, or Sooke Harbour House at the south tip of Vancouver Islandâawesome fresh foods.
* Hawaii, but June begins the busy and expensive season.
* I don't know if it can be reliably done for less than $2000, but luxury jungle or coastal accomodations, all inclusive, are available all over Central America: Belize, Honduran Islands like Roatan, and Mexico.
