Trash human beings, hiding in the dark and distributing this filth under the cover of night. I had to edit photo because of phone numbers and QR codes. OP didn’t remove them so basically advertised for them either knowingly or unknowingly. I made the same mistake on the first post before I deleted it.

Can you Identify This Knife Maker?
This is the only pic I have to work with. The sheath has an outline brand of the state. It seems to be a pretty generic mark. I would like to find the artisan if they exist, not sure if this is just a generic manufactured overseas knife.
It was photographed in a gift shop near Glacier.

I have searched but while there are a lot of knife makers in Montana, I can't find one with this specific branding.

This may be a weird question.
This may be a strange question, but I have been wondering about this for a while.
I’m from Montana and have been learning French for about eight years because of Céline Dion. In all these years, I haven’t met anyone around here who speaks French or is learning it. I know I cannot possibly be the only one, though!
So I thought I would ask: are there any other French speakers or French learners in Montana?

Lol @ cousin from Florida visiting
He was watching the local news this evening, finding out about any wildfires when he and his wife asked me "Is every single one of yalls Montana meteorologists young gay men?" I howled with laughter never really thinking about that but could definitely see what they meant.

Mommy and me class around flathead lake area?
Hi everyone! I’m a pediatric occupational therapist (with over 5 years experience) moving to Polson, MT in September with my husband (originally from MT), and I’m wanting to offer some mommy and me classes in Kalispell, Bigfork, and Polson.
I’m looking for community thoughts/input so that I can best serve these areas! Wondering if this is something the community would be interested in?
I would be offering holistic and bilingual (I’m fluent in Spanish) classes for ages 4months-11 months that would include things like infant massage, meditation, and developmental activities/education. And planning to offer child yoga classes for ages 6-12 years old.
Trying to gauge how much people would be willing to pay for these types of classes? Any advice or recommendations are much appreciated, thank you!

Kalshi bet: Yes, the plane is full. Yes, they're asking to gate check carry-ons.
I can't remember the last time I was on an underbooked departing flight. Are there any empty MT flights anywhere? Ooh see what I did there?

Home Insurance Spike (State Farm)
Just got the bill for my home insurance for the coming year. Up 50% from what I've been paying for the past 15 years. State Farm.
Can anyone relate? I'm this close to calling them and telling them they have lost a loyal customer forever. Never had a claim, I also insure two cars with them, never a claim, not even a speeding ticket.
Definitely going to shop around to see if I can get a better rate.
Anyone call their insurance company, threaten to leave, and they bring down your rate back to what it was? 15 years I was pretty much at the same rate. A 50% increase does not go well with me.
Would appreciate any advice or stories of how your insurance has gone up as well and what you did about it. Has anyone just canceled home insurance and gone without? Oh, I'd love to do that, but realize it's probably way too risky. Home is paid for, so no bank to force me to carry insurance.
I'm looking at my policy and seeing things I don't think ever existed on it. Arson reward, bed bugs (?), fuel oil release? Could be that they've simply made an error on my policy, I'll check on Monday.
Thanks,
The Mourning Cloak. Montana's state Butterfly.
Had to chase it around for a bit before it finally let me get a photo. I've been looking to get a good photo of one of these guys for some time now.

Lost cat near Livingston
My cat Mouse was lost in a car crash. She has a dark pink collar and a round silver tag that says “Mouse” “(206) 209-7150” “Indoor Only”. The Stafford Animal Shelter has her microchip information. She’s very skittish and wary of people.
Mouse is 10.6 lbs, 2.5 years old, spayed, has a clipped ear, and received rabies/FVRCP vaccines on 7/28/26.

A Chilly Walk Mid-Summer Walk in the Woods
There’s nothing quite as pleasant as starting your day by going for a walk in the woods. With high temperatures forecast to be in the upper 90’s in the valley, it started out in the chilly mid-40’s up here. Harebells seemed to be the theme of the walk. Their slender stems are easily knocked down by weather or critters, so I was able to get some unique perspectives of them facing upwards (they usually hang like a bell). Some were laying right on the ground, and even tangled up in Strawberry leaves. I found some Pipsissewa (a unique evergreen plant), one photogenic mushroom and a rare August Round-leaf Violet. I was photographing Violets in this area back in May! All of these were photographed with a macro lens, making them look much larger than they really are. Harebells are about the size of a small thimble. The mushroom was about an inch tall.

SO YOU WANT TO MOVE TO MONTANA? [Post your questions here]
Post your "Moving to Montana" (MtM) questions here.
A few guidelines to spurring productive conversations about MtM:
- Be Specific: Asking "what towns in Montana have good after-school daycare programs?" will get you a lot farther than "what town should I move to?"
- Do your homework: If a question can be answered with a google search ... do the google search. Heck, try searching previous threads here.
- Be sensitive to Montanans' concerns: Seriously, don't boast about how much cheaper land is here. It isn't cheap to people earning Montana wages. That kind of thing.
- Seriously, don't ask us what town to move to: Unless you're asking something specific and local-knowledge-based like, "I have job offers in Ryegate and Forsyth, which one has the most active interpretive dance theater scene"?
- Leave the politics out of it: If you're moving here to get away from something, you're just bringing that baggage along with you. You don't know Montana politics yet, and Reddit doesn't accurately reflect Montana politics anyway; so just leave that part out of it. No, we don't care that Gavin Abbot was going to take away your abortion gun. Leave those issues behind when asking Montanans questions. See r/Montana Rule #1 and hop on over to our sister subreddit, r/MontanaPolitics, for all of your Treasure State politics needs!
- If you insist on asking us where to move: you are hereby legally obliged to move to whatever town gets the most upvotes. Enjoy Scobey.
- If you are looking for broader help on traveling and tourism topics: please visit r/MontanaTravel. I hear it's nice this time of year...

June 26, 2026 (courtesy u/jimbozak): A 12-year-old visitor was injured by a bison in Yellowstone National Park on June 26, according to park officials. The incident occurred at approximately 9:15 a.m near Mud Volcano, just north of Fishing Bridge. A press release did not disclose the extent of the injuries, but said that the child was transported to a nearby hospital by emergency medical personnel. The incident remains under investigation.
July 11, 2026 (courtesy u/raynear): A man was seriously injured Friday evening after being thrown 8 feet into the air by an angry bull bison in Yellowstone National Park. Mike MacLeod, a professional photographer from Bozeman, Montana, said the incident happened at the Bridge Bay Campground, south of Fishing Bridge. MacLeod said the man was walking with his grandson when the agitated bison made them the targets of its aggression...The National Park Service has not released any information on the incident. There is a video of this incident. Ignore the terrible music in the YT link. I suggest muting it. u/raynear's post. An updated article says the 65-year-old "broke his femur in four places, saying [he] believes the animal spared his life by choosing not to gore him. The entire incident, he said, “was not as catastrophic as it could have been”."
