Ryan Nickum was a 20-year-old college athlete with a passion for brutal tackles and body checks. He had yet to grow out of the angst and rebelliousness of his teenage years. Socializing involved cases of Coors, rehashing high school exploits and running from the cops. He wasn't exactly prime recruitment material for Earth First. Spring break of his sophomore year, Nickum and his best friend Woodchuck were too broke for Cancun's party scene and opted instead to join a band of radical environmentalist organizing a tree sit in Southern Oregon. There are many ways to stumble into activism. Maybe some people just shouldn't read the Monkey Wrench Gang.

- Beansprout, they didn't think you were a narc, they thought you were FBI. FBI provacateurs have gotten EF to bomb a high tension tower in Arizona with dynamite and some other things, and their leader Judi Bari was either murdered or died when her own bomb when off, depending on who you believe. Just walking in out of the blue and suggesting they commit crimes would be a sure way to scare them. You should not have taken it so personally.
