I meant to put these up last month but I don’t know where the time goes. That said I’ve had these probably close to 40 years, longer for the Filson pair. The waist is 32”. First up is the Filson the legs are un hemmed and they have never been worn. The next up are from Woolrich. And the...

I’ve worked with someone that made a strip boat then used that to make a female mold once that was tested she had me finish off the stripper so she could sell it. Jim

Many people drill a small hole in one of the wings on the nut and attach a lanyard of a bright color. I’m about to do that to mine. Jim

You are welcome Snapper. Jim

I found this video about the development of the Sven saw. I thought it was interesting. I thought I had two but when I just dug them out I found out one is an imposter. The imposter failed to tension the blade and the handle is too short to hold outside the frame. I do like the saw but...

When I bought my Hornbeck I was concerned about this too. But despite being directly over the transponder it has no effect. On a related issue there is now a scam going around that involves ez-pass, I’ve gotten it twice. It claims your transponder wasn’t working when you went through a toll...

I have no problem sharing my location. At 72 a lot can happen so I think it is important. Plus she enjoyed seeing where we were in the BWCA. I think it pinged every 4 hours to save battery life so she didn’t see the nuances. Jim
