One of the primary concerns the further you get from relatively quick access to emergency response teams is that actions that are completely acceptable at home become iffy at best in remote areas. What might be a somewhat painful inconvenience at home such as a severe ankle sprain could be life...

For my part I have a few axes, a 26" Estwing "large" camp axe in particular, that have helped dozens of scouts and more than a few adults learn axe-craft but I get really cautious about who uses my better axes. My usual policy is to saw to length and split as needed including variations of the...

I'm coming late to this party but will likely be in the market for a light double blade paddle soon. I have a custom Kevlar/carbon hybrid Epic Kayaks paddle that, like all Epic paddles has 10CM of built in length adjustment that is 235 CM when fully extended. It has fairly large blades...

I wear my long tunic length leather welding cost that is normally reserved for overhead welding when I cut non-ferrous metal on the table saw. And safety goggles. And a face mask.

I like the way you cut out the shelf. When you aid you had removed the full shelf I wondered how you would do it. Lance

Hey, I don't know about ever making them commercially but I am making a template for the end panels and one for the top and bottom panels (which are identical, too) so i can zip them out with "fine cut" consumables on the plasma cutter I have on back order. The kerf with that setup is almost...

To follow up on post #57; the skewers came in a few days ago. They have the advertised fancy pants washer thingies to push the food off and there is a flattened spot on the skewer to keep them from coming off. It seems an altogether ingenious solution to a non existent problem. And although...

I had a couple odd small items show up a year or so ago from another site. I suspect it was the same thing.

They're good folks who can work voodoo within the Amazon system. If you have something more than the routine return of a defective or in accurately advertised item they will really "go the distance" to make things right. Lance

Hey! Let's all channel our inner Elmer Fudd! "Shhh....Be vewy careful.....We're heating Royalex"

Colleagues, If you ordered the Solo Stoves yesterday when the price was $89.99 you should have gotten two stoves with pots. Apparently there was a typo as the price today is $189.99...... But if you get one stove with pot...... I ordered two orders of the "Set of 2 kits" for a total of four...

Nope..... but I will. Thanks, Alan Lance EDIT: And it worked. Thanks again, Alan.

Nice find! I found a Dagger Reflection outside Greensboro last year that still had the Royalex sticker on it but it had been left upside down outside next to a big pond for years during the summer and was pretty faded. And it was pretty well crusted in died pine sap. If memory serves I only...

Hmm.. Sound suspiciously like a package of two pounds of umm...organic agricultural products my oldest brother sent another brother in around 1970 with a return address of 123 High Times Lane.... You could smell that box from five or six feet away. Lance

Thank Mem It's unwatchable on my screen. I use a 17" laptop which is, of course, a wide screen layout and the header on the page, which can't be deleted, takes up over half the screen. That kind of sticky header is more and more common and makes many sites pretty painful. In this case it...

Colleagues, some of us have Solo Stove "twig stoves" and I for one like mine a lot. Right now there's an Amazon.com ad for two Solo Stove Titans (the mid-size stove) with two 2L pots for $89.99 USD. That's a good bit less than the one stove with pot usually sell for. The pot and stove usually...

The winner of the custom reflector oven in the 2021 drawing was Sweetfancymoses. He and I talked a while ago and one change I told him I think I'll make going forward is to get some long stainless steel skewers and use them for the shelf as they can do double duty around the campfire. I...

Hmm... OK, I know it's an older thread but since the winner of the reflector oven is looking here for ideas I scanned the thread and realized I didn't post the results of the venison roast last March. My bad. So... Yes, they're biscuits from a tube. I hadn't planned on making them but on the...

D Grimm has contacted me. Hopefully we'll be talking soon so he can tell me just what he's looking for in a reflector oven...... Best regards to all, Lance

Thanks, Dave Congratulations to all the winners and thank you to all the donors of both $$ and prizes. D Grimm, please hit me with a private message with your contact info so we can figure out what kind and size of reflector oven I'm making..... Best regards to all, Lance
