that axe looks interesting, but I'm always a bit skeptical of reviewers that claim an axe stayed razor sharp after 2hrs of use, unless of course they were slicing tofu on a cork cutting board... I'm perfectly content with my gb scandi, it you succumb to a moment of weakness and buy one of them...

canotrouge, I agree a good axe or hatchet is must have for any remote outing, which is why I always have one. I also agree if you could only have one tool a hatchet or small axe would be preferred over a knife for sure. An axe can do what a large knife can do, but a large knife can't do what an...

my name is eric and I'm a recovering alcoholic with a cutting tool problem, that also fishes and hunts too much... :) So generally I will have several knives with me, both on my person and scattered about my kit depending on the trip and mission afield. At the bare minimum I will have a...

wow, awesome family outing. I bet those kids will never forget the experience and hopefully continue to have more in the coming seasons. Not enough kids really know where meat comes from these days. Great to see them willingly involved in the process.

That's why I carry titanium plates and utensils, heat them up in the fire for a few minutes. Not glowing red, but hot enough to kill anything I need to be concerned with. Discolors them a bit but otherwise no worse for wear. You'll never get sterile out in the wild, but a rinse and heat...

am i the only one that reads the posts before commenting? :) "As fer cleaning I rinse everything in the water and use a small piece of soft scrub if need be to get the crusty stuff. If I happen to have a little camp soap I'll use that, but generally just water and some sand from the shoreline...

I'm a consumptive user of the outdoors. I want to to eat fresh fish and game while out in the wilderness. So i'm either grilling over an open fire or pan frying something I just caught or killed. I'll have backup meals in case the catching and kiilling is going as planned, but generally the...

Haven't been around much and just saw this, exceptional and informative to say the least, exponential congratulations is well deserved here. Looking forward to the in water tests too. - eric

raccoons aren't bad eating roasted over an open fire so the fat can drip out, esp when doused liberally with hot everglades seasoning and chased with a cold beer or aged whiskey. Carcass parts make for good shark and jewfish bait soaked over night on a hand line tied off on a mangrove branch...

Its not inexpensive but I've consistently had very good results with 3m products. I use the perfect-it line of polishes on all my boats and vehicles. The light cut gel-coat formula should buff out 1200-1500 level finish...

If you really wanted to salvage it I would lay up a backing plate a few inches over sized to cover the tear, maybe 4-6 layers of glass or carbon/kevlar and pop rivet it on the inside. Then cover with another layer or 3 of cloth on the outside with g/flex to fair the tear and seal the rivets.

YC, the public area of goose pasture is closed for camping until further notice. If you have 6 or more people you can still use the group area. http://www.mysuwanneeriver.com/index.aspx?NID=64 (bottom of page under Important Notices) Flooding was bad in late Dec. I was hunting several of the...

"Dang, deerfly. You are good! We both had our own camera. Kathleen had a Minolta, and shot Fuji Velvia. We liked how it captured the blues of water. Not many people would be able to recognize the original film of a scanned slide. Are you a professional photographer?" lol, its like porn, you...

wow, another epic episode. Photography is fantastic. Some of those look like fuji velvia slides to my eye, beautiful colors and contrast.

grand adventure, wonderfully told and great photography. I feel like I know everybody up there. I really enjoy the non-hunter perspective and all the little details you expound on too. As a hunter I revel in and appreciate a lot what you see and feel, but not to extent that I can name flora and...

looking forward to the rest of this too

Mike, I think this is the stuff you're looking for: http://sandblastingabrasives.com/hexagonal-boron-nitride-powder-order-page-781.html You can google around with the material name or even just hbn and find more uses as a friction reducer. Its touted by some as a better alternative to graphite...

Agree with this, small wheel gun has some advantages over semi-auto, primarily simplicity and fail safe. Will shoot well under water too. Could come in handy if you tip near hungry alligators. :) S&W and Taurus have some nice choices too.

couldn't agree more, which is why I kill them every chance I get...

I hear these wild hog encounters and believe them of course, but this sort of thing has not been my experience after a lot of years hunting feral hogs. Maybe that boar being somewhat "citified" and never hunted nurtured some unusual aggression to actually attack a person. Being a mostly Fl...
