LOL, I feel like I walked right into that one...the gun was loaded, just waiting for some wise guy to ask... but I am glad I did. With a shop full of helpful characters like that, I am surprised you ever bother leaving to do any real work... (well minus the guy in the chair, he reminds me all...

...following this along as I re-think a bit my own wannigan based folding table -held on securely at one end w flat nylon straps and a buckle. And a less than totally successful piano hinge like arrangement to keep the two sides in close proximity. Alan, could you either provide further...

good deal with the pics now! Thanks, I enjoyed them. Always fun to see someplace you've been seen through someone else's eye's (or camera lens)

good deal (minus the clowns at the put in) and a reminder of need for bug nets, extra tarps, more cordage...without it you would have been miserable. Keep the kid, he's got potential!

no photo's here either. No comment on the spam on the stick, but I have enjoyed pouch chicken and Knorrs spanish rice a few times, helps to have a steady hand on the seasoning.

Recently while camped up at Lake Durant a large and noisy drone flew over our site on two separate occasions, it was quite intrusive and the second pass over resulted in one of our group heading down the woods road to find the operator, while another guy shouted general threats in the direction...

Like a good piece of utility gear, a nicely made wannigan will see use year round. I have an old one, it sits by the basement stairs collecting bits of firewood and kindling for a rainy day fire, the rest of the year it might be car camping or working as a travelling tool box. I also use one...

I am a huge fan of reads on early European explorers tackling the vast wastelands of Canada prior to the mid 1800's. Folks like John Rae, "Fatal Passage", by Ken McGoogan. Or Samuel Herne or... I have used the thread on CT here, 'what are you reading' for many good finds seconded by folks...

Thats a neat tent for sure. But please don't complain about the weight until you have checked the specs or hefted the 10x10 size that I have or one of the larger ones. Insane. My biggest issue with the Kodiaks is they are not self supporting which is usually not a problem, but was once...

This sounds like a situation where the moderator might be inclined to step in before any blood is spilled or reputations ruined forever.

From the description, "Best uses: Canoeing and Boating" As if... Bigger problem is that someone who gets duped into buying one of these plastic turds could well be permanently turned off to small boating...'so this is what it's like to be canoeing, eh?!"

Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed your commentary and your pics. Do most stores now carry that new 'steak spice and dirt' seasoning to give the real authentic outdoor flavor!?

my new breakfast favorite is eggs (fresh or Ovaeasy) with mexican cheese and pre-cut veggies in a zip bag from home. Combined with this (to me, anyway, a reformed backpacker) remarkable find - To me, very tasty and exceeded expectations I had by 100%. We had two packages and it fed, w the...

Very impressive...true art. What designs have sold the most?

Glad that your friend found the CULVERT and not the DROP OFF shown in the other pics. The tiny bit of the Yukon I have seen from the highway, I really enjoyed and now find the 'look' of much of it to be more interesting to me than the endless scrub, alder, etc *of much of Alaska that I have...

Insulated Water Bottle. Ozark Trail Brand, 64 oz. Bought at WallyWorld. Not exactly transformative, since I have a couple other ones from different companies, well used, well liked for many camp chores, etc. Used mainly during my hard water travels and winter camping. Good quality, nice...

(Sorry to be so off-topic) Thanks. I remember scurvy being an issue too and then as food really ran out, there was more than a bit of 'creative consumption'* of dead sailors, evidenced by saw and cut marks on bones that were later found by other explorers and Inuit. As far as the spoilage of...

Offhand, would you know if this sailor(s) remains who was tested, was he from the group that died in the first year (like Franklin) or was he one of the long suffering survivors? The arrogance and ignorance of the officer corps of English navy was astonishing... one needs only to look at...

Too much gear? That is just a hypothetical question, you are not really serious are you...??? :eek:

Ricola!!! (cough drops)
