    Tariffs may increase cost of Chinese-made outdoor gear

    Isn't the purpose for the big flotation area on the front is that you're more prone to turn on to your back.....hence your face is up instead of down....? I'd think thats a good thing........coronaboy... hi Mike...Conk

    An open letter to the group

    I have purchased a custom measured paddle from Mark thru the midwest canoe symposium and it's of the finest craftsmanship. However, I have had a few chuckles about seeing Kim renounce this site repeatedly , alas to come back and contribute.... there's no doubt about her ability and experiences...

My trailer is a mid-weight capacity one with a 1750 lb. load capacity with 13 inch tires and unless I removed a leaf spring or 2, I wouldn't even think of...

    Coleman Sportster Stove

    I keep my almost 40 yr. old Peak 1 in a cyndrical tupperwear container that is perfectly sized for it. Most likely, the bin was for sugar or something similar. I really like iso-butane stuff, but in colder times, white gas is great. I have a couple MSR stoves, but they don't simmer like the...

    Recommendations for fixed blade knife

    For much more than a few years, there was a good gathering of people who met at and around Allegheny Reservoir just south of the NY border. Jim was a big part of that.
