I’m a bit more than half way through The Gales Of November, about the sinking of the Edmond Fitzgerald and what it was like to be in the shipping business on the Great Lakes. Jim

interesting idea there for a quick lunch setup. Jim

I’ve used the single long pole the most, as it gives plenty of headroom. High enough to cook under. I’m baking some sort of desert most likely. So the point of the pole doesn’t poke through the tarp I made a little disc to spread the load. The pole has other uses too, I made this hook thing to...

I have three poles that I bought from CCS. Two of the shorter ones and one of the taller. That seems to work for me. They were not inexpensive but I liked the infinitely adjustable last section for fine tuning the height. Jim

I’m not a fisherman but the Tenkara rods are intriguing, compact and simple. I don’t have a good website to share but there is a lot of info on the web. Jim

Looks beautiful. You should be proud of what you have accomplished. Jim

If the ruling pen is obsolete (I still use one on occasion) then these pens are really obsolete. The single nib one is for drawing contour lines on a map and the double nib ones are for drawing roads and railroad tracks. The handles all swivel so the nibs can swivel. I’ve used the contour pen...

I found out too late about this set that was offered at a local auction. Even though it was quite a bit of money I still feel bad I didn’t know about it. I would have bid at least a couple of times. Jim

Glad you got out on the water Blackfly, you will sort it out. Jim

Just throwing out an idea. Anybody remember that tv show Eureka? In season 3 episode 9 there were mysterious gravity wells that kept plaguing the town making things really heavy. Perhaps that is what is going on. Jim

Just beautiful, nice save and getting it back on the water. Jim

So here is my old no longer waterproof cagoule. The sleeves are one piece across the shoulder. Drawstring at the hem, front pocket, Velcro cuff adjustment, gusset at the neck. The sleeve and hood area are lined with light breathable fabric, not that it would make that much difference being...

Where did you find that 6 1/2 oz cloth? I dug out my old cagoule a few minutes ago and will get pics tomorrow. It was sold by EMS and comes about mid calf. Jim

Welcome to the campfire Panhandle. I used to live in the panhandle of Idaho but now reside in Maine. Glad to have another sewer on board. I’ve been looking for a good anorak pattern for winter, not that I need three anoraks but I might make one just like I like. I have an old cagoule that is no...

Welcome to the campfire DBix. There are a few members here in Maine, if you head to Maine let us know. Jim

Thanks for the pics. Jim

Should not be a problem at all with a well made scarf. Try not to have a joint where a hole for a seat or thwart would compromise it. Jim

Welcome to the campfire John, looking forward to another build. Don’t hesitate to ask questions. Jim

His name is Quincy and he was seven when we got him, they said he is a Terrier/Pomeranian mix and we think it’s a Border terrier from his markings. He’s a good dog and was well trained when we got him. He’s is up for anything especially woods walks or canoeing but not much of a snow dog sadly...

Here is my “Where’s Waldo” pic after shoveling out. We had a lot of wind 18 mph with gusts to 26 mph. There was virtually no snow to shovel in the driveway but big drifts in the back yard. And we got another two inches today. Jim
