Satisfying...and surprising; as discovering that one of the best meals you had ever eaten was made from leftovers. No one cooks up better vids than you. Thanks.

No Title I'm a Ford guy.

This thread flashes me back to when my teenage daughter was getting her first "real" dog (previous pets had always been taken care of by Mama & Daddy). As she looked over the puppies she would say "What do you think my pals will think about this one?" Daddy: Are your pals going to pay for the...

You're answer depends on what you're looking for. Back in the 70's a 17'er on top of a Carmen Ghia got me a date with Anita Fariolini.

You're a courageous man, Robin. I admire that. I'd be proud to deer hunt out of that boat.

Big smile! Doc.

A true adventurer. I respect his skill set, knowledge base, and intuition. Doc.

BV, the tick key works fine. However you can take a pull tab from your favorite refreshing beverage and with a couple of quick tweeks make your own tick key. As such, my buddy, Oley, considers the discovery of a tick a good reason for enjoying a cold beer! Doc.

No Title I've been fortunate with my Toyotas over the years but round about the new millennium I began to realize that I was needing more room for my decreasing flexibility (ahem). I purchased this Ford in 2005 from a company that had ordered a fleet of 20 basic units. 19 were the expected...

Just took a two day overnighter down Panther Creek and into Calling Panther Lake. Having trouble transferring pics from camera to computer but hope to have something up soon. Doc.

Your a gifted man, Odyssey. Anyway ... I'm gonna make eggs, biscuits, and sausage gravy for lunch, then clean the kitchen, then run the vacuum, then watch the football game on TV while holding a Jack London novel in my lap. And I'm out. Doc.

"... just because it's a sentimental favorite." Good point Odyssey. There should be a small allowance for a piece of gear that is more "old friend" than "tool".

B.B., I'm one of those Ph.D. guys. And there is ample evidence of the compensation myth. I know, I camped/hunted/paddled with them -- once! Canotrouge, I carry a Winchester Scout 30-30, open iron sights.

I had a Russell Green River knife a few years ago. 2nd time out the blade just broke in half while notching wood. It didn't fit me well anyway so I gave it a "hmmph!" and went to the knife drawer. Interestingly I've been using my 23 year-old Buck Mini Mentor a whole lot lately. The blade is only...

Jim, In your assembly process, are you burning the end of your new unused waxed jute/wick with a lighter? You need to do this once for each wick otherwise it will not fluff properly. Doc.

As an afterthought: I frequently use oil lamp wicks soaked in beeswax as fire starter. I cut them to about 2 inches long, burn the ends then snuff them out. The burnt end then fluffs and takes a Ferro spark. You can hold it like a match to light your fire then extinguish. You can get several...

I'm planning on paddling the entire length of the Pascagoula River basin, end of March - beginning of April. It is the last unchecked,unchannelized, unimpeded (no dams) river system in the lower 48. I will be paddling across more than a third of the State of Mississippi, ending up in the Gulf of...

Canotrouge, I'm guessing turpentine is turpentine is turpentine. The pure gum spirits is simply what my local hardware man stocks. If anybody knows any difference, that would be helpful to know. Doc

Southcove, I use a 2-1-1 parts mixture of white beeswax - boiled linseed oil - and pure gum spirits turpentine. Melt the wax, slowly mix in oil & turp, let it set up. If I'm wp canvas cloth I'm a little more generous with the oil in the mix; makes for a smoother, easier spreading paste on...

I use 100% beeswax simply because I always have some extra from making my own waterproofing. Doc
