It is and like you; im all about easy. I tell people, “im the laziest person you know” which isn’t entirely true? Over the years my projects have gone many directions and most take a stroll thru either the Lathe or Mill. I forget which famous Indian said “when the buffalo are gone we will hunt...

I make all manner of things @Glenn MacGrady, as a hobby. Along with this paddle i’ve got 4 carbon fiber fly rod tubes being worked with the paddle. For me it’s just busy work and i don’t care for making multiples of anything. Rod tubes are fine due to the simplicity. This has been a “good...

Today i waisted some wood and still have some to go. The pattern weighs 16oz, I think this one will finish around 18oz. I’m still happy.

Nothing special here; im experimenting and will show you what i learn. After rooting thru the Cedar at H. Depot i bought a couple clean 1x6’s which had good faces (on one side). Epoxy was applied to both faces and a single piece of lite glass tape was laid down between them before combining the...

I like to tell people “this place is like Miami compared to where i moved from” This graph confirms that! All that green stuff in western N.Dakota was home for roughly 15 years. It also agree’s with one of Custers officers who upon seeing the badlands for the first time commented; “it looks like...

This is where i use my “sure sorry so many of you live in such hostile environment’s”; line on you!😏

With the Tonga eruption, were flooded with numerous articles telling us what happened, a few of those told us “what’s going to happen”. Several of those talk about multi year disruption’s in “normal” And it sounded somewhat vague as to how long this disruption would last but any where from 2-15...

Turning 73 in a Month, this thread has been interesting to me. About an equal mix of high hopes and woe is me’s discussed. Most of you have many years in canoes so i can understand your reluctance to give up something so familiar and enjoyable to you. For me; there were canoes off and on at...

I’ve always “backed off from Rattlesnakes” too; just far enough that the blast from a 12 ga didn't result in me getting any of it on me!

And then there’s G-flex or 3M 5200? Maybe “it cant be done” but i’ve used both, successfully on OT Discovery’s. maybe i’m just lucky or foolish or both? Ive also welded kids toys (hot wheel’s) etc with a propane torch and a screwdriver.

I realize how old this is but im having those same issues, i believe. For months now, not just sporadically; when i start typing “canoetripping.com” into a search my ipad immediately recognizes where im going and loads after the “a”, no need to finish filling it in. Then when i click on the...

With electric heat and circulated water; they do just fine! Stays 42-45 in the rabbit building.

-13F here this morning and for a couple more it looks like? And for anyone clamoring for snow; send me an address and i’ll ship you all you’d like!

Ceynars were at the west end of the park, we were on the Watson ranch; directly east of the north unit. It was very nice country 30 plus years ago, cant say how it would be now. After all, they got stop lights and all in Watford now!!😳

Since Saturdays post; we’ve received another ft of snow and it looks like some pretty low temps thru the week. It’ll all be fine; we’re warm and dry and the bird feeder’s full!

@Alan Gage , temps have been running single digit to low 30’s And the piles will still be there, but larger into Late April! Every now and then we’ll have some thawing which leads to black ice road conditions so we prefer plane ole snow.

Over 75 inches of Snow at this point and snowing right now. Dug out a path up to the greenhouse and lit the Toyo so the roof would slide. 3 hours later it did. Cant complain, i’ve got a good plow truck and haven’t run outa places to shove it yet!

For me the gold standard is a Sheep Hunters pack/camp, which is most comfortable around 55-60 lbs. That would include a 2 man shelter and a weeks worth of freeze dries, water filter, sleeping bag, rifle, msr stove etc. These were always fly out hunts and you always had to consider how much...

The splash caught my eye as well along with the neck ties and the poor gal wearing a skirt!

Ankle high Barbours until im wading in knee deep snow then pac boots. The Barbours have a much better fit than Duratuff’s; better support, firmer sole etc. However, up here this type of shoe/boot is my daily wear, winter/summer doesn’t matter. The pac boots are LaCross from the early 80’s, un...
