      Stuck in your vehicle. What you should have.

      Don’t wrap yourself in Mylar, you will wake up with hypothermia. It retains all your body moisture along with the heat. Use it to insulate the vehicle windows. Tape it up, cut to fit and tape some more. Cuts way down on heat loss. I keep 2 wiggys blankets in a compression sack ALONG with a...

      MSG3: Meeting Regularly Now

      We will figure out the housing, just a function of money really. I have been good, never thought I might end up a part time Hoosier but things are lining up nicely. It’s a good year already for me. Feeling energized and focused. Which is good because we are being tested, walked up to the...

      MSG3: Meeting Regularly Now

      ****in’ A right, especially if I start showing up for a few. Looks like I will be a part time Bloomingtonian later this Spring, but for sure next winter & spring. Any suggestions on finding temporary furnished housing? GF will be house hunting too.

      What preps do you value most and why?

      This. Clean air, water and soil. I technically have some of the cleanest water and air in the country. Solar gain, and knowing how to use it. Indigenous plants. Multipurpose tools and equipment. PVC, Pex line, 2x4S, black pipe, all kinds of tape, caulk, tarps, enclosed trailers. Other...

      A Slightly Lighter Load

      I have an old uncle mikes belt I use as my gorilla gardener set up. I use it year round, home and field. Glock shovel, small hatchet, hori-hori knife, Silky Saw and Fiskars anvil pruners. I toss it in a metal milk crate along with 4lb sledge and rock hammer. Then a Galco version of a...

      Shooting coyotes

      Few years ago a friend, who I frankly admire as about as deep woods a hunter as there is, had a chance to mow down a bunch of wolf pups with his truck. They were in the road coming right off his property. I'm not going to go into what it's like to live with wolves around you, but in his case...

      Any advice for shoreline fishing?

      Buy a small cast net and a 3 or 5 gallon bucket with lid to keep it in. Use net, put bait in the bucket. Buy it now and practice using it in your yard.

      Anyone here into Kayak fishing?

      My opinion is Berkley Gulp minnows are priceless and don't add 35-50lbs of buckets and water to my rig. No bait wasted at the end of the day. As for keeping fish, I have a specific stringer that works great and a stringer full of fish is a nice drag in wind LOL. The only time a stringer is a...

      Anyone here into Kayak fishing?

      I have not found electronics needed in my kayak. Even on larger lakes, I tend to hug the 15' contour or shallower. A jig or crank bait can tell me what I don't know. I keep one rod rigged with a jig so I can "search" quickly. More open the water, the more wind, so I avoid deeper water. I...

      Recommend an anti-tick lawn spray

      I have zero confidence in Bayer brands. Just my experience. I live in ground zero for Lyme disease and some variations you never heard of, permethrin is his I roll. Buy the 10% concentrate, it's literally 10x cheaper to mix your own. Look for "Perm 10" types of names at farm stores. I live...

      What happens when the steering in your boat goes kaput? THIS!

      One of the toughest days of my life, lost a good friend in an accident something like that, in a tourney. One of the few people I truly trusted running a boat with me in it, and my Bro is an R&D engineer in the marine industry so I know guys who know boats. It doesn't take much for the...

      Wonder if this is the year to invest in ice fishing gear?

      If anybody wants a deal on ice fishing rods say so, and I will go check this week for any deals I can find. Saw some good ones a few weeks ago when I bought a musky rod about 66% off.

      Gardening 2016

      No don't try to recover any from the moldy jar. Not worth it.

      Gardening 2016

      Dehydrated is really not preserved. Thinly sliced fruits in smaller batches might keep longer, but once you get that much material together in container, it will mold. It still has to go in the freezer. Herbs don't tend to rehydrate, I think their ability to hold moisture is much reduced...

      Who uses a red light for coyote?

      Regardless of your light of choice, I think you will find your range is based on your optics and choice of shooting lanes. The eyes reflect an amazingly low amount of light. I agree with keeping them in the halo of the light. Then move dead center when you are ready to shoot. I just use a...
