Can't decide if this is best posted in survival or outdoors but on INGO I am thinking here.
I am going to buy a BCS this year. That decision is made for various reasons, I am just looking to see who has one of any brand or model.
This will be my first walk behind so it's all new to me...
Douglas Tompkins, co-founder of North Face, dies after Chile kayak accident | Environment | The Guardian
The co-founder of North Face died after a cold water kayak tip over.
My first high quality piece of gear was a North Face sleeping pad, Christmas 1971. I still have it and use it as a pad...
Anybody interested? We can work out the details here first then start an official contest thread. This is not an INGO sponsored official contest. Its an unofficial contest designed to encourage learnification about fishes.
Rule #1: Contests need prizes and that means entry fees. To post in...
I thought I would start it but anyone who wants to throw down in here should. I KNOW there are some fly freaks in here.
I will put some pics up later today. I was never much of a fly fisherman but I bought a rig back in 82-83 time frame. based on recent research my reel is a 1959 Pflueger...
I am curious if anyone has used one or a similar product to burn wood pellets.
My test will be in a true fireplace but it has custom steel doors that fully seal with a gasket just like a stove or insert. Strangely I have yet to find anyone even up here who has heard of things like this, let...
I am asking because at some point this summer I will be handling a full inventory for a custom job shop and we have hundred of bins that are filled with shorts and drops of all kinds of steel and other metals. If there are a few types that are prized I will keep my eyes open for them, but I...
Since your plate racks use a boltless design to hold plates, can you mix different size plates on the same rack? Or is each rack designed for a certain sized plate? I am guessing you can mix them up.
Next question is about portability. I can drive about 10 miles from my house and set up...
If you are in here, you should watch this ongoing mess right now.
No debate.....

As old people die and young people fill their places it is important to make sure knowledge transfer takes place.
Soon the season of half price heaters will be upon us, yes they do exist. I have so many, while I was posting in another thread I kept remembering just how many are in my winter...
How many of you believe you can signal a moving plane or vehicle with a mirror? I think it is becoming a lost skill, besides the fact many do not even own a proper mirror.
One day when I was 10 my Dad cut me loose in a fairly rugged desert area with very uneven terrain. The one rule that day...
The only people who would get this, of any and all political persuasions, tend to hang in here.
I grew up in a SAC Warrior home. My Dad served from 49 to 79, he floated on ice islands, trekked across the arctic, was on the ground in Korea, in the air in Vietnam, was involved in nuke tests, the...
In honor of Veterans, my Dad and other warriors who taught me survival at a young age I will share here in this thread, a conversation that truly influenced me. I was 10 years old and already a solid 2 years in to learning basic outdoor survival skills. It was 1973.
"Guys who carry 2 .45's on...
I am hunter, I need to know how this topic fits with each. Feel free to add relevant info if you have any.
Romney goes hunting
Yet the former Massachusetts governor's hunting experience is limited to two trips at the bookends of his 60 years: as a 15-year-old, when he hunted rabbits with...
Are you getting excited about Iowa?
I am not baiting people into a trap here. It is not about what people do or don't think of Iowa. I am just sitting here, having had to cancel a hunt this morning, and I saw a clip of Paul on the news at a press conference, his quote:
"There seems to be...
I just realized something. You NEVER see threads in here on cuts, stabs, pokes, prods, ouchies or boo-boos.
There is no way in H*ll with all this knife play that people are not getting hurt. If you are ever in my hood and you get hurt, call me. I have the tools and the skills. I have...
Because IF any Republican really can beat Obama that means Romney in 2012 and then he runs as the incumbent in 2016.
If Obama wins, then I guess Hillary is the natural choice in 2016, and who knows what that election year would look like but I defer to my first point made above. Just going...
Multiple times I ALMOST posted, "this crap thread should be removed."
I was not going to post in it again BUT when I returned home tonight I was reading all the new posts made in it and ZAP, it was pulled while I was perusing my way through it! I even thought my account might have been locked...
As a 100% American-Greek I have always said I was born here for a reason.
As an American-Greek when I was young (in the 1970's) I was always asked, oh do you read Greek Mythology? Do you ever go to Greece? Do you have family there?
WTF people, are we profiling here? Yes I love Tirpoita...
