    Olympic Arms no longer selling to New York

    So the company doesn't support the idea of law enforcement? I'm not sure that is very good public relations. I hope the public boycotts them for it.

    Sara palin can't hunt...just saw video...!!

    A lot of people saw right away that "that dog couldn't hunt", me included. Poor old John McCain---will he ever be able to live his "pick of the litter" down??

    I found a puppy in the woods.

    In our town, anything lost can be advertised in the local newspaper free of charge. Maybe the papers in your area offer a similar service to the community. If no one responds, it could be that you and the puppy were destined for one another. Have you named her yet?

    Thoughts about Goretex?

    I live in the Pacific Northwest, which is practically synonomous with Gortex. It is the most breathable rain and wind shell material I've ever used. There is a spray that can be used to restore water repellancy as required. I used it and it worked fine.

    Bikes with small motors

    I did a bit of research and found several companies that sell bicycle motor kits. The motor come as gasoline versions or electric versions. You can just add a motor to your existing bicycle. I'm liking this idea!

    Bikes with small motors

    Does anyone know if bikes are made with small motors? I would like to ride my bike to work this summer. It's only about ten miles, but there are some serious hills along the way.

    Man living close to bears

    A little bear bell attached to your knap sack does wonders to warn whatever wild creatures may be near that you are in the vicinity. A little fair warning goes a long way for avoiding confrontation.

    Frontier House

    I have seen programs like the one described in the first post. Once you've seen an episode or two of this stuff, the basic theme and message don't change much. I mean, would you rather use an out house, or is indoor plumbing a better option??

    Boat heaters

    REALLY??? (You've GOT to be kidding me!) So how did the two Eskimos solve the problem? With Polar Bear pants or something?? Now THERE'S an idea!

    Who taught you to fish?

    My uncle got me hooked when I was about 13. That was over 50 years ago. Since then, I've read a lot of classic literature on the subject and I'm still hooked.

    something's wrong

    You could find out who voted against aid for Sandy victims. What is stunning is that it's a lot of people from places that have lots of hurricanes and that recieved lots of help in years past......stunning.

    Eastern Outdoors and Sports Show being banned

    At least you have to give them credit for taking a stand on an issue. They obviously felt strongly enough about it that they were willing to give up some profits. That says something. It's certainly making a lot of people stop and think.

    Boat heaters

    Although it is in the 30s where I live, I would take my boat and fish if I had a decent heater. The boat is equipped with a canvas enclosure (sort of like a tent). Can anyone recommend a good and safe heater?

    Sno Seal.

    I think it is a great product, and I swear by it. I have been using it for years, and it is so effective that I have never felt the need to try anything else for waterproofing.

    Yellowston this Summer

    At some point, I think every American should make a trip to Yellowstone. It is one of our greatest national treasures and well worth the time and effort involved.
