Opps! Just found the above feature but it is difficult for my eyes to read... small print on a black field in a small pop-up like bubble.... But without an edit button... I have to do an entirely new post. :Thumbsdown:

I very much agree with this sentiment. Members icons either transferred to the new format distorted or didn't transfer at all. The counters were all reset and consequently long time and very active members like "Grandpa", "Cappy", "dinosaur" and "ppine" who have all recieved hundreds (if not...

DITTO THAT!!! There aren't enough words to describe how much I loath FaceBook!!! Or how absolutely foolish many people's level of participation on that privacy robbing socialist debacle is... I just hope they wake up soon and spit out the purple Kool-Aid.

ppine.... (BTW... How's things?) I grew up in a mining town 15 miles from Sturgis... back in the 60's and 70's the outlaw biker clubs would try to come up take over Main Street and the Main Street bars. Notice I said try... Most "Deadwoodians" were practicing very blatant "open carry" for most...

I personally have had to take a break from internet forums in general. At least a couple of the most popular internet forums have been completely removed by their retail corporation owners. One has since reemerged, but totally started over from square one (Bass Pro Shop). Another after being...

We do practically all our fishing up on and around the Grand Mesa. Lakes are all above 9,000 ft. with our favorites at 9,800 - 10,500 ft. … Typically very cold water. These lakes are stocked at least semi-annually with rainbows, brookies, and "cutbows", but the biggest fish will usually be the...

Though not quite as compact, this one is about the same weight, far stronger (weight capacity) and it adjusts to 36" ht. ... a little less expensive as well... Lifetime 48" adjustable "fold in half" table.... plus its made by Lifetime... We take 2 of their (non adjustable ht.) "fold in half"...

Ok, I have to ask? I've heard both sides of this debate for years... But doesn't the "camp" that keeps saying, "Don't believe the liberal politicians and their lackeys, the government instituted Environmental Agencies and their second rate scientific toadies, that want us us to believe that...

I visited Glacier National Park when I was 11 yrs. old. At that time most of the glaciers there were "in retreat", but back then it was thought to be just a down swing in their natural cycle. That down swing has steady increased during the past 40+ yrs. to the point that many of the glaciers I...

Ours is a "Kidde" model: KN-COB-B CO detector (not smoke) from that major home improvement store that says' "We can help". Its cool because it has a fold out leg so it can stand up. Its not a current model but it can be found new online. If I were going to get a new one for camping today...

The article, that Grandpa provided a link to, is about a very recent tragedy that was surely devastating to the families and friends of those involved. I really think that it is neither respectful nor compassionate to use words like "stupid" or "ignorance" in regards to something like this. And...

DAMN! I wrote my article to try to prevent this very type of accident... I agree Grandpa... So, so sad. My deepest condolences to their family and friends. CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR in use in our tent:

I have an Air Arms S410 XTRA FAC (PCP) 5.5mm (.22) cal. with a Webley "Zero Option" 6-24 x 50 Field Target Scope that I bought from Pyramyd Air in 2004. I typically put about 1200 Diabolo Exact (15.9 gr) pellets through it a year on a 20m range in my back yard. With this pellet it is right at...

We are fortunate to live in a location that boasts many great hiking, backpacking, camping, fishing, hunting, gold panning, and 4 wheeling opportunities, just to name a few… But most of these areas are far from secret. Many of the people that grew up in this area have, since childhood, spent...

Sometimes you just have to make your own About 4 yrs. ago I looked everywhere for propose built camping "grub boxes".... The ones I could find online really didn't hold the types of things that are in our kitchen kit and most had little or no provision for carrying food stuffs. So I designed...
