    Small Space Gardening

    I've been square foot gardening for about 17 years now. the method works great. my home garden is 10' x 16' and always looks neat and well maintained with little effort. Well worth the try, for those thinking about it.

    Kayak Fishing

    I've done it for decades also. I'm not sure exactly why "Kayak Fishing" gets it's own special designation these days. You don't say "I'm going canoe fishing". Just a random thought....... But anyway.....Here's how I do it while on multiday trips...... I have a piece of bungee cord about 8...

    Shamrock / Roo

    Nice. I have a KZ Coyote, a little 16 footer with a slide out that really opens it up. Small, light efficient and can get in anywhere. I plan on putting a lift kit on it this year for those dispersed wilderness sites. I like the ground clearance on yours.

    Rained out!

    I usually don't mind some rain when out, but we cancelled our plans this past weekend for Pictured Rocks in the UP due to 1.5 inches of rain and steady 25mph winds. Backpacking the cliffs exposed with those conditions would not be fun for three days. Took the camper out instead.

    Metal Detectors

    Here's a tip: Search underneath ski lifts in the spring. At the ski area the company I used to work for owned, there was only one guy allowed by the Mountain Manager to go on with his equipment and he always stayed under the lifts, not on the trails. From what I understand, it was his...

    Whats your pick?

    I could do more with Package #2 to up my chances of survival than any other package. My priorities would be eliminating the threat of hypothermia by building shelter to keep the sleeping bag and myself dry, then worry about food. The .22 could dispatch small game easily and larger game with...

    22 ammo

    I would never price gouge and intend on using it for my own purposes. I'm just glad at that time, it was cheap enough to say..."Ok, every time I go to the store, I'll pick up a brick." I did the same with 9mm value packs and .223/5.56. It didn't hurt the wallet so much then and I figured it...

    22 ammo

    I have a friend big on the political scene down by Chicago. In early 2008 he told me to start buying hard because a certain someone was gaining a lot of attention. I know this guy well and took his advice. I'm glad I did. The ammo crisis here where I live in the upper midwest didn't seem like...

    Anyone try SUP?

    There's little packs you can strap to the boards for gear while you're out doing it. I saw a person not only have a bunch of gear strapped on but was doing it sitting on a makeshift seat of some sort. The whole time, i was wondering if he had ever heard of a thing called a "canoe".

    Do YOU have to have the best equipment for camping/hiking? Opinions...

    YES! My gear must be the best I can afford it to be. It has to be proven with multiple reviews and I pour over gear reviews thoroughly. It must be functional for a wide range of outdoor activities as I like to get lots of "bang for the buck". I put a lot of time and effort into my outdoor stuff...

    OB is still the Best Site

    You must have been on BP.com. It gets worse every year. It's now a political mudslinging forum thinly disguised as a backpacking forum for the 10% of the users that actually go outside. It's a shame too. I've met so many good people all over the US from those forums and they are pretty much all...

    Starting to feel like Fall

    We're getting that feeling here. In three weeks I'm taking the wife backpacking in the UP. There should be good fall color by then.
