    Diesel heaters.

    If just looking to supplement wood heat I can't see a diesel heater being better than a buddy or propane. Maybe only advantage would possibly be less condensation. I have seen a couple of the cheap diesel set ups in vans and even know one guy who did one in his boat blind. Besides the heater...

    Oh, the irony!

    I harbor some of the same feeling but when I stop and think that my kids might not have the opportunities I did I decided to suck it up and get on our AG's ass. I'm asking others to do so too.

    Ford guys - 5.0 or 3.5 eco boost?

    Had a 12 5.0. Exhaust sounded good and was fine if you just want a truck that's not going to tow much. Only problem was blowing out a water pump at about 20K. Traded it after 3 years for what a really wanted. A new to me 2014 with the 3.5, 3.73 ratio, electronic locking differential the total...

    Adjusting draw weight. Update.

    Any bow I'm aware of you do it under tension. Righty tighty increases draw weight. Usually, but not always, adjust equal turns.

    Campers

    Had a pop up to start. Liked it OK. Like having AC or Heat to take the edge off sometimes. Set up take down not terrible IMO but also not fun. Went through 2 full on travel trailers. Family had a great time in them but feel lucky that the first one got stolen and the 2nd I was able to sell...

    Sabot Slugs vs Nilgai

    Rifled slugs are for smooth bore. Sabots for rifled barrel. My experience with rifled slugs in smooth bore is acceptable hunting accuracy out to 70ish yards knowing the drop and holding accordingly. To the OP my experience is SST's always accurate out of any gun I've tried them but terminal...

    Ultralight Climbers

    Seriously just had this pop up after first looking at this thread. If I were younger maybe I would give a saddle more consideration but probably not. When I need a climber I use an older LW sit and climb. Only mod is a sling seat and third hand straps. Heavier yes but good back pack strap with...

    Shotgun slugs

    That sucks. Fortunately I have a few boxes left and I probably won't hunt shotgun season again until I have grand kids. Then I'll have an excuse to buy a straight wall cartridge rifle.

    Shotgun slugs

    Yep can be expensive and painful. Rifled barrel mean sabots. I've always had good accuracy out Hornadys but never been impressed with wound channel results. Usually just through and through on a double lung hit. Remington copper solids are what I settled on in our 20 and 12 ga. guns.

    Grizz kills 2 in Banff w/ update

    Old bear in bad shape with bad teeth. Similar to the maneater tiger from India stories. Can't imagine their last moments.

    Yar-Craft?

    Outside of concerns about the motor.... As some one already said transom integrity is probably biggest concern. A boat of that age probably has wood glassed in place. Look for stress cracking at the corners that could indicate flex. Small cracks in gelcoat is not to be unexpected. Look for...

    Catchphrases

    For sure he needs to know that you don't use, shoot, carry, pack or whatever the correct verb may be......... You "run" it or you're "runnin" it.

    Worth a listen..this one hit home.

    Sound advice to be sure. Sometimes I can't help myself.
