    Brook trout bait question

    ALL you need is a size 10. or 12 hook, BB sized split shot ( in swift or bigger stream you may need to add or lessen), 4# line and any light weight pole with a small reel. A small earth worm or piece of one never fails. Most creeks you can fish with about 6-10' of line. Creel to keep em in...

    6" cordless chain saw

    I have a reciprocal saw and like it but the little chain saw is much faster and gets in where the recipe kinda struggles. Both have their application but most of mine will be with the little guy.

    6" cordless chain saw

    I had several red dogwood shrubs partially die this winter and they are bunched pretty tight. Stems are too big to cut with hand shears so what to do ? Went on line and was surprised to see a number of little chain saws offered. All battery powered and weight about 2.5#. I ordered one...

    Relax, Everything is Going to be Okay!

    I have followed this thread and tried to find the historical origin of the attitude that many have about "government employees". The Great Depression gave way to make work projects to create employment for those that were struggling. One of those efforts was the Civilian Conservation Corp...
