Kitchen knife set
Kitchen knives are a bit of a hobby for me. I grew up with my parents circa 1955 Cutco's, so I was used to decent knives. When I married in 1985 we were given a block of Henckel's by my parents. Fast forward, we were given various Shun's by different friends. While all these knives were nice...- Brad

So you want to go west? A newbies guide for newbies.
It's really an individual thing. How one responds to altitude is mostly (though not all) a turn of the genetic roulette wheel. One person can have been born and raised at sea level and go to 12,000' with no apparent problem, while another similar person will suffer...- Brad

Yellowstone Obsidian...
A friend of mine used to cruise timber. In the late 70's he was walking down an old logging road when he saw an odd shape in the road and gave it a kick. A small treasure trove of obsidian points (around 30 of them) scattered all over. All unused. He figured either they were a cache in a long...- Brad

Yellowstone Obsidian...
One lingering mystery of Obsidian Cliff stumps scientists to this day: How, some 2,000 years ago, did hundreds of pounds of obsidian wind up at what is now Hopewell Culture National Historical Park in Ohio, about 1,700 miles east of Yellowstone. Researchers do not know if the material traveled...- Brad

I've picked up a lot of obsidian flakes and points all over SW Montana, including at over 10,000' in the mountains.

Do any American Boomers here remember the quality lawn mowers of old?
I'm a Boomer (born 1961). One thing I am not, however, is stuck is some fantasy that everything "back then" was better. It wasn't. I'll take my current Honda over any 1960's or 70's mower I had to deal with "back in the day." But some of my generation seem to be caught is some sort of fantasy...- Brad

Seek Outside getting heat for hosting gun control nut Ryan Busse
I'm one. I found it in 2000 when another forum disbanded and I was surfing for another forum home (member #30 lol). I rarely go to the "Hunters Campfire." That's where the dissafected, racist, insanely right wing, dead-enders hang out. The sub forums can be good, but the overflow from the...- Brad

Seek Outside getting heat for hosting gun control nut Ryan Busse
To my original post, I'd never heard of Ryan Busse until this thread. I like Seek Outside. It was obvious to me the OP was just parroting others rhetoric without having actually investigated any of this first hand, making blanket statements he may or may not be able to back up. I decided to...- Brad
