    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...

    I remember when:

    Credit cards were introduced. Soda was a dime and you could get 3 cents if you returned the bottle. Polio was common. B-36 bomber. Atomic testing above ground in Nevada we could see the glow in Western Colorado at night. Hiding under your school desk to hide from a nuclear bomb attack...

    Trophy Qualities for Mountain Goats

    Talk to Sam Dalin in Ketchikan at Dalin Charters & Guiding. He takes some very big goats and is really a straight forward guy. I would ask him how he and his son Devin judge how big a goat really is.

    What has been your favorite hunt of all

    I was 14 but about fully grown. My brother-in-law and I went on my first elk hunt. Poor as church mice we had very little of what we needed. About froze our butts off. We had a crude map drawn on a piece of card board and really had no idea where we were as we had driven in on an old muddy...
