Mike M., I received my prize package yesterday....Thank-you and yes it did have a multi-colored flag....Thank-you for not sending one of your "prank" packages! Mike A.

Wow! Nice find! I agree that the sticker has to go.....there is no doubt in my mind that the heat gun would work, but I would start with the hair dryer also. I actually just removed a couple of stickers from a Kevlar boat the other day, used heat gun on low setting...started in one corner and...

As previously mentioned, the Uglysticks are more durable, just not as sensitive......If they are going to fail, it will be a line guide snapping off or getting smashed....the guides aren't as robust as they used to be. I usually carry two rods, unrigged with the reels in my pack. I slide the...

Earlier in the year, my wife brought home a couple of new cook books from the library. The first was "Flour,Salt, Water, Yeast" by Ken Forkish. In a nutshell, he quit the corporate life years ago and became a very successful (after a lot of study/work) Artisan baker in Portland, Oregon. He...

For me, it's been at least one trip a year since 2007......Prior to that, it was primarily backpacking trips. Mike

Ditto on Boatman53's recommendation.....I was gifted a jetboil years ago right after they came out.....very convenient for heating water (about all it's good for). you can nest a small iso-pro fuel canister inside of it so it packs down to the size of a water bottle......Those fuel canisters are...

I picked up a 30 liter barrel with recessed handles from US Plastics a month or so ago on my way home from Detroit. It's about 45 minutes North of my house....you can see it from I-75. They have a large show/sales room, I could have spent a fortune in there......plastic containers of all...

I think the biggest complaint is if you are doing a lot of portaging, particularly over rough terrain, the support/protection isn't there and the other complaint is that even the "breathable" ones you tend to sweat in and still wind up wet from perspiration. A lot of guys are using Chota...

I make them in my fry bake pan on a canister or white gas backpacking stove....I picked up a light weight heat diffuser from the local hardware store and have an old asbestos hood I put over everything to hold the heat.....If I remember, I flip the biscuits about halfway thru the cook time...

With the guys I go with, that would be the fixings for one meal! LOL! Mike

How about “The Expanse” series? International best seller....currently 8 books in the series with 9th on the way. Also a couple of novellas out.....made into a tv series currently on Amazon Prime I believe....I’ve read the 1st book, Leviathan Wakes” and thoroughly enjoyed it.....trying to make...

Yolk and whites.....

Saw a post on Instagram the other day on a "daily special" from a restaurant in Grand Marais, MN for "Wild Rice Burgers".....I've seen them on the menu before at various restaurants up North, but never had one.....had plenty of soups and chowders though. The picture on Instagram looked pretty...

Have a good trip guys! I am hoping to get up there in September...... mike

Yes, he picked it up Saturday.....Thanks again for putting this out there! He said the hull is in great condition other than a small 2-3" split at the top of the bow....probably dropped or something while the gunwales were off....nothing a little g-flex won't take care of......He called...

Hi Chuck, If the boat is still available, my brother recently relocated from New Orleans to Portland (Coast Guard) and is looking for a canoe to take his kids out on some of the area lakes/rivers.......He's pretty handy so new gunwales, etc. wouldn't be an issue for him. I spoke to him a little...

Made a loaf this past weekend....pretty good!

[No message]

Yeah, Whenever baking in one of my Dutch's, I always try to apply the majority of the heat from the top down.....The problem with this particular recipe is the 450 deg F baking temp. Over the years, I have found it to be pretty easy to maintain a 350-375 temp, but at that temp, you don't get...

Wow! That looks really good! Thanks for sharing! mike
