I rebuilt my Svea 123. Works like brand new. I bought the parts from a vender on Classic Camp Stoves. Easy to rebuild and the Svea is still one of the best stoves ever made.

US Army White Bunny Boots good for -60°F standing still or US Army Mickey Mouse Boots good fo -20°F standing still. I personally like wearing a thick pair of wool socks with these boots for the cushioning of my feet. I have personally wore the White Bunny Boots at -55°F standing still on ice...

I have carried a pocket knife since I was 10 years old. Used to play mumbly peg during recess.

You can restore some of the loft by putting the sleeping bag in a dyer, no heat, and add a clean tennis shoe with no laces. I have a North Face Superlight mummy down sleeping bag that I bought in 1980. I do this at the beginning of each camping season. It really helps the loft.

Just about anywhere would be too far for me to travel to since I live in Alaska.

This is what I would do to outfit an Old Town Pack. I would make a clamp on portage yoke for it. I would add a thwart behind the seat. I would shock cord both thwarts. I would shock cord both decks for coiled lines. I would drill holes into each end 4" down and 2" in from the stem and epoxy...

West System G-Flex is the only epoxy I have found that works really well on polyethylene canoes. I am not saying there are not other epoxies that work on polyethylene canoes, I just haven't found them. The trick is to slightly warm the polyethylene with a propane torch before applying the...

West Systems has a kit called Plastic Boat Repair Kit that has 4 oz tubes of Resin and Hardener, 2 applicators, gloves and mixing pallets.

I quit ordering from Amazon Prime. I place an order and the order sets for 3 weeks to a month before they ship it. I order the same thing from eBay and I get the order in less than a week. Ordering something from China now take less shipping time than Amazon Prime.

My meds are shipped from Anchorage, AK VA to Soldotna, AK. I see no change in the amount of time that I receive them from the time that I order them.

I wanted to use that Rey guy for Bear bait or Halibut bait.

I live 6 miles south of Soldotna, Alaska (which is a 3 hour drive south of Anchorage). I live in a small 2 street neighborhood on 1 acre. I have had baby moose born in my backyard, black bear and brown bear in my yard, One night I had a wolf chase a moose through my yard and down the driveway...

I was raised with firearms. I bought my first rifle when I was 10 years old. To me, a firearm is a tool just as a knife is a tool. I have carried a knife in my pocket since I was in the 4th grade. If you are comfortable around firearms and know how to use and maintain them, then by all means...

Remington 870 or Mossberg 500. Both are good but I prefer the Remington.

I have taken a shotgun and a rifle into Canada before. You just have to let them know that you have them before hand and buy a "permit".

South Central Alaska is black bear and brown bear country, even if you are in a city. I have had a brown bear come up over a small rise while I was taking a wizz 15 feet away. Luckily the bear saw me and turned in mid air and ran back down the hill. I have walked down a trail shared by the...

One time my family was camping by a lake. We were hiking and fishing. One evening, the kids were already in the tent sleeping while the wife and I were just sitting around the campfire enjoying the evening. A skunk came out of the woods into our camp. I told the wife not to move or make any...

I ended up buying a Wenonah Quetico bent shaft paddle. It was a local purchase and I got 15% off for being a veteran.

Nice video Tom. I enjoyed watching it.

Where I live and go canoeing in Alaska, I only have to deal with brown bears and black bears. I know bears, given enough time, can get into anything. I dehydrate and vacuum pack my own food and then triple pack the food in plastic and stuff sacks. I just wanted to know if the barrels or...
