This is a the first pair I tried the t shirt method with. I had just finished building my boat and had some 5200 left over and no money for new waders. These were so destroyed from blackberrys that there was no way I could patch each hole. After I was done they were nearly bulltproof and I wore...

I typically will make a patch out of and old T-shirt cut up and 5200 or any old silicone that I have laying around. I will lay the 5200 where the patch is to go then push the cut out patch into it, then put a little more good on for good measure. Doesn't look pretty but it works.... I have...

I have break away plate for my motor. Before I had a motor with power trim and tilt I just never locked it down. When I got a motor with power trim and tilt I purchased on if these https://thmarinesupplies.com/products/cmc-ba-130-break-away-mount. Mine doesn't have the spring on it and it has...

Chuck I would agree that you are heading down a rabbit hole. I have made a few Tri-lams and have some Yew staves drying that I plan on making a longbow or 2 from. It is a lot of fun. make sure to take your time during tillering and don't rush it. You will most likely break a few in the...

I was thinking about this and used to have the same problem and then I moved the axle on the trailer about foot towards the stern to remove some the tounge wieght and it helpd out considerably. With less force being put on the jack when at the extents it won't bind up as much. May not help in...

Thank you both of you. I have been using sulfidine and it works well. The problem is if we forget to put it on. Always seems to be once it it almost healed and then she goes at it and we start over.. I was just curoius if anybody out there had any other ideas. It just takes one slip up on our...

My old lab developed a hot spot on her side a few months ago. I didn't think much of it but decided to take her to the vet to have it checked out. It turns out to be nothing serious. Vet thinks it was a scrape or something that became infected. The probelm is that she started chewing on it and...

I have been following Pure Watercraft for a couple years. For most of my hunting and fishing it would work great and I like the idea of low noise. However there are trips that I do that this just wouldn't work. Same issue I have with EV cars. Daily driving would be fine but every couple weeks I...

There is a similer law in WA. At the time it was enacted I was loaning my spare 870 to my bosses son for the season who was getting into duck hunting. It was understood that if he was asked that the simple answer is "it's mine". There is no paperwork for this gun since I bought it from a buddy...

HI Tony, I move from Oregon to Vancouver about 12 years ago and continue to hunt on Oregon for that very reason. I found it difficult to find public access. With property lines going to the middle of the river or low tide, unlike in Oregon. The only thing I could find around here is Ridgefield...

I would say that over the 20 years I have been hunting in Oregon, public access has not changed much. There is what used to be a popular walk in spot just outside of Portland that was owned by BLM, the Sandy River Delta. Once it changed hands to Forrest Service they limited access hours and...

This weekend I thought would get a little fishing in and expose Bri to the boat and see how the new motor runs . Motor runs great but want ot rais it up a little and gets lower pitch prop. Bri did good in the boat and napped in the bow on some life jackets for most of the time. Only problem is I...

This past season my dog Bell at 12 years old has been slowing down quite a bit so we made the decision to get a new puppy and we now have Bri! On top of that my Etec was having problems and with Evinrude no longer supported I treated myself to a new 40hp Yamaha which is a big upgrade from the...

That looks fantastic! Typically I make linguisa, toluse and other random sausages from my ducks, I have about 80lbs of pork from pig hunting this year which was a first for me. Did my first ham and it turned out delicious. Have been accumulating parts for a curing chamber and am just about...

Todd, I hunt from Bonneville down to Brownsmead and have never thought about it. I would think the one positive is that they are not there all year like the fish, but like you say after 10 years of feeding on clams who knows.

12 year old mallard on the Willamette River in Oregon. We got it jump shooting as we drifted down the river to the take out after decoying birds in the morning. the anticipation to see what was around the corner was always fun!

At one time I was considering making one, mainly for the gun cradle. I freelance and rarely am in a nice blind. I was toying with ideas to make the cradle fold out of the way when not in use just because I can see myself breaking them off in the dark in a crowded boat. More importantly it would...
