Dani: similar thing, different "store" name, nearly took a payment from my father on a truck that didn't exist. After a bit of research, I was convinced it was a scam and advised him to bail. He did, and later it was revealed to be a scammer operating out of Toronto. Hopefully none of this is...

Hey all. So I have a request for help. So we have rented a place on the Lake MI shore, Silver Lake to be exact, for the first week and a half of August. While there, I can get access to a tin boat and salmon gear through friends of the in-laws, but I have no idea how to even begin fishing this...

Is this a "Sky's the Limit" question? "cause if so, I say you head off to the nearest dealer and look into a Regulator. You'll never fish finer. Jones Bros. would be an excellent choice, as well. Otherwise, I would say to look into Grady Whites. They are a solid boat, take well to the...

Mike: in describing how you facilitated her passage, I am again reminded how powerful our bond with our pups can be. Your compassionate action speaks volumes about the bond we share with our pups. Best wishes.

Hi Ben, I did one a few years ago and found it to be "soft" (as was mentioned) and not at all the lightweight boat I was looking for. I ended up donating it to a bunch of kids to float in an irrigation pond. I say go for a lightweight glass-over-wood.

This looks very much like a scene from a Rick Bass story.

OK, that makes more sense. You'll get all the help you need here, but if needed, PM me, as I used to work at a yard that sold and repaired Whalers of all stripes and levels of damage. Good luck!

Dog: "I would if I could, but I'm back here so I can't....and why is that?"

This is slightly off-topic, but a Boston Whaler with wood in the hull? I can't say that I have heard of such a model. Admittedly, I don't know everything about Whalers, but as far as I knew, they were all foam-sandwiched hulls. Is this a pre-1960's era hull? I'm not trying to call you out, just...

Any chance someone can post a link? I have not been able to find his process. thx.

sitting on a log in my ghillie suit, dekes on the river, finishing a committed teal. The teal locks up, coming straight at me. I rise to shoot and right at that very moment, three guys come charging *and firing* through the reeds on the opposite bank. Before I could pull off the bird, the reeds...

me: size 10, 5'10 wife: I should know....

And good juju right to you both from Colorado. The maternal side of my family is well acquainted with this situation- and they all like to gather together and remind us men and boys just how easy we have it!

Just a wild idea: a while back i tried my hand at the use of electrolosys in order to de-rust an old, completely trashed Sears something or other. there were plenty of how-to's on youtube, and i was flat-out amazed at how effective the process was. zero work, but near perfect results. i...

Neal: my first thought was not the cart cart, but the electric car version cart. with a bag of dekes. and giant mud tires. i like the idea of rigging some type of cart. Time to try craigslist. thanks for the help all.

Good afternon all. I am wondering if anyone has any product knowledge of a deke bag that is built on a frame pack foundation? I cover a good deal of ground in my walk-ins and would like to maximaize the load and minimize the fantastic instability and discomfort that comes from walking with...

As always, thanks for stepping up. I'll be contacting the NJ folks soon enough, and have sent an email to the wooden boat folks. I'll update if this idea goes anywhere.... Rob- friend of mine worked there for many years, last name: Rickett. I actually interviewed there 8 yrs ago- but went...

Good afternoon, fellas. If anyone out there has practical experience instructing basic boatbuilding to junior high students, I'd like to chat. I'm thinking of writing a grant for some startup funds and trying it out for a year ('10-'11 year, not this year current year). My Principal is...

hi patrick, as was mentioned, just first be sure to ascertain the value of your gun prior to doing any work. i just finished a complete refinish of an older winchester .22 and opted to finish the wood with Butcher's wax. I did this because the wood grain was particularly pleasing and I like...

I did, 'Jimmy'. Been a long time, man.... PM when you get the chance.
