    Mobil Hunting Camp

    This is our rig. The auto loader allows me to leave base camp. First year for this boat hauler. Had ND in mind but I think for me anyway their new out of state rules has me looking for options.

    Off Roading on Public Lands

    We came to Lake City, CO to meet some friends to drive the Alpine Loop and do a little fly fishing. I've heard about this area for years. It's mountain trails through the San Juan Mountains. Mostly rock crawling and moderate drives although there were some tricky switch backs but we also...

    E-bikes, pretty much a non-issue for me

    I've been hunting the Mississippi river islands since I lost access to private lands some 20 years ago. Public lands in Illinois are over run and motorized vehicles including e bikes are prohibited. With that in mind, is somewhere like West Fork WMA off the Shell Rock River an option for deer...

    Great Loop Jon Boat

    Interesting dude with quite a history. I enjoyed the adventure. I had hoped he would have taken the route across Illinois to the Mississippi River where I live rather than the Illinois River. I would have loved to have traveled with him a bit but then he wouldn't have beat the record. Too many...

    Brain trust plumbing help...

    So let me understand. You unscrewed the head. Then you pulled the rod and plunger. Then you uncrewed the outside pipe from the brass fitting and pulled the stand pipe or are you looking down the stand pipe in the photo you uploaded?

    Brain trust plumbing help...

    If you'd asked about this 30 years ago I'd have sent you a new Clayton Mark yard hydrant with a replacement valve like this. I lead the team that designed this. Anyway you need to pull the hydrant and replace the bass valve body and rubber plunger. It doesn't matter what manufacturer you replace...

    Going for the dumbest mistake of the years award.

    I went back to transom straps when my winch strap broke and my bow chain came loose. I was using a gunnel strap and the boat slipped under it and my skeg hit the pavement. That was an expensive fix!

    Boat Cover Materials

    Seal Skin covers is what I used for my CC boat down there. Ive never found anything that hold up well. Especially anything Max? Within a few months they turn red and faded. Even here in Illinois you're lucky to get 6 mos. Down there. I got a light weight green canvas tarp and painted foliage...

    Coast guard abbreviations were established before the postal service abbreviations which I knew was in the 60's. Actually 1963. I looked it up. For Instance the Coast guard abbreviation and postal matches Illinois with IL. Your unsolicited junk mail for Saturday night!😊
