    Not an Uncle John Pirogue Seat

    Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think the proper name for the "bush axe" is Kaiser Blade. Doc.

    Wearin' out!

    Use that camo duct tape and the repaired disc becomes invisible!

    Wearin' out!

    Hey Gramps, Just sharpened all my cutting tools and for the going rate of $5 could do the slitting with minimal scarring. For $6 I could make it look like a bullet hole and, coupled with the right "story", the scar could make you a legend around the campfire for years to come! I do hope it all...

    Inexpensive ( Stainless Steel ) Cooking Set.

    Back from my Thanksgiving hunt; put two in the freezer and I'll leave it at that! After going through many styles and permutations thereof, of solo cook kits, I've returned to my first romance. I' been using this kit now for a while and couldn't be happier. Starting at the top left, working...

    My digestive system is mosquito-intolerant. It's genetic. I can't eat wasps either.

    2016 season

    You land that balsa bird in my green field and scare away my deer Jack, and that Kayak will get repositioned from your anterior to your posterior.

    2016 season

    Tell ya what I'll do Sparky: I'll eat a couple of deer kabobs and play a song in you honor. Then I'll double down on the "refreshment" and telepathically beam the whole experience to you (I'm sure telepathy or some other cosmic ability will emerge after the double down). You might want to stock...

    2016 season

    Those are indeed the directions but then you have to turn on the gravel road to the left right after where Dud's General and Hardware used to be. Go a pretty good piece and look for the big Ash tree on the right with a barbwire girdle. We'll eat about 7ish. Guitar picking and "refreshment"...

    2016 season

    Went on a hunting trip with two of my sons the last three days (along with a few others). They both knocked down a good sized doe. Me...I dragged two deer out of the bush and cleaned both. As camp cook I was the most popular guy there. Brought home two backstraps and two hind quarters! It was a...

    Swiss Army , Camper.

    I use a Victorinox as my every day carry. Can't beat it. When I'm camping/paddling my two cutting tools are a Leatherman Sidekick and my trusty 1899 hatchet. The saws on both the V. and the L. are comparable. I gave up carrying a fixed blade knife and separate saw when I converted completely to...

    2016 season

    Got a 130+ pound doe. About a 22 yard shot across the creek from my ground blind. Good shot; she only ran about 45 yards. Toughest part was getting her back across the dry creek bed. We're in a drought here in MS. Sliding her down one 15 foot bank was nothing but hauling her up the other side...

    This is great....what a country!

    I am not a homophobe. I'm a geometricist. That is, I simply understand where and how certain shapes fit best, according to their purposed design.

    Biking In The Fall

    You "ride" a bike? I mean actually "ride" a bike? Through four grown kids, a seemingly endless supply of g'kids and their friends (who also have more friends), I thought all you did with bicycles was "fix" them! I do love the pay-off: smiles and hugs.

    Fire Ant Bites........

    I dab straight Clorox on the bite. After a minute I wash it well and forget about it. Of course my entire body now looks like a pair of stone-washed jeans from the 70's!

    Pretty quiet here

    I went half-time at work a year and a half ago so I'm partially retarded -- fully retarded in three and half more years. Been learning how to slow down. So lately I've been paddling on the Bouie, Leaf, and Black rivers in MS...been camping and refining my diy camping equipment...been playing my...

    In this crazy election season

    Now let me get this straight Swampwood: God's Word is useful in every arena of life except politics? Fools congregate in the political arena but referencing God's Word there would make them even more foolish? It's no wonder Jesus liked to board a boat and sail away from all the religious folk...

    Standing in a pirogue?

    "Skill" is the primary variable. My own experience is such that I would not pole a pirogue less than 14' in length or beam width less than 30". Bigger is easier/safer for me. In any case, use dry bags/boxes until you know how to use your stick.

    Foam Flotation for wooden boats?

    I have never used foam. Instead I run a 3" board across the bottom of the hull parallel to the deck end. I run as well another matching 3"board up under the deck end from end to end. Then I put one of those big tough rubber playground balls I stole from my grandkids up under the deck and...
