    Thanks, good to know! I haven't found a tidy 3.2 with under 300,000k yet, so I'm looking at the 2.5 diesel. There's a few closer to 200k but I'm stretching the budget a bit (really don't want to...

    Sounds better than the old bunny in a billy over a campfire.... Although I did come up with a decent stew couple months back. Shot several bunnies with the 17hmr and decided to cook em up at camp...

    Being out in the bush is what it's all about. I used to be a heavy drinker, party buzz and all that. When I gave it up I didn't know what to do with myself. Camping became pointless. That's what got...

    I'm still looking for a lightweight sleeping mat that isn't a heap of crap. When I do finally find one, it'll probably be that. Actually thinking of going back to the old foam mat after reading...

    I use a small cabinet scraper to remove old finishes. If you don't have one you can easily make one from an old hand saw blade. Paint stripper works well but I don't like working with it, and the...

    I have a friend who brings deer home with a .303 and he loves it. But most good ones I see around are $300+ at that point I'd be putting a few more coins in and getting a 270 or 243. I've seen some...

    I get this feeling around certain people and sometimes places or things. It's not a fear, but an intuition or discernment that something is not right. I used to get spooked when I was a child, but...
