HMMMMMM..............HOW TO START?...................been away from this site for some time. Interum consumed by raising kids, research,deaths of friends and family. The fine old wardog Cyrano in my posted pictures died in my arms of old age and the merciful needle, his friend Matilda,just as...

Been busy,and was wondering.So site is still around(sorta like me,but I've just gotten older,hairier,and closer to the ground).

Okay,I give up.The life I have lead for the last 30 or so years comes to a close,and I realize that it might be a good thing to get a TELEPHONE.No more blissfull night's sleep unintterupted by calls from friends seeking bail money,telemarketers,and people too lazy to actually come over for a...

We've all heard them,the stories about the fabled tough neighborhood/town where no-one has anything but trouble,or the locals will bust your head,or the cops will roll up on you.My fav has always been about Oregon Hill here in RVA.Everything from a Klan outpost to a secret Weatherman cell to the...

Just realized that this will be the 300th post I make.As this is the only site that I belong to,and probably the only one that would allow some of my craziness,I hope this lives up to being such an auspicious number. I'd like to pose a question:we all travel for different reasons,but...

Okay,with all apologies to all the vegans,vegetarians,and animal rights activists on this forum,I would like to find out if anyone else has been a poacher.I make no apology for eating meat,I do most all of my own killing and have a bit of contempt for those that will eat flesh but won't do the...

Ok,it's not cool or punk or whatever,but when you get a few years on ya,you get prone to fits of sentimentaliy.Soooooooooooooooo..........to all my new friends,to all my friends yet to be met,to friends long gone,where ever they may be;to the younguns out on the road,and the oldfarts wintered up...

NO,NOT TURNING TRICK! Last night I was sifting thru yet amother box of the clutter that has caught in the last decade or so,and ran across my old snow goggles.These are not the modern style with lenses,but a pair I carved along the style of a set of western First Nations goggles,which look like...

If you travel up into New Hampshire,and find yourself in the town of Warner(Wana),take the old Rt.103 out towards Bradford(Bradfad).Just past the Henniker Rd.(the only Henniker on earth!)you'll see Center Road on your right.Travel down Center,crossing the wooden one lane covered bridge until you...

Spent parts of this morning helping a kid that got jacked re-outfit,and was surprised that he had put basically EVERYTHING in his pack;and said pack was now gone.Got me to thinking how I've traveled,and how I carry things even when stationary.So I went thru my pockets ,seeing if I could have a...

Just found out that both Project Gutenburg amd the University of Penn. have put George Washington Sears book "Woodcraft" online.For those of you unfamiliar with this book,Sears was an old time woodsrunner that wrote for the leading hunting and fishing magazines of the late 1800's.His...

Decided that this would be a good place to post this old recipie.Works incredibly well,so be extra careful. the idea behind most repellants that use capsicum as the primary active ingredient is valid,but unfortunatly unless you are in the military,or a member of the law enforcement...
