    Weather Station ideas?

    Ran Davis weather instruments for years on fire lookouts. The only one I know that quit was hit with slurry during a fire close to the lookout. It got painted red along with my windows.

    Grew up East of Emmett. Lived about 6 miles East of where I grew up for 35 years.. Then the old place behind us got subdivided. We needed a new house. So it was a whole lot easier to move. Still live in Idaho but just far enough Western Idaho doesn't show up too much. And Yes, I grumbled real...

    Any Boise, Idahoans out there?

    I'm in my middle 60's and I'm running out of steam and drive to chase elk. We have no kids or young guns to helps us out. I'll still be out there deer hunting and grouse hunting and rock hunting. Elk are just too dam hard to hunt and haul out if you don't have a army to help you. No, we have no...

    Any Boise, Idahoans out there?

    All of you are newbies. None of you have lived here over 30 years. I was priced out of housing the minute I graduated high school in '76, at the first wave of Californians. We left the valley 10 years ago and very glad we jumped when we did. Idaho isn't what everyone thinks it is. It's now...

    April 8th Eclipse

    the last eclipse in Idaho was a zoo. Don't laugh because it's going to happen. Maybe not that many people but there will be enough for you to pull your hair out. We were on high alert with all the people and where they drove and parked hot exhausted cars. We got lucky and didn't get any...

    Need powerful electric chainsaw

    We thought long and hard about packing a battery operated chainsaw. But didn't want to deal with bar oil and batteries. We went with a Kantana Silky saw. They are so sharp they will saw through a tree as fast as you can pull. It doesn't take up any room in the UTV. Something to think about.

    Handy Kitchen Gadgets

    Forgot just bought a new frying pan from "Made It" carbon steel. It's taken a little bit of time to get it broken in and use to using it. Cooks just like cast iron but lighter. It does heat faster so learning to turn the heat down. Check them out pricey but I'm liking it.

    Handy Kitchen Gadgets

    I have an old steel hand made wok I bought 40 years ago. It came with 3 implements and I still use it. It was at a spring sports show and wasn't that much money. My 4 Ninja products, the air fryer-pressure canner, air grill and their toaster oven and a food processor. The food processor makes...

I've shot 4 cow elk longest so far has been 529 yards. Dropped it. Closest has been 250 yards. Dropped it too. Teach them...

    Kenetrek 7” vs 10”

    Other half has both and he says the hardscrabble does not feel or act like the Mountain hunter extreme. They are stiffer and doesn't grip the rocks like the ME. Also if you have bad ankles you really need the 10" height for the support. I know because I have bad ankles.
