    What is this old piece of equipment?

    Looks like a secondary gear from a Donkey Engine for logging.

    Canada Border

    mtnbiker, i care for the people and the country both (they are intertwined). I am nothing if not up front. If hated Americans or America i would state that right from the get go and let the chips fall where they did. It's the extremes of the jingoistic rhetoric that is prevalent EVRYWHERE in...

    Canada Border

    I'm not saying that countries don't "do what they have to do" (mine included). You just made my point for me in relation to COVID response. We have been and are doing what the nation feels it must. And a lot of folks on this site are expressing dismay at that. I'm just pointing out the "our way...

    Snyder.....

    All that is old is new again... The original Kifaru Longhunter had two funky removable fleece panels: camo on one side and blaze orange on the other. They attached with elastic shock cord, and i ran them one time before i realized that they just increased chances for getting hung up in the thick...

    Canada Border

    It seems that when a sovereign nation executes its right to security it is applauded by the U.S. and its citizens as showing the values of freedom and democracy that are valued by them. Unless it interferes with U.S. goals. Then it is seen as not meeting those high ideals and is therefore...

    Disaster already?

    I would say it is a 50/50 split on whether they revert. I think there are two major factors: limb design (some limb designs have a cross sectional ratio that makes them more prone-wider profile/thinner lams like the early Wings) and how long has the limb had the twist. I had a 64/5 split year...

    Disaster already?

    Bumping a twisted recurve limb is no biggie. Heat up with either hot running water or a hair dryer on low. Heat evenly on belly and back, but not so much that it is too hot to touch (think chocolate cookies fresh out of the oven that are soft but cool enough to jam in your mouth without...

    What are you packing for bear defence? No hand guns allowed.

    The only time the 12 gets broken out is when i am packing meat in high density grizzly areas. Otherwise its spray. I have had a few grizzly encounters over the years, and they couldn't get away from me fast enough once they realized what i was. Having said that, as our next generation of...

    Don't put stuff on the ground next to the truck

    I wish i had the excuse of leftys and suds for running over my Husky 562XP with less than four cords of wood to its credit a few years back. Being stone cold sober just underlines the fact i may be the slowest elk in the herd.

    Rotten Death Smell

    Baking soda with hydrogen peroxide and some unscented liquid castile soap. Mix 30/60/10 in a spray bottle. Spray on until saturated. Let dry. Reapply then take back to car-wash and rinse until all residue is gone. May have to repeat. Makes the webbing and cordura slightly stiff, but it will...

    Any truth to this or bleeding heart emotion, Cascades Grizzlies

    A couple of things: The opening line refers to Grizzlies being in the Cascades for 20 000 years. It then states there are ten bears left. Error to you. The map of current grizzlies in NA was inaccurate, and quickly was passed by (my area was shown as not having g-bears, and i have encountered...

    Call the Canadian branch of BRCC in St. Albert and see if they can work a deal for you. I know they don't show it on their site, but you never know. They may be able to swing it for you.

    Anyone using HPG Umlindi

    My wife and i have both use umlindis as edc/general use recreation packs for years. I have also stripped the harness and belt off a time or three and run it on my kifaru frame. I was able to stuff an entire small boned out whitetail in mine on a late season hunt four years ago. Bomber-built...

    when the world made sense

    I was listening to the JRE podcast with Aron Snyder, and it struck me when Aron mentioned locking his rifle in his principal's office during deer season when he was a kid in high school. I had the same experience as a pup (i think i'm only about five years older than A.S.). The first day of...

    Where are the Elk

    For the kind of information you are looking for, check out Elk of North America-Ecology and Management by Thomas and Toweill. It dives deeply into how food sources/terrain/and time of year all play a role in where elk end up being. Massive tome, but well worth the read.

    Memorable lines from grandpas

    The one that sticks for me from my Gramps is "You want something to cry about? I'll give you something to cry about." He passed when i was seven, but when i start climbing up on the pity pot i reflect on that and keep on keepin' on. I had a great older gent who was like a grandpa to me that...

    Will CV19 cause War??

    "When elephants fight, it is the grass that suffers." -Kikuyu proverb War between G20 countries in the 21st century will be the last war fought not using sticks and stones. Hopefully the "leaders" know this.
