When we bought our house the lint trap on the drier had a small burn mark on it. The previous owners must have not been paying attention too close. I will sometimes forget to clean it after every load and my wife gets on me about it from time to time. Now I sometimes check it when in the laundry...
I have the ferro rod, storm proof matches, and lighters in my pack. I normally only hunt somewhere within a mile or so of a road but it wouldnt take much to be in a bad spot and no cell reception. I was thinking I was prepared but might want to add some kind of firestarter and also practice in...

Started with Montec G5 but was having issues with groups. Later learned that was more the older bow I started with and my inexperience. I then moved on to Slick Trick Grizz Trick with grouped better. I now have newer bow and use the Slick Trick Viper Trick which group the best and just about...
Elite Energy 35. Second bow I have owned and love the smooth draw and release. Haven't had much experience with other bows but no plans to switch anytime soon.
