    Home-based Firefighting Equipment

    Home-based Firefighting Equipment

    over twenty years ago the floto pump was standard equipment on every CDF (now Cal-Fire) engine. I have a pool now and trying to find a used one. They are simple, self priming, pull the chord and go pumps...

    Scottsdale AZ in late March

    i just got back from there. There are a lot of cool regional parks to go hike around. Its a little different than what i typically encounter at areas like this.. seeing Rolls Royce's, Bentleys and other super high end cars parked at the trail heads kind of threw me for a loop. I did not know...

    Family Spring Break trip out west

    trying to do too much in a one week period of time can be pretty overwhelming. I had friends come out one year and the list of places they wanted to see were hundreds of miles apart. I think sometimes people forget just how big the states are out here. Pick a spot, and explore it. Wyoming...

    Kauai fishing

    it ended up being an absolute waste of money and time. I spend a good deal of time fishing the southern california/mexico fishery where we catch more, bigger and better fish. The hawaii way of charter fishing is an absolute scam. It was a stupid expensive boat ride. I know this is how most...

    Lessons from a wildfire

    Lessons from a wildfire

    I predict the next place this happens is the East Bay, Concord, Black Hawk, Lafayette, Castro Valley, Hayward, Milpitis area. There are thousands of homes in there and everyone of them is surrounded by oaks, grass, chaparral. It will go up in flames again. The Oakland hills fire will look like...

    Sitka shipping restrictions to CA and NY

    I have a friend who is in the finance industry and he handles some huge money clients...including people associated with KUIU, based on what he tells me KUIU is in the process of being sold to a much larger group. But it looks like they have already phased out or never used the PFA's that are...

    Sitka shipping restrictions to CA and NY

    found it... California. California's Assembly Bill (AB) No. 1817[1] prohibits the manufacture, distribution, sale, or offer for sale of any new textile articles containing regulated PFAS within the state beginning January 1, 2025 Simms has the same disclaimer now and it all appears to be on Gore...

    Sitka shipping restrictions to CA and NY

    the crazy thing is that it just appears to be a Sitka thing. No one else seems to have issue, there is no new regulation that should impact clothing shipped into ca that I can find or anything. And why are the other outdoor gear dealers not impacted? something is weird.
