Gas cans without the stupid valve thing on the spout.

I have saved three of these in my garage for years now just because I hate the new ones if I can figure out how they work.

Great heads. Killed a lot of elk with them.

Given the recent cold weather here in the east, I broke out another piece of old gear and wished they were still available - my almost 30 year old, made in Canada Sorel Dominator pac boots. I haven't worn them in forever but cannot bring myself to get rid of them because they were from the time when Sorel actually made quality products, not the fashion crap they make today. They are absolute misery to hike or walk in, but your feet absolutely, positively will not get cold! A better stand boot has never been created.

I bought a pair of Sorel boots before my first winter in Fairbanks, AK in 1994. I believe they were rated for -25 or something. They were very warm but my feet still got cold up there.

I’m 68 so I’ve seen lots of good stuff go and can’t figure it out,the absolute crap like the clothes and boots everywhere are junk compared to 30 years ago.Heck Cabelas had notable stuff then but I don’t even go into those stores anymore.

Cabelas still carries a lot of go-fast gee-whiz expensive stuff but the quality of their staples like flannel shirts and basic hunting pants, seems to have nosedived when they merged with BPS.

The hanger pants from Sitka gear, I search eBay on a by weekly basis to try and find a backup pair. These are my go to early season pants for whitetail here in NH.
