I got the 62st at half the cost of the 64st - and I'm more than pleased with the performance. It's working out very well for me since with regrowth of logged off areas, it's very difficult (impossible) to get enough line of sight to use compass map coordinates. I use the tracking feature to mark...

I think that I'm with countryman. There again my knowledge of deer tracks in Europe is a faint memory. Here I would say load the rifle and go in search of better tracks, which you will surely find. That might not be the best idea in your circumstance, because pigs are smart if you find you are...

The old YHA credo - we provide the accommodation, and you by your own sweat get there and provide your own sheet sleeping bag of course. I seem to remember some outrage at adding arrival by horse, but since no one in my experience came galloping up, that was soon forgotten. It was only after I...

I'd forgotten to add something important. My friends' daughter took a position between here and Prince George and so went there with her new VW Golf with the 2.5 motor and unfortunately an integrated theft prevention device. Well in -30C the car didn't start and with the big motor the...

And I say that biking is just as purist as other forms of transport. Back when Nessmuk was going on about light canoes interest suddenly dropped to zero because of the bicycle. Back then a bike was a wonder since it didn't need a stable, or feeding - and on a bike you can go further in a day...

Yep those are the ones, and mine are from that date too, as that's when my grand-daughter came out to live with me for a while. I found them incredible for camera work, since there were no failing cells and so no interruptions. And the digital camera of the time was the Sony Mavica which...

Super tutorial Adze! That's the only method I'd use with paracord around my neck... The only thing worth adding is no matter what you use, check that the method works first - for the actual cordage you are using..

I'm not sure about the ethics of trapping mosquitoes that way... Any trap requiring a little extra heat and lots of carbon dioxide production should also be required to involve a carboy full of fermenting beer or at least some rising bread dough. I guess more seriously, that these traps work...

I'm using the Panasonic branded enerloop pro's and they are great so far! The big issue is that while enerloops were once made by a few factories in Japan and were all of consistently high quality, now some are made in China, and it seems to be taking some time to get the consistency of...

Now we might get somewhere! What you have there with the dirty power and climate is called a "hostile environment". While there are no bullets flying overhead, the combination of electrical low voltages and spikes are going to do a very thorough job on your electronics in the house if they...

Just be careful! Things can go so wrong when you try stuff for the first time..... Glasses and fire retardant clothing!

I haven't seen my favourite mentioned, the cowboy hat made out of tightly woven straw. I shall make a special note and get another when I'm back on the prairies. Now that is a hat which works when you are working hard in high temps and sunlight! Where I actually live, on the coast, then I...

I see they sell them there now! I heard that "Sweet Afton" cigarettes and black shag pipe tobacco are gone now too. Ireland is where I learned to love those little steel covers for pipe bowls, so that you could smoke in the rain.. Happy days back then.... Anyway for some real pyrotechnics...

My grand-niece did the awards and had a great time, so congrats to instructors/supervisors! I can certainly see where managing the participants is a task. Over here my grand-son is in cadets and swim club, and so is with other motivated people. I sure support the leaders in anything they want...

Exactly my thought, and in that place I'd bet on it. While I know a bit about power conditioning for a specific device like a computer, that wouldn't help for other devices in a house. I can ask my electrician kids about that. Since I live in the north, too, I can understand the...

That would be my concern with knife use, too. I use various sprays to lubricate protect guns, and those have always worked well. I also have spray on wax lubricant for processing (resizing) large numbers of cartridge cases for reloading, and the latter is extremely slippery! With knives and...

I've used steel wedges set up that way, and as Dave pointed out it's common to see them in hydraulic splitters. I simply can't see it working well on an axe unless only one type and size of (easily split) wood was processed. With such a setup, the amount of force required changes dramatically...

Thanks for reminding me. I'd put off getting those because I never found a good online deal for where I live. So I checked today and found some on the last day of a sale - still $19, but that's better than $27 a pack! Thanks ADz, that's exactly what I wanted to know. Since I presently have an...

Thanks, I really liked that video!

Those are sure my concerns too! If I was turning on my unit to see where I was, or leaving it on to occasionally check locations and bearing, then battery life seems good. The problem comes with mapping tracks, which seems to be working well, but obviously battery life is shortened considerably...
