    your favorite .22 ....rifle AND pistol

    Gotta love the Rugers for a rifle. Had one in Canada but haven't picked another up in the States yet. I do have an old Remington from .1934 I picked up at an auction. Thing is accurate, but the stock is pretty rough. I will redo it one of these days. This is my recent favorite .22 handgun...

    Wood transom ??

    It doesn't matter what kind of plywood you use, you should be treating it. Use a spar urethane or epoxy. Do not use pressure treated wood at all.

    Camping Tools

    I have the $14 blue pad from Walmart, i think it was the middle of their line; it was not enough for a good nights sleep...I was able to sleep decent enough but still woke up a few times. My wife hated it.

    Camping Tools

    This is my wife's favorite tool - she said she wanted something she could defend herself with if I was away from camp or she had to kill a snake (she hates snakes).

    Camping Tools

    This is our setup. I'll tell you one thing, the desert ground sure is a lot harder than the gassy stuff up home in Canada. The cheap ground mat just doesn't seem to be cutting it over here.

    Alright, here we go...

    I would probably vote for leaving the rails smooth as well. Of course this is personal preference - I would only have done the floor in it. Main thing is that it suites you and you are happy being out in it. Thumbs up.

    Coleman lanterns and stoves

    Thanks! I have looked it over pretty good and no sign of any date stamp on the usual places. From what I understand it happened sometimes in the fifties that they didn't get a stamp... I didn't even look at it before I bought it - it saw it was in the box still and the one end that I could...

    Coleman lanterns and stoves

    Check out today's find...should be a vintage Coleman lovers dream. It's a Coleman 413E - no date stamp but they were early 50's to 1960, eh? An estate sale for $10!

    **CAUTION** Ugly toe pics! lol

    Yah I have done the toe thing and actually had the nail bust off below the base...whole nail ended up coming off. I have also had the nails removed by the doctors a few times...that sucks too.

    Free Bait!

    Got mine today - the same Asai shad that James got....will post a pic maybe tomorrow. Still no sign of the hooks though - which is funny because I signed up for that first.

    Should I Buy ?

    Yah....if it was free I would probably take it and sell it for $50. ;) Seriously though - wait for what you want...no point in just getting something else to be unhappy with.

    3m 5200 surprises

    Yep...it'll do you just fine. Lots of us use it for various purposes including small holes on a vertical surface...ie behind the transom.
