Re: scent control
Spent many years being OCD about scent control. Gave it all up and just play the wind - far less hassle. No difference in my success rates since i gave it up - see just as many and kill just as many wearing stinky dirty unwashed clothes while smoking cohibas. Wind is all that matters as far as i can...

Nasty downburst
Had a thunderstorm yesterday afternoon with a very localized downburst. Split a locust tree in half next to our deck. Planted that tree as a seedling 32 years ago 6 years before i even built the deck knowing exactly where i wanted it to provide shade from the afternoon sun while sitting on the futur...

Zodiac Repair
When i put the Zodiac in the water after ice out this year the retaining nut on one of the inflation valves somehow worked it self loose. The nut is inside the tube and secures the threaded valve spindle against a flange which is part of the valve body and a gasket to seal the hole. The boat has 6 c...

Re: RevX has arrived!
The camo pattern on this Revx is outstanding! https://images2.imgbox.com/90/d8/5fsiELF6_o.jpeg https://images2.imgbox.com/cc/e4/lSy5fbM6_o.jpeg You using that on your Temagami bear? I am trying the Assasin Extreme on bear this year. Don't think Jeff ever said here in this thread that he got one. Th...

Re: Off Grid Abitibi for end of Season Win
How was the break-in fuel mileage? Do you like the KUIU pants? My favorite clothing brand I might add. So not done the break in yet - only had the truck for 8 days. Unloaded on the highway the milage is currently about 10% worse than my old truck. Right now new truck it is getting about 12.5 L/100....

Re: Off Grid Abitibi for end of Season Win
You likely know the drill to bleed air out of a diesel fuel line if you run the engine out of fuel. Nice fishing. You make me jealous. My fishing buddy died of cancer a couple of years ago and I've hardly winter fished since then. Yeah been there done that with the diesel. Sorry to hear about your ...

Off Grid Abitibi for end of Season Win
Sunday morning at 1130 my nephew and i hit the road bound for Abitibi. Had to make a 45 minute pit stop at the cottage to pickup gear and had a few anxious moments with the truck. Truck is brand new and i misjudged the range and we almost ran out of diesel in the middle of nowhere. Found some with l...

New Rig - Probs my last oil burner
Picked it up Thursday. 2024 Silverado 2500 HD Diesel, ZR2 Trim - plates, dampers and e-locker all riding on 35s. My old duramax had 541k on it, owed me nothing and they still gave my 10G for it. Spidy sense was tingling and felt like the old truck was gonna strand me somewhere a thousand miles off-g...

Re: Canning Venison ?
You need some newfs to chime in. Newfie bottled moose, rabbit or seal (limit of my experience) is awesome. Put it on crackers and few things can rival it. Damn been a few years - gonna have to look up my buds in T'bay and stock up.

Re: Sometimes you lose
Thanks for the kind words guys. As it turns out even with the helmet on i knocked my noggin pretty good - have to buy a new helmet next week. Concussed apparently. Taking it easy this week, no real pain or anything but can't focus very well and lose my train of thought pretty easy (well easier than ...

Sometimes you lose
Most of the time we post our wins. But every once in while good to post a loss - helps keep my ego in check. Kinda like that time with the thumb some of you may recall. So Sunday - Still lots of ice on Nip but I knew there was a high probability of open cracks after the thaw but not really bothered ...
