We could stop at a little known pub named The Slaughtered Lamb and listen to them tell us a joke about a Brit, a Mexican and a Yank on an airplane. Then we can all take a leisurely walk on the fog draped moors at night.

Home Despot has canvas painter's drop clothes 9x12 for less then $20. ea Two of these and a good waterproofing treatment would be more than adequate for a 1-2 man tent, flaps included. For tent poles I'd suggest makeing them socketed so they can be put together and make a decent walking stick. A rea...

Several times both here and on meranger.com the subject of a primitive fishing has come up so here's a quick run down of what you can use or make to complete your kit.

I like it ! Your head cover is sweet with the quick release. I generally use a loop over button but your's is much faster both on and off.

Yeah, I've tried several times and have 2 laying around someplace. The trouble is you need a large area with 360 degrees of clearance and no one else is the surroundings. My brother Mike had gotten pretty good and could consistantly hit a posted speed sign sized target from about 50-60 ft. He used t...

Can you make a sketch of what you'd like them to look like, or copy something from one of the better moc makers' site, so we have a better idea of what you're looking for.

While I'm thinking of it, you can also easily take your old bota bottle and put a new look to it. Trace out on two pieces of leather either side of your bota bag. Leave a little extra room for expansion, when filled. Stitch both pieces together leaving about a 1/4 undone. Take the bota bag and caref...
