I'll take a different tack,i suspect cold isnt your problem,just aggravates it. When its cold out I like to wear Refrigiwear insulated gloves,cheap and good.Poly liners underneath,change out liners and gloves with sweat. They make a style with silicone(or maybe ruber) dipped palms too,you...

Yesterday i finished a working on a raised crib made from peeled spruce poles,it should hold 4+ cords.Trimmed up the ends of the deck logs some,a job easily suited to the 026 that Ive been using since I started. For grins thought Id pull out the 372,ignored and very cold (-10 to 8+). Now Im...

Finally got around to dumping the OEM turdball 2 screw carb last year.New Walbro cost me $40,thats 40 here in AK.Id be surprised if it cost you more than $30 with duckets left over for a 6-pack refreshment. ak4195

DANG,what a great SIMPLE idea,oh and CHEAP.Ive got hrs and hrs into building a wood deck,and Im probably only 2/3's done. Peeled black spruce poles on a peeled pole frame.NOtched end posts & stanchins(sp?),what a pain in the gluteous.It will hold 4+ cords when finished...

There are Moose ticks,but they dont dine on humanoids.Ive personally never seen one,and spent bazillion hours in the hay fields/back woods with the devil dawgs. While ive never had the fortune to experience leeches,ticks so far are the worste.High summer in OR was tick season and meant you had...

Headlamp,simple ones without the 5 settings.The modern LED ones work great for hrs and hrs as long as you dont need to throw a beam long distance(say over 25').Its to bad they dont make longer tethers for the bat pack like the old ones that went either hanging inside your coat or somewhere on...
