New Sled
So the first snow has come and gone and I figured there won’t be a better time to buy a new trail/freight sled then now, so I did. And she’s pretty, but heavier than any thing I have ever owned before. Now if the snow would just stick and build up a few feet I’ll more »

So the cabin platform is completed and so is the porch deck. Since the RV was being repaired I decided to take the dome tent and stay in that, not ever again if I can help it. The temps dropped to below freezing and the wind was gusting to 40 MPH, it was a cold more »

Well so far it’s a mooseless year and an empty freezer. Had a good time in base camp and we did see a few bulls and some cows, but nothing that anyone could get a decent shot at, so moosies your safe for another year, or at least those living in the valley we usually more »

So I got pulled for the DNR White Mountains II Staking lottery and just couldn’t pass up staking 20 acres. So Tyler and I head out Thursday night, drove up to 53.4 mile Steese and then rode the ATV’s into Jake’s cabin. We had a pleasant night and got some sleep, not a lot of more »
Share on FacebookIntro to Networking
With the growth of the Internet and lower cost of PC’s, doing a comparable summary on what to buy i.e. PC -v- Mac is almost redundant and irrelevant these days.
