    Best all around hunting knife?

    That is just like my Ken Onion. I usually take it with me if I am dressed up because it is thinner and 4/10th of an ounce lighter that my Schrade. Don't usually take it out on the boat for fear of losing it and it cost me more than any other pocket knife I own.

    Best all around hunting knife?

    Used to carry an Old Timer folding 3 inch, now a Schrade (Buck Style) 3 inch, or on occasion a Ken Onion 3 1/2 thumb flip. Back in my working days I have gutted up to 7 deer in one night. Teamed up with a game guy who probably confiscated more deer from poachers than any other warden in...

    Chainsaw cutting lube in a pinch

    I have never had a nose sprocket go bad. The only time I ever grease one would be after cleaning the bar in solvent to clean it up before filing it back square. Just to prevent rusting the bearing as it may spend weeks in the back of the truck before being put back in use. I don't baby my...

    Chainsaw cutting lube in a pinch

    Tip of the day. Many casual chainsaw owners are not aware of the grease hole for the clutch bearing. A hit of grease now and then is all it takes. Even when I am using my saws on a regular basis I only hit them every month or two. www.youtube.com/watch?v=80UMQQtYuqM

    Chainsaw cutting lube in a pinch

    Get on one of the arborist or chainsaw forums and you will find that 75% of the content is "What is the best 2 stroke oil", "Is it necessary to grease the sprocket on the bar", and "Used motor oil for bar oil". Similar to boating forums except Pennzoil doesn't make bar oil but there never is a...

    Chainsaw cutting lube in a pinch

    I would go with the used motor oil. I know cutters that have used it for years. I have often used it myself. There is a downside if you are cutting eight hours a day your jeans get very dirty. You get new oil on your jeans but it doesn't show as much. To paraphrase a regular contributor to...

    What puzzles me is that I have never met a "Troy" but everybody I have ever fished with says they know at least one.

    Anyone know What these are????

    Color Black Brand ASelected Material Cast Iron, Metal Straight cast iron does not take well to bending stress. Also will not let the joint maintain a natural arc if it is strong enough to not break under the load. If they are malleable cast iron they may work.

    Anyone know What these are????

    Started to think about this and once again more questions this answers. Treating it as an arch made me wonder how the loads and stress varied as the width increased i.e. 5 feet to 10 feet with no increase in cross sectional area of the battens. The result of the half hour or so I spent looking...

    Ice Fishing

    For the last two years the ice fishing season has lasted about a week on my home lake in Central Pennsylvania. And then not for the faint of heart since a week ago Saturday only two (or possibly three depending on which report) fell through. The bright side it has been the first time in 55...
