Just got word from a buddy I fish with. His house along the Yakima is flooded, he’s heading there now but no idea if he can even reach the house. His flood insurance was cancelled last year even though he’s never been flooded before.

The last saw I bought was just over 20 years ago. Still goes to camp every year in addition to cutting 5 or six cords of fire wood a year. Stihl MS 310. Still runs like a champ. Came upon a couple of guys cutting camp wood during my trip to Montana this year. They were doing pretty good with one...

Back in the day I carried old socks or small stuff sacks filled with dry beans for a rear rest. Easy to manipulate to quickly gain or loose elevation at the muzzle. For a front rest I liked rice as a filler as it was denser but still allowed the forearm to settle in. Of course this goes back to...
Life’s sudden changes; Our Son In Law has been given 6 to 9 months to live. He was diagnosed with cancer less than a year ago. He is in his mid 40s. All his organs are now affected.
A career in law enforcement had me dealing with death on a weekly basis, I have heard the bone chilling wail of...
