I bought a Kodiak spring bar tent 10x14 this summer.

We took it elk hunting and loved it.

we bought nice cabelas oversize cots with thickpads, set a yeti cooler in the floor and put the Mr. buddy on it with in reach of the cot and it literally would heat it up in 5 min.

we slept with it off ...

Does anyone have any tire / rims ?

just wax it. use johnson paste wax, or for a harder finish you can use carnauba wax

you can rub it on and buff it off, or you can heat some in a crock pot brush it on and then buff it after it dries.

it is a high quality finish and will last forever, and it will keep the natural look of the wood.

I'm headed to NM. Sept 15-22

I've had Leupolds, still got them. 10x42 gold rings. they are decent.


however - i bought a pair of swarovski 10x42 EL's and there is absolulty no comparison.

If i were getting a new pair, it would be Vortex, Meopta, Zeiss, or if you have some $$$ to spend get the Swaro's

what are some must do's?

me and the wife headed there to celebrate our 10 years of marriage.

Staying at a VRBO rental at Fire side resort for three nights, at Yellowstone one night, and at Hotel Jackson down town three nights.

any recommendations?

it has done well. i got a few pics, i'll try to get them posted.

Was planning on buying a jeep this summer to ride around with the top down and check trail cameras, hit dirt roads and later afternoon fishing holes.

instead i figure its time to be responsible and take that money and start planning.

Looking at MACS and IMPACT programs - my mom did this for me ...

I helped coach Tee ball once. and every time a little girl put on a helmet she decided the ram all the coaches in the nuts. her parents never once looked up from there iphones......

its strictly political. just another way for money to change hands...... usually in vast amounts.

i ate some fried tenderloin last night. i perfer to eat it over deer meat.

go to meat eater and look up his recipie for smoked shoulder...

i'm pretty sure this is the straw that broke the camels back.

we are talking about shrubs........

Skin glued and stapled on.

i did some more testing on the FRP and PVC.

i found that cleaning both very good with PVC cleaner or acetone, then using plenty of PVC glue worked really really good. the two cannot be sperated after cured.

the trick was to put the two textured sides together with ...

once the bottom is fitted. the two side pieces will be joined together with a piece of PVC board attached to the end. then taped and glassed.

Taped the ends together and stretched her out.

Plan on a 30" bottom. And maybe around 36" at the top. That is what it is in the pic.
