    WTS Northern California. EZGreen bow press.

    It’s been used 3x. I never bought the Hoyt adapters when I bought my Hoyt bow. Dust and cobwebs are free. I have the regular fingers and some shortys I needed for Mathews bows. I’ll never use it. Works perfectly. Been hanging in my garage for years. Time to go. I won’t ship it. It’s super heavy...

    my PCP airgun is out for turkey season.

    gah..I developed a leak. easily fixed (I think). I had to clean some O-rings and lube them up and reassemble. I have NEW O-rings at the ready if my fix didn't work. here is what I didn't think about. I use a high pressure floor pump to fill the gun. well, I;m now screwed. there is no way...

    Those slim RFID shielded wallets ?

    I kinda want one. The sea of choices; daunting. anything you like or dislike? i‘m a card user, but I still carry cash when I eat/drink with coworkers. Cash keeps me from getting hosed. “Let‘s just split this three ways”. Yea, right. I kinda like the Grip6, but that implies I need to...

    I’m actually thinking about buying a cargo van.

    It makes sense. I am an avid kayak fisherman. I can sleep at lakes and park Wake up And fish. Mountain biking. Bike is inside with me. Sleep and ride. Hunting...ahhh you get the drift. I won’t even mention the Home Depot run... pretty economical actually. A new van is $35k. Get the ford...

    You kayak fishermen. Landing net?

    I almost tipped my boat yesterday reaching way out there for a bass. Seconds before that I struggled to even reach the net since I kept it at the nose of the boat. I bought a cheap short handled net. One used by river trout fisherpeople. I needed a longer handle. I like my net. It’s rubber...

    So I buy this kayak - now I’m trying to catch largemouth bass.

    Who knew it would be so much fun? I started solo fishing when the virus locked us down. It’s a strenuous hike to get to a small park lake. Well, at least the shortcut is strenuous. I just packed in some plastic baits and an UL spinning rod setup. It was game on! Nothing bigger than 2lbs...

    Can you all recommend a fishing face mask for sun protection?

    Not for Covid. I’ve been fishing a lot. I wear a BUFFS face mask but it’s okay. Any fishing dedicated ones? My dermatologist admonished me big time. I need to take her seriously. any recommendations? The waters are so muddy now? With everyone buying face covers.

    Shooting invasive Iguanas with a pellet gun? Florida!

    Dang! the lockdown has me cruising YouTube. In Florida people are sniping the lizards with air guns. looks like a blast. I just checked and my airgun fits in my airline rifle case. is this really a thing? sanctioned by fish/game? im tempted to buy a second rifle so my brother will go...

    for the holidays, my wife bought me this Partner Steel stove. finally used it.

    last week, was wild. i was in a terrible mindset. just scattered. i was determined not to let my nuttiness torpedo my wife's hopes of going car-camping. i forgot so much stuff!! no axe for splitting big hunks of wood my boss gave me. no lantern fuel of any kind..hahaha..i did bring...

    i use chopsticks damn near daily. cooking, eating, pretending to be a walrus, ETC. (joking about the walrus tusk) i've been considering buying my own (travel) chopsticks. trying to do my part and minimize the disposable stuff in my life. (somewhat). i realized, TITANIUM ones would be a...

    Booze flask?

    I’m not a big drinker, but sometimes a flask seems like a cool idea. Long hikes. Backpack trips, etc. just wondering. Any ideas? I’ve seen very inexpensive lightweight plastic options. But what I’d I want to class it up a bit? Pewter?
