    Green LED's for Hunting Applications

    Deer notice movement more than anything else. Camo patterns are made to attract hunters not deer. The best any hunter can hope for is that their camo pattern will breakup their outline. Large patterns seem to work best for this. As to what light I use, I use red or green. Doesn't really...

    My SAK preferences

    If I could combine the OHT with the Explorer, that would be my ideal SAK. I would say change the philips to an end mounted #2 driver and add a corkscrew, then add scissors. All the basic tools I need and nothing extra. I'm ok with the black scales, but yellow or red would be ok with me too...

    Alaska Experiment on Discovery Channel

    After watching last night's episode, it sounds like the Alaska Experiment may have one more episode left. That's ok though, last night's episode was rather boring. Hopefully Discovery will do another series similar to this, maybe in a different location.

    Alaska Experiment on Discovery Channel

    I'm gonna have to agree, the episode did seem very scripted. Why else would two teams decide to hike to other campsites and visit at the same time? It is somewhat hard to tell exactly how much time elapses between episodes, but I am guessing a week or so. Crossing the river with the rafts was...

    Alaska Experiment on Discovery Channel

    Anybody still watching this? I watched last night's episode and it seemed somewhat boring. They focused mainly on the one group's 40 mile hike. And that group definitely had not planned properly. Was interesting to see the effects of cabin fever and dehydration. Ah well, maybe next week's...

    Alaska Experiment on Discovery Channel

    Well for what it's worth, that same team stumbled across a fresh carcass a little while later. They called it a bison, but it was impossible to tell. There was a lot of meat left on it. But it makes me wonder if it was a "planted" carcass? In other items of note, I have been watching closely...

    Alaska Experiment on Discovery Channel

    This show continues to keep my curiosity. This week's episode had a few interesting events. It looks like the guide/outfitter has equipped each team with a single shot 22. It was humorous when one team acted like they were going to take a bison with the 22. I noticed that the team living in...

    Alaska Experiment on Discovery Channel

    I believe that is correct. I did find this http://www.wildlife.alaska.gov/regulations/pdfs/general.pdf and it notes on page 16 the rules for flying. There are probably more extensive definitions of this somewhere else in the regulations. Also here is the main page for Alaska regulations...

    Alaska Experiment on Discovery Channel

    I think I'm going to stick with this series for now. It's definitely way better than CBS's Survivor, which is essentially a game show out in the woods/beach. The goat hunt was pretty cool, although I did cringe every time the guy wanted to use the rifle for hiking pole. I'm not sure exactly...

    Blade material, I am all confused now: AUS4, 6, 8, 440B, 440C???

    I used to obsess over blade steels, but now I have decided that as long as I buy quality blade steels it doesn't really matter which one. For 99% of users, they will not be able to tell the difference between AUS-6 and S30V. Aside from blade steel, handle ergonomics is the other aspect I look...

    Question for Private Pilots

    Most pilots carry a light in their flight bag or should. Pre-flight checks in low light conditions are one of the main reasons. The other main reason is nighttime navigation. Most of the pilots I know want very specific things out of their lights. Most pilots use green or red and they have...

    SAK -- Victorinox Soldier

    Another thought on the Soldier, is that it lacks a keyring. The Wenger version called the Standard Issue is the same as the Soldier but has a bail on one end. It works quite well, but the only drawback is sometimes when closing the blade it can impact the bail and cause nicks in the blade, so...

    Question about Apollo lights

    In a lot of the old NASA video footage from the Apollo missions there is a small flashlight used by the astronauts. Does anybody know much about these lights? How many were made? What battery type they used? etc? Here is the only info I have been able to find about them on the net so far...

    Brick and Mortar frustrations.

    I do most of my Christmas shopping online. This year I happened to have two orders that required some support after the items arrived. One item was damaged. I had a replacement at my doorstep 3 days later. And all it took was one 5 minute phone call. The other order I had a problem with was...
