    Best sharpening system for fixed blade Broadheads.

    Pensar knife sharpening system on amazon = $40 = SHARP Add stropping with cereal box cardboard and buffing compound = REAL SHARP I just checked my cutthroats which I sharpened in Feb and I easily dry shaved arm hair.

    Tired of rock climbing w/ Tony; gonna start climbing trees with Newman in the Pacific NW

    Welcome from Western IL! All the rage with saddle hunters around here is eating candy bars with fork and knife.

    Rappel rope length?

    Same as above; but when you Do Decide to cut it into 2 ropes, just heat treat the ends and shrink wrap. Also be sure to make the longer of the 2 long enough - it adds a level of difficulty to repel when there is a knot part way down. Speaking of knots - don't forget a stopper knot. You must have...

    Anybody ever help start up a public archery range?

    No help here; but keep good notes please. This could be a great resource if enough info is collected here. I did spend 3 weeks in the KC area working a farm and found a local outdoor range there. Here is the address. Field Archery Range, 14406 Smart Rd, Greenwood, MO 64034 and link info...

    Drying time & method for milkweed pods

    Some good info guys. Like I say, it is not an issue for me this year b/c I will not start my season until October and I could have went straight to pods on the way to a stand. I really am looking for solutions, ideas and data on what is too early and will not produce usable floss from milkweed...

    Drying time & method for milkweed pods

    So here is what I have so far. Dehydrator method: Picked pods green on Aug 30th in Hancock Co IL. Pods were dripping latex. We have had little to no rain for three to five weeks, so this may be a contributing factor for successful drying this year. Arranged the pods out evenly on one tray in...

    So I have found a fair amount of pods this year and wanted to find out what is required for drying times and various methods. This is not an end point, but rather a initial beginning place for the general discussion. I will post my results when I get the pics loaded and the general procedure...

    Milkweed Mailbox

    Spent countless days of my youth digging thistles out by hand with a shovel in whatever pasture dad sent me to. Please do not spread any of that devil seed. Just as a primer - ALL Thistle family members are on the USDA Noxious Weeds list and federal regulations would frown on spreading it...

    Sean's outdoors climbing method

    The idea is a new one to me. It resembles a WE step of some type with the three contact points. "What would I do different" with the anchor; install a $2 tube plug (I am sure that was in the works anyway) and run a self tapping bolt through the lower end of the tube to reduce side movement on...
