HotHands Handwarmers
David French from HandWarmers.net had contacted me and asked if I would mind reviewing his handwarmers, to which I agreed. I was a bit at a loss though; I received the handwarmers in late February, and all my cold-weather hunts were over for the year. I asked David what he thought and he said he [...]

Weather Exactly the Opposite for Paralympics
The slightly less popular Paralympics are getting the exact opposite weather that the Olympics suffered from. Icy conditions have caused a bus to slide off the road near Whistler, and heavy snow has been causing problems on the racecourse. At least the Paralympians don’t have to put up with that no talent clown Costas.

Chanel Giving New Meaning to ‘High-End’ Skis

Video Update On Death Of Candice Berner
Editor’s Note – Near the end of the below video, the narrator makes a statement that is not even remotely accurate. She says that Berner’s killing by wolves was one of “so few documented in the world”. That is an outrageous statement that is simply not true.

Breastfeeding and Bears
Backpacker.com’s ‘Ask a Bear‘ feature lets readers e-mail in questions that a ‘Bear’ will answer. I, of course, assumed that Backpacker used the term ‘Bear’ as it’s used in gay culture-basically to describe a large, hairy man. As such, I didn’t think that simply being a large, hairy man necessarily qualified a person to [...]

No Meat Day In Michigan = No Brains Either
Declaring a day of no meat eating by the governor of Michigan is about equal to declaring a boycott on buying clothes for a day. Stuck on stupid, political leaders can’t figure out the difference between an agenda and an act to memorialize an occasion, a person or an event even if it hit them [...]
