DIY Stabilizer
By Jerry Long, July 13, 2010 Is it really necessary to spend $75 or $175 on a TV antenna, GPS, marriage counseling, toast making stabilizer? Back around 2002 I started looking for a new stabilizer. I was always a fan of the old Saunder’s Torque Tamer, but boy was that thing heavy and mine had [...]

Retro Park Ranger
Good ol’ Cold Splinters fished up some 70s- and 80s-era National Park Ranger photos that make the job look like some kind of American Apparel Summer Camp. Now I’m thinking about going as a Ranger for when Halloween rolls around. It seems one of the classic poses during Ranger photo ops is ‘pretend to [...]

Cloud Bashful

GaperGuide for National Park Tourists is Not a Parody
Either I’m the victim of a very professionally done parody, or the GaperGuide is a real product. According to their video, you pick up the GaperGuide gas stations or outdoor stores that are points of entry to Grand Teton or Yellowstone. You plug it into your cigarette lighter, and it uses GPS to give [...]

Federal Judge Bans Personal Watercraft at Gulf Islands National Seashore and Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore
A federal judge tossed out rules that had been enacted during the Bush administration allowing people to use jet skis in a couple national parks. This is similar to the whole snowmobiles-in-Yellowstone thing except, well, no one really gets too upset about losing their rights to jet ski in a national park. In her [...]

Dyneema vs Nylon Sling Drop Test
I have this notion that climbing gear is built to such wildly high specifications that there’s no way anything could ever break. Sure, if I accidentally tied off to the gear slings on the side of my harness at a belay station, I wouldn’t expect that to hold, but you expect Dyneema slings to [...]

NRA Continues To Anger Some On The Right
Politico takes another look at how the NRA’s actions of late has angered some on the right.

Wild Boar Burgers… At Fuddruckers?
I’m not sure how widespread the Fuddruckers burger chain is, but there’s one near me and I have to say it’s not bad. They’re one of these places that basically cooks up the burger, slaps it on a bun, and then sends you off to their condiments bar to load it up to your delight. [...]

Hunting Diary 2010
Went out tonight with the Sun shining in town, but by the time I was out at the ranch the high clouds had rolled in again. The wind was steady so hiked around the ridge I went up the first day and hunkered down in the wild oats with a small blackberry bush to break [...]
