Skinner…sounds like a big disconnect with the law. Trespassing in a house with a firearm I see a felony and depending on the house the coroner. But in the woods that is simply silly. Especially if the land owners are not properly posting the property. Yes we should know where we are but things happen and you get off track. If you cross onto another property with no signage then the fault is not yours. Here in PA if it isnt properly posted then there is no trespassing. Stricky speaking of outdoor areas that is. But I like the gps for the property line knowledge as well.

Mike I am a big fan of the map and compass. The batteries never die. 😀

Jim that is really cool. That ground blind construction should be on the other thread for ground blinds. 😀 Thanks for sharing.

Jim Corbett’s book Jungle Lore has some great examples of using animal and bird sounds to determine what is going on around you. Great article thanks for sharing.

Thanks to all that have served and to those that have given pieces and those that gave everything. My family and I truly appreciate the freedoms we have because of such great men.

Mike and Wojo I truly enjoy our friendship and I am honored to be counted above.

Some more good info. My good friend got lymes and the docs thought he had cancer at first. But it took many test to figure it was lymes. Test still are crappy but some researchers are taking lab born ticks and attaching them to people and then testing the tick. Turns out it is much easier to tell if the tick is infected. Early detection is key as it can be cured. My buddy took 9 months of some serious antibiotics to rid his body. He didn’t catch it early. Never saw the tick that bit him. Prevention is the key as well as early detection. Good luck with the testing!

I use Sawyer’s spray on all my cloth gear. I treat my packs and outer camo once a year. I have specific clothes I only wear for outdooor activities and I treat that as needed. Sawyers last about 6 washes. I spray my boots as well. But I always wear a base layer of some type and also I dry my clothes on high for over an hour which kills the little ones that stuck around. I also do complete tick checks (with the wife involved :D)as well. If you get them in the first 48 hours you can prevent lymes disease from setting in. I have gotten two tick bites. But it was because I ignored my own process. Lucky the tick checks got the bastards quickly.

in reply to: Tendonitis? #58562

I had the issue a few years ago. I did several exersices aimed at strengthening the tendon itself. I did them every few hours for weeks and it solved the problem for me. One exercise is using a rubberband wrapped around your fingers. Extend your arm straight and lock your elbow and then flex your fingers apart. Tilting your hand back toward your arm changes what is being worked as well. I found a lot of exercises on line and it worked for me. Good luck!
