    Hatchet or machete?

    I have one myself. It‘s great for many chores under the sun: weeding, rooting, chopping, slaughtering, hammering, etc. Also, being history buff, I was intrigued by the fact it is an iconic American invention and mass produced for, and issued to the American Pacific forces, for use in the...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Great job! I had an ’84 Wagoneer with manual 3-speed V-8, for about 6 years. I miss that ol’ beast!

Thus, I fabricated my own on the apartment kitchen counter. Good thing my very understanding wife was not home! While...

    Let’s talk Coolers:

    Hmmm, inexpensive....Well, I have dealt with this issue for years! Eventually, I just got tired of spending $$$$ on cheap styrofoam or “made in China” coolers and patiently hoarded monies until I was able to buy a cooler that shall last me a lifetime. Buying cheap coolers over and over again...
