A friend who is a tent maker for historical reenactors just made this recommendation. This is a public service announcement! Please do not use Thompsons Water Seal on your tent! This product is great for your deck or concrete but it is a paraffin oil base and all you are doing is making your...

If you're curious.

A friend in the neighborhood says he's getting about 24:1 this year compared to the typical 40:1 sap/syrup ratio for silver maples. And from what he has read single trees tend to produce more than trees out in the woods. Mostly I'm just curious. He's using a pot for deep frying turkeys and it's...

There is a spring-loaded collar that engages a ratchet-like mechanism that keeps the roof from coming down. (The door frame also serves keep it up once it is in place) To lower the roof you pull back on a chain to release it and crank it down. As it is going up it seems to engage the cog or...

Going to have to get the propane stove out of the trailer. I'm going to try tapping a couple of the maple trees in the yard to boil down for a little home made syrup. I'm told the vapor from boiling can be a bit sticky, so best done outside.

Random thoughts. Grandpa's trailer design doesn't have a wiffletree. It has a long axel running from the back to the front which somehow winds the four lift cables in a balanced manner. Grandpa died when I was a teen, and I know dad couldn't quite figure out how it worked. So if it ever fails it...

Shoveled some snow so I could shift the trailer a few feet. We're adding solar panels to our garage and they need to dig a trench from the garage to the house to tie in to our electric. As soon as it's a bit warmer I'll pull one of the wheels to take to Fleet Farm, or other farm supply place to...

I confess my first thought when seeing the title was the old coin-operated "Magic Fingers" bed vibrators that used to be in cheap motels.

Most of them may need to be accessible while sitting in the driver's seat in case you have to make any adjustments, so you don't want it too low and out of sight/reach.

I've got one mounted under the steering column of my 2001 E350. I'm 6-3 and don't find it to be a problem as far as knee room.

Seems like a lot of money to spend to recover that video footage while not knowing what the quality is going to be.

I still subscribe to his channel and enjoy his cabin refurbishing episodes as much as the camping ones. If anything were to happen to the DW I'd probably live a similar lifestyle part of the year.

Kind of interesting for a DIY foldable sink.

This was an old thread, but anyone have experience with this? https://www.kiwicare.com/en-us/products/kiwi-camp-dry-heavy-duty-water-repellent

Of course, since Minnesota legalized hemp-derived THC edibles last year there has been a wave of infused THC sodas that have appeared. Some of them have been produced by local craft beer breweries "hopping" (get it? hops.... ;-) on the band wagon.

A little waffle history...

I tend to go to brandy and water if in cool weather, G&T or a gimlet in hot weather.

The layer of "insulation" finally melted and slid off last week. Just in time for a new coat of it today...

I found a NA summer lemon "shandy" beer a while ago that wasn't bad especially on a hot summer day, but haven't been able to find it again. I thought it was from St Pauli, but maybe they discontinued it.

Stepping down? There seems to be more and more brew pubs opening in our area. To quote a friend "lite" beer is just mineral water with a yeast infection
