Winter Red King

28 years, 2 service branches, Service in Lebanon, Desert Storm and Somalia. Two sons serving; one very, very great wife. All three of us heading overseas on the next rotation (its much harder being the father of a soldier(s), to all parents and spouses...I now understand) Grandfather - 30...

I like my IE because of its simplicity, it can slog through the rough stuff at a slow speed when some of the other faster browsers head for home, and I can customise it to reflect my individuality and needs. S N A P !!

Give me a V Twin and lots of chrome. We were experimenting with multi-fuel bikes for messenger and recon use when I was in the Marine Corps and we ended up going back to gas. Diesels have torque and longevity but are slow reving, peaky, and need cleaner fuel than required for gas.

Wow, awesome pics from Kaktovik. I love the workboat look of the Classics. Do you have any more pictures of these boats?

Thanks for all the responses. I had a hydraulic drum windlass on my trawler and I have used various electric windlasses on different boats in the past but was looking forward to the simplicity of a manual; partly because I didnt want a large motor intruding into the V-berth. I will admit though...

After pulling out both my anchor and back a couple of weeks ago I am looking to install a windlass over the winter and was wondering if anyone has any experience with manual winlasses. I like the look and simplicity of the Lewmar manual which is compact and uses a sailboat winch handle and would...

Last year I was by myself walking to the MOUT facility on Fort Richardson to link up with my unit when I had a moose start following me down the road. He seemed to be getting agitated and everytime I stopped and stepped into the woods to let him go by he would stop too. Now, I had a full...

Oct 05, Sunny and 36 degrees.

Had to weigh in on this one. I run a single 90 hp Suzuki with a 9.9 kicker for many of the reasons previously stated. There is so much flotsom in the water up here that it is not inconceivable or even rare to hit a log/branch/whatever and damage the prop or lower unit. With twins you have a good...

Porta Potti is the way to go for simplicity; nothing to clog or break, no twisting into bizzarre angles trying to fix something. We too usually move the porta potti onto the aft deck at night unless its just realy cold out and as Redfox stated, nothing is better than having a view while you doo...

Boy I agree on the crab; we just dropped them live into a pot of boiling water with some Old Bay and lemmons and had a mini feast. We are going to put out our King pots next weekend but I like dungeness the best. Its windy here now (not 70 yet), rainy, about 39 degrees, hot dogs and beans in...
