Great Neck Marine Tool Set

Great Neck Marine Tool Set MS125 Every boater needs a tool set to keep in the boat and the Great Neck MS125 is a good choice. It comes in a floating yellow box and includes everything you are likely to need for repairs on the water. The tool set is fairly inexpensive so you can leave it in your boat. That way it won't be somewhere else when you need it. Althought the tools will not hold up to constant use they will work fine to get you out of trouble on the water.

Free iPhone/iPod Touch app: What Knot to do

Here's something nifty... a handy-dandy application to teach you how to tie all kinds of different knots, which I've noticed is something many folks have trouble with. And guess what? It's free! Ain't that nice?

This app is provided by Columbia Sportswear. They say it contains info on 70 knots, including step-by-step instructions and illustrations. I checked out some of 'em, and the instructions seem pretty easy to follow. Check it out if you've got an iPhone or iPod Touch, and want to learn how to tie some nifty and useful knots.

Review: Eureka! Centerfire Sleeping Bag +15

Once upon a time, back in the long-lost 1980s, I found a wonderful sleeping bag, and bought it. Dad liked it so much that he bought one, too. We used them for years - heck, I still use mine whenever I'm at our camp in middle Georgia.

They're no longer available these days, so off & on I wondered if there was still a really good oversized sleeping bag on the market. Turns out, there is - and I like mine even better than my old original bag.

The Eureka Centerfire +15 sleeping bag is big, tough, comfy, and nice-looking. I really like mine. Check out the review to learn more.

Book Review: Ken Waters' Pet Loads

Ken Waters' Pet Loads


"Ken Waters' Pet Loads" is a very thorough collection of load info, with a wealth of practical advice and information included. There are many cartridges covered here, but if you're looking for the newest cartridges, chances are you should look elsewhere and/or buy the latest supplements to this book.

I think the part I like the best is Waters' straight-talking way - as you may know, that's the way I like to communicate myself. Ken Waters knows his stuff, and he's not afraid to share his valuable info and viewpoint.
