That's really good to know,
Thank you all, I will definitely take a look into the Stihl trimmers
Interesting, I know my neighbor has had a problem with his ECHO blower and its fuel lines.
Going to head to the local Stihl and get some info sometime soon, thanks
That's the biggest advantage I see right now too. If its the one I'm gonna buy, I definitely buy it from the local dealer (an ACE Hardware) rather than mail-order/online.
But I'm curious to...
I am looking to relace my old Craftsman weed whacker with a gas-powered one. I'm looking at:
1. ECHO SRM 225 (the one I have the most experience using- borrowed from a friend. Really liked...
I have one of these for touching up penknives that I use a lot:

But it doesn't give you a really...
Wondering what a good sharpener would be for:
Small stainless steel knife blade (Case Sodbuster, Swiss Army Knives, etc.)
Hatchets/small axes (small camper's axes and boy's axe...
Do you recommend anybody for 'custom' barrels? I have some old CVA .50's that need to be tuned up.
How did you tackle making a shelter?
Or getting food?
(just curious)
Spinners like roostertails, mepp's aglia, and blue fox vibrax are probably the best bet, because it sounds like you're not really experienced (no offense). It's hard to keep fish from not hitting...
If you're just looking for something to take with you into the woods for a few hours, like a daypack or overnight bag (not really a long-term wilderness survival bag), I think you're carrying a lot. ...
You're right, it's an awesome technique that I'm glad I took the time to focus on.
It's been a while since I've posted, I know, but I wanted to post some results-
I got the rod around the end of the summer and have been loving it ever since. In short, it's an awesome rod that...
I understand your point and I admit to buying some of the Chinese goods on ebay too, but there is something about American-made craftsmanship. I like to spend an extra dollar or two every once in a...
Good thoughts
Thank you, the leather you used looks pretty stout and durable.
Good idea. I saw a couple fly rods in the "bargain cave" last time I was at Cabela's, but nothing less than 6 - 7 wt. and under 8'6". Will keep my eye out in the future for one though.
I think you misunderstood me. I was hoping to get the rod itself for less than $100. I will pick up everything else that I need for the new setup (reel, backing, leader, etc.) once I have the rod...
After a little more in-depth research, I found the Cablea's TQR rod, which is very nice looking and has a lot of good reviews. But it's a little more than my $100 budget, so I'll probably wait until...
Nice job. Where do you get your leather?
I have a spinning rod that I like as well, especially for casting small 1/16 - 1/8 oz. roostertails and feather jigs. But I enjoy learning more about fly-fishing and using the technique.
Good thoughts. But I'm looking particularly for a short rod that's on the lighter side. The 8 ft. combo I have now is nice, but it is long and awkward to fish with in some of the backwoods ponds I...
Hello. I have been learning to fly-fish on my 8 foot, 6 wt. Martin rod, but I feel like it's a little too heavy for some of the small streams/spillways that I fish. I would like to get a 6' or...
I've gotten a couple things in the past without issue, but I'll buy stuff here in the future because of the lack of quality.
Yes, I'd probably bring more gear oriented to keeping you warm, dry, and comfortable (to some degree) than fitting gadgets into my kit. This is easier said than done though.
