Vacuum bag is what they mean. You glass something and while the glue is still wet you put it in a big platic bag and suck the air out. This queezes the adhesive and helps make sure it saturates the…   Read more»

Haven’t done much of the ‘big party’ camping, sounds like y’all have had some fun out there. But we’ve come full circle on this,,, or should I say 2 full circles at my age. Started with ‘backpacking’ in our young…   Read more»

I would agree with what you are saying with an exception. When I am going to fly rockets and camp, especially at MHM or Oktoberfest, I end up taking more gear than I need because I do not know if…   Read more»

I have ALWAYS eaten better on the river than at home and always seem to come home at least a few pounds heavier. Like I said, I’ve been practicing this since the late 80’s when I started running river trips…   Read more»

We did the same thing for our river trips, so that we could expand from a dozen people up to our biggest 2 day trip ever with Space City Ski Club on the Guadalupe in New Braunfels serving 250 people….   Read more»

I’ve been doing the car camping and multi-day river running thing for over 20 years now and have things down to a science. Checklists, adaptable for the particular river or destination and length of trip, are utterly essential. Given that…   Read more»

Definitely bring along a notepad to keep track of the ideas on your first outing. I know when we first got our popup, we made a huge list of 1) things we should have brought along, 2) things we didn’t…   Read more»

And taking it out this weekend for a real test drive (wifey along, so she’ll definitely point out all the flaws).

Jack just bought it. He showed me the interior and it looks very nice.

I believe that would be Jack Matthews’ rig.

He needs to PM me his preferred password. There is no way to re-initialize the account and have it resend the activation email. Once he is logged in he can change his password.

I agree, James and Ken. The last show really did not show what we do or who we are. IMHO, too. Even I recorded over it. And, to point, the only reason I can think of, besides the obvious reason…   Read more»

There are a few across the country that are flamboyant and looking for attention and but that is not the majority. That is really the only problem that I have had with some of the shows that have been about…   Read more»

Sorry, way off topic, but honestly haven’t heard anything of KM since the outhouse. So true about the ego. I’ve never come across anyone even remotely like that in our area. We definitely seem low-key across the board. The wild…   Read more»

Yeah, right. Not smart, so your phone is. Ha Ha. I like your post on the TRA forum about TAPs being vendors and conflicts of interest. I think most people are trying to further the hobby and would not push…   Read more»

I like the reference of a smart phone, I use one because I am not;-)

I have made it a habit to always have pen, paper, and my smart phone with me (I am not trying to brag about the type of phone, but describing it, and it is a Droid O/S and has a…   Read more»

Joe is right, I was thrilled when twice I had lost a rocket and another flier found it and brought it back to the LCO table. One was MIA for three months. When I find another fliers rocket I of…   Read more»

The only real reason someone should be mad if you pick their rocket is is if they are mapping all of their recoveries. In this case you can show them where it was. Just do not turn it off if…   Read more»

Piss them off and bring it in, they would rather have it then not. You never know how long they are out there but if you don’t bring it in it might be years or a ranch takes it to…   Read more»
