Make that AF4 .... Sorry. The design I'm looking at is the AF4 Breve, the 16-foot hull

First, I'm not trying to sell this design, however I've been attracted to it and bought the plans (fairly cheap). Seems the slot top would be a natural blind, can float in a few inches of water, and I can see it all grassed up as a floating island. Fairly easy to build from four sheets of...

Had a real warm-up here today in north-central South Dakota, most of snow on ground will probably be gone in a couple of days. Only had about a foot of snow total so far; seems most of the snow is going southeast of this winter -- all the at to NYC!

After a tumultuous 2015, I'm returning to hopefully be an active member of this board ... It's been so long I even had to reset my password. My wife and I have completed a move from our home of 35 years in McPherson County, Kansas to McPherson County, South Dakota. Retired and downsizing out of...

My humble opinion: Get a good used Browning Gold 10-gauge autoloader, and a good used Beretta 686 2-3/4-inch chambered over and under for clays and upland birds. Neither ever wear out, and more and more 10-gauge factory loads available. A 10-gauge will always outpattern those Roman Candle...

Nice buck ... there's one like it on every section out here in Kansas ... at least that's what the Outdoor Channel would have you think ...

If I recall correctly (don't have the book close at hand) Zack recommended a 18-foot johnboat commercial hull. Always wondered if there was a source for a used one?

Yeah, I do believe its somewhat generational ... at least, I've experienced it in trying to teach people 40 years younger how to fly. I've come to the conclusion that most anyone younger than 40 probably won't get it for another 20 years or so. I remember honoring my parents and most anyone a...

If you please, does anyone have experience with this event ... positive or otherwise? Even though November always is "prime time" here in Kansas, I've often thought the festival might be interesting. To be more specific, my four-year-old grandson lives inside the Beltway of DC, and I'd like to...

Great photos, Mike ... Thanks for taking me up there (still on my bucket list to fly up "the trench" in my Cessna 150) ...

Sorry to stray off topic, Al ... but, do you happen to know what that '67 Bronco would be worth today? If only we'd been smart enough to hold onto the things we had back then ...

Hi Al ... Congratulations on your catch! Those pack rats are worse than just pesky, and are moving into our part of Kansas. Last Thanksgiving, wife and I were hitting the road for a stay at the Arbor Day Lodge in Nebraska, when the car started running rough and the "Check Engine" light came on...

Maybe too late, but ... "The Punkinseed"

Hi Mike ... only you can make minus 31C seem like a walk in the park. Very nice!

Another elitist promoting their book -- probably didn't even write it -- just what we need ... And where have all the good writers gone? Just another frustration for those of us who have "stayed within the lines" all these years ...
