New Model Hi-Point (40 S&W).

admin — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 13:15:20 +0000

Another recent purchase of mine. This new model Hi-Point 40 S&W has a different styled trigger (much smoother) than the standard models. The trigger is very smooth and seems a little more consistent between pulls (more to follow on that).

First steps on snow and ice

Cotswold Knowledge Videos – First steps on snow and ice Outdoor clothing and equipment requires specialist knowledge. This essential information is easy to impart in a conventional retail environment, but thats not so easy on the web. How can you show people how to avoid blisters, or what features to look for when choosing a climbing rope? Britain’s leading outdoor retailer, Cotswold Outdoor, teamed up with us to produce a series of five advice videos to show the depth of expertise that the company has, and to impart some of that knowledge to its online customers. The films were so successful that a second series was commissioned just three months after the first programmes aired on their website.

How much does a Guinea Pig Cost at a Pet Store? Are the Guinea Pigs Healthy When You Get Them From A PetStore?

admin — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 18:39:16 +0000

I’ve decided that I’m actually going to get 10 guinea pigs but I do have a lot of questions. 1) How much does a guinea pig cost at a pet store. 2) Are the guinea pigs healthy when you get them from a pet store? I have some care sheets that I printed off of the computer about guinea pigs and they all said that guinea pigs can live free range but they need litter boxes if they’re going to live free range. My third question is): can guinea pigs sleep in dog beds? Just curious about that one because I’ve seen a couple of guinea pigs sleep in dog beds. My fourth question is): what kind of fruits and vegetables can guinea pigs eat? 5) how often do guinea pigs use the litter boxes that they have? 6) do guinea pigs enjoy being cuddled with? 7) do guinea pigs enjoy being petted? can guinea pigs eat grass that comes from outdoors? 9) what brand of food should I feed my guinea pigs?

is this a bad idea?

admin — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 18:32:38 +0000

i have trained for 3 1/2 years and have taken numerous outdoor survival courses including one taught by an Canadian ex-army sniper.
I can handle myself well outdoors and can tend pretty much any standard injury i may suffer (broken bones, cuts, etc)

anyway, that being said. I am planning a trip 556km from an known settlement in northern yukon canada with only a single backpack containing essential gear. (basically like those survivor guys on tv do… but without a basecamp 10km away 24/7)
I am going with a friend that does not have as much, but still quite a bit of experience.
Anyway, i have done plenty of trips like this in Australia and south America and done fine. but never to northern Yukon (i live in northern alberta, ft.macmurray)
my question is this, will i run into a potentially dangerous situation in summer that my experience WONT help?
if so, what kinds of things should i train for?
(note: yukon at the time of year im going has no snow)
Notes:
1. i can go 5 days without little water before i NEED it
2. i will eat anything (i have squeezed water out of poo before… not pleasant)
3. hard work is a non-issue
4. i love doing this stuff, and will never stop. i know the risks and accept them… but death still isn’t really one of my goals, so i like to be prepared for anything
Those guys on man vs. wild are always safe about doing it. they have basecamps set up within earshot and they have a full camera crew with them all the time, ON TOP of their experience.
Keep in mind, we get one chopper lift out there and thats it, its just us for 500km.
(we have a satellite phone, but only carries enough juice for a single fairly short call. we also have GPS so getting lost is not an issue either)
