So I have some questions about this “coal shale”. Not as it relates to trapping. I am involved with making pottery and teaching about my specific niche in the ceramic field (I replicate native American artifact pottery). Through this I have learned a lot about clay science and geology and such stuff as that. Coal often has both an “underclay” and an “overclay” layer. Now shale IS clay. Slate is metamorphosed shale. Shale can often be ground up or weathered into clay suitable for various ceramics. I don't want to offend Vinke and write a dissertation here, but does anyone know the geology/classification of “coal shale”? Is it a true shale? Is it coal that looks like shale? Something else?
Here lately I've been really getting noticed and hard looks lately when out and about. I've always been noticeable as a big guy in a cav stetson dressed in OD green as my work clothes but it has been different lately. Folks are on edge and on the lookout for Gmen pattyrollers looking for runaways.
Kind of glad now that I just stuck with OD and didn't buy any cammies.
What runs out first around here is bread, milk, and toilet paper. Here's why they do that. Once the milk becomes clabbered, and the bread goes stale and all you have left to eat is rotten milk sandwiches, you don't want to run out of toilet paper. Sounds like a reasonable strategy to me.
Snowshoes. Wait until the dump is done, then snowshoe in and dig everything out. You might hang snares in your trail as that will be the easiest way around.
Thank you. No snares for me - PA requires a certification that I don’t have yet so I’m working with footholds.
I will have to make some. Any ideas or dimensions and how to attach? Also, could I take a spring off of some older 110s and throw it on a good 110 and have a 120?
Go to the main Trapper Talk forum and look at the 110 mink thread. I put a detailed post on wood pans and how to make and use them there.
I'd be interested in what northern missouri coon is going for as compared to southern. just
Quite a bit of difference in south Missouri Ozark type coon and the these farm country coon. Ozark coon have great color but lack size and the nap that our coon have. Just like there’s a big difference in coon between North Missouri and North Iowa. Unfortunately the price sucks on all of the above lol.
Juneau has a strict leash law for the entire road system as well as trails. It is ignored and never enforced, even when loose dogs fight with leashed dogs, or people are bitten. The only recourse is civil court. Our problems begin with a lack of law enforcement. There are typically enough laws.
I saw this today about a cruise ship that became stuck in the ice at Antarctica and a Coast Guard ship the polar star had to free it, here’s a link to a article talking about it.
