    Dish vs Direct TV

    Re: Dish vs Direct TV 45/308: For years both Dish and Direct had problems with the local feeds in Alaska especially in the winter. They would magically start working when the sun came up and were not to hot even then. I vote that they both suck but am presently on Dish. Tried to get Direct...

    Re: Palin hunting Video SDW: Bell Ranger no problem! $1075 per hour dry. Got a real deal once to fly more than 3 months of our accumalated mail from the village to here because the Ranger was all ready in our area retrieving the remains of a crashed plane. 19 air miles as the Raven flies and...

    Hunting & Fishing Palin hunting Video

    Re: Palin hunting Video AG: When I lived on the pavement I used to do all the Valley gun shows and our boy Donny was the only one I ever saw there. I remember a lot of below zero shows at the school but must of missed Sarah or it was after I moved out here. I agree with your logic but not...

    Re: Palin hunting Video This looks like its a lot closer to the real deal to me. Fword, plane porn and calling the Ice Road Truckers a bunch of *ussies can't be all bad. http://www.adn.com/2010/12/18/1611395/alaska-bush-pilots-fly-as-the.html

    Gunsmithing lother walther barrels ?!?!

    Re: lother walther barrels ?!?! BU: You would sure want to think a high dollar high end barrel is a for sure thing but had issues with my first LW barrel. It just wouldn't shoot. Sent it back and it was replaced and the second one did very well. My one barrel deal was probably a fluke but...

    Hunting & Fishing Palin hunting Video

    Re: Palin hunting Video SR: When I first got to Alaska I was fortunate enough to see a lot of it and thought a lot of areas were untouched but found out otherwise. Your experience here is dependent on what you are used to. Over half of the Alaskan's are pavement pounders so anything...

    Nook or Kindle, anyone have one?

    Re: Nook or Kindle, anyone have one? I have no problem loading my books from a PC but here is another possible issue with a direct connection: http://www.npr.org/2010/12/15/132058735/is-your-e-book-reading-up-on-you T3: When I first looked at Nook they had technical issues with non DRM EPUB...

    Nook or Kindle, anyone have one?

    Re: Nook or Kindle, anyone have one? Sorry. If you can easily load and use EPUB you can access the majority of the free ebooks on the net and public library system . When I purchased my ereader sometime ago they all tried to tie you to there proprietary overpriced book offerings. If the...

    Nook or Kindle, anyone have one?

    Re: Nook or Kindle, anyone have one? The reason I didn't do Kindle or Nook is they tie you to a there high dollar ebook distribution. Ck the prices on anything on the best seller list. Almost as bad as hard copy. With a 4gb card in my Sony reader I can carry more books than I'll read in a...

    Re: Palin hunting Video SDW: Hanging in here. Winter has been a real bitch so far but the midwest hasn't been exactly tropical. Troopers had to shoot a 9.5 ft brownie last week down in the village that was running through town with a pack of 8 wolves chasing it. It had gotten in a fight...

    Re: Palin hunting Video 338LM: Thanks for the concern but haven't had a lot of incoming lately. Wanted to point out a couple things for those of you that may not be familiar with life in AK. Not everyone can afford to charter Turbine Otters, Beavers, and Super Cubs. Somewhat expensive even...

    Hunting & Fishing Duck hunters gotta mind their P's and Q's

    Re: Duck hunters gotta mind their P's and Q's No wonder in some circles the definition of a "Sportsman" is a felon without opportunity. Money converts hunting into a procurement exercise that shouldn't be confused witht the real deal.

    Re: Nook or Kindle, anyone have one? Sony Reader + public library + demonoid= zero book cost. Use windows freeware app Calibre to convert anything to Epub.

    Re: post office know it all's Would give my carrier a lot if he did house calls. Last mail we had was the end of September. Occasionally get air drops but outgoing is tough that way.

    6.5 Grendel Reloading Die parts

    I was a very early implementer of the 6.5 Grendel and I had dies that were custom built and need parts for them. Looks like the Grendel forum went TU and was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. As you can see in the photos I interchange seater bushings and stems and use the...

    Hunting & Fishing Euro mount 2010

    Re: Euro mount 2010 SG: I have always liked the Euro mounts and your wood choice makes it look even better. With the exteme costs of taxidermy I also like the do it yourself part of it but boiling/soaking a moose skull with horns attached is a challange.

    any one have solar panels ?

    Re: any one have solar panels ? BM: There wasn't much in solar and RE supplies available when I started putting my system together in the mid 90's. Must of been really grim in the early 80's. NREL is a good source for unbiased testing of small wind turbines. Look at NREL's power output vs...
