Howdy...... I have a couple of micro bison tube hides that are magnetic. I have had the magnets come unglued twice. I have been using GORILLA GLUE. Should I be using a 2 part epoxy? Something else...? Inquiring minds want to know...... THANKX! Vern / Foothills Drifter...

Howdy...... If I am on the trail I am watching a 45 deg angle about 6 to 10 feet in front of me. If I am in the brush / bush I am watching about 2 to 3 feet in front of me I have seen MANY! but have never been bitten. Vern / Foothills Drifter... -

Would that include people who get irked by people who get irked by every little thing? Howdy...... YES! Vern / Foothills Drifter...

Howdy...... I agree... Vern / Foothills Drifter... This. I wouldn't say it is my #1 complaint, but it certainly has discouraged me from placing numbers-hound-compliant caches. Too often in the forums we confuse long logs and good logs. A good log is often long, but long logs are not necessarily good.

Garmin 450 and batteries
Foothills Drifter replied to jkingscott's topic in GPS technology and devices
Try the Lithium, they last longer than alakline, We went through alkaline in less than two days, the Lithium have been at full charge for two weeks. It is worth the extra money. Howdy...... My Lithium's lasted about two days. Not very good. I ain't gonna use em no more.... Vern / Foothills Drifter... -

Garmin Oregon 450 vs 550
Foothills Drifter replied to FDWhitey's topic in GPS technology and devices
Howdy...... I upgraded earlier this month to a Garmin Oregon 450 (from a G.Vista HCx) I didn't need a camera so....that was the way to go for me. I can now retire my PALM ONE sense the 450 has all the info the Vista did not. I do not use the maps... I always use the compass (I do write down a note or two...) Either one is good.

Recalibration after battery change...?
Foothills Drifter replied to Foothills Drifter's topic in GPS technology and devices
Howdy...... Thankx for all the replies. At this time I am using alkaline batteries (the GPSr is set for these batteries). When these are 'done'I am going to use rechargeable batteries (and change the setting) I will recalibrate when I make the change. THANKX!!!! Vern / Foothills Drifter...
