It dawned on me yesterday while seeing a new dentist and he asked if I used an electric toothbrush. I dreaded going to the dentist in the past but I'm in and out with just standard cleanings every 6 months since using a Sonicare.

These shirts are soo comfy. They've held up very well too.

Me and the Mrs have this exact same grill (purchased 2 years ago)...we can confirm that it is great! :clap:

1. Cool Touch damper handles for my WSM and Webber kettle. Cheap, easy to put on, and make damper adjustment way easier

2. Stihl Chainsaw. 18 years of abuse and still goin strong and I use it all year.

3. Frog Toggs raingear. Shit just keeps me dry

4. Buck knife on my keychain. I use it everyday for about everything. Been there 20 years

5. Tilley hat. Bought it in 1997. It's flown off my head out of boats many times, but it floats. It's got a small pouch for money or a fishing license, etc. Best hats ever.

Muck boots. I've got the high and the ankle length.

This might be as good of a place to ask as any.


I'm looking for a recommendation on a decent backpack. We're headed to Disney this year and want to be able to take a few things (snacks/water/camera/etc) in with us. Preferably lightweight and waterproof.

Anyone have a suggestion?

My firm recently presented all staff members with Kenneth Cole Reaction backpacks. I wear a backpack daily as part of my commute, and over the years generally just picked up whatever the cheapest Walmart/Target special was. I was amazed how much more comfortable this was than others I've used. Light weight, but sturdy.

No idea if it's waterproof or not, though.

+2.
Sonic brush + WaterPik = best start and end of every day.

Mechanical nose hair trimmer

Podcast I listen to talks about datsusara bags, that I've always wanted to try.

Might give them a look

Apocalypse Gear winter parka. Built for Yukon Quest sled dog race, it’s tough as nails, quite warm and slides on easily over other layers. akgear.com

Anything by Simms for fishing. Great gore Tex jacket and breathable waders. Had my waders for over 10 years. Still no leaks.

Wolf 36” stove. Wish I had room for the 48” but the heat control is fantastic. Expensive install up front but worth every penny.

Sagebrush dry dry gear backpack. Made in Southeast Alaska,it’s kept my gear dry through many storms, in Alaska, Belize and elsewhere. If I’m getting into a boat, I throw extra gear (jackets, layers, etc.) into my sagebrush dry pack.

Pelican cases. Similar to sagebrush dry. Absolutely waterproof, crush proof and floatable, I use this for wallets, keys, cell phones. Buy one and it lasts forever.

I’m sure I’ll think of others but those are a good starting point.

I use the standard Aquarius model. My dental hygienist likes the cordless one but corded is just fine for me. You have to work your way up to the 10 level but your gums will thank you for it. My routine is brush, water pik, mouthwash (Listerine cool mint). Might sound like overkill but it only takes five minutes start to finish and my dental health game is on point.

Sounds like some nice gear. It's funny the difference between what you need there in below-zero plus wind chill and what I need living in Arizona in 110 degrees plus sun light exposure. Left outside in it we'd likely both die if we were wearing each other's gear.
