I love the smell of burning spruce---I love the sound of a spring time goose---I love the feel of 40 below---from my trapline I will never go!

I always had a problem slipping on tussocks! Larry, I learned from Rick Swenson to take my bunny boots to a tire shop and have studs installed. Helps with traction on ice.
