    Vintage Camping Equipment

    I've worn moccasins quite a bit in the woods and have enjoyed the experience. I find that I walk differently in moccs, I take care where I put my foot, toes down first like the Native Americans. I feel more in tune with nature in moccasins rather than stomping up the trail in boots. Though I...

    Best vintage camera for the starting enthusiast?

    Modern film with a old camera I just got a Kodak Retina III c in great condition and need a bit of advice. I rushed to the local drug store after receiving my camera and purchased the only types of 35mm film they had. Kodak Ultramax 400 and Kodak Gold 200. According to the manual you set the...

    Historic Hillwalking

    Creeping Past, Interesting links on hobnails. I'll have to give them a try some day if only to honor old Mallory. Hobnailed boots have been on my gear list for a while, just not at the top of the list yet. After my last walk in the rain a tin cloth jacket will be my next purchase. :)

    Maltese Falcon Tie

    I voted for red, yet I also like the idea of blue or green for a change. Love your ties Indy. I'm looking forward to adding another one to my growing collection.

    Historic Hillwalking

    U.S. Garrison shoes from WPG. I've used them for over a year now and haven't fallen on my backside once yet. :) I like the rubber soles, although I have not tried hobnailed boots yet. What are the opinions of my fellow hillwalkers on the use and functionality of hobnailed boots?

    What are your unreleased dvd wants?

    Yes indeed! I love George O'Hanlon, he picked up where Benchley left off. I had no idea he was the voice of George Jetson, I should have recognized his voice from watching so much of the cartoon as a kid.

    What are your unreleased dvd wants?

    Yes indeed! I see the Andy Hardy movies as a family sitcom of that time, like the Cosby Show in the 80's it captures the ambiance of the era as the family works through the problems of daily life.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    China Seas (1935) with Clark Gable, Jean Harlow and Wallace Beery. A great adventure film set aboard a ship sailing from Hong Kong to Singapore. Check out Gable's suit in the his opening scene, I'd like something like that for a summer suit myself. Robert Benchley is also aboard for comic relief...

    I'm reading Everett Ruess: A Vagabond for Beauty & Wilderness Journals, edited by W.L. Rusho. It's the letters and journals of a young artist and wilderness wanderer that disappeared with hardly trace in the canyon lands of Utah in 1934. His wonderful writing gives you a glimpse of the...

    What are your unreleased dvd wants?

    I'd like to see a remastered copy of The Big Sky (1952) on DVD. When Turner put this on video there were whole sections of the story missing, probably due to poor quality. Though I've seen the complete version since on TCM. Anyway its a great western directed by Howard Hawks, with Kirk Douglas...
