The blogger gets paid a stipend for every purchase while it costs me nothing, I think that's called a win-win. I get some really good prices too, and that is good.<br /><br />As for hunting from a blind, almost all hunting in WA State is on public land and a blind would disappear in a matter of hours. On the other hand some hunting occurs, as does mine, on private property because I had the temerity to ask the owner for permission. His flabber was totally gasted to the point he put my permission in perpetuity in his will. His kids still call me up to make sure I'm coming. I love those people.<br /><br />He didn't want permanent blinds set up but we collaborated on platforms with ladders that can be set on blocks fastend fifteen feet up on three old maples along a ling disused logging railroad bed that runs through his wood lot. Setting up a platform and ladder takes half an hour each. When he was still alive he had his kids set 'em up two weeks before hunting season, they still do. I've taken a nice Coast Blacktail doe three years running from one or another of the platforms, and two years while walking out to it. I was out of luck a couple of years due to illness or knee replacement surgery. I've been skunked several seasons.Gerry N.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12389938.post-79059817160333049522012-11-23T17:14:47.505-06:002012-11-23T17:14:47.505-06:00I have the Big Buddy, the Buddy, and a smaller Bud...I have the Big Buddy, the Buddy, and a smaller Buddy. During the winter, I carry the Survival Cat in the car. It runs 30-hours plus on a bottle.<br /><br />The Big Buddy will heat my Coleman Sequoia tent camper to shirtsleeve temps at 25 and snowing outside. The Coleman is 22 feet long when extended.<br /><br />The Buddy would drive me out of my 28-foot cabin cruiser, keeping all the ice off, in a bad ice storm I weathered in '04.<br /><br />Yep, the Buddies get the job done.Rivrdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00137869405329187219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12389938.post-41336952795967650382012-11-23T13:50:33.915-06:002012-11-23T13:50:33.915-06:00What is it we used to say?
