Re: Joining NATO
My wife's cousin was in the SS and lost on the Eastern Front so I've done a bit of research as WWII is my hobby. IMO, the media blew the real story with that Uke Nazi soldier. No one wanted to be "liberated" by Russian troops who they were historically at war with. And if the spit hits the fan, peop...

People are funny. What was that guy thinking. We have them going around and through the neighborhood all the time but they are ghosts. A dog got taken off the back porch 10 years ago. Then a cougar killed a bicycle rider 10 miles north of me about 5 years ago. Last month a pair of cougars cut up a b...

Re: Leather care for Alico, Asolo, etc. telemark boots
I've got some 50 yeaar old Merrells that have held up well with 50 years of treating with Sno Seal. I smear it on and use a hair dryer to warm it in. Asolo recommends a water-proofing impregnation spray these days.

Re: Skiing really long skis?
As I recall it, back in the day of wood skis, low leather boots and cables, an expert skier was a guy who could do turns down hill all day without falling. The foot-boot-ski connection was loosey goosey. Bindings were there so your foot couldn't slip off the ski. Longer skis added some stability. ht...

Re: Military Ski Master List (w/ Photos)
Your research is interesting to me. Interesting in all of the military have programs that require skis and get them where they can.
