Who held the "Bear Hunters Writing Seminar"? The stories and pics have been one of the grandest collections I can recall here on tradgang. Congrats on your bear, ya done good, and thanks for the awesome story.

The hat is felt.
I picked it up at BP several years ago.
It was cheap but has held up really well. The price was around $20.
I made the band out of 550 chord and weaved it like you see the survival bracelets people make.
So I guess that makes my hat the first emergency survival dual purpose hat.

Thanks

Very Nice.....

Congrats again Whiteoaks , I think the change of hat by Mad Dog Mike changed his luck , last year he had the Viking helmut complete with horns which definitely didn't go with his F14's . Congrats Mike lets hear your story . Fred

WhiteOaks · June 21, 2011, 09:01:00 PM

Thanks GreyFox.
MD Mike is a hoot in camp regardless of his hat.
He's got a good story to tell if we can get him to write.

Greyfox54 · June 21, 2011, 09:28:00 PM

By the way Whiteoaks very nice avatar . You want Mad Dog to talk get him a 5 hour energy drink and then try to take your turn sleeping while driving to La Tuque . By the time it wore off and it was my turn to drive I was exhausted . He slept well enough for both of us though , Fred
