I made my son a trailer hitch for towing his new boat but it ended up coming apart and the boat passed me on the freeway when testing it, because it had broken lose.
I did a little research and this is what i found at hitchanything.com (Reese 30054 30K Low Profile Fifth Wheel Hitch) sounds good and looks safer , but I am not sure if I can use this 5th Wheel Hitch for towing my son's boat? Has anyone tried this?

Authorities say a hiker bitten by a fox in a central New York park is being treated for rabies.

The Ithaca Journal reports that the state's rabies laboratory determined that the fox was rabid.

The Tompkins County Health Department says two people were hiking on a trail in Buttermilk Falls State Park in Ithaca when they were attacked by the fox. The animal bit one of the hikers before park police officers shot and killed it.

The report said that rabies is often a fatal disease if untreated. ]]> Travelers Tavern Pathfinder1 http://www.outdoorbasecamp.com/forum/f54/ny-hiker-being-treated-rabies-after-fox-attack-8773/ http://www.outdoorbasecamp.com/forum/f54/mama-got-new-pair-shoes-8772/ Wed, 16 May 2012 14:49:28 GMT **We had a fun afternoon yesterday.

We went off insearch of a replacement part for my ole smokey BBQ pit. It usually lives out on the boat at work. We went to Cabellas cause I thought das where I got it but they don't carry that brand. While there, Peg got a couple SPF rated long sleeve shirts that she likes to wear over a sleeveless top when camping/ fishing. The shirts are colorful and breath well and keep ma extremely blond sweety from toasting. Well one thing led to another and while I was looking at fishing tackle Peg got an arm load of cute sale things from the clothing section:tinysmile_hmm_t: Several hundred dollers later we still didnt have the part I wanted so on a whim we decided to drive to the academy sports store. Only thing is, its clean on the other side of home. So she drove I stopped for a six pack, we cranked up da juke box and set sail for the academy. 'bout a hour and a half away. When we got there they had the bbq pits but not the part I needed, and on the way out we noticed a shoe sale. Next thing I know we both have new hikin' boots.I got my ole stand bys timberlines, (i like the high arch suport) and Peg gota pair of columbia boots. They lighter and breathe better. So on the way home now loaded with new camping stuff and no bbq pit part we stopped in a mexican place for supper where I discovered does exies had an amber beer that I liked a lil too much.:tinysmile_fatgrin_tWell with those new boots we just gotta break 'em in so we off to the french market and the Audobon society aquarium complex to investigate the butterfly garden and a new parakeet garden. Will bring the camera along and who knows maybe one of the parakeets will cristen Pegs new sun shirt:tinysmile_fatgrin_t ]]> Travelers Tavern Cappy http://www.outdoorbasecamp.com/forum/f54/mama-got-new-pair-shoes-8772/ http://www.outdoorbasecamp.com/forum/f54/happy-birthday-me-8771/ Wed, 16 May 2012 13:37:20 GMT Normally I'd stick around for a while longer but today is my birthday and I am going fishing.

I wish everyone a great day even though there are a few of you who probably don't believe me.

I'll probably check in tomorrow to read some of the snide remarks you make. Just stay away from religion.

Bye for now. ]]> Travelers Tavern dinosaur http://www.outdoorbasecamp.com/forum/f54/happy-birthday-me-8771/ http://www.outdoorbasecamp.com/forum/f81/scout-earns-badge-8770/ Tue, 15 May 2012 23:00:42 GMT A young man I know was dropped off in the woods last Friday night with nothing but a tarp.

His job was to survive the night and set up camp the next day for fellow scouts. He did an outstanding job and earned his badge. I'm glad the scouts still teach basic survival skills. I wish more young men would take advantage of it. ]]> Wilderness Survival rayne http://www.outdoorbasecamp.com/forum/f81/scout-earns-badge-8770/ http://www.outdoorbasecamp.com/forum/f54/evolution-acceptance-8769/ Mon, 14 May 2012 16:23:00 GMT For a nation of immigrants we don't accept people different than we are very well. Slavery was abolished around the Civil War but other countries like Britain outlawed it way before we did. We still had Jim Crow laws and lynched people. Women got the right to vote about 1910. The Civil Rights Act in the 1960s started to finally protect black people. Women started to get soical rights in the 1970s but still earn less 80 percent of men for the same job. Now gay people are being afforded some rights like health insurance.

It is a slow process, but eventually we need to imagine that even Muslims won't be discriminated against. Handicapped people won't be shunned. (I was in a wheel chair for a long time and learned what it is like to be 3 feet tall). We will someday have a female president. Board rooms will someday be occupied by the same number of women as men. The search for equality has been a slow, rough road in America. My hope is that people can start today to treat everyone fairly and without a lot of preconceived ideas about who and what they are. ]]> Travelers Tavern ppine http://www.outdoorbasecamp.com/forum/f54/evolution-acceptance-8769/ http://www.outdoorbasecamp.com/forum/f59/howdy-texas-8768/ Mon, 14 May 2012 13:43:45 GMT Hello, Just thought I would say hello, looks like a great site and I look foward to learning some new things.

The religion thing is the most amusing I've seen in years. There was this string of posts that was shut down by the admin. as I was laughing my butt off at the testosterone and probable estrogen cranked out by the normally sane individuals who were answering the idiocy just previously posted.

All of you, in other posts, proclaiming your lifelong tolerance and understanding for those of other belief, tearing the virtual flesh from eachothers bones, was a refreshing and reaffirming notice to my core beliefs.

Jason, I apologise for this post but as for the rest of you, you should be ashamed of yourselves. You were shut down because you let your glands think for you.

I love it when my absence brings a plan together. ]]> Travelers Tavern dinosaur http://www.outdoorbasecamp.com/forum/f54/religion-thing-8767/ http://www.outdoorbasecamp.com/forum/f54/eagles-8766/ Sun, 13 May 2012 22:06:39 GMT Has anyone else seen this?

In most other parts of the world it is common and hardly worth mentioning. In our culture breasts have been objectified into something sexual and worthy of endless adoration. I think that is a mistake. The health (and social) benefits of breast feeding have been lost in the last 2 generations. There will probably be a push to increase breast feeding in the US and I am all for it. Colostrum is one of the great benefits to newborn mammals of all species.

How do tell when a child is old enough not to breast feed? Well my friend had a good answer. She knew it was time to wean her son in the grocery store when he announced "Mom, boob." ]]> Travelers Tavern ppine http://www.outdoorbasecamp.com/forum/f54/breast-feeding-8761/ http://www.outdoorbasecamp.com/forum/f81/learning-survival-skills-8758/ Sat, 12 May 2012 03:08:19 GMT What is a good source, either a book or website, to learn how to survive in the wilderness?
