Ea little gem of knowledge by itself is hardly encu to do a column on, but together they make som interesting reading. Therefore, if this week's c mnseems a little disjointed, you'll know why, because I'rn going to give you a bunch I've come across in the last few years, The spring can be a dangerous time of year, especially for snowmobilers. Apart from the obvious dangers of weakening ice, snow con-. ditions can also trap you. That hard crusty snow you startout on in the morning can gosoft on you causing snow machines to bog down. Struggling to free thein, can cause you to b come soaked with perspiration making four a stic y situation if you're still out there when the co night air starts to move in. Pace yourself and adjust your clothing to. match the changing temp ratures' throughout the day. Always guard gainst sunburn and snow -blindness as the.sun's r s get stronger every day. - If you are a boater, this tip might be of soon e interest to you. Large clamps, like those booster cables, can eften be- more effective. -and convenient: than -an anchor, Along a brushy lake shore or on a small river or creek, one of these clamps attached to a short piece of rope can be chipped on to a small sapling and hold the boat as securely as -any anchor. Never,. ander any circumstances, however, rely on the clamp to secure the boat overnight, or when you are away from it. Being marooned on a desert island in the South Pacific may be one thing, but a Northern Ontario island during the blackfly season is another. Q If you use ropes to tie things on to your car or trailer, chances are it's about a 50 footer that you Use. -You'll` save yourself a lot of time and frustration and even make the load more secure if you cut that long' rope up into several- 1-0 .foot and ,five ,foot pieces. Give it a try pnce, and you'll see what I mean: Washing your chunks of rope off with a hose occasionally will greatly increase their•lifespan as dirt and grit act as an abrasive. Want to measure up your woodpile to find out exactly what you're got? A cord of • wood measures 8 feet by 4 feet by 4 feet. The com- monly referred to "face" or "stove" cord with 16" lengths is actually one third of a cord and are not legal cords according to the government. To get an accurate measurement of your woodpile,, multiply the'lehgth, width and height (all in feet) and divide by 128. • •Just about everyone has seen bookshelves made out of planks and bricks or cement blocks. If you wantsomething a little different and woodsy for the cottage or den, however, try using blocks cut from a birch tree. Keep the ends of the blocks as square as you can and there shouldn't be any problems. A step further would be to have a saw mill rip you some planks to use, leaving the birch bark on the edge. You've probably noticed that small hole on your Coleman lantern or stove near the pump that is often marked oil. Putting a few drops of oil in the hole at the start and end of the season will keep the leathers in good condition BUT do • NOT use machine oil. Petroleum based oils will ruin that leather gasket faster than anything else. The ..thing to use is a good shoe oil like Neat's Foot Oil. That will keep the leather soft, make pumping easier and more effective and save you a lotof frustration when you're trying to get supper ready. • 1f you are a camper and are using a tent to any great extent, you probably know how fragile most commercial tent pegs.- are. If you want some good sturdy tent pegs at almost minimal costs, visit your local railway yard and ask if you can have a few discarded spikes. (don't think I'd want torile up any man who could break one of those while driving it into the around.
