Old friends
I've enjoyed a very pleasant three days
over the past weekend. An old friend was
visiting Cada and managed to spend some
time with us.
I first met Tudor in Botswana back in 197a,
We were on our first African Safari, and
Tudor was our professional hunter. He went
out of his way to ensure we enjoyed
ourselves and had a truly memorable
experience. We've kept in touch ever since,
and met briefly once in Toronto in 1982.
It was fun having the opportunity to show
someone from Africa around our area when
it was 'wrapped in its winter cloak. A friend
and some new acquaintances from Blyth
took him out rabbit hunting, which he
thoroughly enjoyed despite the
unaccustomed cold weather.
And, over the course of his visit we talked
for hours. Mostly we talked about hunting
and related subjects like guns, seasons,
attitudes, game laws, etc., but one of the
most interesting subjects turned out to be
friendships.
It always amazes me when I see the
almost automatic kinship which springs up
between hunters, no matter where they
come from. That common interest lets
hunters accept each other at face value and
get right down to learning about and
understanding each other. I've seen it
happen time and time again, and it never
ceases to amaze me.
I really don't know why it happens.
Perhaps hunters are closer to the basic
nature of man, and are, therefore, more
prepared to help one another to ensure
survival. Maybe they appreciateomeone
. who enjoys the outdoors as much-$ they do
and feel closer to them. What der the
answer, I'd be willing to bet that if there
were more hunters, there would be tewer
social problems in the world.

Not too many years ago, computers were
regarded as impossibly complex pieces of
equipment that were appropriate only in
laboratory settings. Today, thousands of
Canadian homes are equipped with
computers and the technology has spilled
over to marine electronics and even fishing
reels. Computer jargon such as "chip",
"input" and "LCD" is now common in
fishing circles.
Before the 1940s, most fishing line was
made of linen. New nylon technology,
however, was applied to fishing, and outdoor
writers and anglers alike began referring
routinely to fishing line as "nylon
monofilament" or simply "mono".
With the introduction of a new
"cofilament" fishing line at the 1985
conference of the American Fishing Tackle
Manufacturer's Association, the fishing
lexicon was again altered.
"The introduction of new Du Pont `Prime'
cofilament fishing line is an exciting
technological event that we regard as equal
in importance to the development of nylon
monofilament," says Neil Oldridge,
worldwide manager of the Du Pont Fishing
Line business. "It took years to learn how to
extrude two different materials through the
same die to produce a low -stretch, highly
sensitive fishing line."
Nylon monofilament fishing lines, such as
Du Pont "Strep", consist of a single strand
of nylon that is. produced by forcing molten
polymer through a die, or orifice, of a
precise size. After several production steps
that build in various features, the line is
ready for packaging and sale.
Du Pont "Prime" cofilament is produced
by forcing two molten materials, polyester
and nylon, through a die simultaneously.
The resulting product combines the low
stretch features of a polyester core with a
tough, yet pliable nylon sheath to provide
anglers with a product that performs better
than any monofilament. New "Prime" has
50 percent less stretch than monofilaments
for faster, more powerful hooksets. The
polyester core also provides a much greater
degree of sensitivity, so anglers feel light
strikes that are usually "lost" in the stretch
of conventional monofilaments. The term
`cofilament' has a very specific meaning
and `Prime' cofilament is the only fishing
line of its type in the world. Watch for it on
store shelves for the upcoming fishing
season.
