Re: Guide to handheld VHF's

In the article, it said most VHF handheld radios can only transmit within a 3-8 mile range and I am guessing with overcast and poor weather conditions range is closer to the low end. With how much VHF radios cost, do you believe the investment is really worth it for such short range? do you think y...

Re: Superior paddling in an open boat?

Re: Great Lakes Health Improves

it was the worst administration in our history as far as how lax they were with chemical levels in the water. Several different times they loosened up regulations. IMO to help out their big business friends.

Queen weight restriction

The only time I went to IR they never weighed our gear (thankfully since we took way too much) & I can't find a definitive answer elsewhere. Does the small bag they allow you to carry on the Queen count towards your 70 lbs of gear you are allowed before being charged extra? Or is this bag separa...
