Last weekend we were exhibiting at the Central Washington Sportsmen Show and got to watch live trout racing. I Googled “trout race” and nothing came up so I decided to get a video
Not that this has anything to do with straps but watching the kids was fun.
We will be in Yakima this weekend, booth 419 at the Central Washington Sportsmen Show. The show is open Friday, Saturday and Sunday February 19-21, 2016. Our booth will feature web straps of many varieties, throw bags and a new product for us, Rod Wranglers.
In addition to the exhibitors there are a wide range of events planned. I think we will have to check out the trout races on Saturday afternoon. When I Googled “trout races” I didn’t get a hit so this is sure to be something special.
Come by our booth and say hi to Karen and myself. Buy a strap or Rod Wrangler or order custom straps, and enjoy the show.
Even though we don’t sell zippers we all use them and know how frustrating it can be when one becomes frozen. This morning I was going through my email and noticed an article published by BoatUS on how to unstick frozen zippers.
I have not tried using vinegar but the next time I have this problem with a corroded zipper my first trip will be to the pantry. My guess is this will work with salt water corrosion, zippers stuck for other reasons might require different techniques. With the nylon coil type I have found when they get stiff and difficult to use some baby oil does the trick. If you have other tricks, let me know.
Walking in Seattle I noticed that someone had used a few ratchet straps to hold up a tree. I don’t think this would have come to my mind if I had to guy a tree but it sure works.
We sell stainless steel ratchet buckles and can make them in to your strap of choice. To hold up a tree you don’t need much fancy end hardware, sewn loops will do the trick.
