More From The Trapline — January 2021

January 16, 2021, by JimC

Hit the woods on a bluebird day after a big wind-and-rain storm — a woods ramble and one of the best Frontier Partisan Biathlon sessions I’ve ever turned in.

I heard the sounds of Corb … [Read more...] about More From The Trapline — January 2021

Working The Trapline — January 2021

January 1, 2021, by JimC

Clan Cornelius saw off 2020 in our usual style — a feast of crab and our own company.

I’m a big fan of the blog Hillbilly Highways. The best thing about the internet is that it brings together communities of like-minded folks who would likely never cross paths without it. H.P. and I have very similar tastes in books and music and there’s a big overlap in our historical interests. I was honored to be asked to be his guest for Episode … [Read more...] about Whiskey And Book Club
