Surface Tension Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 My something new is Arctic Armor jacket and bibs in camo. Been using the jacket in the duck blind and so far I really like it. Lots of pockets for storage, think I find a new pocket every time I use it. I'm not ready for winter yet but I got to admit, I'm a little excited to wear my new Arctic Armor.

toughguy Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I finally broke down and got a rebuilt aquaview Scout XL. Also picked up a 97 Arctic Cat Pantera. It's a 2 seater with reverse and EFI. Still have the itch to upgrade my flasher and maybe an arcitc armor suit. The last 2 might have to wait til next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cRaPpiEMaN8265 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I will be getting a Strikemaster Mag 2000 in the next week.. I am concerned about them doing the new motors.. Have they already made the change to overseas motor production? I really likes the idea of the Tecumseh made in the US so if they moved the operation overseas I may be getting a 1 year old auger..Other than that I hope to get a H2O for Christmas with the Ram mounting bracket for my snowmobile at the cabin..

NCLaker Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 After doing a spending spree the last couple years, my hope is that this year I can get by with buying very little cause I think I have all of what I should need.I do however plan to stop in at the St.Paul Ice Show. That may be the one weekend I will have to treat myself to some early xmas gifts. Looking forward to seeing the new stuff out this season and hopefull get some good deals.Oh and I did add a red glow chubby darter - couldn't find any of these last season, so I had to jump on it.

polarsusd81 Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Wowzers Perch, you sure are trying to stimulate the economy. The only thing I have added so far this year is my new Arctic Armor suit. I have a ton of other gear from years past. I will be trying to save the money to make a few more trips this year.Things on the wish list would be another Thorne rod or two, a couple Tica reels to go with the Thorne rods, and maybe that new Mr. Heater Base Camp.
