Outdoor Whats-it

[Reddog]

Here is a Outdoor what is it?

[Furby]

I happen to know what those are, but let's see who else knows. ;)

[Reddog]

Thanks Furby, lets see what this comes up with. ;)

[LeeB]

roller skates for your dog :D

[Timburr]

The only thing I can identify are the rug and carpet pieces and those are definately not outdoorish. 
Maybe some sort of snow mobility kit for Mr. Wetnose!  ;D

[Jeff]

Cross country skies for a dog?

[Reddog]

 :D :D :D Not for the dog. Jeff's close.

[Jeff]

OK, then I'm guessing they are indoor cross country trainers. For Cats.

Or People. ;)

[SwampDonkey]

I'd like to know what cat would let ya tie then down to anything in motion. I had a cat that would try to climb out the window of a moving car. Terrible motion sickness. When taking her to the vet we had to put her in a box or she would be the whole trip climbing all over the car.  :D :D

[LeeB]

Looks like its got wheels on em, so still say some kinda skates.

[Reddog]

Jeff got it, Yep it's a C.A.T. ski. Used for no snow training. They don't glide far. :D

Classical All Terrain ski.

With our lack of snow most times, we wanted something to keep the stride fluid.   

[DWM II]

I wouldnt have been able to guess that in a go-zillion years. :D

[theorm]

Yep, kinda like roller blades for cross-country skiers. Saw some in Montana. They only get used for about two weeks every year. There is too much snow during the rest of the year.

[Jeff]

Here is another outdoor whatsit.  If you know what it is lets see, what those that dont think. ;)

[Gary_C]

That's a board stretcher, for those carpenters that get that old saying - measure twice, cut once - turned around. 

[LeeB]

Twig sized log tongs.

[thecfarm]

Something to pick up a square cant with?Looks like it has some size to it.Seems to be on a couch.

[Jeff]

Nope.

[thecfarm]

It's not a binder for a special boot to hold in on to a ski,snowshoe.

[Gary_C]

New style of seatbelt? 

[sawguy21]

Snake catcher.

[Jeff]

So far all nopes. One guess has enough similarities, that I would say its as close as saying a watermelon is a canteen. ;)

[Gary_C]

Is'nt that one of those things you use to unlock your car door when you leave the keys inside. You must have taken that picture in Steve's truck when he was there. I know he would not be without one.   :D :D :D

[Jeff]

I'll post another photo when we get a few more shots at it.

[Weekend_Sawyer]

 When you are up on a roof or on a tree stand and fogot to tie off your picnic basket you lower that to snag it up. Also good for snagging a new (to you ) hat.

[Jeff]

Hey! Thats..... Not even close. ;) :D

[Gary_C]

I have it figgured out now. It's a new DOT approved tiedown for your deer when you transport them. Also works well to tiedown your four wheeler. One of those in each tire and you chinch it down and it will not go anywhere. Just ask Bob the Pigman. I think he must use them all the time.   ;D

[Jeff]

 :D  I'd love to give you credit on that one.

But... No. ;)

[pigman]

Well, at the time I did think that it was a good idea Gary.


It is a bull lead. You hook it in the bull's nose and lead him around.  If you pull hard on the lead, you will lead the bull real fast. ;)

[ADAMINMO]

Is it for catchin frogs and/or fish.You open it up and latch it as it is spring loaded and when you touch it to the fish or frog it springs shut therefore catchin it without gettin your hands dirty?

[Jeff]

Yes! ADAMINMO has it.

Its a "fish grabber"  can be used as a gaff or similar to a spear. My dogs hate it as shown in the video. They have never ever been teased with it, they just do not like the snap when it goes off as you will see if you watch the short youtube clip. Icey has a stuffed basketball toy and I used it on that.  Its a dangerous tool. I would never want it to go off on me.

[ADAMINMO]

Sweet ..... I finally got one right. 8) A buddy of mine had one a year or so ago and when I seen the pic I thought that is what it was.

[SwampDonkey]

For fishing salmon, once we got the bugger hooked (on a fly hook only) we use a dip net. Or if it has to be released, because of size limits, we go to the shallows and try to remove the hook or cut the leader. If you cut the leader the salmon is able to dissolve the metal eventually. If we have a wide beach on the river we sometime beach them if they are 5 or 6 pounds. Can't do that with a 10 lb'er or bigger too often, he goes where he want to.  :D

I haven't fished salmon in 15 years.  :

[LeeB]

OK, so its fish tongs. :D :D

[isawlogs]

 Jeff , I found the ones we where talking about last summer , they are the same as what you just showed us here . Do you have a brand name for those ... I would go out and read what's on mine , but it's cold out there ...  :-\  And they are out in the barn. Yours are a lot shinier than mine . ( did I get the than right )



more

[Jeff]

Mine doesnt have a brand, but if yours say "Marbles" on them, yer in da money...

[LeeB]

more shiny or shinier, not more shinier

[Jeff]

Marcel, pay no attention to the Texan. I can undestand you fah quiker den dem.

[LeeB]

I can understand him just fine too. After all Texas is next door to Louisiana and they talk funny too.

[SwampDonkey]

It's those 'newfenlanders' ya gots the look out fer. Eh, buys?

[isawlogs]

 I don't recall seing"marbles" on it ... there is some writing on it though . Going to see that in the morning . My luck ... it's China .  :-\

[sawguy21]

So it would work for catching snakes ;)

[Jeff]

Only a BIG snake. it doesn't close down far enough for anything we have around here. You would have to use it on a BIG fish too.

[SwampDonkey]

Would it work on a 70 lb'er? ;D

[Jeff]

It very well may. I guarantee if it snapped on my head you could probably pull me around anywhere you wanted.

[pineywoods]

We had a smaller version of the same thing, used to grab bullfrogs,,

[Jeff]

I'll bet this one would pop a basketball.

[isawlogs]

 It is not a " Marbles "

  The writing on it is as goes ... Norlund's
                                           Williamsport  PA
                                                    USA

  That is better then China  ;D :D :D

  It has a black handle holder and springs , the claw looks to be unpainted steel .. rust patuna  ;)

 
This one also could put some damage to a basketball  ;)

[Weekend_Sawyer]

Wow, that's cool! I want one to hang next to my bear trap!

Jon

[Jeff]

There is a buy it now one on ebay I think 

[isawlogs]

Jon .. 
Get a pic sometime of the bear trap and its sidekick . ;)

[Weekend_Sawyer]

Good idea!
Marcel gave me his fish grabber at last years pigroast. Cool eh.

[isawlogs]

 Thats one serious trap there    Been a while since I saw one like that 

[SwampDonkey]

Don't lose your balance when setting them jaws, or it might jump up and grab something. :D  That's got teeth on the jaws don't it? I've seen a couple over the years at the camps. I don't think my grandfather ever trapped bears, it was rifle hunting. I saw one bear trap one time that would take quite man to set.  ;D

[Weekend_Sawyer]

I can't set that trap by myself without using c clamps. I was just standing on it trying to get that pice of wood out of it. Nope.

I keep planning on heating up the spring and relaxing it that would make it useless but Ill never usit on anything exept as wall art.
