I recently scratched up the tops of my soft leather hiking boots. The scratches look unsightly, and give the appearance the shoes are always dirty.

Is there any way of treating soft leather to repair, or cover up, scratches in it?

Cheaper than most family tents, but actually keeps the rain out. I’m 30 minutes north of Seattle. Just unpacked and put up the tent this morning as soon as it arrived during an hour no rain break, then it started pooring. Eight hours of rain and it’s still bone dry inside out in my backyard. I can’t believe a 450mm shell/tent can do that. More than enough room for our whole family, me, wife, 13yr and 1yr old daughters. Two big foam beds and a play pen to boot. I searched reviews all over the net trying to find a decent family tent and hoped the reviews I read about his one were all true, and I am happy to say they are. Coleman FN rox. The rain fly that covers the outside of the door is part of the whole rain fly (all one piece), there is actually room for three chairs to stay dry under it (picture misleads that it is smaller). I was just out there smoking a cig thinking, America still has a few great companies left that mean well for their customers. The floor is not cheap tub tarp, it’s decent. But, I still got two 6 x 8 cheap carpets @ lowes. Lesson learned from years of camping if you want your tent to last. The front door is pure genius. The zippers are re-inforced and glide like butter. But, if you don’t want to add tons of wear on your zipper (and we all know a tent is useless when the door zipper breaks, unless of course it’s a coleman with this design), just don’t zip it, and let the hinge spring it lightly shut. And the factory well placed velcro hold it shut.

Actor/filmmaker, Ivan Rogers (shown here in a black blazer, sunglasses, and shaved head) purchased this polished solid black granite monument that stands six feet in height, ten inches thick, and thirty-six inches wide. It is dedicated to the memory of torture-slaying victim, Sylvia Likens (1949-1965) who was only 16 years of age at the time of her death. Because of the heinous nature of this crime, it received international recognition. Ivan also wrote the verse inscribed on the front of the monument which comes from his book entitled, “My Life’s Impressions” ISBN: 1-4241-8864-4. In a ceremony that took place at 10:00am ET on Friday, June 22, 2001, at Willard Park, 1900 East Washington Street in Indianapolis, Indiana, Ivan presented the monument to the world. Among those present were Clergymen and law enforcement officials from all over the US Here we see Ivan Rogers, his wife Susan Rogers, Dianna Likens Bedwell (Sylvia’s sister), and her husband, Paul Bedwell. Dianna and Paul were flown in from Yucca Valley, California for the ceremony.

Valley of the FIres, NM: *turn on HD The wind was kicking up pretty hard this day in New Mexico camping. But the wind is not such a big deal for a tent that you would think would have more trouble in the high wind. The bigger problem was the temperature dipping below freezing during the night, the Hobitat is not made for freezing weather (or the crazy wind). But with some Down and some wool we kept warm until morning. This is our REI Hobitat tent setup which does take two people and will take about 15 minutes to set up. The tent poles withstand high winds very well. Music: Moby

Lets take a look at my “belt type” survival kit. It contains items that will help me to secure the most important survival needs such as Fire, Shelter, Water, and Food. I usually carry this kit on my belt but when I am not wearing it, I let it ride in my survival backpack. This is part 2.
