And they always broke the deer's pelvis with an Estwing Hatchet. When I showed up to go hunting with a hatchet, my friend said "What's that for?" When I mentioned it was to break the deer's pelvis, he rolled his eyes. He pulled out a folding buck knife and said that was all you needed to skin anything from a deer to a polar bear. He mentioned that with a Polar Bear you DID need to know where the joints in the ribs were. Well, he is a tall muscular man, and a Forest Ranger in the Angeles Forest. I am a small, skinny man. Is that true? You can skin a deer just with a folding knife?

A wood mallet has a cylindrical head 6 in. long and 3 in. in diameter. If the cylindrical handle is 1 in. in?

diameter, how long must it be for the mallet to balance at a point 6 in. from where the handle enters the mallet head? (Assume the unit weight of the wood to be 40lbs per feet cubed.)

Mallet head volume = 6 * 1.5² * π = 42.41 in³
Handle volume = 6 * 0.5² * π = 4.71in³
Volume needed to balance = 47.12 in²
Length = 47.12 / π / 0.5² = 60 in

Total handle length = 60 + 6 = 66 in

Notice that if the density is the same throughout, it doesn't need to be considered.

Weddings are usually highly coordinated activities involving several different vendors, friends, and family all working together to make the day a success. If one fails, the whole wedding is at risk. Because of this you want to find vendors with an excellent track record and make sure your friends and family have what they need to help you. Also, giving enough time to your vendors will also help avoid delays and handle any unexpected surprises. You can ask your vendor how much time they need, but usually by the time you have selected your vendor the schedule is already set. Below are some tips to help you plan for each vendor.

Makeup Artist - Plan for about an hour and a half for the application of the bride's makeup. If your bride's maids are getting makeup too find out if your artist will have a helper or how much longer they will need. Bride's maids will need less time for makeup.

Hair Stylist - Again a Hair Stylist can take another hour and half. If you use the same person for both makeup and hair some time can be saved and you won't have a situation where one professional will be waiting for the other one.

Dressing - It's important to consider how long it will really take to get into that dress. Seldom is it as simple as putting it on and leaving. You will have your hair, nails, makeup done which will require extra care. There will also be about 20 people all running around getting things done or distracting your attention with last minute preparations.

Travel - If you are going to a hair salon or going to the makeup artist, don't forget this little travel because it adds up. Also if you are going from the dressing location to the ceremony in a limo, allow extra time because it takes longer to get everyone in the limo and the trip is slower. Plus the photographer will want to take pictures of you and the bride's maids with the limo, in the limo, etc. It may seem strange to plan for these little delays but in the end this is what ends up delaying the wedding the most.

Photographer - If you want the photographer at the dressing location, you usually only need them 15-30 minutes early. However also consider the time you are actually leaving the dressing location to get to the ceremony. You need to leave time for your photographer to be there a few minutes before the ceremony to do some setup. Your photographer is also going to shoot plenty of formals after the wedding. So plan to have something for your guests to do (cocktail hour) so the photographer can finish as quickly as possible. Normally the formals can take 30 minutes. However, if you have lots of required shots or a very large family plan for much longer. Don't plan for the photographer to leave the reception early either. The time starts to slip and usually the last things at the reception are the cake and the bouquet toss. You don't want to miss the pictures of these.

Videographer - Much of the same applies for video as it does with photography. The videographers usually film the occurrences of the day and don't take your time for things like formals. You should decide if you need before ceremony video or not. In any case the ceremony and reception are key to film if you want a video.

DJ/Band - Make sure the DJ can get into the venue as early as they need to setup the equipment and test the sound. You don't want to delay things because of a microphone problem. Depending on the amount of equipment you should ensure the DJ can start setting up an hour before the reception.

Ceremony Location - You want to make sure the location is accessible early enough for the room to be decorated. Also leave time for video/photographers, musicians, and official to prepare, though they should have enough time assuming they can setup while the decorators do.

Reception Location - Again, leave time for the decoration, video, photographer, and DJ. Also don't forget about the cake decorator and caterers. After your ceremony and formal photographs, you will still need to give the photographers and videographers extra time to setup at the new location. Will you have a temporary bridal room at the reception location where you can wait until your party gets announced? If not, consider taking the scenic route or joining the cocktail hour.

Caterer - It can be much better to have the reception venue do the catering or use the caterer referred by the reception venue because they need to know the location very well and have a good working relationship with the reception staff. Also consider the amount of time it will take to get everyone served. This often goes beyond expectations pushing other activities later in the evening. Usually brides are concerned with the cost difference of buffet and plate service. Find out the estimated serving time of each of these for your number of guests and it can help make your decision easier. Food stations and family style can help speed things up while keeping costs lower than plate service.

No matter what you plan, everything can change. Keeping these things in mind while planning will help your wedding be a huge success.

Do you start pulling out your gear several months before you take a hunting trip? If your anything like me, the day after you schedule a hunt, you start preparing for the trip. I spend so much time researching and preparing for a trip, by the time it finally arrives, it's almost a little depressing. If you haven't experienced this part of the hunt your missing a lot of fun and below are some tips to living the hunt, not just while your there, but for months beforehand.

Let's use my trip to New Zealand with Craigieburn Alpine Safaris as an example to illustrate the process I go through when planning for a hunt. My father and brother-in-law had booked the trip in my absence at a hunting convention. I didn't know the outfitter, the location, or the animals available, not to mention the terrain, the type of hunting or anything else for that matter.

My first step was to track down the outfitter's website. I studied it thoroughly learning about the location of the hunt, the species available, pondering what I wanted to hunt and learning about what was available. There were beautiful pictures of mountain summits and massive red stags with crowned antlers. I could almost smell the mountain air.

I next called on a few friends that had hunted for stag or had been to New Zealand hunting for chamois, stag, and tahr. It's always best in my opinion to speak to someone you know first, to learn what to ask. I learned many hunts in New Zealand are fenced rather than free range. The chamois and tahr are often hunted with helicopters, and the stags are classified by bronze, silver, or gold medal depending on the size and whether they were taken free range or not. I definitely wanted to hunt free range and I wanted to take a chamois by the power of my two legs rather than a helicopter.

Next I studied the internet to learn all I could about New Zealand and New Zealand hunting. I read about the country and learned about the animals and how they are hunted. I discovered their are two islands, the South and the North and the terrain is extremely different as well as the type of hunting. I was happy to know we would be hunting the South Island.

I bought a book on hunting New Zealand a relived another hunter's experiences. I also bought a few hunting videos featuring New Zealand hunts. It amazing how much more real the hunt becomes when you see the terrain and watch other hunters taking trophies. There is nothing that compares to this experience and it helps with any type of hunt you are taking. This is also one of my favorite hunt preparation routines. Nothing like a great hunting video to pass those long evenings.

My next step was to contact the outfitter. By this point I had gathered enough information to ask about pricing, hunting gear lists, exact location, how we would be hunting and what kind of physical condition I needed to be in. I soon learned it was time to get in shape. I also searched the internet for additional gear lists and began paging through Cabela's to fill out my missing gear. I can spend hours in a large outdoor store checking out gear and choosing what I want. Most I can't afford, but if you don't enjoy this part of the preparation, you need your head checked.

Once I learned the location, it was time to pull up Google Maps. This software is truly amazing and allows you to literally scout the terrain from your computer. I can't think of how many times someone has told me about a special hunting spot that I then checked out on my laptop. You can cruise down the roads, set on top of a hill and view the surrounding, see all the nooks and crannie that hide critters, mark your favorites spots, and more. If you haven't tried it, your missing the boat! Just remember, those mountains are a lot bigger in real life.

Now it was time to start pulling out my hunting gear. I always pull out twice as much gear as I need several months before the hunt and start whittling it down as the hunt draws near. I pack up my backpack and carry it around as part of my excercise routine (minus the rifle) just to see how it fits. I also start making trips to the range to knock the dust off the old rifle and make sure that once in a lifetime shot counts.

The closer the time came for the hunt, the more I dreamed of big stags and shaggy tahr. It was tough to sleep at all the last couple weeks before the trip. I had gone over my gear a hundred times, honed my rifle skills, beat my body into shape, and all that was left was to relax and let the guide do the work.

Like I said, the hunt starts long before the day of the trip and I enjoy every minute of it.
