They do? Interesting. I have no idea why PayPal does what, when and why. But at the moment it still is the best way for us to do these things. Aaaand - are there more folks who have to tell us something? Cointributions for the lottery? Thoughts, ideas? :) September is coming. And then we'll have ano...

That is true. And sad. What puzzles me all the time, is the fact that there are folks who are members, post, become a real part of the community and - gone. But... A few month later they contact me - for example Ryan Fitts - appologize that they vanished and ask me to reactivate their account. I do ...

Hm. We have 36 members here, who can post in here. And only 8 who actually say something...?
That's not exactly overwhelming, isn't it...?

THAT is what I mean, when I talk about roo whips! EXACTLY THAT! You have no idea, how much whip makers advertise their whips as " Made entirely from 1st grade roo "... And in over 60% that is a blatant lie. More than 60%... Simply because they use cowhide for the core and the bolsters. Be...

As you know I am extremely picky when it comes to new members for the Ring of Trust. Well - after a long time, we now have a new member. It's our Jessie. Jessica Edwards from Sui Generis whips. I was from moment one on very critical on her work and I told her more than once that she can do better. A...

I thank you , Pardner! We had a lot of drama. Every now and then. Lots of folks, who describe this place as family. And one day - they simply disappear. But that‘s okay. As we say here, you should never stop a traveller. And when people think that they can find more infos and help, well. I will not ...

The George Pal version of the Time Machine is still one of my favorites. I hated the remake though. Remake? What remake...? Once there was a fu****** bad movie with something „Time and „Machine“ in the title. But there is only one real The Time Machine in this world. I watched that movie veeeery, v...

That whip is a typical Jessie Edwards whip. And it is great! Jessie has her very own „handwriting“. I love the color. I don‘t know why, but this combination - together with the end plate in the heel - it makes a real difference. From the picture I think, that the handle design would make that whip a...

Ron, thank you for your comment. But I made a mistake. It is 350.00 for a 7 footer - no ferrule. Simple standard. And while you get a highly advanced whip with wooden handle and fancy plaiting for 250.00 bucks from well known (and known for their quality!) whip makers, you‘ll have a simple 4 ft. nyl...

Here you go, Tyler... It‘s amazing. Every now and then I hear from folks who are (literally!) shocked by some whip makers prices. For example: Nick Schrader charged 350.00 bucks for a 6ft. Nylon Whip. A nylon whip...!!! Not gold nor platinum. Just paracord. People ask me if that price is really just...

10 years of Whip Basics

Dear all, yesterday it was 10 years that we exist. 10 years doesn't sound too much in "real" life. In Internet time, 10 years is an Eternity. From the folks who started the whole thing, is - except me - no one left. I think that Tyler is amongst the oldest (in terms of being a member - not...

You are so right, Rachel. So right... I keep telling the people that whip cracking is not about making noise. It is about improving your hand/eye coordination. To improve your overall fitness. And to have a little fun outside :)

Okay. Good to know. Thank you for the info. I was about to delete his account. Short after the accident he posted two times and then nothing. I mailed him, but never received an answer. At least he‘s on the mend. That‘s the good news.

Okay. To finish this up - here is the promised donation receipt from the shelter.
