Sunday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter June 05, 2022

    I had a nice call from a guy yesterday out of Arkansas who was an Eagle Scout and part of the OA. He is going to mail me a small box of stuff that I am having him send to my summer camp. Tuesday night Matt Delk and I do a pop up Scout museum program. Since Matt...Read More

    The most satisfying project to complete before leaving for camp was getting my mug collection into a permanent display at my warehouse. I have not had these mugs out in over twenty years. The top row is a Dixie Fellowship mug collection while the bottom is my Pee Dee Area and Camp Coker collections. I told myself when...Read More

Tuesday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter May 31, 2022

    This morning before hitting the publish button I posted my latest unboxing video to YouTube. This one came to me out of New York and includes some nice vintage pieces from Munsi lodge. This Scout attended the 1960 National Jamboree and was later part of a Wood Badge course so had a good Scouting career.   This Scout...Read More

    This might be Memorial Day weekend but there is no holiday from eBay auctions ending on Sunday like usual. Click any of these listings to see what some of the most interesting ones are going for.   I finally may have come up with a TOR strategy that I'm going to stick with. This has been my eternal...Read More

Friday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter May 27, 2022

    I wanted to start off the newsletter by letting everyone know (and I may have mentioned this before) that the Charlotte TOR is TBD for 2022. The church is doing renovations in the fellowship hall this summer and with supply chain issues they are hesitant to schedule anything on the calendar for the space. This likely means that...Read More

    Yesterday after visiting the dentist I made a restocking trip to my antique mall booth in Charlotte at the Sleepy Poet. When I shared pictures on Facebook someone remarked looks like a TOR set up. That's exactly the vibe I am going for.   I have followed the theory that you need to change up the inventory every...Read More

    This weekend I had to get my daughter down to Camp Thunder in Georgia for a Philmont shake down trip. With it being a 5+ hour drive from Charlotte I decided to just find a place to stay over and get some work done. This Air B&B just minutes from the camp was an excellent choice.   Yesterday...Read More

    It has been 11 months since I last published a podcast episode. During that time I've probably put out dozens of YouTube videos but the podcast has been on ice. But Chris Jensen was kind enough to help me break that streak with an interview to promote the Pre-NOAC Trade-O-Ree coming up at the end of July.  ...Read More

Tuesday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter May 17, 2022

    This week I published a new unboxing video that features a collection from Michigan. Based on the items in there I believe the guy did most of his Scouting in Detroit. This video went a little sideways when I realized there were actually two boxes that came in but I stitched it together pretty good. There is a...Read More

Sunday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter May 15, 2022

    I'm getting the Hot Finds published a little later in the day as we were at camp all weekend to help get it ready for the summer. There was a really good turnout. I told the ranger that the most beautiful sound was a pressure washer that I could still hear running at 5 PM Saturday which meant...Read More

Friday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter May 13, 2022

    Over the last 48 hours I have recycled almost 100 pounds of Scouting memorabilia by essentially giving it away for free. In sorting out the warehouse and trying to get things off the top shelves (thanks Fire Marshall Bill) I decided to just post them on FB and let people have them for free if they would agree...Read More

Tuesday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter May 10, 2022

    Today marks 24 days until summer camp so last night I tried something I have not done in my adult life. I started a daily journal to help me plan for what needs to get accomplished and reflect on where I am in the count down. That sparked some ideas for today's warehouse projects including tagging uniforms, pricing...Read More

Sunday Scouting Hot Finds Newsletter May 08, 2022

    Yesterday I went into the office for a few hours to tie up some loose ends and get a little more organized. One of my genius ideas was a little too clever it turns out. I have become very focused on the fact that I have less than 30 days before I leave for summer camp. So I...Read More

    I finally worked on editing the video I recorded of my effort to sort out over thirty collections before going to summer camp. The full version is about 10 minutes long and is posted in my Patreon Group as the May 2022 Inside the Warehouse feature. But I took less than a minute of that video (the time lapse portion)...Read More

    As much as I'm a thread head and patch dealer (which gets a bad rap in Scouting) I try and also be a helpful volunteer Scouter. But there are seasons in Scouting and I'm coming to the end of one of those. My daughter will age out of our Scouts BSA girl troop in a couple of months...Read More
