In case any of you are not aware of a wonderful series that overlaps our hobby I want to point it out. When I attended NCS at Philmont last year I had the pleasure of meeting Harold White in person. By this point he had already filmed many history loaded videos from the National Scout Museum, I mostly see their content...Read More

I have a peculiar habit as a college football fan this season. I get so wrapped up in the games of my alma mater that I have taken to not watching them live on purpose. Because the SC Gamecocks are playing top 20 teams every week lately it's easier for me to go to the warehouse for a few hours...Read More

Yesterday I implemented the Eisenhower Matrix idea in the warehouse that was mentioned in Tuesday's issue. I created over 50 project cards and ranked each one on a scale of 1-3 focused on difficulty, profit and urgency. This now charts a clear path as to what I need to do first in the warehouse. By the end of the day...Read More

It's often true that for something to become a trend among teens that the "cool kids" must be doing it. At least that was my experience back in the 1980s. So in my lodge right now (somehow) it's cool to have a patch briefcase. At Fellowship this weekend I took three that I got in recent collections and gifted them...Read More

This morning I have a brand new unboxing going out that features a nice pre-WWII Eagle Scout collection. What I like about this one is that the family has it completely intact with the cards, sash etc. It's also nice because unlike many collections I get this gentlemen got reengaged later as an adult and worked so hard his council...Read More

1930s Eagle Scout Collection Unboxing From TX

Sometimes I get a collection that is so complete that it has to become a permanent display. This collection that belonged to a late 1930s Eagle Scout is awesome because it's so intact. Imagine keeping your membership cards from 90 years ago!? The merit badge sash has some really interesting patches including many of the farming badges that are now...Read More

I'm heading to Camp Barstow this weekend to attend the Muscogee Lodge Fall Fellowship. I'm looking forward to seeing old friends. We have quite a bit of clean up work to do at camp with downed limbs and some trees. But luckily our VP of Properties Bill Eiselle has kept us way ahead of the curve on taking down compromised...Read More

Finally every box has been opened and every loose item has a home in the warehouse. I spent almost all of my Saturday out there tackling the project because I was so close to the finish line.   I still need to do the clean up and putting everything away but like I told my wife last night I'm 99.9%...Read More

Thanks to some of you that reached out to ask about my daughter who attends a small college near Asheville NC. Monday and Tuesday we hosted 4 of her friends that had come down off the mountain. Then dad got smart and booked them three nights at Edisto Beach State Park and they have been enjoying a camping trip south...Read More

As always use the shopping cart feature and when you checkout with 5 or more items you can also qualify for free shipping!   For some weeks I've talked about...Read More

Yesterday on a random Saturday in the fall we had 5 people working at the warehouse! Some of that was because Friday was a scratch day with Charlotte getting the impact of the hurricane through the morning. But still my son needed to get his monthly work hours in (gotta pay for that cell phone) and we needed to get...Read More

Unboxing 55 Pounds of Scouting Memorabilia Reveals Century Old Museum Quality Eagle Scout Scrapbook

For two years I had these three boxes of Scouting memorabilia sitting on a shelf in my warehouse. The boxes had been there so long I seemed to remember I needed to film an unboxing but had honestly forgot what was so special about the collection. In real time as you watch this video you will see the moment when...Read More

I really can't make this up! For two years on the bottom shelf of a room in my warehouse sat three boxes from a collection I purchased. I knew that there was some good stuff there and it deserved the effort to film and publish an unboxing video. But I honestly forgot the unicorn item in among the 55 pounds...Read More

I thought I'd share a picture from the warehouse that I took last week after cataloging all the unlisted inventory that is ready to be photographed. I'm sure in every business you have been in there are a string of processes for how things are done. So in my warehouse we have implemented this card system whereby each card corresponds...Read More

  This weekend I bit off more than I could chew. Leaving Charlotte at 6 AM I headed to central GA to view and purchase a collection. That all went well. But my next stop took me into the heart of an Atlanta suburb. I could see the traffic picking up. But still that 2nd stop was successful and I...Read More
