Shore Lunch Cooking Kit
Big Zac's Shore Lunch Sac provides everything needed for
preparing and enjoying a perfect shore lunch. The stove itself is unique because you can cook with wood, gas, or charcoal. Ideal for fishing, hunting, camping, and other outdoor
adventures, Big Zac's Shore Lunch Sac packs all the necessities into one convenient carrier. Labeled removable pouches organize every item-from the fish batter to the stove-for
easy access and storage. When packed and zipped, the sac
is about the size of a large hat box and stows easily in the front
of the boat. It includes the stove, chair, stainless steel plates,
and silverware-everything needed for a shore lunch except the fish. BIG ZAC'S OUTDOORS, WWW.BIGZACS.COM

or recyclable material. The mats are also lighter and more maneuverable than many
others on the market. The SureTrak mat's relatively light weight coupled with builtin handles contributes to the ease and quickness of installation and pickup. Available in 100% recycled material, the 4'x8' SureTrak mat is also offered in customizable, virgin, high density polyethylene
that is 100% recyclable. TuffTrak, a much larger, heavier-duty mat, is made of solid one-piece construction and is available in 100% recycled and recyclable composite material. NEW SOUTH EQUIPMENT MATS, 866.922.6287, WWW.NEWSOUTHMAT.COM

Mechanical Earth Drills
Little Beaver's line of MDL Mechanical Earth Drills offers a
safe and productive solution for one-man hole digging applications. Featuring a 360-RPM operating speed, the drills
are faster and produce cleaner holes than similar competitive units, while the compact design allows access to areas
unreachable by skid steer-mounted augers. Reliable, powerful, and lightweight, four models are available with powerful overhead valve gas engines. The units can be used on
lawns, golf course greens, and other delicate surfaces without causing damage. A steel torque tube
allows operators to use large diameter augers, providing easier drilling without fear of dangerous kickback.
Kits can easily convert the MDL drill
into a horizontal
boring machine.
A universal auger is included and tips
can easily be changed out depending on surface
type. To reach further digging depths, snap-on
auger extensions are also available.
