Tips, Hints, Hacks and Wrinkles

 

Reprinted from Forest and Stream: A Weekly Journal of the Rod and Gun, 1904

We all know what tips and hints are, but hacks and wrinkles, what’s that!  Is it a disease, can I catch it when I am in the woods?!

Well, no, and hopefully, yes.  Tips, hints, hacks and wrinkles are simply different words to describe the same thing: advice, helpful suggestions, a clue, expert information  or knowledge of a way of doing something that is infrequently written down and can only be learned by experience, hopefully someone else’s experience.

I hope that you keep reading my blog, because I am an avid collector of hints, tips, hacks and wrinkles, and on these pages I will share them with you.
