At Flying-Squirrel.org, I work diligently to provide you with the most accurate information available, relying heavily upon my own outdoor experience, my analytical and design background as an engineer, and the fortifying effects of coffee.  That said, I hesitate to call myself an “expert” on anything!  I make no representations or warranties of any kind (either expressed or implied) about the completeness, accuracy, reliability, suitability or availability of any information, products, services or associated graphics posted on Flying-Squirrel.org for any purpose.

When I list information about current product prices, operating details of businesses, website addresses, and information of this ilk, please double-check the accuracy before taking any action.

Please also be aware that, although I make every effort to be accurate at the time of publication, some information will obviously become less accurate or relevant as time evolves. If in the course of using Flying-Squirrel.org you should find any inaccuracies, please notify me, so I can make appropriate corrections!
