Well the bowie and 1911 are actually belt carried lol.
-
I haven't seen any threads or post on this in awhile. I always though it was intresting what people carry on a day to day baze. Feel free to post pics as often as you like of pocket dumps. This is mine from today. 1911, plain brushed zippo, Case Large trapper, Leatherman MUT, ezgo vape setup, custom bowie, Jack Daniels wallet, bandana and antique finished knucks.

Lift more, camp more, spend more time in the blacksmith shop and on the motorcycle.

I love his attitude. At least he isn't kissing the ass of every moron who screws up an order then blames him. The customer is not always right. Of course it helps Ive ran quite a hit of his gear and its basically bomb proof.

More on What I Feel Is The Most Likely Scenario
Spots replied to Moped's topic in Survival and Preparedness
Accuracy by volume. Give me a 240 with a lot of belts and a long and wide field of fire with a wall at my back. Or a Minigun hooked to a generator and the worlds longest ammo belt. The grid going down is a concern, but I have less worries than most. We have a draft horse so I dont have to worry about fuel production for farm work or transportation. We have wood stoves for heating and cooking, as well as axes and mauls for firewood harvesting and the knowledge to do so. The blacksmith shop can operate with zero electricty, etc. I feel like in light of such an event, were probably in the upper 10% of prepadness, though not quiet Amish level. -
Respect is lost on people. I'm not saying that myself being the sweet innocent Choir boy I am would do anything, but I know a.... friend who has a habit of removing valve cores from tires on vehicles without a tag or placard in HC spots. No permanent damage, but I bet its a lot more time consuming trying to figure out how to refill that flat tire than that 50' walk you saved yourself by thinking you were entitled and parking there.

Merry Christmas TGO. My Christmas will start in the morning when I get off work lol.

Its called a Wharncliff and makes the point a leading point which is better for self defense. The edge drags the point into the cut as you cut.

Again. You missed putting the word again at the end of your post. And yeah all I can think of now is this "Lola"- The Kinks: http://youtu.be/nVXmMMSo47s

Ive been there. They do really good work. Joes barbershop in clinton is the same way, he does a great job for about $10. I always used him when I was in on leave and he did my razor fades. Meh. I can get that at home without spending $10 lol. A barbershop/haircut is a chance to relax for me. I dont care if it takes 2 hours lol. But its jot for everyone, some guys like yourself don't have any desire for that.

Question Regarding a Possible Situation
Spots replied to 101's topic in Handgun Carry and Self Defense
I think you did the right thing. I'm kind of a hit head and have no tolerance for idiots or bullshit. I have yelled at more than one driver and have no issues pulling up beside a driver who endangers me as a pedistraion, motorcycle rider or a driver and giving them a piece of my mind. I will gladly back that up with physical actions if I need too. This society is in the shape its in because of to many people turning the other cheek. Back in the summer a driver hit me on purpose at a stop sign because he thought I was trying to get around him. He clipped my front tire at a stop sign, then sped off. I caught him 3 red lights up the road. I had my hand on his door handle when he noticed me and ran the redlight. Would I have went to jail? Probably. Would he have ever hit another motorcycle on purpose? its doubtful. He would have been lucky not to be eating through a straw and relearning to write his name. I refuse to let bullies run over me or hurt people who can't defend themselves. I do have the knowledge and ability to stand up to those who would hurt others in society and I will do so at every opportunity. That doesnt make me a badass. But it does make me a man, one of convictions like I was raised to be. -
That actually started with loggers. My dads got a book that shows them logging out the PNW back in the early to mid 1900's and some guys have their jeans rolled up. It keeps you from tearing off the hems with caulked (spiked sole) boots. Now its just another trend for wanna be Lumbersexuals.
-
Awww crap. I guess im out. I'm gonna go cry into my $11 a pint craft beer
-
If those didnt say Brooks Brothers they would be almost kinda cool. They look like the boots my Grandpa worked in in the 20's and 30's. That said, $398 to look like some souless hipster? Thats pocket change. They will go perfectly with my $400 skinny jeans, $150 plaid shirt, $300 canvas daypack and my hand forged $300 axe so that I can go cut wood like a real lumber jack.......
-
Why not? Every 1911 manufacturer out there has been doing it for years. :stir:
-
You were either at Kroger, or Oak Ridge Nissan lol. You shoulda walked up and said Hi. Yeah I'll hit you up next time I'm gonna make an appointment
-
I used to always do mine in the military with clippers, but decided I would start trying something different. And for a luxury every few months, $30 ain't much. Though if I was a bachelor, I'd still have a shaved head, and a much woolier beard lol. Kids cuts are some cheaper, and I think a beard trim by itself is $10 or so.
-
Thats it. At $25 its the most I've ever paid for a cut by double. Its also the best cut I've ever gotten and was a nice treat over the norm. Of course. But I prefer to be reffered to as a lumbersexual.
-
Whatever you wanna call it. Reminded me of the first barbershop I visited as a kid in the atmosphere of men sitting around talking, though it was much larger and high class. They do head shaves lol

So I started going to a new barbershop this week. Its called Franks Barbershop, off Northshore in Knoxville. Let just say its an amazing experience. I called and made an appointment, they were very accommodating and easy to get ahold of. When I got there I was greeted by two lovely women at the front desk. One confirmed my appointment, then showed me to the lounge and offered water or a very good root beer in a frosted mug. I took the root beer lol. While I was waiting I noticed they have very comfy seats, dart boards, chess boards and a pool table. I knocked out a quick game of pool out with another gentleman there while I waited. My barber was right on time, and she was very nice. She was chatty, asked me how I wanted my cut, etc. She gave me a quick shoulder and neck massage, then a perfect cut, followed by a shampoo and condition with a hot towel on my face. When she was done, she styled it perfectly and recommended a pomade for the style I wanted (slicked back undercut) she also trimmed my beard and mustache perfectly, and I don't trust many people with my beard lol. All in all I would say if you want a great, old school experience then you need to give this place a try. It was $25 for the cut, and they also do hot shaves, and tons of other services. You will have to deal with some hipsters (I was the only one in dirty work boots), but its well worth it.

I hate those type of rigs. You end up staring down the barrel of the pistol if your behind him.

My first package showed up about a week ago or a lil more. It had four low budget knives in it and a bunch of stickers. I thought it a lil odd, as it seemed kinda random, but was Thankful for someone sending me a present. Well turns out Santa has a senze of humor. I came home from work this am to find another box. Santa ordered up some presents from Northern Crescent iron. As a blacksmith, I find this compaines work is incredibly impressive. The dice are gonna be carried as a conversation piece from time to time. The detail on the spike knife is stunning. From the bottom of my heart, Thank you Santa.

There was a Son killed at the gun warehouse this season also.

The bum leg is because he broke a toe during filming. Sutter tweeted about it earlier.
