Spots

I don't mind sharing what I've learned & I have pretty thick skin so no worries, he (and anyone else) is welcome to come down & go hunting or fishing with me, so long as they have the proper license & don't act like a tard/jerkoff or drink/do drugs, we'd probably all have a good time, maybe learn something in the process. I learn new stuff all the time, the trick is to always keep an open mindset to new ideas/ways of doing stuff. Spot's is the man though, I'm just in awe of that dude & his dad, the stuff I could learn from those two would definately be invaluable. I don't know about being the man lol. I was lucky enough to have a dad who believed in do it yourself to the extreme, as well as being competitive and humble at the same time. He learned alot from his dad, and the rest he taught himself from necessity, just as I've had to do with somethings. I learned a ton from him and others I taught myself because I needed to get something done so I just did it. Thank you for the compliments though, they are truly appreciated. And if you ever wanna learn a skill your welcome at our place anytime. We will show you what we do know as we like to share knowledge. Any given weekend that might be blacksmithing, wood working, carpentry, logging, tree climbing, construction, martial arts, gardening, whatever. You and anyone else on this forum is welcome anytime. I believe he's a young pup wanting to run with the big dogs. Check out his new member intro. posted 27 July 2013 - 01:48 AM. Easy. Not all of us young pups are cocky, some of us are hear to learn from the older guys who have already made the mistakes and have some life experiences we can draw from. Tapatalk ate my spelling.

I finally got some new work boots. Ive been using my issued boots for almost 2 years now and they finally gave up the ghost. Ive always preffered heavy leather boots, and found a set of Red Dawg 12" tall loggers on sale and picked them up. Ive had them for a week and so far I love the height and sturdiness. Now the hate part. I forgot how much of a complete pain in the ass it is to break in solid leather work boots. Ive worn them in and they get better everyday, but Im getting ready to soak them in water tonight and wear them dry, then when my new can of sno seal gets here Im gonna oil the hell out of them to make them softer and waterproof them a bit. What do you guys do to make the break in process easier? Pass along your tips and tricks Pics Fresh from the box After a weeks work Tapatalk ate my spelling.

This rain has delayed constructing of our new home for the past two weeks. It's got to stop sooner or later or we're going end up moving about 2 months later than originally planned. We did a basement last month. We would come in, lay block from 7:00 to 12:30, pack up, go eat lunch and drive home in the rain. It rained without fail everyday for the entire 2 weeks we laid block, starting between 1200 and 100. Construction across the state is taking a hit, and its especially rough getting footers dug and poured and block and brick laid right now. I feel your pain man. Tapatalk ate my spelling.

How about "most gun and ammo" for size and weight? How about most gun and ammo that is effective on any game larger than rabbit? A rifle is only a club without ammo. So when I say gun I automatically include ammo and mags. I also give thought to how many uses the firearm has and ballistics. So you can carry 500 .22lr shells, bu5 thats not gonna mean shit if you have to defend yourself against a determined attacker. Where as a combat load of 7 30 rd mags of 5.56 can make a hell of a difference. Tapatalk ate my spelling.

Depends. Do you like to sharpen, or do you just want sharp knives? If you dont care how they get sharp, but a 1 x 30 belt grinder from harbor freight. 120, 220, 320, 400, 600, 800 grit belte and a leather strop belt. I can make a butter knife shave in less than 5 minutes. Just take it easy and keep the blade cool to the touch using water Tapatalk ate my spelling.

I dont want the most gun. I just want the most gun for the size and weight. And that sure aint gonna be .22 lr anything. Tapatalk ate my spelling.

This thread is about nothing but validation of your choices to use a .22 lr in either a handgun or long gun. People give you suggestions and you respond by saying that answer doesn't fit your exact parameters. Welcome to the internet. When you post a question here, your gonna get opinons. Some are worth listening to, others aren't worth a tinkers damn. I would advise you read them all and consider them all. There are some very smart people here with tons of experience in survival situations and military situations. If you post a question with options a and b and 90% of the answer list option c, I might take that into consideration. That said, if I took one long rifle and one pistol on a bug out? Im taking my 1911 and my AR soon to be in 6.8. 22 lr is useless for damn near anything other than small game. You can't get consietent kills on medium sized and larger game, you cant do much more than harass a determined attack force. And a pistol is nothing but a qay to fight your way to a rifle. Harder to get good accuracy, less powerful ammo and smaller capacity. If my plan involved a .22 lr anything I would consider adding another weapon and leave the .22 for squirrels. Tapatalk ate my spelling.

I posted here once already but I'm revamping. 1. 6.8 SPC 2 AR with full auto and 10.5 barrel with a can. 2. Springfield Armory 5.25 xdm 9mm 3. Custom forged bush sword or hand made skull basher Tapatalk ate my spelling.

Depends on who you are. I can water a garden during a drought, this rain is killing my garden and making everything rot. Not to mention its impossible to masonry work in this crap, it makes driving dangerous, and a lot of low level areas are flooding every week. The grass grows so damn fast I cant keep it cut down, everytime I climb on the mower it either threatens rain or does rain. And with a 3 acre yard, its a pain in the ass for it not to look like a hayfield. I'll take a drought anyday. Tapatalk ate my spelling.

Thats your opinion. Ive had my butt saved from stuff it shouldn't have made it through enough times to believe that miracles can and do happen. Its rare to see a self defense shooting on tape, so I guess those never happen either huh? No point in carrying a gun I guess. I wouldn't get into a relegious argument, but I will say that I believe everything happens for a reason. Maybe she got thrown from that car to save a childs life down the road where she would have been driving. Or maybe she was pregnant ornwoukd have been with the next Hitler or Obama. I love people who believe they have everything in complete control and know why itnall works the way it does. Tapatalk ate my spelling.

Yeah sadly he didn't shoot the SOB dead. Book him for reckless endangerment for firing a warning shot, and suggest a good range so that next time its not a warning shot. Thieves deserve nothing but the end of a rope or a bullet. The law can say property can't be protected, and lots of people here think no material object is worth a humans life. Well, once you made the decision to steal, your life just became worth a hell of a lot less than my stuff, consdering how hard I bust my ass to barely make it. Maybe next time it'll be a dead thief and a happy ending. Tapatalk ate my spelling.

A SIG p226 is one of my favorite handguns. Its on my short list of must buys, its accurate, reliable and steel. And I just love the way they shoot. It is a little higher than $500 though. Tapatalk ate my spelling.

I sold two knives last year. Both to members here. One sent a money order, one sent a check two days later. They both disappeared. Literally. Neither was ever cashed, or seen or heard from again. USPS is great on price most of the time, but they are getting fairly careless.

I fixed that for you.

That is cheaper than a lot of places, but that's not fire sale pricing. $1500-$1600 should be average depending on what model you like. I've given serious consideration to a plain jane fiberglass stocked standard as they are a couple hundred cheaper than the wood stocked at $1350. But at this point I don't have enough money for either, so oh well lol.

That's just your standard M1A isn't it, or do they have a longer barrell? You are correct that is the standard. To me it most closely resembles the original m14 design. Springfield makes several model. In full size (22.5" barrel) they have standards in fiberglass and wood stocks. They have loaded and National Match models, with some extra goodies. And they have m21's which is a long distance setup. Then they have scout models which is an 18.5" barrel, and the smallest ones which is the Socom 16 as seen here, and the Socom 2 that adds a quad rail. You can see all models here, and they get them all in with some regularity. http://www.sportsmansoutdoorsuperstore.com/category.cfm/CurrentPage/1/sportsman/semi-auto-rifles/brand/SPRINGFIELD Tapatalk ate my spelling.

You guys are gonna laugh at this.... Battle: Los Angeles. My reason why is because that got most of the shit about the Marines right. The right weapons, getting the boot drunk before deployment, they got the ranks right and how they referred to each other. I didn't hear one person called Sarge or anything retarded. They also got the uniforms and equipment right or at least much closer than almost anything else. And the best part? It shows a lot of CH-46 helicopters and I have a long history with Phrogs. Act of Valor was good, especially the hot extract scene involving the SWCC team. Black Hawk down. Lots of bullshit that takes away from the real story because its a movie but good entertainment. If I was the drying type I would tear up at the scene were the two Delta operator's die saving Micheal Durant, the crashed pilot. We were Soliders and Saving Pvt Ryan are two of the most powerful Ive ever seen. I could never get in to the older stuff for some reason. I do have a soft spot for heartbreak ridge, Full Metal jacket and a few others. Tapatalk ate my spelling.

I was wondering the same thing Since I am not a vendor here anymore, then I dont advertise my wares so as not to violate any rules. I post them here because people seem to be intrested in knife making. You are welcome to pm me if you would like though. Tapatalk ate my spelling.

Ive wanted one bad for months now, but Ive always had an intrest in them. The only difference is I want one with a wood stock and 22.5" barrel. Tapatalk ate my spelling.

Would you prefer an open casket or closed? Tapatalk ate my spelling.

I have. Ive been bite once by a blacksnake when I was 14. I was young and stupid and messing with it and it bit my hand. Then when I was 18 I stepped on a copperhead and it nailed me in the calf. Went home, cleaned the marks, drank some shine and went to bed. Stayed in bed for 24 hours. Felt like shit, but no nasty side affects afterwards. Can barely see the scars now. The blacksnake made me sicker than a dog, had to g9 t9 the doc for antibiotics on that one. I always wear heavy work boots, and have had several strike my boot when I was catching them. Heavy leather boots are a good thing in snake country. Tapatalk ate my spelling. are blacksnakes venomous? sent barefoot from the hills of Tennessee No but from what I remember the bacteria in its mouth gave me an infection Tapatalk ate my spelling.

I'll own that rifle before the year is out. Just watch and see. Tapatalk ate my spelling.

Screw this much rain. Its killing me at work. Ive been working with my father in law. Hes a general contractor but we do mostly masonry, so rain puts us behind schedule and low on funds. Tapatalk ate my spelling.

Bout as big as they are known to get; hell, you might have had the world's record there, could maybe have made a buck some way or another on it! - OS This was about 15 years ago. I was only 10 or so.
