Dont let them give you an excuse about attachments Larry. Its the political establishment trying to silence all the wisdom being spewed in the sewer......errrrr......political section on here. They're so close to the truth it's making THEM take notice.

Use a sharpie and mark what you want and I'll re profile it for you. Easy enough.

Got 16" earlier this week and some on the way tomorrow. All the higher elevations have kept snow for the most part since last storm. Did 10 miles in Taconics this morning and broke trail for almost 3 miles solo. Then met a party of 20 somethings on way down. Sucks breaking trail solo only to find you could have let a group do the work. Lol But all good, that trail I regular see BIG rattlesnakes and is overgrown with knee high brush so you can't see your feet in summer. Nice to make time not hoping something is getting out of the way.

Holy chit, folks using that for corvid? That's livestock dewormer, can people even take that? I got a whole jug here for cheap anyone wants to try it. Tractor supply special.

I was close, they are 27's......

There's an adage in cold weather gear. Cotton kills. It holds water and loses it thermal use. It also keeps moisture against the skin and doesn't breathe. Buy some Tholo or Smartwool socks, Darn Tough is good too. I dont even own anything cotton for outdoors (frankly indoors either, hate the stuff, I own one pair of denim pants that I never wear). I'm all synthetics with a tiny bit of wool blends outside/work.

I use some tubbs for flat stuff occasionally, but mostly some msr lightning ascents . Pricey for occasional use, but for steep terrain/ ice conditions they are outstanding. Way beyond tubing frames for aggressive. I have a rental pair of tubbs came from EMS that I am selling cheap. Good shape, good bindings, I think their 25's. Load rated to I'd guess 160-70 lbs. or close.

If one is a bit handy, it's easy to build a fire rated closet for gun or ammo storage. On commercial construction renovations fire rated metal jamb and door combos typically 1 1/2 hr rated get tossed all the time. A commercial door supplier often has miss orders around the warehouse too. A couple layers of 5/8 fire rated rock inside and out ( dont forget the ceiling and floor) and you have more room then a safe. One similar closet holds ammo for me, and a second closet built with some more security in mind holds a safe or two with in. The gun section requires the safe style door, welded jamb and some wall to be removed to take out the safes, so no one can take the whole box. Walls are block and reinforced, covered in fire rated rock 2 layers, poured ceiling on CMD, radiant concrete floor keeps it dry, but have a dehumidifier that maybe runs a week a year total. Depends how many times I access and air changes during the summer. Its painted with a rubber membrane outside for moisture proof. It's a closet built within the structure. I figure with the skidsteer and a demo hammer it would take a few hours to get any meaningful access. Theives just dont hang that long. They can have any of the other crap laying around. Tools are a online order away. Fire and resulting water are my immediate concerns.

Let's see, on my way home from work..... Milk Eggs And oh ya......fresh produce to throw down my garbage blender cause it's a stinking waste hole. LOL. I'm having a some fun out of this because appliances were delivered on jobsite this week. Plumber asks about island sink, and we both rolled our eyes when I mention a disposal came. Just then electrician turns the corner. Sees the box and mutters, oh great f'ing disposal. And we all laughed. When it fails, we all get called. Cabinet guys cause we supplied it, plumber cause it's got a pipe, and electrician cause it got a wire.

I've put in 14 kitchens last 4 months, this week on 15 is the first where one showed up with the appliances. Nice job too, how disappointing. In 32 years of residential work, any client that's had one, when you ask if they want again it's the most emphatic no you can get. Stink like a rotten disgusting mess they are.

Thou shall always have a weapon. Its commandment #11. Them liberals chopped it off the tablets back in the day. Wanted to outlaw slings too after that kid killed the big dude. You can take an eye out with them things.

Hunted either end of the Quebec caribou season and the winter animals were good too. Ridiculous cold. Shame those days wont happen again with population crash. Have had red deer in Portugal, Spain, and New Zealand similar to elk imo. Axis deer is also outstanding, and you'd rank it right up there. Have had moose from various places and it never has disappointed. Top 5 overall in no order, Caribou, Kudu, Zebra, Moose, Springbok Top 5 eating deer family Caribou, Moose,Elk, Axis, Fallow

Tastes like chicken, the dog. Not the deer. Hunted fallow in Spain, very good table fare. Took one of mine to the hotel I was staying that had a bistro type place on first floor. They made a couple dishes with that and a whole neighborhood showed up for one heck of a party. They did up my mouflon sheep too. Honest, of everything I have eaten in the cervid family, whitetail is on the bottom of just about any game I have tried. A 13yr old tahr (type of goat) is right there too. Also on the dog thing, everywhere but here, having a tracking dog is part and parcel to ethical hunting. Dog goes right in the field with you, not just when you can't find something. Some of the dogs I have hunted with track 4-500 animals a year. Especially true on game ranches in South Africa. The dog gets to track even bang flops, just to keep in practice. With hunting dogs, running baboons with specialist dogs is the single best time i have ever had afield.

Demi Moore could do it with a buff body and shaved head.... So yes.

On the reloading end of things..... Anyone looking for Swift bullets, they must have made some shipments. Found A frames in 375 /300gr and 277/140gr online. Just need some 375 solids and good to go hunting.

I found some clear tubing at hardware store that fits the spout of the typical water jugs for camping. Put an adapter of a few brass fittings to water inlet of heater. When I hook it up I let the water run to make sure heater is full before turning it on. Other then having to put jug up above unit, it works good.

Now you get to play the game.... Do I tap now or wait, tap now or wait....

3x8 and 475 taps, you'll boil that lickity split. Good luck. Windy and cold here today, or I'd be out redoing some tubing.

I have a Gasland tankless using a 5 gal blue water jug for a feed on gravity. Runs on propane. It's small and portable, hangs just about anywhere. Use a plastic mortar tub from a box store for a clean place to stand. Whole setup for $150, unit, tubing , fittings. I've used a solar "sun shower" in remote fly in camps. In direct sun the water is so hot it has to be mixed with cold.

40 would get like 2 spent casings right now. Lol

I noticed that too. In the era of lightweight rifles, that heavy old school. I regular shoot one of the top selling civilian/hunting strait pulls ever made, Blaser. I think my wood stock version is just over 7lbs in 30.06 sans 1 lb for optic.(Its also a switch barrel and barrel bore and length changes its weight by a bit). I dont have any problem changing between strait pull and conventional bolt, but some folks do under pressure. It's very fast for follow ups, but I'm not so sure that means much depending on style of hunting. Other players in strait pulls are the Heym SR 20 and Merkel Helix. All the european players start north of $4k or so, so Savage is well under that price point.

That would be fine. Block feature works on my phone. But other then some sort of legal address, why get tied down? Wanna elk hunt, rent a 4000 acres ranch with a couple landowner permits and have fun for the fall. Buy all the quota for a prime hunting block in Tanzania for the season. Rent an estate on the Hawaiian coast for a few months. Hang out fishing and diving in Mauritius for a spell. Its 800 million now, dream big.

Guess I'm against the norm here. I'd own what I could take in a carry on, just walk away from the rest. My financial person and lawyer would be the only one's with my phone number and pay the tab I left behind. Wouldnt get bogged down with stuff and ownership. Damn, might even buy a ticket now.

Potential feed issues scare me off. But I find all my stuff does better run with authority. I crank that bolt handle on that Jarrett like I'm going to rip it out of the receiver one way and push it out the muzzle on the other when on follow up shots in the field. Seems like that anyway. Lol and about as fast as I can.
