Re: A couple of new Bushcraft knives - Garcia & Jawerth
nice knives! On the first picture the small chain in the background caught my atention. When we were travelling in WA we stopped about 200kms north of Newman and I found a chain exactly the same in a almost cave-like rock ledge! It's exactly the same as the one in the picture and about half a meter ...

Re: Man Vs Wild SBS
That 'Bear' guy is a real show pony. I was at first looking forward to the show but soon decided that I'd rather see the snakes eat HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In one episode he found a spring in the middle of the desert and ate a frog he found there. It was probably one of the two frogs that live there ...

Hello 'Dragon'...
You said that you were going to have a go at leather working and it looks like you have learnt it really well!
I'll see you at the next shoot we just happen to be at....
Cheers, Wolfgang
P.S. I like your quote at the bottom... shows how complicated it all is!

Re: 1 Peace Recurve Bow Buildalong.
Congratulations mate!
I love the shape, woods, length... Ok just the bow in general!
In particular I like the look of the riser head-on, with the wavy looking wood.
Great work and hope you get many hours of enjoyment out of it.

The fox ran past him at 7 meters and Jefeory shot instinctivly even though he had sights on his bow. Roscoe, I sent you a ...

Re: Couple of rabbit questions
I think 25# to 30# with some sharp broadheads will do the job very well. With that setup you'll be fine.
so with your knew bow I hope you get a few bunnies and have fun while doing it!

Re: minimum poundage
I think a 40# bow shooting well matched arrows and shaving sharp broad heads would do the job on a goat. But Like the others, it's best to have atleast 45# just to be safe. But like everything, it all depends...
