I don't have to look at them to have fun listening to them

When you name your pics to you make sure there are no spaces in the name? you name a pic "this_pic.jpg" rather than "this pic.jpg"
The gap means that many forums refuse to load the pic

This discussion has become utterly ridiculous. To make an analogy that calling a broadhead "widowmaker" will elicit the same emotional response as calling a town Auschwitz is patently false, and the claim that..... you can dress a town up with wonderfully efficient infrastructure and call ...

I don't get all patriotic about our flag, but I do about the ideals I see in the people (nation) that it represents. They weren't burning the flag as much as they were telling all the rest of us that they hate everything about what that flag represents. Bigoted and intolerant activists that can't he...

My work mate is looking at buying a bow package and has been told that if they are both in the same package or case that he can't do that as it is considered a weapon. This is rubbish I have taken my bow to NZ many times and it is no problem at all. All the NZ authorities care about is the quaranti...

I use the green stick, it is a little courser, but the white will do the job just as well. You can get the razor edge and have a long lasting bevel if you are careful how you use your strop. If your leather is soft and has a little give you push the whole grind into the strop (flat) and then drag th...

A convex edge is best for two reasons. The first is because we are all just human and we are not robots, the second is because we use what tools we find best and easiest and we are not using the grinders used to sharpen the knives at the factory so we have to work with what we have. If you look at a...

I suspect that after my first go on the kayak I will need more than one beer

Great fish :) We used to get a few (smaller than yours) from the bank east of the dam wall(1980's). There have been reports of plenty being caught in Yerrabi this year too. I haven't seen a trout out of that lake for well over 10 years, the last stocking was in the 80's IIRC. I am keen on getting in...

What a drag, but it should work out okay if your doctor is on to it early. A mate of mine had his ankle rebuilt (tendons turned to ligaments) and he got a staph infection in the joint. His ankle looked like a football but within weeks it was under control and now you would never know it had happened...

Sad but true

What I am talking about, competition and hunting by proxy are why. I can't say I agree with that line of thinking at all.

I was not referring to the violence in the act, I was referring to the competition and the "must get" attitude. That it descended into violence is a symptom of other social ills I suspect. Get on to any freeway and you will see examples of what I am talking about. People powerless and hemm...

Earlier I wrote about how hunting is hardwired into humans, here is an example of what happens when people eschew real hunting and replace it with striving for consumer goods that are not necessary in their lives. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2011/11/at-wal-mart-pepper-spray-attack-triggere...

JEFFERSON CITY–Hunters checked 89,728 deer during the opening weekend of Missouri’s November firearms deer hunt, a decrease of 8.3 percent from 2010.

Mmmm smokey marinade backstrap
Great work Jeffro

You are right about the really hard blades being a pain for some people to sharpen. that is why every knife that leaves my workshop is as sharp as a razor and the owner can bring it back for a birthday as many times and as often as they like, no cost to them. And yes, some people will never get thro...

1. big linisher with 400 grit belt, then polished on a strop 2. it is always worth getting the best quality steel you can afford in any knife you are using out in the field. Whether it is worth going for a custom is always a judgement you need to make for yourself. Price, steel quality, handle mater...
