    Favorite EDC...what'cha got

    I'm another Benchmade bugout fan. This one is their entry version, came a little cheaper from REI. Did a full bull elk up gutless method and deboned with no sharpening needed. Was still rough shaving hair on my arm after the fact.

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    I chased one in CO archery a while back that was 26-28" inside spread. Ancient buck. His body dwarfed some real nice 150-160" deer he was hanging out with. I screwed up, got lazy, and blasted him out of his bed from 35-40 yards that I'd seen him use the day before. All of which to say, old...

    The BEST GRIZZLY BEAR Defense...................interesting

    There have been a slew of successful bear defense stories with various handguns in the last few years. The number one thing they all have in common is situational awareness and lots of bullets going down range. Too many stories are verifiable to keep hearing everyone say there's no time to get a...

    Companies out of their minds

    I can't believe I read all three pages of this... I'm gonna get back to touching up the varnish on my boat.

    Fly Tying/Fishing Thread

    There was an old pattern I remember seeing in a book of flies... Think it was called the spuddler. Had an antelope hair spun head.

    Anyone else been kicked off rocks lied?

    If I had a dollar for every unsubstantiated rumor I hear on forum A about forum B I'd be rich. Drama llamas abound on the internet, no matter the forum.

    If you're handy enough, you can maintain that engine yourself!

    "They" are wrong! Don't let the muggles get you down Ben (and disregard that this boat has no motor to break, lol).

    Snake gaiters or Regular gaiters in snake country

    Yeah... I have seen that shit as well. Makes a man want to puke, wizz his pants, and run home crying.

    Snake gaiters or Regular gaiters in snake country

    I never bothered with snake gaiters out west, but deer hunting in the south often involves busting waist high grass in the dark for me... Yeah, I am pretty religious about snake gaiters down here.

    Fly Tying/Fishing Thread

    That is the goal. it's all been experimenting and prototyping to date. This batch is the first that made it to completion. Had to learn how to do bluing, and some very finicky cuts with a bandsaw and router. I wanted to go with stainless steel for the frame, but the raw material cost was...

    Fly Tying/Fishing Thread

    Just finished a couple prototype fly boxes up. I wanted something that felt like an old english shotgun. Figured out a way to fiberglass reinforce walnut so I could get it to be warp free and 3/32" thick without being fragile.

    Insert Installation Tips?

    OP, you can use hot water on the end of the arrow shaft to loosen hot melt without damaging the carbon. Personally I have had the best hotmelt success with Kimsha Hot melt. Secondly, the steering of broadheads or vanes is due to turbulence/drag. That air disruption from the broadhead smooths...

    Well, it's not good. Not religious but prayers are welcomed.

    Dave, I haven't ever posted on here, but I watched you walk through this from afar. As all of us probably can attest, I've felt a small measure of the grief you've been dealt and I am so sorry.

    Tinder/Hinge/dating apps in general

    WTF did I just read?!?! Never been on a dating app. Happily married for 8 years now.

    Fly Tying/Fishing Thread

    Coming in late on the answer for this, but I like big articulated flies. Preferably with a deceiver style back end, and either a muddler head, or a stacked bucktail front half that gives a very tall/thin profile. Either one can give some funky movement in the water, and you will be shocked at...

    Montana General Season Structure Proposal

    I love it. This is an awesome idea. Nitpicking isn't really gonna help until the big issues are getting addressed.

    Centerfire rifles - your path

    Two pages and not a single photo... this disgusts me

    Stoking the fire

    @Ben Lamb you seem like the perfect candidate for traditional archery. Especially the making and shooting of self bows. #justsayin
