it has sentimental value - my wife and I got engaged while on a backpacking trip through Europe. I was a student and didn’t have much money. We went into a jewelry store during that trip and she liked the bracelet for me but didn’t want to spend what it cost. I think the owner took my refusal to...

This is an interesting thread. I very much appreciate fine craftsmanship. I am a bit of a peacock and I enjoy fine clothes. My tuxedo is bespoke. I spend a lot of money on shirts and jackets! (Yes I tie my bow ties) And firearms. I would dearly love a classic but I have settled on two semi...

That’s great, thanks for the advice

Are you hunting there too? I have been told to expect 30C to 40C weather! From my seat in the kitchen this month that is only a 40 to 60 degree change in temperature! Holy moly. I am going to bring electrolytes to add to my water! My 400 is loaded with H4350 and my 308 NM is loaded with H4831...

A little background - I hope this isn’t too sappy I took up hunting after my kids were born. However, it was a journey I started as a young boy. I took them fishing at a cottage in eastern Ontario. While fishing with them I realized they did not know where food came from. I got my hunting...
