    Cheaper than Dirt wont see anymore of my money!

    It's literally to each his own on this matter. If you want to take it as a dig, go right on ahead, cause that's up to you as well. Consider a Snickers or a nap. If you just need someone to talk to about the issues of life, feel free to DM me and I'll listen.

    Cheaper than Dirt wont see anymore of my money!

    CTD is mostly D. When there was a scare about a nation-wide ban on 30rd AR mags, they canceled the orders that had already been paid for and relisted the inventory at $100/ea. They are the embodiment of scalpers and gaugers. You would do well to find another vendor.

    Certain adjectives and a general lack of an exercised vocabulary do not aid in one's attempt to justify a political stance. If one just wants to uselessly complain, by all means, continue.

    I'd encourage moving away from federal funding anyway. There are so many strings attached you may as well not even have a local school board in some cases.

    A tick in the usa thats bite can basically turn you vegan...

    I have had zero tick bites while wearing permethrin sprayed lighter, short, OR brand gaiters. Sample size of one, but it has been sufficient in the tick covered woods of the southeast US.

    A tick in the usa thats bite can basically turn you vegan...

    At a friend's suggestion, I started spraying it on a pair of boot gaitors instead of clothing that would be directly on the skin. It helps substantially in keeping the ticks off, and is a good solution if you're out in shorts and still want some protection.

    I'll second that. It can be difficult to not indulge in the pull towards the negative. The more that will, the easier it will be for (most) everyone else.

    Why was the bring back Von Gruff thread deleted?

    A forum is the online equivalent to private property. You're free to say whatever you want at your own house, but if you try to say certain things at my house, even if half the neighborhood is over for a cookout, you're going to be asked to be quiet, change the subject, or leave. We, the...

    Garry is the kind of person that really makes a forum. Lots of experience, knowledge, and willingness to share. He is a big reason I got enough out of the forum to contribute financially (can we please get another hat run for this purpose?) and it's disappointing to see things turn out this way...

    That's partially what makes Senegal so interesting. They realized it's not always a good idea to be on your own in the modern world. Plenty of us that are not African have some understanding of Africa, just not from an African perspective. It's a gigantic and diverse place with many perspectives.

    It's less the healthcare system and more the industrialized food, lack of activity in lifestyles, and so forth. In many cases people aren't even eating real food. That you won't find a planned parenthood location in a white suburb or a grocery store in the hood is a big issue too. To say the...

    Looking for Australia hunt (low-budget preferred)

    I just try to remember the things that I do have at my disposal that are to my advantage. Am I able to hire a wagon, ox team, and porters to haul off into the unknown for a year to hunt ivory? No, but I do have access to private land deer hunting with one of the most liberal limits in the entire...

    So what is it about hunting?

    It's one of those things that if a hunting buddy asks that question, everyone shrugs and says, "Well, you know..." and then we all nod and go back to talking about that big pig we saw that one time in the swamp, when the dog ran after, and I couldn't quite get there in time because I was all but...

    How far away from the mount will you be when looking from the floor? If far enough away, it might be neat to have the skull and horns as their own thing on a shelf.
