We sink our water lines around six feet deep. You can also run a drip line, basically just crack a water line and leave your tank on a constant overflow. If you dump some 2 inch gravel under the tank a foot or so deep, it will prevent erosion. Tire tanks, made from old dump truck tires are...
Nice work sir! Hand stitching is one of my least favorite things to do. Hand stitching old leather I like even less. If you take a sponge with some tap water and get your edges damp, then take your glycerin bar and rub it into the edges, then use some heavy canvas; no. 4 works best, and rub...
That is a 9.3x62 built for me by Dennis Erhardt out of Helena MT. That scope is an early Lyman Alaskan. I have modern optics for that rifle, but I usually just leave the Alaskan on it because I enjoy it.
We were actually hunting elk, but held multiple other tags. Hence the reason she used the 9.3.

I have juggled law enforcement and government packer for the last 20 years. I’m...
I wear boots everyday. I have a set of custom whites pack boots I wear whenever I’m afoot. I also wear them hunting, or traveling, and they are the set I wore in Africa.

I built mine. I made it to the dimensions to just fit onto carry on. But I also built it to fit perfectly in a canvas panyard on one side of a mule, which is how I do about 99 percent of my hunting. That said…. After flying with it and traveling to Africa I’m going to make several changes on the...
I am excited to hear about the experience! As a father; sharing an experience like this with my daughter would be the icing on the cake for a life well lived.
I didn’t know you were over by Buffalo. I was just over there the other day looking at some cows. With your avatar; I assumed you lived down south somewhere. We should have a get together.
My family is up in Dayton. I’m pretty familiar with your country.
This site is a wealth of information, and everyone here is very helpful. It made my first trip really easy. Feel free to give a holler if you have any questions.
I will pm you a list of guys. Unfortunately I don’t know anyone in the south east. Most of the custom makers I know are here in the Rocky Mountain region.
