    A Question for Farmers in the US / Canada / Anywhere cold

    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...

    Antique British gun case restoration project

    Look up 50 buckles or 49 buckles at weaver leather. I like the 49 buckles a little better. Both are quality.

    Antique British gun case restoration project

    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...

    He took all of the stock dimensions off of a 1933 Wesley Richards .318, so I figure the old Alaskan just suits it.

    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 been waiting to recover the perfect bullet from something my wife shoots, and have one made for her; but so far no luck.

    That is just dropping down into Yellowstone Meadows. Hawks Rest is in the background. It’s the most isolated spot in the continental US.

    Anyone tried Beck Boots? Any other boot makers to consider?

    I’ve put a lot of miles on Bowman’s Wilson boots out of Livingston Montana. Very few of those miles out of a stirrup, but I’m hard pressed to hang my spurs on another pair of boots.

    Travel duffle bags

    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 don’t know what to do with this pice of bongo hide!

    How much usable hide do you have? Can you split it down the middle and I lay a mirrored set of saddle bag flaps? Maybe a duffle flap if not?
