    Favorite Non-alcoholic drink

    Bali Coke Cola, the ones that come in the glass bottles with pop tops. I dunno what it is but it goes down so much smoother than the stuff in cans/plastic bottles western Coke Cola which always feels a lot "stronger" leaves a burn going down, cannot be drank in a single throw down because of the...

    The spirits, the witches, African Tokoloshe, superstitions, experiences and the tales

    I know in Bali, Indonesia, local Witch Doctors are employed by villagers for many reasons. - Illness - Injury - Fortune particularly around Money & Fishing. - Cursing particularly around People & Politics.

    1855 Tower

    Oh I was just curious about your answer, I'm a machinist by trade. But you're right, I mean today I was running one of the machines and went to do a quick and dirty set of my OD threading tool and I came in to fast on the hand wheel and the tip of the carbide insert smashed off leaving a tiny...

    1855 Tower

    My grandpa found this Muzzleloader at a garage sale, logically he bought it but asked me if there was anything I could find out about it after he got it. Does anybody have one of these rifles? Thoughts & opinions greatly appreciated!

    Why no hunting in India, and could it ever be re-opened?

    Not exactly what you're talking about but I view it as similar. Aberdeen, South Dakota, the town (people business etc) pooled money to buy 4000-5000 acres of land which was turned into Public Hunting Land and Hosts (to my belief/google researching) the best Pheasant Hunting in the world, of...

    Hunting Ethics Of Taking Female Animals In Africa

    (Not Africa But...) Last night I watched an (old) episode of "MeatEater" where Joe Rogan and his friend went on their first deer hunts, it was explicitly stated by the ranch owner that the goal animals are DOEs only and if a Buck is shot then the shooter is humiliated and has to wear a silly...

    Any Appetite for a New <$10K Double?

    I'd like to see a dedicated cold weather double rifle for stalking less than <100yrds. A Stocky Short Double Barreled Frosted Stainless Steel (no reflections) with a Deep Dark Blue Synthetic Stock. I see a lot of videos on the YouTubes of people hunting brown bears in Alaska (not a statement of...

    Show Us Your Hunting Knife

    I really like the Muela Limited Edition Africa Dangerous Game Knife Series. Can't think of anything more nostalgic to remove the tail off an Elephant than using the limited edition Muela Elephant Knife (same goes for every other knife in the series & their species). Be nice if they also...

    Any Appetite for a New <$10K Double?

    I just find gun-smithing super interesting because I live in the world of CNC machining, the only thing that has ever puzzled me about the whole gun-smithing is the regulating of barrels. I've read about how a double shotgun maker (longthorneguns) create their double barrels out of a single...

    Best bolt action .22lr?

    One of those purpose built bolt action bench rest rifles, fat flat fore grip stock that's designed to lay on the bench and overall built a lot heavier than standing shouldered hunting rifles, they're typically found in the smallest rimfire calibers & used in target shooting competitions.

    Utilitarian Reasons to Own Similar Rifles in the Same Caliber

    In .22LR I have a bolt action, lever action, revolver & pistol. It's the most abundant caliber upon this world, in my opinion. EDIT: And if I can find one I'll buy one of those combination over under 12GA x 22LR. survival weapons.

    22-250 and 243 for "small" plains game

    The most popular calibers (imo) recommended in Africa (.30-06 .375 .470) are loaded heavy & fly slow (660m/s - 760m/s). One of the frequently recurring statements I hear from PHs when they are talking to their client after the client has taken a shot with their own rifle is "...your bullet is...

    What boots are PH's wearing these days?

    The attractive thing (too me) about Courteney Boots is just that. #1 - They allow their customers to contribute with their own game hide(s) or / and will use various game hides that Courteney themselves keep in stock. #2 - They allow their customers to design their own shoe from top to bottom...

    Courteney Boots have fallen into a bit of a stupidstitious area..... Is it the boot or is it the brand... A good example but outside of the hunting scene is my industry (manufacturing), to the untrained / inexperienced when someone tells them this CNC machine is a "HAAS" the untrained /...

    Jim Green boots

    There's one advantage/distinctive separation between the two (Courteney & JimGreen) and to me it does mean something, I can have Courteney Boots made from various Game Hides & dyed any color on top of being able to "re-design" the shoe/boot to my personal aesthetic preference (at a price point)...

    Jim Green boots

    A few years ago this Gent posted the weight of his Courteney Selous Boots, I wanted to compare them to Jim Greens as I have heard conflicting statements from people... "Courteneys are light as a feather! "JimGreens feel like cement anchors!" "Courteney is not a "light" boot by any means!"...
