    Recreating The Dire Wolf - Why?

    Jesus, you just saw this? It’s been out for months. Edited to add, the same company was on Joe Rogan saying they’re trying for mammoths next.

    Maggie’s Planning a Road Trip to Alaska - Need Intel

    Long guns yes, hand guns no. Canuckastan, need papers.

    Maggie’s Planning a Road Trip to Alaska - Need Intel

    Local here. Couple of thoughts. Great idea grabbing an shotty as you hit the state, the tried and true loading up here is alternate 00 and slugs. Also, a couple cans a bear spray and a marine air horn will work as a great bear deterrent, much less paper work to deal with if something does...

    Can anyone ID this ammo dispenser?

    I’m not one of the vintage experts around here, by far, but were there rifle fired grenades in WW1? Either way, cool piece of history!

    Maggie’s Funny & awesome pics, vids and memes thread (work safe, no nudity)

    Nasty spawned out Sockeye. Males develop the giant hooked nose, females are smaller. Here’s what they look like coming out of the ocean

    Elk Hunting Rifles, What are you Using?

    Fuck wolves. Numerous reports from field biologists up here in AK, detailing sport killing by packs. Multiple animals taken down with nothing eaten. Caribou calves and Dall sheep in the winter, mostly. When the state dictates that the wolf population has gotten out of hand again, they release...

    Not sure how to “sight in” my glock

    This is a fundamental problem. I’d look hard at your grip, glocks are very different than your other listed handguns. Also, you are probably breaking your wrist to hit that low but center, anticipating recoil. When you dry fire, is the gun dipping?

    Using Tape on the back of a loaded round to check or set headspace. . . .

    Though I’ve used the tape method on cases to set headspace when I couldn’t find headspace gauges, I’ve wondered if there was any Cush data on 3m tape from that. I never had an issue, but it was a thought.

    Using Tape on the back of a loaded round to check or set headspace. . . .

    I cannot love this post more. Especially for those professional shooters, deploying and protecting lives. I’ve seen 80 rounds of factory hornady match 6mm creed with 20% of them with 6.5 creed. Guess how we found out, luckily, not shooting, but a couple of bolts being beat open. Gotta love AI...

    Buying a plane after retirement

    You’d be appalled at the shit we used to in the bush. I started in the last days of the old school bush ops, I’m convinced those old timers were batshit crazy, but they taught me a bunch of stuff and how to stay alive. One of which, “Airplanes fly really well over weight. They don’t fly well...

    10 mil. 15 mil is fine but much prefer the 10.

    Garmin inreach 67i. Any comments

    Used to run the 700, the wife got me the mini for a Father’s Day gift last year. I use that exclusively now. I was always bluetoothing to my phone and using the app on the big unit anyways, the app is a much easier interface. Now I clip the mini to my pack shoulder strap, or unclip and clip to...

    375 Raptor vs 308 Winchester

    The 375 raptor is intriguing in the AR10 platform, at least for me. I already have the lords caliber in 375 h&h in a m70, it’s my most carried rifle up here in AK. I might have to build one someday soon to see if the juice is worth the squeeze. Similar performance in the lighter bullet weights...
