Re: hunting knife blade length??? I agree with Texagator. I've got some big blades; my grandad's WW2 Kabar, a few 6-7" bladed Randalls, a RAT 7, and others, one of which I carry in my ruck when hunting, hiking, etc. for survival purposes if necessary. When it comes to dressing deer, I use a...

Re: Your Favorite Guitarist and why 1. Ben Prestage 2. Seasick Steve Very fine bluesmen.

Re: Best survival knife for under $200?? I have to agree with dmg308. Mora knives are great value for the money, something like $10 each. I think I own 8 or 9 of them; used them for everything from dressing rabbits to making sushi. I haven't dressed a deer with one yet, but there's no...

Re: Best survival knife for under $200?? I've got an Ontario RAT5 in D2. I've dressed and butchered 3 whitetails with it in one morning. The only time I sharpened it was after I'd finished all 3, and even then it just needed a slight touch up. I've chopped through small oak about two inches...

Re: Knives Usually carry two: EDC Folder: Zero Tolerance 0200 EDC Fixed: Rat 4 Usually at least two of these in my ruck: Rat 5 WW2 Kabar that was my grand pap's Randall Model 18 (miss my model 14 like hell) Blackjack Model 14 Cold Steel Tanto TOPS Operation Badger

Re: Best Survival Knife By the way, how did you break a gerber in half with a model 15? Intentionally? Just curious. Steve

Re: Best Survival Knife I agree that the BP grip is kind of small. I should have posted 'BP or straight grip, as on a model 1, but micarta instead of stacked leather.' While I love the looks of them, the standard finger grooves just don't fit well for me. . . I never thought to ask the guys...

Re: Best Survival Knife Any TOPS, (but especially the Dawn Warrior,) Ontario or RAT cutlery RAT5, a Cold Steel Recon Scout, or a new spec Kabar. (In that order of preference.) If you want to go over $200, get a Cold Steel Military Classic, Trailmaster, or Outdoorsman (again, in that order...

Re: Pit Bull to a good home Central Florida Latest: The lady and her husband decided they didn't want him. I kind of got the feeling the husband didn't want another dog by the way he acted when they visited, so it wasn't a surprise when she called. I was, however, a little surprised that the...

Re: Pit Bull to a good home Central Florida She is an absolutely beautiful dog, I would melt too. I hope you find a good home for her. . .or perhaps your situation will change to the point where you can keep her. I really like the tan and/or rednose colors, one of mine is tan with a white...

Re: Pit Bull to a good home Central Florida Thanks again everyone for the kind words of encouragement. It's nice to know that there people out there who appreciate this breed as much as we do. Update: A local lady is coming over tomorrow to have a look at him. She has pit bull experience...

Re: Pit Bull to a good home Central Florida Thanks everybody for your kind and positive thoughts. Beautiful dogs Redman, and thanks for the advice. I'll keep updating here as to his status. Steve

A few months ago my inlaws found this little guy wandering around their place. We've tried to find his owners; posted flyers, craigslist, the local newspapers, drove around several towns and went door to door, you name it and we've tried it, but no luck. I've already got 4 dogs in a fairly...

Re: I need 1 pistol DOWNZERO: "I don't buy that at all. Both of those guns are very blocky and thick. If you have to conceal it, you definitely want a thinner gun than these two." To me, neither are overly thick or blocky; 239 at 1.2" thick, the USP Compact at 1.14". The M&P was around 1.2"...
