    Ulu knives..

    I have an Ulu tht my wife got me for Christmas last year. My only complaint is that I'm having a hell of a time making a good sheath for it. It works wonders on just about any cooking chore. Minding and dicing are much easier because you can just rock the blade back and forth. I have yet to...

    PC first Aid kit

    as a side note, I never head out into the woods without a good whisky. Good for headaches, disinfecting and raising the spirits after a hard day in the mud.

    PC first Aid kit

    A good place to start would be to learn how to use plants and what not for medicine (boiling the inner bark of most trees makes a good tincture or paultice for cuts and burns, and sage is good for indigestion.) I usually just carry some bandages, gauze and tweezers. Everything else can be...

    Possibles vs. Shooting bag?

    I bet I know the reason for that... the same reason as when you go on ebay and look up Bows you'll see dozens of "Compund recurve longbows" :confused:, I.E: Ignorance...

    And now for a bizarre question

    We'll I bet if you caught 3 or 4, and put 'em in a blender you'd have a filling maple flavored protein shake. :redface:

    Drinking habits, then and now.

    I'm surprised no one has mentioned that the alcohol to weight ratio favores the harder drinks. I don't know about anyone else here, but when I'm out in the backcountry I don't lug aroung a few cases of beer, just a pint or two of whisky (not a huge fan of rum, but it gets the job done. :winking: )

    Trade Scalper

    Whites acctually started the whole scalping buisness... Indian scalps sold for quite a lot in europe, the Indians probably started doing it out of revenge or just for trophies as they were treasured as such by both whites and indians. Hard to accuratly discuss history, what with people being...

    No flasks/horns?

    I just had a friend tell me that it is illegal to carry a flask or horn while hunting in washington. Which to me seems like a big what the hell!? Anyone else heard this? I thought it was just a bad, stupid, suicidal idea to load straight from the flsk/horn, but not illegal to carry them while...

    what is hunting to you?

    Hmm, toughy. I spent a lot of time in the outdoors so I don't forget our (human beings) roots in the wild. I love to watch nature and try to figure out how it works. The difference between hunting and any other outdoor activity (even fishing, which I also love) is that you become not just an...

    Hello

    Im looking at the St. Louis Hawken Rifle Kit By Traditions, save a bit of money and get to finish the stock how I want. Just wondering how hard they are to put together, and if anyone has experience with the kits. i also figure the best way to get to know your gun is to build it yourself...

    Hello

    Well I don't mind a bit of weight, my current rifle is a Mosin-nagant m44, which weighs in at around 7lbs. I was leaning towards percussion just because they seem more reliable and easier to use, plus they tend to be cheaper.

    Hello

    Hey everyone. I'm about as new to his sport as can be (havn't even bought my own rifle yet) but it's just one of those things I know I need to do. I've always loved the outdoors, and in the past several years have become enaoured with the mountain men and long hunters of centuries past. I've...

    IBS on Cabelas Hawken

    Hey, I've been thinking about getting one of these. Was wondering if they're really worth it though (i.e accuracy, ease of use and care, etc...) Not sure if i would get the prebuilt one or the kit though. Just wondering how you liked 'em.
