    Cabin Build - Timeline with lots of pics.

    Not to be nosy but I am considering a build like this very soon. Can I ask you what you has in the cement work and the building shell and exterior trim for the ends? Excluding the framing and inside electrical and pluming. Strictly talking drying it in. less than $20,000?

    Social Distancing - What's Everyone Doing?

    82 crappie 3 catfish Saturday and Sunday combined and honestly dont know how many carp and gar the wife and I shot this weekend. But it was a lot, and most very very big. Didn't get a single picture so I guess you will have to take my word for it. I smell like a fish.

    If your stuck at home what are you and your families doing to pass the time?

    We have a well beaten trail around our property and put in 10,000 steps daily (Whatever that equates to) and my wife has been working out for 2 hours/day. I mulched the flower beds yesterday evening with leftovers from her dads landscaping business. Mowed the grass and weed-eated. You could...

    Social Distancing - What's Everyone Doing?

    One summer when I was working in the middle of the Alaskan Tundra I watched an overly vigorous guy come up off of a T-post with the post driver. When he came down he caught hit finger between the driver and the top of the T-post. Cut it right off. Not gonna lie to you guys, I almost...

    Social Distancing - What's Everyone Doing?

    I was holding fence posts for my dad when I was about 10 years old and he was standing on the tailgate of his ford bronco (Like OJ's but his wasnt white..) driving them in because they were so long. Handle broke and the head of that sledge hammer missed my face my about 1/2"....It would have...

    pump action 12 ga versus 45-70 lever rifle for alaskan bear defense

    I started to cast and powder-coat my own HV 3.5" 00 buckshot shells. I dont think there is an animal in North America could survive a direct hit to the face with that stuff. I have no doubt a brown bear is tough. But I dont think they could take that kind of a beating.. Never killed a brown or...

    pump action 12 ga versus 45-70 lever rifle for alaskan bear defense

    Personally, I would have one of these on my side If I was in heavy bear country. http://www.winchesterguns.com/products/shotguns/super-x4/super-x4-current-products/sx4-cantilever-buck.html Or something of the sort. But it certainly would not be a pump shotgun as I have personally watched a lot...

    Opening The Can Of Worms...Coronavirus...

    TEAMWORK Reminds me of when I played baseball. I quickly realized at a young age that my team didn't suck, it was me that sucked at baseball. But I still played for a few years giving it my best shot. When I realized just how bad I truly was compared to the other kids I quit and then I...

    Demographics of Eastmans Hunting Forum

    Mid thirties heading for the upper this summer and I dont work for Eastman's. Instead, I identify as a slave to the oil and gas industry who up until about a month ago was on track to retire by my mid 50's. After checking my retirement funds this morning I may have to work until I am 90 lol

    MT Mule Deer over $600?

    I may continue to pay for the high dollar tags in my lifetime but know this, in our kids lifetime, they will not pay the price. Its just isn't going to be worth it to them. The die hard hunters are doing just that, pricing ourselves our of a sport and dying off while we do it. I have a bunch...
