I sent them a nice email asking specifically that they not send me anything (magazine included) other than a renewal notice. I specifically told them that I would rather they spend the money on the task at hand rather than mailing me information I am capable of gathering myself. I got a very nice re...

RWRJR....

My 94C shot the Fed 158's so well that I laid up a thousand of them "just in case" Shoots plenty of other stuff just fine. Sure likes the 180 BuffBores also (or homemade versions with similar boolit)

By far the most usefull rifle I ever laid hands on. Enjoy.

Bubba, I have been quite busy with no end in sight. Mostly hauling tankers to Prudhoe and head out tomorrow to haul some huge butt spool out to Ooliktok (oilfield north of Deadhorse). Looking foreward to running the haul road while weighing in at 135.000 pounds...NOT!!! Seems the North Slope is boom...

Coldfingers

OI...Even here in Interior AK, I consider the little magnum to be just about perfect for my uses. In a good year I "might" shoot the 45-70 a couple times at a moose or bear. Most of the year, the 357 does all the meat hunting for small game, varmints etc, and has proven itself on black bea...

Coldfingers

Pepe...while it is good to have a little heat to boost the cranking power of a cold battery, the real "magic" is warm oil. If I could only have ONE heater on my rig, it would be a silicone oil pan heater. At twenty below and colder, oil is the viscosity of slightly warm tar. At temps below...

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: 38 degree's ABOVE ZERO in North Pole, Alaska. Only drawback is that there is a slight drizzel and my meat is starting to thaw. I am sure that will be rectified in a few days but this is mighty nice after weeks of minus 40-50! Scotty

Coldfingers

Explains the veiw outside my window and the fact that my Ther-Mo-Meter has not risen over the minus 40 mark in two weeks.

Gonna have a hard time selling my beachfront property now...

Coldfingers

ROFLM*O Tubby. Sheesh...Must be the view from inside my JRT's head.

Coldfingers

Gerry...Godspeed on your travels. Nice to have such a great view from the office window eh? BGunn...I bet you are the envy of all the guys in the neighborhood. When my old Troybuilt turns it's last, I am gonna get a real garden tractor like you did. Hows that blower working out for ya? Considered on...

Coldfingers

You fellers have it tough. Thank God we are not getting any wind with our MINUS 40 weather. I just watched the Ther-Mo-Meter drop to the MINUS 50 mark here in the swamp. Had to hook up the magnetic heater to the propane tank for my hot water as the propane was gelling. If it drops below the minus 65...

Coldfingers

OSOK...certainly one of those in demand jobs...AK is one of those roadless kind of places. More runway hacked out of the bush than road I bet if a feller measured em up. The problem lies with the "experience" issue. AK has pretty steep bumps in the learning curve. That old sayaing "th...

Coldfingers

Travis...CH2MHill is a company that provides service to the oil companies on the North Slope. All kinds of jobs that would suit you. Pay is almost double what you think is good :wink: and they are "working" 7/12's. I always eat at their camps when I am in Prudhoe...especially on steak nigh...

Coldfingers

Thank You Jim.

A most blessed Christmas to you and yours.

Coldfingers

Travis...hard to break into the CH2MHill jobs but worth a try. I just can't adjust to the camp life nor the boredom...them fellers don't realy work all that much. We joke that they mostly sleep untill they are hungry then eat untill they are tired. A twleve hour shift of sitting in a pickup truck tr...

My son used one of my handloaded 420 WFNGC's over a stiff dose of H322 to take a Montana cow buff. A meat hunt. Frontal shot with stem to stern penetration. FLOP!!! Everyone was impressed to say the least, especially the fellar who had just taken multiple shots with one of the hot WSM's and had to h...

God's Grace to you and yours.

Tanker Yankers with winter and mountain expereince who would wish to relocate for a while will find themselves in demand here in the Arctic. The pay is remarkably good right now. The fuel haul to Prudhoe is pulling drivers from the general freight pool so that market is opening up also. Good place t...

Coldfingers

Rusty...thanks for posting that. I have been most impressed with the performance of my 94C when pushing a 180gr gas check WFN. I just recieved a 358-190 mould from NEI. We shall see how that does on black bear this spring. My experience with the 180's lead me to believe I need to find a bigger bear ...

Coldfingers

Ganjaro....Now THOSE are nice. Grizz..."one piece at a time"

Too bad I live in a place that has such a problem with hard water...These long arctic winters make for tough boating.

I may need to find a thread about 120mph crotch rockets mounted on ski's.

Coldfingers

AJMD...took the words right out of my mouth.

Didn't take the wife long to figgure out that the scent of Hoppes would invoke a sort of rutting instinct matched only by the smell of fall leaves burning...

I keep mine just to upset the liberals. I also use them for vermin control. Pretty much the same thing most days

Modoc Ed...arent those Monitors just the berries? Was not just all that long ago that I could burn No 1 Deisel cheaper than I could cut wood! Our house is not as well insulated as it could be and that little heater will keep my two story 32x38 home toasty at minus fourty and still burn less than fiv...

Coldfingers

Find a good dirt bank and you could do some hydraulic mining

Coldfingers

Started the fire about mid September :wink: I like most everything about heating with wood. My stove has a shaker grate and will burn lump coal also. We do so when the temps realy plummet below the minus thirty mark. We have an oil backup (Monitor 40... very efficiant and dependable) that kicks on i...

Coldfingers

Papabear,

I am very sorry for your loss. I have had a half dozen GREAT dogs over the last 52 years and cried over every one of them.

Like a dummy, I have grown attached to another (after going four long years without a littlefurrybuddy) and am dreading the day.

My best as you heal up.

Scotty

Coldfingers

sure don't take no rocket surgeon to see that commin.

Looked at the livelink page and did a little reading. The one on the bill to police homegrown terrorism scared the stuff out of me. We's all outlaws now...

Coldfingers

I am so sorry to hear that Dave. A tough decision but the right one.

(StoopidTerriersAnyways)

Mine make me nuts some days. My prayers are with you.

Coldfingers

Those ports made me NUTS!!! Cut & Recrown. I saw a slight improvement in accuracy when shooting mid level cast boolits and did not notice any loss of accuracy with the heavy hitters, cast or jacketed. Still loud, but the blast is no longer knocking my hat off. Cheaper than a new barrel and did n...

SP101 when cutting firewood, fishin, trappin and swattin skeeters or doing anything else that keeps my hands busy. It is just part of my pants. Always in the same place, town or country. Keep .357 rifle close by most of the year but upgrade a mite (45-70) for our short moose season or if I head down...

Coldfingers

Good show Nath. Enjoy the fruits of your labors.

Coldfingers

Ganjaro...if nothing else, do the trip just to do it. The logistics of arranging the put in/take out vehicles can be the worst part. Just the float from Circle to the Yukon River Bridge poses problems as the two roads (gravel) that access the river can be an adventure in their own right. Putting in ...

Coldfingers

Grizz...You just float on down there in the Yak if yer of a mind to. The fifty or so mile upstream paddle on the Yukon (to get back to a takeout point) should give you plenty of time to gnaw a moose down to where half of it will fit in the yak anyways :lol: I don't get too worried about others on th...

Coldfingers

Now that feller looks whupped! The Freighters are a real workhorse. They command a premium price in these parts. Our prefered "kicker" is the Johnson/Evenrude 15hp two stroke. Provides enough extra oomph to get the loaded grumman out of a tight spot or make a sharp turn in fast water while...

Coldfingers

stovepipe...eight minutes is about seven minutes longer than I think I could make it in that particular crick. I don't know what would get you first, the cold or the silt filling your clothing and dragging you down. You can hear the silt on the hull constantly when floating it, a little raspy sound ...

Coldfingers

Stovepipe. Neat stuff there and quite the race. There is some "talk" of getting an ironman canoe race organized on the Yukon. Tentative plans call for race from Whitehorse, YT to the Yukon River Bridge, 120 road miles up the Dalton from Fairbanks, AK. Should be quite the little float trip ...

Coldfingers

You know Grizz, If ya put Tubby inside the frame, THEN wrapped the whole thing, he may stay drier even if he wiggled the wrong way at the wrong time...

Coldfingers

Idiot.

The base rifle is the Rossi/Puma with 92 action.

The scuffing on the loading gate happens, my little Marlin is showing "use" in that area

Coldfingers

Gotta save a few more pennies. I figgure I could have one in trade for pulling one tanker load of fuel to Prudhoe. Another week or so till the wife is healthy enough to fend for herself and I can go back to work.

Nate, oh Nate where art thou....

Coldfingers

My experience also when shooting off the sticks. POI is slightly lower when shooting the 6.5x55AI from a sandbag or packsack than when I have the forestock nestled in the shooting sticks. For serious long range varmint work I always take the time to set up the sticks. Inside of two hundred yards the...

Coldfingers

Sure pleasureable looking at the Leverguns Flotilla here. Ganjaro...the outrigger class. I believe I will make one for my 19' Grumman. That ol gal is quite stable even with the 15 hp except when I get the motor lifted up while under power in skinny water. The "donkey" lift allows one to li...

Coldfingers

Nath...I have a few freinds that just love to bend wood. the safest way is to use steam (to quote a guru "Steam is the train that heat rides to work") Next best would be a heat gun. I also know of fellers that ran whole lengths of Bodark through a micorowave with portholes cut in it :shock...

Bears open up the proverbial Can-O-Worms. Mention "Grizzly" and most folks envision the 1200lb coastal brownie. Most of us folks that dwell inland have to make do with the lighter weight versions. The common ones in my neighborhood have a hard time breaking the 500lb mark. Not that they ar...

Coldfingers

I would have to go with the .44 too. Simply because of your location in beutiful downtown BC. Ammo (or components for relaoding) "may" pose an availability problem at times for the Colt/Casull rifle. My LSI .454 feeds darn near everything flawlessly BUT...getting components at times is pro...

Coldfingers

Ganjaro...SWEET. Good thinkin on the outrigger. Hobie...The pack IS quality and worth every penny. I can grab it in one hand, rod in the other, scurry across the street and be fishing for breakfast in a matter of minutes or load it up and do a wilderness trip with no worries about the hull taking wh...

Just about the neatest thing I have see in a long, lonnnnggg time. Thank You.

Jack, The OT "Pack" is a slug compared to some of the pack canoes on the market...some weigh in at about 11.5 pounds and will fly like the wind. Sure a neat concept for going solo and cheap or on the spur of the moment. Better than a pair of waders for alot of the fishin I do. Can picture ...

Very nice Grizz. my last yak trip was a float down some backwater crick to the St. Johns river in Florida. Was in a friends homebuilt plywood Kayak. Hunting squirrels was our excuse to fritter away the day. Even got a few :o Was great fun except when a grossly overgrown lizzard slid off the bank and...
