I think it's really important to realize that oil is the commodity substitute for greenbacks now, similar to when we had a gold-backed currency. Now gold is lagging far behind as the commodity of choice to preserve capital. Capital is going into oil. Capital is going into oil BECAUSE the value of th...

Good thinking Pete. I'm going to try one, if I like the looks on my 1886 I'll d&t for that sight. Looks like it sits pretty low, which I like because high sights break the cheek weld on the buttstock.

Good on Ya !!

There is one possibility, however, which alone might justify the risk that Obama and his campaign seems to be taking in putting forward the uncertified document image: Obama was not in fact born in Hawaii and may not be an American citizen at all, or at least not a "natural born citizen" ...

2ndovc,

I remember now, I thought there were more watermen about. Your Dad's got a beautiful boat. I bookmarked his site so I can drool some more. I hope he's writing his story. I figure there's a hundred arm-chair sailors for every one who is out doing it. Including me.

AS related earlier, my nick comes from a misadventure on a HobieCat 16. They are a staple of all the touristy areas. It is especially neat how you can run them right up onto the beach. Hobie, There's beaters around here that are cheap enough to get into sailing them. Did you ever camp-cruise hobies...

Thanks for the Rudy Choy link, that adds to my searches. I am drawn to the cats for their passagemaking speed and for their thin water capabilities. My last boat drew around 8 feet and that precluded the use of a lot of anchorages. Sometimes I had to move when the tide dropped enough that my keel wa...

I think Hooter is a great name for that gun, considering. And you can always point out that it's a hoot to shoot.

All in good order Ji There is probably a very ancient reason for the way the rigging is put together. My guess is it has to do with prevailing wind patterns. But that's just a guess. As to the reefing, just release the sheet and the sail will go downwind and depower. That's if it's a sleeve type sai...

The Friendships are truly outstanding and yours is a knockout.

Someone once asked a lobsterman how he knew where all the rocks are and he said he didn't know where they all are, "I just know where they aint." That's about 95% of a safe voyage right there.

Especially for our scenario, living on or around saltwater, I think stainless is the only way to go. I think double action revolver is the only way to go. Not because I hate single action, I love them, but double action not only cycles easier on the firing cycle, but is MUCH faster to unload/reload ...

One of his last dream boats was the Westsail 32 which was a Marconi sloop rig on a fiberglass "Eric" hull There is an error in the table of offsets of the thistle and eric designs that I discovered in lofting the boat. I had to learn how to loft boats in the process of building, and there...

Mike, I'd love that passage thru the Magellan Straight. I just read a book about his voyage and his discovery of the passage. I'll send you the name when I recall it. It's more than worth reading, and it could be a travel guide for parts of your own trip. Don't forget about the ring of fire, and the...

Ji, An Eric Jr in f'glass sold last winter in TX for $4500. An unbelievably good buy. It was on the hard at a lake and needed trucking to real water. When I built the hull of Thistle in the Bay area there were fifty fc boats under construction. I worked on plastering day on a lot of them and I wound...

Cowboy, that's fantastic shooting. Beautiful spot to be shooting too. That horizontal stringing may be the gun moving with the flow of blood in your arms. Reason I say this is that when I was a kid my Dad and I did some long range prone shooting and I found I had to wait a while for the blood flow r...

Grizz

popeye That's a very good point. It demonstrates why I quit carrying a .338 around the man-eaters and started using hard lead bullets. My testing shows that the lead bullets won't self destruct at point blank impact velocities, but the .338 bullets I was using will. They're moving much to fast at th...

Big Surprise: GS and RH.

That would be my Marlin 1895 Guide Gun and my Ruger Redhawk .44 mag. Both can be loaded down to girlie levels, and loaded up to freight train levels. I'd feel very well armed anywhere anytime.

Sort of true, but the one thing that kills and injures more folks in Yellowstone is the bison. Bears get one once in awhile, but not near as many. When a 2000lb bovine has decided humans are evil and need to be erraditcated, they're every bit as deadly as a bear. Too true Don. A friend tells me tha...

I grant you can work the problem backwards. Some years ago a woodsman in Alaska was in the woods. Maybe making the trek to the outhouse. He disappeared.

That's the smart way to do it. Find out what the gun likes, Find out how they perform. Just going out and seeing what happens, like with the oak trees in your case, is a great learning experience.

Joe, Did you skip my post on the field tests? Look over the data for my .44 handgun load. That bullet penetrated 13.5" of douglas fir at the lower velocity. I upped the velocity to make it perform that way at 50 yards. It is not a high pressure, high velocity load. It is a low pressure, low vel...

Mike, I don't have specific data, but I look for the closest thing I can find in a copper jacketed bullet and study the loads and pressures. It's generally safe shooting the loads for the copper bullets under cast lead ones because the lead bullets are more slippery and produce less pressure, ALL EL...
