    (New Member) Elk hunt caliber

    First, welcome to Rokslide. Second, caliber isn't as important as much as has been emphasize in the past. There are so many bullet choices that work well out of a given cartridge that it muddies up the waters. Most important is to shoot well. Most shoot a mild recoiling cartridge better than...

    Bourbon

    Sipping a Smokewagon with a piece of ice tonight. Go to is Kickin' Chicken, Rare Breed. Or Elijah Craig. Old Forrester 1910 is fantastic. I'd rather have Devil's Brigade over Blantons.

    Where to move?

    First, I didn't read everything. My folks left north Idaho for Arkansas. My youngest moved back in with us, and our middle son just out of the USAF is living here because of the cost of living. Money goes farther for sure in Arkansas. Had someone tell me they were in Wisconsin or Michigan and...

    Rusted Montana Knife

    High carbon blades need to be cleaned. The acids in flesh and blood trigger the rust.

    Fire starting

    The greasy ear plug looking fire tabs work great, catch a spark easy, burn when wet andfor several minutes. Don't remember the brand.

    Fire starting

    I don't like vacuum sealed because it's to hard to get open when wet and shivering. I use a KM match case with a few fire plug tinder tabs and a ferro rod for when you are in actual trouble. Vaseline cotton balls are good but need to be in something you can get open.

    AR15 Upgrade priority for precision

    I've heard so many hit or miss stories about Proof I personally wouldn't risk them. White Oak armory is another one that is stellar but I don't think has been mentioned.

    Grizz encounter near Wolf Creek, MT

    I watched the video now, and understand you were not charged. Thankfully. Five shots with a 44 and they don't think you hit her? What kind of ammo do you use? Sorry if you don't want to answer, Don't. I live in the Idaho panhandle and grizzlies are getting a lot more common. I've been...

    Wow what an experience. Is this still under investigation or have you been cleared?

    2 parter! I am glad I am not single, and why does every single woman think they are a 10?

    I think it's definitely a factor, if nothing else it's either a good or bad example of how to BE married. If the only example you have of marriage is one of an unhealthy relationship, you'll be apt to judge it as "normal". On the other hand, seeing a healthy relationship is almost like...

    AR15 Upgrade priority for precision

    If you're building one from scratch it'll be cheaper than buying twice most likely. You can choose parts based on your desired end result. I'll second the BCM upper recommendation, barrels are all over the place, and can be quality at a reasonable price if you are patient about shopping. The...

    AR15 Upgrade priority for precision

    Optic first, then trigger. Without those being of good quality you won't know if you need a better barrel.

    2 parter! I am glad I am not single, and why does every single woman think they are a 10?

    I think there are a lot of factors in play here, some you will never control, but most you can use to your advantage once you recognize them. We're taught when we're young and at home to be nice. But what our fathers should have added is, " but not too nice." It's ok to be nice, but it is...

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    They look like the primers are a little flat, but also looks like the primer is starting to flow back around the firing pin leaving a little protrusion if I'm seeing it correctly. Both high pressure signs.

    It's nice of you to be able to look past the obese slobbish nature and find beauty.

    2 parter! I am glad I am not single, and why does every single woman think they are a 10?

    Big difference between respecting them and being a simp.

    2 parter! I am glad I am not single, and why does every single woman think they are a 10?

    Quite the opposite. A woman who doesn't respect herself enough to take care of herself won't respect you either. If you don't have respect for each other, your vows, and show appreciation for your spouse, your marriage will suffer. Please explain your last sentence. Where did I suggest...

    2 parter! I am glad I am not single, and why does every single woman think they are a 10?

    Dating now isn't like it was. Modern society for the most part have no morals, and have been conditioned to see things from a very selfish viewpoint. My advice to my son's is way different now than it would have been, had they been at this stage of life before the internet & social media were...
