Does it get a torture test or just use while running around in the countryside? I recently purchased a Bark River knife that was a Bob Loveless design. I should have just made one in that style but thought I would give them a chance. I have others that I will probably favor but have yet to really put it to any test. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill take it with me this weekend fishing and shooting Never owned a spyderco before. Didn’t care for the blade shape of the folders and never looked at the fixed blades. Nothing wrong with them though. A lot of guys love them. Always preferred benchmade myself for a folder. For a fixed blade out walking or fishing I tend to like more of a bushcraft or kephart style knife. What steel is that spyderco made of?

The Chinese version of our AUS steels. This is a phil wilson edition. His previous models have been in cpm steels and much higher end knives. He wanted one that was affordable. Im left handed to the spyderco hole has always been good to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IHRunner Posted July 22, 2020 Author Share Posted July 22, 2020 Spyderco is certainly about function and less about looks. I wish sometimes they would focus less on ergonomics and maybe just a bit on style lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ray54 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Same color pattern we have out here. Can be grass green in spring to black later in the year as everything is yellow or brown. Generally only take 1/10 of a second to know it a rattler. They claim most here are hybrid,but the only good rattlesnake is a dead one. Where is the trophy. Most here are broken by the time they get a inch long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IHRunner Posted July 26, 2020 Author Share Posted July 26, 2020 Testing gear today. We had a new high for the year at the hill while testing. Certainly not the hottest it's been. But it was a toasty one today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sledgehammer Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Honest question....Does the tactical do-rag keep you cooler or make things warmer since it’s around your neck? I know at work I’ve been wearing mask that goes around my whole neck and I find it to be hot. It wasn’t that hot here today but I did wait out a ground hog I had been tailing for a few weeks today. I sweat through just sitting there in the hay field. He won’t be digging around the bridge wing walls any more. The old Remington VLSF 22-250 got another one from around 100yds. It likes 55gr Sierra BTHPs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive had several months of health issues lately. So im taking a bit better care of myself. The style i wear is a Shemagh. Its ultra thin. But it does its job We get a lot of dust storms and i probably wont survive sucking up half the desert this time lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between dying of heat stroke and choking on dirt we can sometimes get a few hours of shooting in before my brain explodes. Do you hand load your 22-250?
