I put a timney in my Weatherby Vanguard gen 1. It is a Howa 1500 basically. It works great.

Harris 13"-27" all the way.

I just upgraded to a larger pack from my tiny day pack. I am interested in what everyone is carrying in there gear while hunting. I have a Summit from Badlands. Harley

The duct tape and zip ties are good ideas. I was going to put a little electrical tape in as well. I have put a lot of bandages on hands with gauze and electrical tape when I was building metal buildings.

The summit I got it probably on the too large side, but I want to do overnight trips or longer sometime. I usually carry to much stuff, that is kind of my MO. I am big though so a little extra weight isn't the worst thing. Right now I have packed: Fire starter stuff: Matches, fire tablets, mag stick, dryer lint, etc. Water Purification: Sawyer mini, iodine tabs First Aid: General first aid, Ace bandages, compression dressings, Inhaler Skinning knives Cordage: mule tape & 550 cord Emergency Rain Poncho Emergency Blanket Water bladder & extra water bottle Compass & GPS Extra Ammo: Pistol & Rifle Range Finder Light Jacket What do I need to add?

Donating meat to Gino may help your hunt odds through karma or advice. I gave a bunch of meat last year and received a good hunting tip in return that helped me put elk meat back in that empty freezer space. I will probably have some more for you this season, I just need to have a minute to clean out my freezer, it has been a crazy summer. Harley

I picked up a sawyer mini to put in my hunting pack. I dont do overnight in the bush yet, but I want to soon. I will have this for later or the unintended night out. Harley

You as well. Thanks for the bunkbeds. Harley

I am interested in the bunkbed. My wife and I would like to look at it if possible. Does the upper bunk have a guard rail that is not shown? Thanks Harley

Does anyone have any major brand once fired reloadable 7x57 brass for sale or trade? Harley

Do you have multiple of the same headstamp, and are you interested in trading brass or selling outright? I have a bunch of different calibers for trade if your wanting to trade. Harley

Casey's did a great job for me last year. If I ever get another elk in the Flagstaff area, it will be headed to Casey's too. A elk is to valuable of an asset to take it to a shop who has more than a few negative reviews IMO.

I had the plug problem 2 years ago. I forgot I had taken it out for something and my gun just kept taking shello on opening morning. I sacrificed one of my ballpoint pens from work. Gutted it and cut the body down to the right length to make the gun legal. I am getting ancy. I need to get in the field, and I love dove season. I just hope my spot heats up a little more this season. Harley

Also, remember to stretch your cable before the first real pull. A winch cable needs to have a load put on it to stretch it before you give it heck. Hook the truck to something real heavy or that it can't pull. Spool out most (not all) of the line and Pull the cable tight and give it some strain but don't go crazy. Spool it in and your done.

Also, get a couple 30k straps with loop ends. One 30' and one 6-8 foot. Some 3/4" screw pin Shackles or larger too. A snatched block is a good investment. The 2 biggest tools for offroad recovery are a shovel and high lift jack though. Get a 60" model. Then if your not familiar with it all learn how to use it all safely. Recovery is dangerous work. Don't under estimate just how quick it can go bad.

Warn 12,000lb in a good bumper. Pick a shop you are comfortable with and who's prices seem fair.

Randalls had about 5 boxes of the ELD-X bullets in stock. A bunch of powder too including Retumbo and Rl25.

At my old house the neighbors next door.did recycling for a living. They collected everything and sorted it into big piles in the backyard. Every few months they would rent the biggest u haul truck and take all the cans and bottles to California and collect all CRV returns on them. They didn't get rich, but I think they did ok.

Very nice.

I really need to get rock done in my front yard but don't really have the time or desire to do it if I don't have too. Does anyone do this for a living and want to give me a bid? Harley

MIL = mother in law I guess they had a small mud slide north of cortes junction and truck on its lid south bound at the top of the hill coming out of camp verde.

Nothing in peoria yet. My MIL is on the 17 south and it has been rain a fair amount.

Did you ever find out about the other stock? Have you shot this rifle much? Is it a good shooter? History?

I am trying to figure out what I should do for a general hunting and skinning knife. I am really looking at the Benchmade saddle mountain skinner but I figure if I am going to pay that price would it be any better to try and find a more custom built knife from a small custom knife maker. I want to make a good investment that I can use for many years and pass to my sons. All I have right now are some general purpose buck 119's that my dad gave me. They are ok, but they didn't make it all the way through skinning my cow elk last year before the needed to be touched up. Any thoughts on what steel and what knives and makers I should look at? Thanks Harley
