Sorry I did not want to offend anyone but wanted merely to ensure I got some facts straight. I hope it did not offend anyone? Which is a rhetorical question because it appears I have by being placed on ‘an ignore list.’ However rest assured I will learn to be every bit as tolerant...

It seems I posted a quick comment that obviously initiated some rapid sure fired, if not rude, responses that I suppose lead me to explain my seemingly ill informed casual post. Maybe I should have placed a more informed post in the first place, hey ho here it goes now. Hopefully this will...

Ground up Yarrow is a good alternative many quick clots have it as their base. Direct pressure has never let me down

When filing the edge be diligent and ensure that whatever you are using to reshape the back stays at a right angle to the back. If using a file try filing in one direction only, then pick out which side the naturally occurring metal burr appears and use this sharp edge to your advantage. It is...

Serrations are an absolute disadvantage on a knife it has been proven time and time again a well maintained straight blade cuts rope more efficiently than a serrated blade. Have you ever tried to make feather sticks with a serrated blade or gut, skin and butcher a moose, elk or deer with one...

Hmmm, it also looks like just the place I want to buy, I'm looking for a minimum of 160 acres, rather a complete half section, but a quarter will do. May have to look into it a little closer - excellent moose country, I hunt there with my brother once a year and there is plenty of game...
