reuben_j_cogburn said:After seeing all the amazing custom gun work lately, I just couldn't help but show mine off as well..... :wink:
The custom faux bluing pattern is unique to the gun and changes almost daily...... I have found that continually drawing and re inserting it into my usually rather damp holster has buffed certain area's to a nifty bright shine...
Who needs stainless!! or those costly bluing tanks!
The equally custom texture to the holster was lovingly applied by rocks gravel, mud and water.......
It appears that even the brass of my ammo has taken on a bit of a dull luster......
See.. all ya really gotta do to get a true custom is to drag it out into the sticks.. (kicking and screaming, I'm thinkin)..... and let it play some...... before you know it you'll have a gun you can identify from 20 yards with one eye covered and a stigmatism in the other!!
Now don't hate cause my ruger seems a bit worse for wear... She's ridden with me since I got up here.. rain, shine, heat, snow.... up to my butinski in cold river water, tugging a boat off a submerged gravel bar.... tumbling gracefully down a hillside.. (totally on purpose)...... and lots of other activities I can not recall...
But so far she has always remained in that baggy old.. umm... custom gun rig...
ciao y'all...... :wink:
By the way.... the ammo is "Alaska Ammo 320 hardcast.... My lil buckeroo's.......
junebug 1 said:Like most of us I think its a pretty fair bet you have more than one knife on you at all times , I sure do.
I don't have a 4 wheeler, but both my truck and car carry packs with survival type of items. Boy Scouts Rock!junebug 1 said:Reuben
A good knife is or can be as important to daily life as a good gun.I am never without two on me at all times.The four wheeler has its machette and all my packs have at least two more.They are carried the same place always so when I need one I don' t have to dig and search for it. I don't consider myself properly dressed without a gun and knife.
grampsI don't have a 4 wheeler said:The trick is to carry just what you think you will need... Otherwise there can be no room left on the wheeler for anything else...
And it really sucks when you put your pack on and you bust out into tears.....
I am a minimalist for the most part...
water, rain gear, warmer clothing (socks, gloves)...
If I run into to much trouble on the trail... I go home and return the next day when there will be more light.. I have learned not to fight Alaska.... (it took some time... I can be a slow learner)...

When I was working in Alaska, I learned quickly to carry a pack with extra clothes/rain gear. The pack was real handy to carry food home from the AC store too. 8)
