Re: We need a Like Button

I'm with David on this - no need for a like button, but being able to mention someone would be nice.

Re: Exotic Animals Invading USA Wilderness Areas

A hyena here in MO is pretty wild! I'd definitely want a powerful sidearm if I ever encountered one of those. There was a local man years ago who kept a pet mountain lion in a wire enclosure at his home, almost right in town. That was before I lived in the area. I never heard exactly what happened t...

Re: Exotic Animals Invading USA Wilderness Areas

I know that there have been piranhas caught in the Lake of the Ozarks (about a half-hour south of where I live in MO, big resort area.) Of course, the climate is too cold here for them to survive and thrive, but still.

Re: African Safari?

Amazing photos! I'd love to go on a safari sometime...not that it will ever happen! But I love reading Peter Capstick, Robert Ruark, and of course the famous ivory hunters from the old days like Arthur H. Neumann, C.H. Stigand, Karamojo Bell, etc. I have a fascination with the lives of the elephant ...

Re: Just for fun, who here is NOT on social media?

I'm somewhere in between option 1 and 2. I'm not on any social media platform beyond this and a couple other traditional-style forums. In general, I think the impact of the large social media sites on society has been cancerous, especially within the last decade or so. I wouldn't be one bit sorry if...

Thursday was pretty cold. My bike thermometer said 2.5 degrees on the way home from work, with a -27 degree windchill!

Re: Let’s face it Liner Locks and Back Locks suck!

Nope. They're great locks! I prefer them both over the compression lock.

My favorite lock type though might be the CBBL on the Manix offerings. IMO it combines the best of both worlds - the close bias of a backlock, the smooth action and zero-play of a compression lock. It's very strong too.
