  1. Went down from 35 BFG KM2s to 33 Druatracs. Also removed the big ass front bumper for a Amazon special that was a little more subtle. Before and after pics: Before:
  2. That's been my experience with the 38gal Toyota tank. Never run it down below a point where I put in more than 32gal
  3. Couple weeks ago on a trout trip. Decided to get some chum out of the freezer in my garage beer fridge and soak it at a rock pile during dead high tide. Couldn't catch live bait because nobody brought a sabiki or any small bream hooks on the boat (three tackle bags, easily $1K in terminal tackle on the boat). Had to get rid of the chum so we hit the pile anyway. My buddy bent a khale hook and caught a few massive spot tail pinfish. This is what we bagged on the first one. I let him in the picture because he: bent his hook, caught the bait, floated it back and then ultimately netted the fish.
  4. PSA has a Browning Buckmark pistol on sale today for $300. Cheapest I've ever seen it
  5. Just unloaded a pump tactical shotgun for about 25% more than I paid for it 18 years ago. When shit gets back to normal I'll buy a semi for about the same $$$. Got a XDm without a system it fits these days I will also sell at a premium.
  6. Building on this: it may be a good time to unload stuff in your collection you aren't crazy about at ridiculous prices and then stock-up on what you want when shit gets back to normal.
  7. I kinda disagree. If we're using the ammo to stay alive we're not going to be practicing.
  8. Here's an EOTWAWKI spoiler alert: you aren't going to fire 500+ rounds and live.
  9. I just don't get the runs on ammo / guns when shit gets hairy. We're comfortable being armed for (among other reasons): SHTF scenarios in the first place... So when SHTF we need to all of a sudden run out and make sure we have ammo? Doesn't every gun owner already have a pile saved up?
  10. Who are these people who all of a sudden need ammo? If I didn't know better I'd suspect that the industry uses excuses to fabricate shortages / demand to unload their shit at higher prices.
  11. Had a threesome with my two boat trailers today. I got the worst of it. Ameritrail "uprights" were down to one, lonely upright that was hanging by a thread. The other upright left the chat last Spring in the middle of a highway construction zone. Not pictured is a step bit drill job I had to pull off on the duck boat trailer (securing trailer winch) and then the Pathfinder had a stripped screw hole under a hatch lid. Removed and inverted the lid, used Marine Tex. Time for a cold one.
  12. I just started reading a book about this called Imperfect Passage. I read about the first third of it today. Will report back when finished. Trying to get into the sailing part of the story. I am a power boat guy.
  13. M9 would be a great purchase. Had two. No issues.
  14. Bet some get given on that full sized mattress in the back.
  15. Florida Panhandle creek bite in my technical duck boat. Me and a buddy bagged about 30 of these. Scented plastics crawled along the bottom to start. Bagged one "wall hanger" on topwater at the end of the day.
  16. I would research the charter operation as extensively as you research a VRBO or similar. Keys guides (and KW guides in particular) are NOTORIOUS for being rude, unprepared and not really motivated to put you on fish. I have had Keys guided trips that were a disaster after getting direct referrals from inside the S.Fla charter fishing industry. The asshole / retard rate is astonishingly high. No experience with the operation in that link but the website leaves me with concerns. I live in Florida. I fish pretty regularly. Almost every one of my fishing buddies has a story about going on a guided trip in the Keys that was laughably bad. IE: "I had to use my own Sea Tow card to get the guide's boat towed back to the dock and then got talked-to in the marina about not leaving a tip" bad.
  17. I am an inshore guy but this is who I fish with while down there: http://phlatsinshorefishing.com/
  18. I always wind up dipping up a shit load of blue crabs on flounder gigging trips. I have trouble spotting the flatties on the bottom tho. No such issue with tasty, large blue crabs.
  19. Has any gun company ever pissed away more opportunities, in a better sales climate, than Colt? It seems to me like that company could've been printing money for the last 15 years and they can't get out of their own way.
  20. I own a Savage 99 in 300 Savage. Supposedly liquidating it for a relative. DM if you want info. It's just sitting here in Florida
  21. So immediately I am like "MOTHERFUCKER!!!" in my head. But then I look closer... It's some kind of ganesh statue for an Indian (South Asian) howl-at-the-moon festival that was apparently going on. Lots of South Asians in the old neighborhood. Crisis avoided. Continued on to the playground
  22. Lol I am an "every weekend" hunting or fishing guy. Doing so in an area that produces a good number of dead bodies. Finding one is my nightmare. So on a windy spring day I took my 5YO son to the neighborhood lake a couple of years back. He looked off the end of the pier and called to me: "Daddy there's someone down in the water." I pulled him back and looked over the deck boards to see this:
