  1. Awesome knife, you are doing a great job. I like the high viz, there's less chance of leaving them behind
  2. Awesome knife, well done
  3. Great work, very impressive
  4. Very cool, some health looking deer there
  5. Beautiful job, well done. your knife has turned out better than some of my attempts at knife-making
  6. Great work, it came up well.
  7. Just had a look at their website, I was impressed. The pants prices are comparative to Tusx, I like their sizing, Im tall so findind pants that fit and are comfortable can be difficult.
  8. I havent had a chance to try the sleeping bag out yet. With the current isolation restrictions, i have not been out and about and It hasnt been quite cold enough to give it a proper rating yet. I have tried the fit, im 6'2 and the bag fitted ok, the insulation felt like it would be sufficient, but I need to try it on cold overnighter to be sure. I will keep you posted when i get a chance Pat
  9. I already have a down sleeping bag, which has kept me warm on some very cold nights. However i wanted a lighter bag as the one i have is sometimes overkill. I recently seen this Recon bags come up sale, so i brought one ($160?). Seems ok but will need some cold nights to test it out
  10. Amazing, you make beautiful knives. I won a heap of big old saw blades from an aution years back. I built a gas forge, brought a linisher, plama cutter and I started making knives out of the steel (self taught, from ebooks and online info) but lost motivation. Seeing these knives you made makes me want to get back inot it again. Well done
  11. Hi Happy Jack I have used the birdseye imagery, I found it to be not very good, I definitely would not recommend it. The aerial images was not very clear, it was like a bad version of google earth. I have a rino750 at the moment and just the cheap topo maps of ebay. This is the second Rino 750 unit, the first was a lemon I sent back and got replaced, no issues, easy, friendly service. The new 750 unit has been faultless and the maps have been great
  12. I have use two types of bino harness syestems, the Solo hunter and Marsupial gear Both strap to your chest so they are close to your body, so if you are on your hand and knees they don't get in the way, they protect your binos from the rain or scrub Both harness have a lid with magnets, so when you open the harness the lid stays open out of the way, until you need to put your bino away, I found this system works without any issues I have attached a additional pouch to the side of the harness, so that a gps or a range finder can be accessed easily. Marsupial gear made a pouch specifically for the Garmin Rino Anyway, I found these two types of bino harness system works well, they make carrying/protecting/using your binos easy. Well worth the money Cheers Pat
  13. Love the knife, it looks beautiful. You've done an amazing job, i can see you put alot time into it.
