Took the wife and the grandson on an ATV trip to Colorado last summer. We panned in 2 different spots. Found nothing in the first spot and had flakes in ever pan in the second. It was fun. Kind of exciting. Very simple and easy to do.
Harrison Crawford Adventure Trail
I have done the Knobstone and several other trails around the state. There are a lot of scenic places for a day hike in Indiana. If you can't find commited friends, do it alone. You may run into other solo hikers that have the same pace. I haven't been on it...
I would rather be told that if I left my home and got in a jam in the cold weather that I was on my own than be told that I could not go out. I would rather be told that if my home was destroyed by a flood or tornado and it was unsafe to enter that I was on my own than to be told that I could...
Blue hat***, Indygunworks???? I am huntrdan in Appelseed. An orange hat. Have our paths crossed?
So it is a Verbruggen barrel !! I used to work with a guy that had a Verbruggen that he bought from SBR.
No. Sorry. Didn't mean that at all. Your construction process reminded me of my own. With the card board template and all. Mine is not Parrot rifle. I was referring to ghuns post. I do have a single trail with 2 cheeks. It most closely resembles a Confederate 6 pounder. Unfortunately I...
That would be the Parrot rifle. Truly simple way they had of making the projectile go bang when it hit something. Everthing else depended on a timed fuse and enough flame blowing around the ball to light it.
Everything I have got is 35 mm. I did post a video on here about a year ago. Your pictures look much like mine did. I spent every spare minute I had working on it once I got started.
I built one about 20 years ago and have shot a little bit of everything out of it. Packed damp grass is the safest as is doesn't allow much pressure to build up and it doesn't catch on fire. But it will produce a lot of noise. I started with a 7 inch diameter by 42 inch long piece of cold rolled...
I save my deer hides. I had 4 of them tanned and dyed hair off. My mom has always been a miracle worker with a sewing machine so I asked her to "help" me make a buckskin jacket. The only help she allowed me to do was cut out the pattern. It turned out pretty amazing. Now my grandson is saving...
I did a bear hunt in Idaho with Lost Lake Outfitters about 8 years ago. We had a base camp about 4 hours by horse into the mountains. There were 4 of us. 3 bowhunters and 1 rifle. We killed 4 bears. That was one of the best hunts I have ever been on. I don't know if Lost lake is still in...
