Finally got to shoot my gun for the first time (I've shot plenty of guns before, but not my AR)

Ammos expensive, don't blame you.

Fully-semi-single-shot-matic High-Capacity (1) Assault-Style (by standards of 1920) rimfire .22LR (which is basically .223, so basically 5.56 so military spec)

Yo, that's actually really sick mate@Thirsty_Fox

Thanks! They were made in Canada by a company called Cooey from 1919. He made the rifles for the 1924 Canadian olympic team and participated in Trap (got Silver). They started with single shots, then repeater bolt-actions and break-action shotguns. Last model was a semi-auto. Whole operation bought out by Winchester in the 60s, then later by Savage, who also bought the Canadian arms manufacturer Lakefield. Savage still makes the semi-auto (model 64).

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Love gun history

There's not much to Canadian firearm history but that's probably the biggest one. Some of the Cooeys would be known in the US as "Sure Shot" that were sold at Simpson's in the states.

Slav as fuck

I was gonna say more like lazy as fuck but that's the same thing you said

For any of you survival guys. I got the mora kansbol a while back, I have to say it’s a fantastic affordable knife if you’re in the market.

And I’m always in the market for a new knife

Moras are great, although I always have to reprofile and sharpen the blade.... they come pretty blunt in my experience. The handles are so good, though, and the steel is great.

but I'm more into Swiss Army Knives for the most part (and a few fixed-blades and misc folders). I find I need the utility of the other tools far more often than a knife

My moras have been shaving sharp, latest one was hair poppin. I carry a leather man slot of the time, but don’t want to skin and process a deer with a 3 inch blade.

Unless it’s my tiny boker skinner. Love that tiny thing

the Mora Companion and Basic stainless are excellent. The grips fit my hand perfectly. My only complaint is that there's a small gap between the blade and handle on either side with the basic... I want to fill it somehow because I don't want water or food to get in along there

I am gonna be buying a bunch of camping gear this winter for spring camping

As a Victorinox Swiss Army Knife collector, I highly recommend anyone interested to look at the Farmer X model. It's by far my favorite for outdoors/camping use as the tools are much thicker and tougher than the plastic scaled models.

The late Gen. Chuck Yeager recently passed away. Apart from being well known for his history-making in the world of flight, being the first pilot to break the sound barrier in flight, he was also a big outdoorsman who regularly did weeks-long camping and fishing trips. He was known to carry only his Victorinox Executive for these trips as his knife.

@🅱øg Wizard are you planning to be hiking very far with it? Or close to a vehicle?

Deep in the woods

The car will be about a mile away

Do you have a good pack? Campfire.com has ran some good deals on mystery ranch packs lately

Yeah good enough. My back is fucked up atm once I get to the chiropractor hauling stiff shouldnt be too bad

I have to be vigilant with my back. I found that stretching my quads and hip flexors helped immensely with my lower back pain

I been in 2 bad atv accidents so I have to be careful with mine. Every so often I need a tune up from the chiropractor

Yikes. Well if there’s anything you want to discuss about hiking or camping let me know. Always like trading tips

Its mainly when I wear a full pack, one of my shoulders start hurting like fuck. I know my neck is not 100% fixed

Its constantly cracking

Well a good pack that’a correctly adjusted going a long way for that.

Keep that weight off the shoulders and on the waist

Small but I was out for meat this morning

<:godemperor:445097873890082817>

Man I wish I could do that. Just leave my home in the morning, casually hunt something and eat it back home

What’s preventing you? Real question

Living in a city, not having a car, my own restrictive and covid-fearing family, not being a member of a hunting club...

There's so many things that I hope I could change one day
