    Rolex- the stupidest, lamest company

    I'm pretty sure I'm in the minority in this but I totally dig that watch. A company like Rolex letting their hair down and having a little fun is stellar.

    Rolex- the stupidest, lamest company

    As this thread approaches 9 pages...I have to laugh. Y'All do realize this is exactly why Rolex is successful? 9 pages of posts...in under 48 hours...about a Watch? That's called Brand Awareness and Rolex has mastered it.

    Truck - what do you drive, and why?

    When I escaped Kalifornia and came to TN, I rolled a 7x14’ extended height (6’6” box) twin axle for 2,000 miles. For giggles I also rolled the entire package, 1794 loaded to the hilt and the trailer onto a certified scale. 14,988# Total weight. I average 8.0 mpg across the entire journey...

    Let’s see your pup

    No, not exactly. They are absolutely hardwired for them. My pups lose their minds when they see a duck. Just put the duck hunting channel on TV and they are completely dialed in, looking all around the house for the downed ducks. ”Tolling” means Luring - they have a very distinctive, playful...

    Favourite quotes - Here's mine, Quite a long list. What's yours?

    “Son. God told the Prophets to push against the stone. He didn’t say they had to move it.” - my Dad. (*sometimes, we‘re just supposed to speak up. Doesn’t mean we’re right or wrong…)

    Truck - what do you drive, and why?

    2016 Toyota 1794 4x4 here, currently at around 92k on the clock. I figure this truck will carry me into retirement in 10 years and still be worth a decent resale.

    What is the purpose of carrying a knife out in a safari..

    Well, I prefer a different blade form but… Seriously, my boots are Elephant…my wallet is Elephant…and no, I didn’t shoot either of them. Let us NEVER forget that wood and steel help us pursue Dreams. What one of us chooses to carry, is a choice. We should respect our choices. And I do...

    Two 8# Kegs Of H414 (aka, W760) Powder

    I have two kegs of H414 for sale. One is unopened, the other has maybe 40 rounds of powder missing (I tested, didn't like results). Let's go with $300 for unopened keg, $295 for the opened keg. Local pick up preferred but will happily split the shipping (*unsure on hazmat fees) with the buyer.

    What binoculars do you use while on Safari?

    8x30's are my preferred size. It's the right balance of size & weight. I specifically use Zeiss Victory 8x32's and 10x32's. I prefer the 8's when I'm on a stalk and the 10's in the truck.

    What is the purpose of carrying a knife out in a safari..

    I've said before...this is my Safari Knife - a Victorinox Swiss Mini-Champ. The PH will have a ton of tools and knives in the Bakkie. There's really just no reason to carry anything else that equates to more than personal grooming really. Go as light as possible to keep up with your PH...
