AfricaHunting Repository of Skills

[steve white]

We at AH are blessed to include in our fraternity persons with exceptional skills. With their advice, we have the opportunity to raise our level of their skill sets.
If they will consent to hold forth on the finer points!
For example, Tanks has shot a little over a million rounds, much of it in pistol competition. He is fast and accurate. There are folks who would probably pay to be tutored at that skill level. Could we persuade him to codify some of his knowledge in a permanently accessible repository of skills? I would invite him to do so.

If I were to risk a hunt in a marginally dangerous area, my choice for advice on security would be MidWest!

High end rifles--Rookhawk, perhaps others. Optics--our own Phillip Glass

There are many other fields, skills, regional expertise. Let the games begin. Who will spell out for us their entry in a Repository of Skills?

Well, not sure this is a skill but I have overseen somewhere north of 120,000 car deals in a long career. Happy to help with automotive advice or sell you a Toyota or Lexus if you have the want or need.

 

[Rez Exelon]

My most interesting skills are remodels and procuring things way way cheaper than most people think possible. Unfortunately those are really hard to share unless anyone wanted to come to flyover country and hang out.

Where are you located!
What advice would you give on car purchase--any inside tricks to avoid overpaying?

I have a masters degree in GIS mapping software and forest management, along with a lifetime of applying to southern pine and hardwood hunting land. I can help with property management questions if you have a issue.

I’m the market for a FJ Cruiser in the fall…

I am not sure how much of a skill it is, or at least a usable skill... but I probably know a bit more about painting fish than some folks.

You don't need an expensive rifle to hunt; any gun will do as long as you do......

Chattanooga, TN.

The best thing I can say is COVID changed everything. The market decides the value now. Not the manufacturers and not the dealers. Demand is still very strong for some brands and supply is tight. For others, oversupply and lower demand is a huge issue. With our brands we have some of both issues. Abundance and under-supply across different model lines.

I would advise people to choose their brand and shop around to find the dealer that makes them most comfortable. The investments are so large and the businesses so valuable that most dealers now operate in a very customer focused fashion. There is too much to risk by being shady. Obviously there are still some holdouts to the old school ways but your direct interactions with the dealer should tell your spidey senses which one you have. Find the dealer you like and use the internet to educate you on the market. The good dealers actually appreciate an informed consumer who uses the information as a tool rather than a weapon.

I could drone on for volumes. I will spare you. But, I am happy to have direct conversations with anyone needing help or advice. Just reach out. I won’t judge your questions, I will just help any way I can.

Now that’s a skill that makes me envious.

Very interesting, I used to map near shore and offshore wrecks, hangs , obstructions, , craters, pipelines. For commercial and recreational fishing purposes.

I can convert certain foods to a gaseous state with almost zero conversion loss and only the minor addition of a distinct odor.
