    2000 Nissan Frontier Build, Trips & Repairs....

    I was just running action packets in the bed along with a “7-day” Igloo cooler. I say was because, this truck is o the way out. I’ve got a 2017 Frontier with 12k miles in the driveway and I’m prepped to sell this guy. I had the timing belt go about a year ago, right at 210k. Swapped in a...

    Maxtrax group buy?

    I'd be in for the right price. Would prefer black.

    Concealed Carry - What Have You Got?

    Cool holster, I've been half heartedly looking for a paddle style holster for a bit. I've got a couple serpa's, but all on the belt rig. I like the looks of these G-Code holsters.

    Flashlight

    I've got some nice lights (Surefires and an awesome elzetta), but I've moved over to streamlights for nearly everything now. The polytac is a great light for the money. I carry it on my best at work and have a spare in my duty bag. I can usually find them for ~$35 shipped on Amazon. At that...

    Tenkara and Tenkara Rod Co.

    I had a feeling I'd get that feedback. I've fly fished before, but took a few ears off before picking up the Tenkara. I'd a four day trip over to the Steens right when I got the rod and was definitely yanking to set the hook. I landed a bunch of cutthroats over there and feel like maybe I did...

    Tenkara and Tenkara Rod Co.

    I used to fly fish with a "normal" rod and reel for a number of years, and ended up stopping about five years ago. No real reason, just got caught up in other things. I did the kickstarted for Tenkara Rod Company a year (or two?) ago, and got one of their sawtooth kits. I've fished it quite a...

    Concealed Carry - What Have You Got?

    I'm curious who here carries concealed and with what fun and setup. I'm always interested in what people are doing, usually because they're doing it better than me :) I'll start it off... New setup as of a month or two ago (which should explain why this is on my mind...) Glock 43 with a +2...

    1911 or Glock

    Carry what you can comfortably and accurately shoot. Capacity should be a secondary concern. The nice thing here is a Glock generally will give you all of these. Learn to love a Glock and you'll never need another gun. Just based on what I've seen at the range at the academy, new officers from...

    Do you feel the need to have a weapon when camping

    I'm in Oregon, far from any grizzly and pretty thin on wolves. I've ran into black bears a few times, once grouse hunting I topped a ridge and stumbled into one gorging on huckleberries about ten feet away. Every time they've taken off and not looked back. With that said, I carry something on...

    Which Caliber for a primary Hunting Rifle?

    I've always hunted 30-06's (except for a season using .270 and another as a kid with a 30-30). It's a great round for hunting in Oregon. Lots of power for big game (elk) and the range to take longer shots when needed (antelope). As for affordable ammo, I've always used surplus for targets and...

    2000 Nissan Frontier Build, Trips & Repairs....

    First off.... some credit (blame?) where it's due. I'd been interested in making the jump to a Nissan for a few years, but it was Co-opski's thread that gave me the courage to jump in on a high-mileage gen 1 frontier as my new rig. (link...
