I have a lot of knives, but have never really felt like I've been very good and sharpening them. What sort of kit or system do you guys think would be best for me? Price can be fairly high, probably not much higher than $100 though. And I'd prefer something non-electic, that I can take into the field.

Thoughts? ]]> sgtdraino http://www.wilderness-survival.net/forums/showthread.php?t=9375 http://www.wilderness-survival.net/forums/showthread.php?t=9374&goto=newpost Mon, 16 Nov 2009 01:15:04 GMT Sourdough,

I really appreciated your thread on "Best Survival Vest". However, I am most interested in "specifically" what survival gear you plan on including as permanent gear in your vest. ]]> General Survival Discussion sjj http://www.wilderness-survival.net/forums/showthread.php?t=9374 http://www.wilderness-survival.net/forums/showthread.php?t=9373&goto=newpost Mon, 16 Nov 2009 00:40:14 GMT OK I know some of you are kinda' curious about the Farm we just moved to, So I thought I'd post a few pics. All are taken from the house and back pasture,but you can see the road if you look close in a couple of the pics. This Farm needs a LOT of work. Today we did some fencing and moved some of the horses to the back pasture. So I grabbed the camera and took it along.Here we go....
The House.



The pond.



The neighbors.



The nosy Neighbors!



2 Mares and 2 Foals in the back pasture.

I used a slight variation of this method when I homesteaded on Lake Clark. It is so wonderful that these skills are being taught to the youth of bush communities.

I took it back the store where I bought it and exchanged it for a Gamo Hunter Sport .177 cal. adult air rifle.

I also bought several different type of pellets.

1. Beeman Crow-Magnum
2. Beeman Silver Arrow
3. Beeman Kodiak
4. Beeman Silver Bear
5. Beeman Laser

6. RWS Super-Mag
7. RWS Hobby

8. Gamo Magnum
9. Gamo PBA

10. Daisy Precision Max

After sighting in the Gamo Hunter Sport I began the task of finding the most accurate pellet to use in this air rifle. All shooting was done at 20 yards. After shooting several hundred pellets I found the magic. This air rifle likes long heavy pellets.

1. Beeman Silver Arrow - - - 0.5in.
2. Beeman Kodiak - - - - - - 0.5in.
3. Beeman Crow-Magnum - - 0.75in.
4. RWS Super-Mag - - - - - 0.75in.

It is no longer safe to be a pigeon in my neighborhood. The next chance I get I will shoot some rounds across my crono and see what the velocities are like.
