    I am not aware that Trump did ANY hanky-panky WHILE IN OFFICE, unlike Clinton or others. He was too busy working from 3am rising to 12 at night bed time.

    My real "no hable" occurs with abbreviations. EDC--oh, every day carry, as in a knife? Tons of them, and from younger people, maybe indecipherable to me...YMMV

    WELL, the tweezers are great for pencil cactus with the hair sized itchy little, breakaway stickers. Those little tweezers work perfectly for that.

    That's why they won't allow a rendering plant near a city center. Knew of a guy that drove a gut truck to a rendering plant. Short of running over pedestrians there was no way in he@l the cops were pulling him over for any reason and having to stand near and write a ticket!

    And we have to add to all that FOOD PRESERVATION! Can anyone "can" vegetables in mason jars? My mom and sister could. How about make the sausage, or pemican, or smoke or dry meats, or salt a ham?

    Lol, when I first hunted in Zimbabwe, the PH said of a pretty girl that he would like to "knock her up." Well, I just about choked on my coke. Turns out, in Zim, that means to go knock on her door and ask her on a date! In the US, of course, it means to get her pregnant!

    I have certainly posted here before concerning Carrington effect and the need to Harden electronics. Not one politician has a clue. It is also a good case for having at least one vehicle with points and plugs pre-electronic ignition setup--they will still run!

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

    I try to make it the least strenuous that I can, APART FROM ACTUAL STALKING. If I didn't enjoy being waited on hand and foot like they do you in Africa, I would have my head examined. I have had a lifetime of hunting where I did every blasted thing or it didn't get done! Give me the safari life.

    Well, I rescind a former statement that your knife put me in mind of a Puma Cougar...there are many differences to a more discerning eye, not the least of which is your great thumb rest. Great knife.

    When you're in the zone, offhand can be magic...but jet lagged in Africa, with unexplained jitters, while shooting at expensive animals--the sticks cancel some of the jitters IMO.

    What binoculars do you use while on Safari?

    You may or may not use your bino while hunting, but if you do any game reserve touring before or after the safari you WILL want a pair of binoculars.

    Not to hijack a thread, but "Lay Down" was one of a genre of songs I liked, but could not figure out by ear alone what the lyrics were!
