This is the best I can do now inside of 4 minutes during play-time....

[no real para-cord here , and the old eyes don't focus so well anymore]

It might just work on an unsuspecting, hungry , juvenile mad fish once in a blue moon....???

....or not......who knows?

If you have not read this true survival storybook on the left in this picture yet, do yourself a favor and get a copy.

It's about these 2 guys surviving for more than 2 years alone in the Namib desert during ww2.

Fascinating stuff!

....cynicism during survival....
An example of cynicism in a survival situation ,is an attitude of suspicion where you believe the future is only bleak and when you always think the worst is going to happen and have a hard time seeing the good in any situation.
THINK POSITIVE!

During the Second World War, when South Africa’s armed forces took over South-West Africa, two German geologists and their loyal dog escaped internment by hiding in the desert for more than two years.
Despite the inevitable hardships, Henno Martin, Hermann Korn and their hound Otto found solace and meaning, far away from the cities and madness of war.
Martin’s book The Sheltering Desert is one of the all-time survival classics, and must-read for nature lovers and visitors to Namibia.
This is a really tough terrain to survive in!

Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
To much to political shit, to little Africa :-)
Spending a few years hunting out west then back to Africa!

Hello. If you haven't already sold this rifle then I will purchase. Please advise. Thank you.

I doubt you are interested in any trades but I was getting ready to list a Sauer 404 3 barrel set in the 10-12 price range if your interested. It has the 404J, 30-06 and 6.5 Creedmoor barrel. Only the 30-06 had been shot and it has 7 rounds through it as I was working on breaking the barrel in. It also has both the synthetic thumbhole stock and somewhere between grade 3-5 non thumbhole stock
