I know guys in the guard personally that make more than that so I'm not sure the seal salary is correct but if so they are being cheated. Salary is standardized according to the official pay chart, and goes up with rank and experience. Even for elite units like the SEALs, or Marine Force Recon, or ...

Yeah. My spoon from the Bushcraft Challenge cracked on me, too. It just didn't like the air indoors, time for a do-over!

Son of Liberty is away on business and asked me to conduct the next Bushcraft Challenge -- The Tinder Bundle. Here we go... The only trick here is to think, "loosely packed bird's nest..." IMG_20130423_141432.jpg ... made of crushed dry leaves found under sheltered trees, or in sheltered stump holes...

I actually like your squared off design, Coach. Lends efficiency to the carving process. I'mma take this idea and run with it on my next spoon. Reminds me of my favorite measuring spoon set --

I really somehow think SEALs aren't doing it for the money. More into it for the sense of "making a difference." That said, they could stand a few extra bills in the beer fund, sure.

North and I don't see eye to eye on everything. But when we agree, it's to the nth.

College is not completely without value, agreed. I just think it's a shame the alternatives aren't as well regarded. Nursing school proves resolve, military service proves determination, and a trade apprenticeship shows plenty of character, as well. But I'm old and jaded. Can't stand the university ...

Okay. You and I both are entrepreneurs, not employees, so I can see that. Thanks. Interesting vid. I just took the opportunity to write down a few observations of my own, since sulibreezy was holding forth his philosophy.

Well now I'm curious, BIGC... what was your take on it?

Sad fact # 1 - Employers would LOVE to administer an IQ test for all new hires. But they can't. So they use college degree status as a substitute. Sad fact # 2 - Higher education has been so dumbed down that it no longer really even counts as a substitute for an IQ test. Sad fact # 3 - College ain't...

Agreed.

Trooper Shane (not sure his rank, older sounding gentleman) mentioned that "reasonable man" legal theory might cover the entire cabin compartment as "factory installed" but from his POV he's waiting on more concrete instructions. And to him that means a law change or a test case. Since I have no ide...

Well, I talked with a Trooper named Shane who was very knowledgeable, and who immediately pointed out that from a LEO POV, "including but not limited to" is not ideal language from a law enforcement standpoint. *He's* waiting on a court case or a change in language. Should have made that clearer. *I...

Talked with KY State Police, and.... ... we're pretty much in limbo till a court case comes along down the pike to interpret some rather vague wording. I'm gonna err on the side of caution and use a lock box in the trunk (gives me a double-key sense of security when leaving the car unattended) and u...

Thanks, Doc. That helps a lot. (And I read yer heads up on the Ohio rule change. Appreciate it.) A lot of these questions would disappear if only car manufacturers took gun owners into consideration at the design phase, but I'm not holding my breath. I understand that *they* understand that *we* und...

^^ Awesome spoons! This thread has re kindled an old hobby... especially since so many here seem to share the same interest and passion for old-time wood working. My next weekend project will be to build a draw knife bench for future spoon making and other projects: shaving horse.jpg ... will post u...

Scenario 1) CCDW with loaded weapon

Scenario 2) Non-CCDW with unloaded weapon, stored separately from ammo

All of these responses jive with my own understanding, and thanks. Does anyone know if a) *bolting* a lock box to the trunk floor or b) cabling a pack down to the trunk floor or c) cabling a lock box under the passenger seat, violates the "factory installed" provision of KY law? Both the primary CCD...

... I'd like to put a small handgun in with my other car emergency supplies, but I want it to be both KY legal and secure. I was thinking about a bolted down lock box in the trunk, or some sort of lockable cable netting to secure a whole bug-out-bag. Any one have experience with either of these opti...

Wow. Just.... wow. Way to step up the game, nemo! Looks amazing.

Yeah! It'd be up the parents to decide what's detachable and age-appropriate, but that's the idea! Made it out of stuff found in the office and garage. Emphasized the knots because we've made paracord bracelets together before, and those seemed to capture the kiddos' attention. (For a while anyway, ...

It's got various mechanics like knots and clamps and padlocks to experiment with. It's a young boys workshop pegboard, just everything is attached for safety.

My version of something found on the intertubes. For a friend's son. Every man must have one one of these, Hell I'm 37 and *I* want one?

I am tickled pink to be the exception to the rule it seems. I bought my `13 Mustang from Oxmoor and they treated me rather well. As for test driving it... Well, you are talking about a high performance car with serious collector value. The lower the miles, the more valuable. With something akin to ...
