The over analysis is over. A smith is coming home with me. And look, the analysis is so I don't feel stupid.:iamwithstupid: I hate that more than almost anything in the world. I gotta talk it out. Check it out. Weigh it out. I experience the world and it's mechanics with my hands and in the end I don't like paying people to do things that I should know how to do. Like change my oil etc etc. There is a point when a gunsmith is a crucial serviceman but to a great degree I want to know what I'm talking to him about. That's more productive. These guns are not designed at random. And you and I know the little things count. I always ask what and why + who and where if it's relevant. That's how I work. In the end I've pushed through a couple handguns and lost a little money. I'm willing to pay into the pot to learn what I like though and it's been fun but this won't be cheap so I don't intend to rush it or regret it. Tell you what. |

cohoho. Most trips were 16-17 days. One was 10 and that was the only one that went as planned. The weather either added days or had my pilot dodging severe thunderstorms to get me out early "before the window closed for???" This trip in June is planned for 10 days on the ground including drop off-pick up. But we may be able to make it 12. Have to wait and see. The terrain I'll be in is such that a person hiking more than 2mph on flat ground is a major stud, I'm not. Well not anymore :chuckle: It's almost impossible to tell someone how rough the Tundra can be up there. One step is mush, the next hard, it all looks the same...calf/knee deep ankle wide trenches covered over by grass. I did one 7 mile, RT, trek from camp across a valley up 400 feet to a view and back. 7+ hours, I think it wore me out more than 15 on the PCT with a week long pack. A lot like climbing sand dunes. It makes those gravel river beds water crossings and all look real good. ohhhh quitting time... I'll pick a spot not far from the LZ and day trip. With 100,000+ Caribou going by no need to chase'em much |

I'm jealous of your trecherous and laborsome adventures. Sounds worth the back ache to me. |
