Snake meets Dumpster Mutt !!!

In our area I think that the garter and red racer are the most common. I have seen a couple of bull snakes over the years as well.
While hunting up in the interior I have also seen some rattle snakes.
Enjoyed the pic's
 
Pitdog,
Once again, I am looking at the cord wrap you put on the Mutt. It looks very thin; I am looking for cord like that. Where did you get it?
- Thanks
 
Troop it was just from a general DIY store, it came in different colours and just said heavy duty twine on it and gave it's breaking strain !
 
Damn! That is quite the view! nice lookin kit as well. As soon as I get a day where it isnt so humid (pittsburgh PA) Im guna get some pics of the view from some of the vallies in my back woods.

take care!

O.K., just got back from the hardware store... we're going to have a "DIY nylon-type flourescent orange thin-cord-wrap" competition.
I'll post pics then everyone can decide. :D But, you gotta cut me some slack, yours looks pretty hard to beat, and my KOA has a curved handle. so I can't wrap it all the way.

LOL ! I'm sure yours will be just as good bro !!!!:thumbup:
 
Nope. Just finished it; waiting for the super glue to dry.
Congratulations! You win ! Mine looks crappy; I think it's because of the curves...around the finger groove and shape of handle.
I'll get pics up right away. (Don't want my flesh to become part of the wrap... gotta wait for the glue to dry.):D
 
Here's the pics from the loser of the competition.
The top came out O.K....
 
PD, nice pics & thank you for the shot of the PSK. As noted by Siguy, the labeling of inside containers (fire, floss) is handy... I wouldn't have thought of that.

I suspect that the cord you fellas are using is mason's line. It is thin, typically bright colored (easy to see to avoid tripping on it), but very strong nylon line. It has to be strong since it is made to be stretched VERY tight between batter boards on job sites by gorilla-handed workers. ;) It comes in either twisted (laid) or woven braid construction. IME the braided line knots better because it is much limper than the laid type line.

Yup....that's exactly what it is. nylon...it looks to be the "twisted" type.
 
great pics pitdog, as usual ;)

thanks

Is that sheath from Normark? also how do you find the twine affects the feel of the handle? As it is my hand barely fits the handle

Hiya Bro, my Big Foot Hunter is a English Staffordshire Bull-terrier crossed with an English Bull-terrier !!!

If anyone here also goes on the Scrapyard Forum they will know that my dog almost died the other day. I was going to post some details on here but was too upset and changed my mind.
These are the details that i posted on Scrapyard....

I had taken her down to the sea as we always do and she went in to fetch a stick ( more like a tree if I'm honest ). when she swam back she came back with it on end. Anyway all seemed good and I started to walk away so she would follow, but she didn't. She just stood at the waters edge panting with water coming out of her mouth ! I went back down to her and noticed that her stomach was literally hanging totally full of salt water and she had gone into shock.
I raised her rear end and water was pumping out of her mouth, I did this until no more came out and then carried her to the nearest vets.
They took x-rays and her stomach was then clear but the water had filled her lungs so that her breathing had become laboured.She was put on tablets for shock, Diuretics and Antibiotics and I had to leave her there for about 4 hrs.

I am happy to say though that she seems to have made a full recovery and will soon be back on Bigfoot watch !!!:thumbup:

The sheath is the work of Leatherface !!!:thumbup:

I only wrapped the handle to make the knife more visible but it feels great !
 
holy sh.t, i did not expect that something could happen to a dog.
i hope she gets well soon :thumbup:
