Trigger Twigg is a long time Alaskan Climber, featured or mentioned at some point in nearly every outdoor and climbing periodical. He is also a GREAT fan of our Tomahawks. He carries a Vietnam Tactical in a Double Shoulder Rig by SSS with his Ka-Bar, every day. Why everyday?
Well...simply put, "Trigger" is a Mountain Man...he lives in such a remote part of Alaska, that each day he carries his water from a stream to his home, generates his own electrical power, and often fishes or hunts to put food on the table for his family. He's been one of the few men to attempt a winter ascent of Mt. McKinley's North Face. He's set record after record in the climbing world and has often been called "eccentric", "crazy", and "colorful". Well, that's why we like him!
During a recent trip to Maryland to hunt with an old buddy, Trigger cleaned three Whitetail, with his Vietnam Tactical. In fact, he demonstrated to his friend Skip how easy it is with the Vietnam Tactical.
Enjoy these pics below and trust that there were MANY more, but that we chose the best four to illustrate the point. All of the photos were taken by Skip Harclerode or Trigger.
Notice some of the custom grinding Trigger did on his VT Tac...VERY cool and VERY agressive. It has inspired us, and we'll be sharing the result of that inspiration on the forum VERY soon.
In the meantime, enjoy and feel free to click on the links to read a bit more about Trigger Twigg!!

...these images are graphic and display the butchering of a Whitetail Deer. If you're not into pictures of this kind of thing, then simply don't look.

Trigger begins...
...and gets the angle
...and VOILA'!
