Thanks! I really appreciate it, but I don't want anyone to go through the trouble.
Although at this rate, maybe someone else will up the ante.
Hmmm.......

I never did that while in the Springs. Not sure why. I heard from plenty of people that it's rough though.

Damn that Krekel was good. I opted for the double cheese Krekel, with bacon, (duh) and grilled onions.
Behold thine Krekel:
OK, from cursing to....this? That's just downright cruelty. Didn't you learn when you were a kid that you had to share with everyone? That's just rubbing our noses in it.
That's it! I'm done with this thread and all you Krekelbags!
at least until after dinner......

My Mom's second youngest brother turned 16 on the day I was born. He's a really cool guy and was a major positive influence on me when I was growing up... and to this day.
Among other things, he often took me up to his cabin in the woods (where our family originally homesteaded when they immigrated from the old country) for a weekend of wandering around the forest, fishing, shooting guns and other fun stuff.
On one particular weekend when I was 11 or 12, he was all proud to show off the smokehouse he had built, and the large amount of trout and chubs he had caught with a weir in the stream behind the cabin (shhhhhh, don't tell the game warden!
)
Smelled wonderful, and we were both looking forward to smoked fish for breakfast.
So we had a nice day wanderin' around the family property and killin' beer cans and stuff like that. Next thing you know, it's about half-past asleep in the middle of the night, and there's a terrible ruckus outside the cabin. Bang! Crash! Rumble grumble tearin' stuff apart kinda noises...
My uncle peeked out the window, said a few choice words, and grabbed his favorite shotgun. I can still see/hear him looking me straight in the eyes and saying, "Whatever happens, do not come outside! Stay put, kid."
A black bear had smelled all that lovely delicious fish and decided it was snack time. Mr/Ms. Bear was out there
dismantling the smokehouse in a decidedly exuberant fashion.
So there I stayed and off went my uncle into the darkness. In a few seconds, I heard the deep, low thump thump thump of him firing his 12-guage.
Wasn't much long after that, that he rushed back into the cabin, barred the door and topped off the magazine tube, peering out the windows the whole time.
Naturally, I asked, "Didja get 'im?"
"Heck NO! I just fired a couple shots in the air to scare 'im off. I do NOT want to deal with a wounded, pissed-off bear in the dark!!"
The bear ran off, no one got hurt, and that was the last of my uncle's smokehouse endeavors.

Hey Kid, if that was you that called a while ago, don't be offended. Shoot me an email and we'll talk business on Monday. Sundays are for goofin' off...
If it wasn't you, then ummm... never mind.

What kid? This kid? I didn't call you! I've been interested in getting a quote from you though, assuming I ever find out what I want style I want!
I've been really close to pulling the trigger on a Bark river bravo 1, but for the price I think I could go custom...... I'm thinking "Big Chris" or you, Mr.T.

Yup, every time I think about getting a Barkie, I realize I can just go and make whatever I want myself. I'd like to see James' take on a Bravo 2.
Ah new snark thread huh, didn't get in on the last one much, been busy. Knives, job, life. I did manage to cut the hell out of my thumb the other day on my bandsaw. That's about all the new news here.
Pics, or it didn't happen.

Looks good but I'd need like two of three and some fries...
Yeah, it climbs 2,000 feet in about a mile. I'm lead to believe that a lot of people try it that aren't particularly athletic. I'm way overweight though so I don't know. I'd definitely give myself all day to do it if I did.

Damn good. I had fries and a soda with it. More filling than you think, but then again, I'm not really a big eater.

Don't pay handmade prices for a factory knife. If you have $200+ to spend, go custom, for sure. Big Chris makes really knice knives. :thumbup: He's one of the very few guys I would buy a handmade knife from if I couldn't make it myself. (Also, Todd Hunt)
If they can't help ya... e-mail me.
It's comin'.

They look delicious cause they ARE delicious! It's ridiculous how good they are for how simple they are.
It's not cruelty, it's keeping you in check.
I have a hard time coughing up for the Bark Rivers. I realize they are supposed to be "Hand Made quality, production quantity" or something like that, but still I just have a hard time doing it.

Get home, pull the battery for an hour or two, it usually is enough to clear the issue in the EMS.This happened to me today.
My parents are not going to be happy about this one...
