    A Ruger $200 Back Pocket Glock

    Yes, especially bears. They can sprint at about 35mph. That gives you three seconds or so from 50 yards. Tourists have a very unrealistic interpretation of what a safe distance looks like and often get way too close. IMO if you’re within 100 yards you are not safe and should be holding on...

    A Ruger $200 Back Pocket Glock

    Ive had to use my long gun twice with bears and been ready to countless times with moose. I never go into the bush without a firearm of some kind. Totally understand why some people would prefer the pistol, but usually when I’m in the bush the rifle is whats already in my hand. To each...

    A Ruger $200 Back Pocket Glock

    Never owned a pistol aside from “The Judge” that was a hand me down. Weird ass gigantic .45/.410 revolver thing. Only ever shot it once just to make myself aware of what it felt like in case I ever had to shoot it for some reason. Never really had a need for pistols. Long guns are all I...

    ***What Are You Smoking, May 2025?***

    Oh man. Still reeling from Chicago. Some 1991 Ashton Pebblecut in the Bill Shalosky blasted stack dublin, and some 2019 Le Petit Robin in the Scottie Piersel shag furnace. Some big weather coming in from up valley.

    Broken Pipe: Mark Ryan

    Wow. This is terrible news. Condolences to family and friends. Truly a legend that has impacted damn near every pipesmoker. I met him once a few years ago and be seemed like the consummate gentleman. RIP

    Show Us Your Pipe Dan Shaped Reformed Pipes

    Glad I could help! Pipe Dan’s are rad. Especially that mid-sixties era. Absolutely a revolution in shaping. Just scooped up a wild “spike” made by Sven Knudsen for pipe-dan in 1965 the other day:

    Beef Tallow

    My Great x 4 Grandfather lived in Missouri or "New Spain" as they called it then. We have a copy of the list made of his "estate" after his death, and on it was 2 "barrels" of beef tallow. It was a valued commodity. Apparently he owned property, and may have exchanged property, with Daniel...

    Just in from STG/MacBaren/Sutliff

    Bloodbath. Was hoping I'd need at least two hands to count the surviving blends on. And maybe Sutliff would sneak a blend or two in that wasn't goop. Oh well. Glad I did some panic buying, but super disappointed in general.

    Better Than Fireworks

    12 isn't so heinous, doable pipe weather for sure, but when the wind gusts like that it makes it significantly more unpleasant, not just due to the wind chill (which does suck alot) but having to fight with the wind pipe-wise just makes the whole experience much less enjoyable.

    Better Than Fireworks

    Hahaha, she got tired of craning her neck to look straight up at the corona point so I held her like that so she could see.

    Better Than Fireworks

    Quite a show up here for the new year. I usually have a pipe under them, but it was 12 degrees and gusting too hard.
