    Welcome from VA. I'm a hunter too...nice to see a few floating around on here. We're making our 3rd trip out to CO this September to chase some elk. My tundra will be making the 28 hour drive.

    I don't think my truck has bsm .
    Just pre collision . Lane departure .
    It's an sr5 upgrade . 38 gallon tank . Nav .
    I was wandering about something to do with aftermarket bumpers .
    I read something about pre collision sensor on a few aftermarket bumper's
    Is that something I need to look for when buying a new bumper .

    A pic to show my love for grey trucks .
    My 02 f250 . That I'll be letting go soon.
    Been a good truck . But time to update .
    I just turned 49 and would like to retire in about 10 years . I figure the tundra will be my last truck .

    Finch .
    Growing up my father took me and younger brother everywhere with him .
    We lived in the woods and he taught us to be that I'd call conservationist .
    Taking what we could and would eat and protecting what we could for the future .
    Days at gun range learning safety and making it fun . According to my wife
    That did leave me with an addiction to buying rifels though .
    drove to Houston and bought a new gun safe a few months ago.
    My two sons have hunted and shot with my father and me cent's they were old enough to be out of dippers and go to bathroom alone . Lol
    I for sure have an addiction to collecting the old Remington model 600's
    A small rifel with 18" barrel
    I've redone a few of them now .

    Very cool, I started hunting with my dad as soon as I could walk too. My parent's house was surrounded by National Forest. They didn't really approve of the other kids around me (drugs, getting locked up, etc) so I didn't really hang out with anyone but they didn't mind if I went exploring/hunting in National Forest. I'd be gone all day unless I heard my mom blowing the car horn and then I knew it was time to come home. :)

    I like the knives - something I'd someday like to learn how to make. I've got some great sheds that would make great handles. Found this bad boy on the side of the road last Sunday while taking my daughter to the movies. Pulled a u-ey and snatched it up. I'd have a hard time cutting them down to a knife handle though. Shed #8 for me this year.

    One last pic for all our veterans .
    Made this on request from a friend in army rangers overseas now .
    He wanted something deadly for hand to hand .
    I'm in the process of making enough for the rest of the guys on his op's team.
    Just takes a while.
    All free of charge of course . There staying up nights so we can sleep safe every night . Buy new trucks and live life unaware of dangers .

    That’s quite the price of art there. Beautiful knife.
