Good to hear from you Bear, I always enjoy your talks with Blackie. This has been a busy Spring interrupted by bad weather and high winds. That axe with the attachments looks like a very useful tool. Take care.
Hey Miner..! It's good to hear from you too..! The term I was thinking of is a "Pioneer Kit".. I believe that this axe and it's attachments will be an awesome addition. Spring has been a whirlwind here too. Hopefully summer will be a lot better..! 🐻
Hey Bear and Blackie, always great to hear the history. I really like the Forester axe you found, that's really cool! Hope you all are having a good Memorial Day weekend. 👍🏻
Good to see you posting. I grew up around so many WW1, WW2 and Korean war vets that it was normal. My mom lost an uncle to a sniper on Luzon. One day my dad said this is the guy that shot the sniper that killed your great uncle. Yeah we were in a bar. Nobody thought anything from the time I was in 3rd grade to my graduation to see a young kid in a bar drinking a soda. I took care of patients from all the wars including one SpanAm war veteran who was over 100. If you want to get other tools made for the ax, get some old leaf springs. I keep all the ones I get for "just in case." and I use them. We have red clay which is nasty. They use to plow a field in the fall so that winter freezing would help break up the furrows. The old board trick is what is in the tankers manual from WW2. It's why Russian tanks had a log on the front of the tank. Nowadays I just use the winch.
Those are awesome memories Willys.. I had many, many uncles, cousins and friends who were veterans of WW2.. sadly they are all gone now. Daddy was a Korean Era vet who stayed Stateside training soldiers to go overseas. Most of the kids I grew up with had Dad's in Vietnam. The only WW1 veteran I remember knowing was my Grandfather's brother, my Uncle Albert. Between the time he was inducted and shipped out he was promoted to Sargent Major because he had been a bookkeeper in civilian life and was one of the few who could read and write. 🐻
@@baileybrunson42 My dad was in WW2 as well as my mom's uncles. They both had uncles in WW1 still alive when I was young. Dad was suppose to be infantry but he had flat feet so they put him in the airforce. Those flyboys needed a lot of ground support in the Pacific. Sadly I didn't get to know as much about his service as he died when I was 16 and mom threw out most of his pictures from the war. He kept them in the garage when I was a kid. They showed all of the horrors of war including what a flame thrower will do. Then I worked with a lot of WW2 guys. One was in the 82nd dropping into France on that D Day.
I like it Will but honestly I don't have much experience with it.. I do know it works well up close (hunting in heavy brush or defending your home) and is equally good out to a couple of hundred yards gathering food. I'm not sure of the ballistics of the .45-70.. I do know the 30-30 drops one foot at a hundred yards I would guess the .45-70 was comparable to it. It's a good round. I hope you get years of enjoyment from yours..! 🐻
hey bear yall ever a come along to get unstuck? when coyote calling in the lovely blackland gumbo dirt of the Brazos river valley pa and his buddy alway carried at least 2 😵💫🥴
the way you're talking about horses I always thought it was suspect when some Historians saud said that some horse tribes used to put raw meat under their saddles and eat it when they stopped E-EWW 🤮
There is truth to that rumor Miso. It was the Tarters from the steps of eastern Europe who did that. It was how we got steak tartar. They would put it under their saddle to tenderize it and ride all day wrecking, ruining and rampaging. When they camped for the evening they would get the meat out and have supper.. (cooking it was optional.. 🤢) 🐻

Bear, what do you think of the .45-70 Govt?
I like it Will but honestly I don't have much experience with it.. I do know it works well up close (hunting in heavy brush or defending your home) and is equally good out to a couple of hundred yards gathering food.
I'm not sure of the ballistics of the .45-70.. I do know the 30-30 drops one foot at a hundred yards I would guess the .45-70 was comparable to it. It's a good round. I hope you get years of enjoyment from yours..! 🐻
