So a while back I posted about wanting to get back in to bushcraft after a many years long time largely out of the woods, basically since I was a kid, and actually build some skill in it. I am a truck driver and have pretty limited time off so I had asked for ideas of how to approach it and overwhelmingly the advice was to look in to the BushClass USA lessons as a starting point and just kinda dive in.

Well after some intervening issues with my health and some other life issues eating up my home time, I finally picked up an inexpensive but good fixed blade knife and am going to learn how to sharpen it, as well as gather up all my other various knives so I have lots to practice on.

The BushClass method shows using a series of sandpaper and dry sharpening a knife that way, as well as using a strop. I’m planning to use the sandpaper method though I am unsure if I need any oil with it.

I just wanted to share as I am excited to be getting in to it finally.

Edit to Add: This Reddit account is reasonably new as I deleted my old one a while back and was mostly away for a while.

Picked up a PDPc in 4” and 5” to replace my two full-frame Glocks (a 19 and a 34) due to a number of issues that are more me than the gun and have been blown away by these things. They feel and shoot incredibl(y bad because I am a bad shooter but should hopefully get back on the improvement train now that I have guns I am not fighting)

So I recently picked up my first 10/22, I have some plans for it. Going to slowly build it to look like one of these weirdo Mannlicher stocked M1 carbines.

In the meantime, I took it to the range and put some time on it. I am really happy with it. I was curious if there are any recommended quality of life improvements or improved internals that are generally recommended? I know Ruger has made several improvements to the new production 10/22s that made them a lot better.

So far my most immediate plans are better irons and more magazines. I only have two atm.
