I carry many radios and knives as you guys know. Lately I decided to figure out my most used tool on my Leatherman ARC edc: Knife and pliers- So I decided to just carry a pocket knife and pliers and so far it’s not left me short once. (I keep a MT and complete toolkit in my car) And occasionally I carry my gun but lately I haven’t felt the need to.

Any other Amateur radio operators also into edc?

Asked chatgpt and it didn’t know.

Haven’t shot this sweet rifle in a long while, Feels good to have some self sufficient pellet flinging!

Saw a crewcarta on sale and took the chance! I’ve been out of collecting knives for awhile to fuel a few other hobbies while my ARC dominated my pocket. Through my EDC life I’ve found to need a knife more often than every other tool on the leatherman, so here we are!

Hey guys! It’s been awhile since i’ve posted over here- other hobbies been taking up a lot more time and my leatherman ARC gave me a reason to stop carrying an independent pocket knife.

BUT IM HERE, Over a year later getting back into the knife club.

Decided today I’d start ordering knives that used to stand out to me, So I decided to kick it off with another pm2 because It’s already an incredible knife, but in magnacut!! I think next will be a benchmade bailout.

Also is there anything big in the knife world I missed while on other dopamine trips?

Hello! Me and my son like to shoot a lot. He’s developed a strong passion for shooting and has a lot of airguns along with some firearms i’ve purchased for him.

I do not let him have access to my large safe so I know it’s always secure with handguns, AR’s, etc although I let him keep out some guns I’ve let him put money to buy/given as gifts. For example 20 gauge mossberg, cz 457, a few 10/22s, 410 bore shotgun, over/under, etc- I usually let him have one or two out of the safe for plinking or pesting around the house.

For safety I thought i’d buy him a small safe to keep these firearms in that he can get to anytime without needing me to get in the safe for a specific rifle.

I want something light we can move around and not too expensive, just something to help protect them better than leaving them out. I can pick this one up at tractor supply today.

How do we feel about these cheap safes?

Hey guys! I got a steal of a deal for this ruger wrangler at the range today- Guy was moving out of the states and needed all his guns gone, So with some contesting, I scored this guy for $80 cash!

They all look really good imo and I would like some opinions. Now they have an ugly yellow grip. I asked ai to put on some grips I found online.

Thanks!

Only thing I do not like is these ass ugly yellow grips, so I found a few I really like and asked AI to put them on my gun. They all look really good imo and I would like some opinions.

EDIT: lot of people said wood grips so here’s another photo with some walnut: https://imgur.com/a/gsvF8IB

Hello! After using my jpc-12 cheap antenna for pota a few times and had bad results I bought a buddipole after reaserching to see how they are. Any beginner tips that people don’t talk about with this antennas?

Thanks! 73!

Hey everyone! I know it’s been awhile and I’m sorry i’m not very active recently. But today I decided to take out the HW 50K with JSB hades 15.89gr and harvested a fat grey squirrel!

Hey everyone! Yesterday I bought my first HF and All band transceiver for $400! Did I get a good deal on it? I also purchased a 10-80m efhw to hang through my yard.

73!

Hello! I am wondering what the application of gps can be used for in a standalone radio? (no others to share location) And The digital compass the instructions said it had.. I can’t find any information on it actually giving n s e w directions. I cannot tell if it’s just for finding other radios shared to it or it has an actual compass.

Also is there anything else special about this radio I need to know about?

Thank you! 73!

Besides the proprietary gps in the bff8hp and other small changes what’s really the difference? Is it cleaner or better in any way? If anything it’s more laggy/rough looking.

Right now if price didn’t count i’d think the k5plus is a nicer radio..
