Dial 1833 KINGSTON COVTARD to release your insecurities

Being a bit of a numbers guy, now I’m curious… Care to show your math?

Kodiak
The math goes something like this.
Larry has stated before on here that he gets six months of vacation. (He has now amended that to 71/2 months)
But at 6 months vacation, and if he has 600 guns (going from his posts, with several rifles in each chambering in many calibers, he must have over a 1000 guns), he has 180 days x 12 hours a day, or 2160 hours.
Dividing 2160 hours by 600 guns gives an average of 3.6 hours per gun.
I rounded up to seven hours per gun, in case he hunts 24 hours a day each day he has off.
If he were to have 12 months a year off, and hunted 24 hours a day, that would give him a total of 8760 hours or an average of 14.6 hours per year, per gun.

If my math is off, I would hope someone would correct me.
Larry has had ample opportunity to correct me, but chose to confirm my other accusations by making a couple of incredibly childish posts that completely ignored the issues I brought up.

Do you feel better by saying that on the internet? Be a big boy and make fun of him however you wish but leave family problems out of it. It’s pretty sick what some of you say just trying to argue. If you don’t like what he says who cares call him a chit head and carry on. Bringing up things like that is mental. I can’t imagine stooping that low just to argue with someone on the internet.

I give two fugks what you think

I understand the feeling is mutual so why does what he says bother you so much? We are all just strangers on a hunting forum.

I feel exactly the same way.

So... you don't believe he is a sociopath?
Have you ever been the victim of a sociopath?

In the past you called me out for calling him a schithead....

Also him being a sociopath means his family are victiims....

You aren't to bright are you?

I don't know him at all. I just don't care for rubbing a mans face in the death of his son. I lived in Wyoming in the middle of nowhere for almost 19 years. That will cause some people real problems.

Thanks stick! Appreciate the pointers.

I like the 25-35 🥸

I don't have a dog in this fight, but "I realize a GOOD day for you,is one in which you don't schit your pants," was funny.

A few days ago I signed up for the 24 Campfire and had to affirm that I would respect the rules and standards of civility for the board. Only to find immediately that there is a member here, Big Stick, who, by several reports of other posters here, has violated those standards repeatedly and for years. Who are the administrators and moderators for the campfire? Why haven’t you enforced these standards with this member who sows such discord and evil upon these pages? Why hasn’t this person been banned long ago?

Those are good questions that deserve answers, but you're unlikely to ever hear anything from anyone who has the power and authority to force change.

Accept that a few bad apple can spoil a site and manage them yourself with the ignore function or move on and find a site that is more collegial. If you don't acknowledge them, they don't exist in your universe unless you let them. It's too bad that your thread got spoiled, 'cause this site is a repository for a lot of useful information that people with actual hands on experience are anxious to share with you if given the opportunity.

There are 3 different phases of a forum:
1) welcoming and growing
2) tyrannical over moderation
3) crickets.

Trainwrecks get a lot of attention.

That increased attention here equals increased traffic which equals increased advertising revenue.

BS shows us a stack of business card all laid out.

Wants us to think he's cool because bought that many knives from a well known maker. <yawn>

I think that there was a time long ago when Larry had quite a bit of influence here and encouraged people to try things that he was using. He was the Kim Kardashian of the Campfire, the biggest influencer and opinion leader who was an advocate for Improved cartridges, specifically the 223, 243, and 7mm-08. Same/same for McMillan stocks, Ingram knives, and Leupold 6x42 scopes to name but a few. I know that time marches on and technologies change, but the old gear still works just as well as it did when it were at the top of the heap. The behavior of the old show and tell Larry was a lot more collegial than the show and berate Larry that has been here for the last ten plus years, but that's just my opinion. I don't dislike the man, I pity him and while I am not given to empathy, I do wonder what triggered his drastic change in behavior.

Ingram makes nice knives, but if all you're going to do with one is field dressing a couple of deer each year, you can do a pretty good job of it with a $6 Victorinox paring knife from SMKW and a Sagan saw. A lot of guys buy custom knives and Swedish axes just to have them, but never actually use them. A guy by the name of Larry Lewis used to make hand forged primitive knives as a hobby and sold them for under $50. When I cited him on this site people had a negative reaction, apparently they didn't believe that anyone could make a sharp knife that would hold an edge for such a low price. Larry Lewis' knife making was a retirement hobby and his low overhead can be attributed to the recycled materials that he used, walnut planks for scales and old leaf springs for blades. Not fancy, just functional.

Oh boy..
