    I desire a deer antler tobacco pipe

    I can't do a pipe that's ENTIRELY deer antler but I can put antler tips on a pipe.

    HOWEVER, smoking through an antler would suck, lemme just make you a reed stem hickory pipe instead

    the customer is always right ah

    i want a tent made out of bear tongues

    Allegedly a voice of reason.

    Oak is fine as long as you back it with something. That's the beginner bow to make because you can get red/white oak boards from the hardware store and make a bow with them.

    Hickory is the most forgiving, and Osage is king.

    are YOU on the beer list?

    AH, is there a weapon you might recommend for the man who inherently looks down on ranged weaponry, but still wants to survive in the event of a zombie apocalypse / a post-Trumpian hellscape?

    If you want to survive the best things you will need are some type of club/bat, a close combat knife, and a wrist locked slingshot.

    With those three things you will be safe

    For things you can make in the wild with a little bit of work: spear, knife, and hatchet

    EDIT: Weirdly, he wrote many sequels to this book, and I'm really sad that they weren't called Hatchet 2: Hatchet Harder and 3 Hatchet 3 Furious or something.

    but you have to turn amateurhour to oak and then kill him to get it

    serious though, how much would you charge? Do you need my draw weight or do you make one size fits all?

    I'd need your draw weight and draw length, that's it.

    If you ever come up with a final price for that, it looks like my draw length is 27"-ish and draw weight was somewhere around 50 I think.

    also I think the work's cafeteria vendor is getting fired soon

    they've been fucking up a bunch recently

    life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
    fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
    that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze

    So here's what I'm honestly thinking about selling, in order.

    First off, I was going to do tin fire kits that come with charcloth, a handmade fire striker, and a piece of flint. I was going to charge $20 for them.

    I would also have custom firesteels with antler or horn tips (depending on my access to antler/horn) and some carving tools with custom handles.

    Then I was going to make my way into knives using old files/lawnmower blades heated in a forge and make my own handles for them and sheaths.

    After this I was going to get into powder horns, possibles bags, etc.

    Then I was thinking of taking the old game traps I find at antique stores etc and cleaning them up and selling them as well. Anything I can buy cheap at a flea market or yard sale and clean up so that it's a legit working tool.

    Paracord stuff for sure. Survival kits, etc.

    hmmmm...

    Wake me up when they make a Mechwarrior game using the actual Battletech license...

    Although Rigs is a LOT of fun. I play the hovermech and using height to my advantage while raining death down upon the slower, ground-bound 'Mechs is very satisfying.
