Men DOING ... anything but sex

[suckonsimon]

I'm learning a whole lot from you, xian. The tyre trick - a must do.

On the theme of kindling:

 

[numeniusa]

You can split kindling that way with a light ax, too. You don't need to use a heavy maul. It's also a fantastic workout.

You need anyone to hose you down and towel you off afterwards? Hot water, of course, don't want any shrinkage...

I posted this yesterday in the Men In Kilts thread, but I'm not sure how many people venture over there. Kilts, bagpipes, and Balmorals are manly, right?

Love this...I somehow missed this in the kilts thread...must have blinked.
Thanks for posting twice.
LOVE this thread. LOVE.

Thanks for the above comments ladies

Also in the woods behind my home is a small creek that floods occasionally. this day I was using a mattock to free debris that was accumulating against the bridge which is normally above the water.

Caribou? Very nice. I bet that tasted amazing.

Yes and it did, young stag after the rut finished.

Awww, the Bambi pics always make me sad.

But I guess this is men doing men things thread....not men doing what I want thread

He was calm and relaxed when he was harvested unlike a lot of meat we eat from grocery stores, healthier meat as well.

I eat mostly fish - we all know they have no brains

I would rather chicken.

No pictures of you hunting chickens?

 

[Bookishleigh]

I get it. I actually don't like killing. It makes sad. But i do feel good about the end result. The way i look at it is that this animal had a great life and then one bad moment. Compare that to a chicken in a factory farm, a steer on a containment lot, or a hog in a gestation crate, and the animals i put in my freezer look pretty good. I eat meat and I'm not in denial that something had to die -- animal, bird, fish -- so that i have food. I'm not being preachy or knocking anyone who wants that separation. It's just what I'm about.

Well, I posted I eat a lot of fish - I just don't want anyone sending me a picture of it intact first

I need my separation between animal and food (like church and state, but not as political).

P.S. - And R2D2, er BCJ4, knows I'm just yanking his chain.

I tried to find a recent shot or two of me with clothes on doing normal stuff and sadly fell short of the mark. I'll have to take a couple. Until then here's a shot someone took a couple of years ago on a business trip.

Cheers

Holy. Fuck.

AF: I thought we already talked about you sharing my pix without my consent!

Around the 1850's timeframe, a smidgen of gold was found in the creek near my house. Now I'm not one to let legends die, I pan for gold whenever I have idle time. No color yet, but I do find tale-tale signs of it, black sand and quartz. I shall endeavor to persevere.

^Want. Do. This. Now.^

I was asked if I'd contribute a shot, so here is one from a backpacking trip, 10 days in the Wallowa Mountains.

Older pic, but it's me and Porkchop.

Nice Avi too

I don't know, they seem to be smarter than me every time I try and catch some.

Bright morning on a Scottish Highland trek few years back.

This is well said... the kill is the hardest part. But I make sure my animals lead the best life, and meet a quiet end... I figure my quietly taking out a hen when she never saw it coming is far less traumatic than even getting caught and killed by the neighbor's dog or a coyote or a chicken hawk.

In return for their favor of feeding my family, I do them the favor of providing the happiest life I can give them.

Also, I can't eat an animal I've raised unless I've known that was it's purpose from the start! I get very attached. And when hunting, I have to in my mind find something about the animal that irritates me... for instance, that stupid deer ate half my garden last year, so now...

I realize though that this is difficult for people who aren't faced every day with food with faces, and I try to be sensitive. I do like knowing where mine comes from though.

Good morning, fellas. Nice to see everyone is still hard at work
