      We just post power due to the storm. Got my wood stove cranking for heat, trying to make it comfortable for my snakes

        Well the WA one was an order from etsy shop. When I sent it out, they said it would be delivered by Tuesday. It's been a week. I was saying the difference was one was stateside, still has been delivered. The international one will be delivered in less then a week

        I wish, it's the galaxy S4, I have had to replace it completely once, the current one is only 8months old. I once it's outdated, but it's my favorite so far of the series. They stopped with the external memory cards. But I believe bought em back.I use this thing more then my own computer

        The first video, he shows great techniques. If you go to that videos comments, there is a link to a Asian musician based out of Germany who breaks the whistles down, he shows it but I can't get the sound I want

        i was gonna say its pretty easy to make dildos, but then i read youre making a death whistle, and thats pretty bad ass, and now im jealous. also if the death whistle doesnt pan out, you could always sell it as a dildo.

        have you tried a digital fish scale, or luggage scale?swinging it with that attached should give you a good idea what the pull force can be and how much reinforcement miggt be needed.. I love mine, but i also know that the paracord is stronger and more durable in shitty conditions, so I always opt for those when i go chuckin'..

        That's an idea I will have a try at, all I have in waxed hemp, very thin. But it's not the cords as a whole, it's the whip stitch, by the pouch. The one by the finger loop is not a problem, since that it's there for show, mostly.

        I haven't tried a fish scale. Good idea. On the seat belt slings, I tug on them really hard. Maybe I should have a basic 3 strand, of jute, and switch that to use for the whip stitch

        Yes. But I already have a machete, I named ursala, there is a thread about it. And I don't go to jungles to use a machete, so I take it and make 2 different style blades. Cuz 1 can never have 2 many knives. I will post when I get done, I have a few progress pics so far.
