That was pretty good Weston! Sorry. Had to laugh about being in the dark and hearing weird noises. I'm literally brush hogging a field, with a corn field inside it, at this moment. Last night, as I finished, I had to do some work right at the edge of the corn. Wind blowing through 10 foot tall corn makes some really funky noises! I didn't spend much time outside the truck. This is what it looks like in the daylight. Looks totally different at night!

Thanks so much! I've always been afraid of the dark, like really afraid. Probably will never change.

My past life gives me a healthy respect for the dark. I know what can be lurking out there when ya can't see anything...

I was most afraid of cougars. There have been a lot of cougar attacks in the woods I was in. I have a really big knife with a quick release so I held it in my right hand as I ran back to my car. To clarify, I was NOT running with my knife exposed! It was folded but ready to go. Always have my self defense with me wherever I go.

Me too. Ruger SR9 is my weapon of choice though. Knives are only for up close and personal work, and I try to avoid that when possible. ?

I just turned 18, so knives are all I've been able to have. [emoji16]

Nothing wrong with knives. I learned very young how to use one. One of the perks of having a father who was an Army Ranger. I fell in love with firearms later, then we really had some fun.

Wow! Can’t relate to this idea of having to carry a handgun. At night how would you even know if it was a person or not making the noise. Where I’m from it’s illegal to carry a handgun unless you are a member of a club and even then you must let police know when you travel with your gun.

I do lots of nighttime photography but I just make noise or carry a bear bell.

I would NEVER shoot into the dark! But if I got full on attacked by an animal or criminal, and if I had a gun, I'd shoot!
I'm glad I live in the US.

Weston, I wasn’t criticizing you or anyone else. I just don’t understand how your post about your vlog turned into a post about the value of carrying a handgun. I realize that in the US the right to bear arms is enshrined in your constitution, but this forum has members from all over the world and not everyone lives in a culture where owning a gun is considered a right. I just think that the focus should be kept on drones and not on the value of carrying a gun or other weapon.

@Weston Ney,
Interesting video, I like the editing.

I just cant imagine filming myself and posting it on the interment... It's.just so weird to me.
Anyways....
I do like to see stuff around the same Neighbormt.Hood.

Yeah, funny about off topic.

Maybe a section for
/off topic/guns and ammo?

@dirkclod, your thoughts?
Just messing with you....
