The shy ones are v skittish and will flee at the first sign of danger.

  1. Lower your visibility. You need proximity to land your prize but you can lower your profile by building a wall of books/binders/etc
  2. Attract via smell. A small plate of freshly cooked chicken nuggets and a small fan work wonders. Note: Make sure not to place yourself between fan and target or he may catch your scent and bolt.
  3. Attempt mating calls. Different species are attracted to different things. Start with playing anime theme songs and work your way towards memeified things like Africa. WARNING: Keep volume low or they'll be startled!
  4. Make the catch. I suggest this.

    Good luck!

You could also clamp a fishing net on a camera tripod and angle it to catch your brass.

Handy part being you can use it for most any rifle, pistol or shotgun.

Amazon has a variety of nets to choose from. I would wait for the net to come before getting started. I had used the measurements on the description page for the circumference of the net and it was 2 inches off. Luckily the net has a little stretch to it. I had referenced this guide for a lot of the process. I did not have a steam box so what I did was just ran the thin strips for the hoops in a hot shower for about 5 minutes making sure they were thoroughly soaked before bending them. I personally didn't use a form for this but it shows, clamping directly to the soaked wood left deep imprints. Hope that helps. Can't wait to see what you come up with! If you have any specific questions during the process just ask!

The ones I have specifically are no longer available, but get a kitchen scale and a fish\luggage type hanging scale.. The hanging scales seem harder to get an as accurate reading (well mine seems to move by .1 oz) but are helpful for large heavy things, such as total pack weight or if you want to find the weight of your old heavier traditional backpacking tent. Helps to verify accuracy of all items individually.

They have nets with 5 ft plus reach. And they are much thinner than the xbox. You could try to grab it using the net and then pull it closer to the edge so you can use your hands to feed it thru.

These fishing nets have a very sturdy metal pole and a large oval made of metal. Great for pushing and moving stuff to clear it of the other garbage.

Something like this is perfect.

Great idea for a thread!

Outside of some tying gear, I just put one of these on the list.

I have a few little gadgets that I really like but wouldn't necessarily buy straight out for myself, but made great Father's Day gifts, like the Smith Creek Net Holster and the Smith Creek Rod Holder.

Also can't go wrong upgrading someone's maybe older style net to a rubber based net pretty affordably.

Given the job and the terrain I'm imagining this is more of a general-abuse knife (ie, "sharpened pry-bar") than a dedicated cutter. Accordingly, I'd try not to spend a fortune on it.

Though they're not serrated I'd be inclined to get a couple of these (~$26 on Amazon) which are designed to be cheap abusable knives for this situation. If there's lots of prying to be done an interesting option would be to get a Breacher Bar, plus a sheath for it (such as this one but currently out of stock), wrap the handle with paracord and pair it with a decent folding knife (such as the RAT 1) for actual cutting.

Other usual suspects:

http://www.amazon.com/KA-BAR-Fighting-Utility-Serrated-Sheath/dp/B000BSZDP8

http://www.amazon.com/Ka-Bar-Short-Tanto-Point-Serrated/dp/B001EIALK6

http://www.amazon.com/Ka-Bar-Short-Fixed-Blade-Knife/dp/B000JMEWBC/ref=sr_1_5?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1334972468&sr=1-5

(NB: with the Ka-bars make sure you get 1095 carbon steel not 440A stainless.)

http://www.amazon.com/Cold-Steel-Kraton-Handle-Concealex/dp/B000BSY9AS

Or, for something rather smaller maybe an ESEE 3.

Edit: Just remembered the Glock 78 - again it's on the sharpened-pry-bar side of things and sheath and retention are probably better than most of the options above. (It's a proper Glock product and not just some random company that's licensed the name (I'm looking at you, Smith and Wesson) and IIRC is issued in the Austrian forces.) Available in black, olive green, and sand colours. There's also a saw-back version (the Glock 81 IIRC) but I'd recommend against that.

ka-bar dozier folder?... it's much cheaper than you were planning on spending, but cheaper doesn't always mean worse.

pocket clip isn't very deep carry, but there might be aftermarket clips for it, if thats your thing.

It's a bit pricey, but here you go

I'm currently using a Frabill 3673 Rubber Handle Trout Net with the elastic cord cut off. I have an Orvis Gear Keeper retractor, and it is attached to the rim of the net, in between the net fabric and the handle with a small yellow piece of zing-it (leftover from creating some dummy cord for another project).

The net itself is very light, easy to handle in the water, especially when there's current, and the wide opening makes landing fish of any size a breeze. One downside is that i can no longer use my net as a seine using a Quick Seine Net attached onto my net handle. Also, it's large size makes an awkward and clumsy hike in when the fishing access is of any distance from the parking area.

I like the retractor, but find that it's kind of long, so when worn on a vest, it hangs lower than i'd like. Same when worn on my waist as part of my current setup, which is a Fishpond Thunderhead Lumbar pack. I clip the retractor to the orange grab handle and let it hang behind me.

I've considered using a magnet to help wrangle the net closer to my hip when fishing, but haven't found a comfortable way to do that just yet. I'm also going to try using the thunderhead's fishing net handle sleeve to see if that makes any difference with comfort and clumsiness on my next fishing excursion.

Bark River have been having problems lately.

  • Incorrect heat treats

  • HT ruined due to bad grinding practices

  • Very poor customer service in responding to the above two problems ("There's no problem so we don't have to fix it")

    I don't think that you ought to get him a Bark River knife, because if it is screwed then it won't be easy to get it replaced.

    Suggestions:

  • Survive! Knives GSO: review, purchase. They might be a bit of a pain to deal with initially, but just go "Hey guys I want to buy one of your knives for my friend who is getting married on X date, can you get me a knife before then?" They'll sort you out.

  • Spyderco Sustain: Amazon link. This knife is amazing value and my most-recommended fixed blade at the moment. 6.1 inches of CPM-20CV (arguably the best steel in the world for cutlery) for under $200 with a nice leather sheath.
u/BunnyKnuckles · 2 pointsr/knives

See if he likes any of the Ka-Bar knives. They are a little more pricey in Canada, but still worth the money. Here's one that's a little bigger than the Gerber and only $12 more. For $12, you are getting an infinitely better knife.

I thought of an accessory that is worth mentioning in this thread, the Handi Seine. It's an ultra fine mesh seine sock that fits over a standard trout net to catch bugs when you turn over rocks in the water. It can really help figure out what the local nymphs and critters are and how small they are. Amazon lists it at $14.89, but I got this one at the VA fly fest for half that. You could make one out of women's nylon stockings. (Do those even still exist?) Bonus feature, when not catching bugs you can stash a few brewskis in it and anchor it with a rock to let the river keep your brews cold so you don't have to carry them while you wade.

u/SCOOTY_BUTT_JUNIOR · 1 pointr/flyfishing

I'll buy that it's 26". It looks like it one of these cheapo rubber nets at first glance, but the basket is the same one as on my Brodin net. Those fuckers are pretty deep and make big fish look smaller.

Either way it's a nice fish, nice work!

u/CupBeEmpty · 1 pointr/AskAnAmerican

Same name, different fish. Freshwater sunfish are like bluegills and rock bass.

Not my favorite fish to catch but pretty common.

u/thetripitaka · 1 pointr/Ultralight

I had this scale actually tested and it's incredibly accurate for the price.

I have a small fish grip attached to it by a small key ring so I don't even use the hook.

Works great.

If you wanted an all-in-one thing my buddy has this Rapala scale. It's really awesome and we use it to cull fish.

I carry this as a useful pocket knife. It suppose it's a little larger than most pocket knives, but it's extremely light.

I don't carry it every day, but there are certainly times when I want it and don't have it. I have a boxcutter in my toolbag, and a few more in the garage, and one in my vehicle.

I grew up spending time around a sailboat, so having a good knife was normal and necessary; I think most people who sail probably carry a good knife. I don't really like multitools personally.
