My Bedroom In Alaska

[Zundfolge]

God I love this place ... Tamara shows us a photo of her boudoir and nobody cares that its not pink and there are no lacy "unmentionables" lying about

What a buncha gun geeks we is.

 

[Cosmoline]

I'm apparently not the first person to think of using a Mosin with FMJ bullets for upland game:

 

[charby]

This might make a better bedroom?

Once I get settled into my new place maybe we need to have a thread that shows gun orientated, I mean gun nut's no wait... guns enthusist's bachelor/bachelorettes pads.

I want a bunker like that on the compound! Sadly the water table is just five feet down.

 

[charby]

I am moving into a place that a couple of my friends have referred to as the "hobbit hole". To make a long story short its the cook's basement apartment of an old fraternity house built in the 1920's.

Those houses are built like like the old brick and concret dormitories. Moving there due to circumstances beyound my control and its a place that is ready now and cheap (and I get to keep my doggie)

But that bunker would kick major butt but I wonder how to keep the humidity from rusting my blued firearms.

My mother has always wanted to move to Alaska. Now I have evidence that proves she is crazy. I live in relative luxury compared to poor Cosmo.

 

[R.H. Lee]

The more I learn about Alaskans, the more I think to myself "ya buncha sick, twisted freaks"

 

[Cosmoline]

Sick and twisted?! Why you tell me what could be better than having grouse hanging close at hand while watching a DVD. You can grab some pilot bread, rip off a piece of raw bird, and have yourself a fine meal right there.

I was offered a job at the Children's Hospital in Providence, but I couldn't talk the wife into it. She said we'd end up living in, well a place alot like your's. And she seemed to think that was a bad thing. Women

 

[TrapperReady]

And guys in Alaska wonder why there is such a low percentage of women in the state. I bet you get a good night's sleep anytime a heavy rainstorm hits.

BTW, most of the ice-fishing sheds around here would put that place to shame.

And then there are those of us who have children. . .

. . . so we have to be a bit more careful about what we leave lying around.

But still close at hand lies a box. Who knows what lies in the hearts of evil black boxes? ? ?


Only The Shadow knows! Mwahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

 

[countertop]

Who knows what lies in the hearts of evil black boxes? ? ?

Who cares whats in the box. . . . I want to know what the heck is an accordian crime? Do you force people to listen to polka till they die of insanity????

 

[armoredman]

You mean there IS someone in Alaska who likes Mosins? COOL! Or in your case, cooooooold......It's a chilly 68 down here today.....wearing the long sleeves, and jacket later....

 

[nitesite]

Matt G,

Them fingertip touch-code lockboxes are very nice,

but yours looks like a 1920s toaster in that picture

 

[1911Ron]

Shoot that ain't primative they's got shelves on the wall and hangy things for guns and such

 

[Sindawe]

Bbrrrrrrrr

That looks COLD Cosmoline!!! Colder than even I like (been know to keep the windows open in winter, much to the consternation of guests and cats).

I suppose yuu folks in Alaska know of one Mr. Dick Proenneke. Went up to Alaska in his mid 40s (as far as I can figure), built his cabin by hand, and lived there for 35 some years, by himself. I just learned of his adventure a few weeks ago. Wow!

 

[spartacus2002]

Quick war story involving dealing with cold...

when I was stationed at Fort Polk, LA, I had a job that required me to live in the back of a Humvee for 2 weeks at a time. Canvas-top Humvees are not known for their insulation, and yes it can get relatively cold in Louisiana (20F high one December -- not cold compared to Alaska, but still unpleasant if outdoors.).

So, I took 4 extra feet of heater vent hose to the field once, hooked one end to the heater vent, stuck the other end in my rubberized sleeping bag cover.

Then, I made a huge loop of 550 cord running thru the interior of the Humvee, tied to the ignition switch.

If i woke up freezing cold, just reach out, give the rope a tug, wait for the orange glow-plug light to go out, then yank it hard till the engine catches. After about 20 minutes, the hot air heats up the sleeping bag, and I tug the rope the other way to cut it off.

 

[Cosmoline]

I gotta keep warm somehow, Wild boy.

 

[Standing Wolf]

No gold star for making your bed bright and early in the morning.

 

[Wildalaska]

[seeker_two]

Pretty nice, Cosmo. I thought you Alaskans just stretched a bear skin b/t two moose antlers & made a furry hammock...

And Tamara wins the "Most Fun You Can Have With Your Clothes On In A Gal's Bedroom" award w/ her beautiful rack.....









(...of rifles, of course. )

 

[GD]

Mosin

You've got me curious now. That rifle looks to be a Finnish M91. What variation is it? Tikka? VKT? capture? I can't think of a better place for a Finnish rifle, other than in Finland.

 

[Cosmoline]

The thought of your iron keeps me warm.

And you only like her because she's got bigger guns.

I was going to comment about last night's 14 deg low in North Carolina, but then I was stunned to realize that I have a more foo-foo bedroom than Tamara. At least there is a cocked and locked 10mm resident, else I'd feel really foofy.
