Frosty Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Gottcha! I didn't know the term but I'm familiar with the basics. Almost anything can out run a human but a human can walk anything into the ground if s/he's "persistent." I don't think I've ever heard a term applied though I've read about it enough times. Thanks for lifting my dimness a little. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnut Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 You just have to be able to keep the animals pace above a walk. I've read accounts of San Bushmen in Africa keeping up the chase for 8-10 hours before the animal collapsed. Pnut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHCC Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Having a group is even better: everyone can walk/jog along, and the faster runners can take turns harrying the quarry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 The ways canines do it. The pack moseys along while the runners keep the prey moving, switching out regularly. Experienced packs run the prey in circles so the resting pack can cut the chord and replace the runners more frequently. It's a better economy of food vs. labor. Frosty The Lucky.

pnut Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 I was going to mention African painted dogs. They are amazing long distance runners. They are built for long distance chases. I love them, too bad they're about gone. Pnut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlpservicesinc Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 I make all my hammer handles the old fashioned way of splitting them out of a log or thick board and then aligning the grain and using a draw knife carve the desired shape into the handle. i then use a piece of glass or sharp edged sheet metal to scrape the surface for the finish. I then put on some mineral oil or linseed oil and call it quits with a good through polishing rub down. i have found doing the handle this way automatically puts lines into them as the fibers are compressed or elongated depending on the woods density vs abraded away which care little for density differences. Splinters are not a problem nor is the hand turning black from using a charred handle. Which I have used on someone elses hammer to come away with a blackened hand. years ago I used to do an hot linseed oil bath with the handles before installation but found they still shrunk over time. you can see the height difference in grain. Kinda cool also where knots were and the like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlpservicesinc Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 this is an interesting photo of the hammer. the bar it was made from is in the metal rack in the back ground. First time I noticed this. the bar with the turn buckle is from the Longfellow bridge in Boston, MA and was donated to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
