Where’d you get the torch?

The amazon

Ah, of course

Are you a sheriff?

I wish. Someday maybe

This is nice but I'm probably not going to be shooting at people regularly

Luckily I don't either. It's good to be prepared

As a New Zealander, this has to be about as American as a post could get 😂

Having said that, you guys make some great BIFL gear

Edit: it wouldn’t be a comment on reddit if someone didn’t start a random argument underneath 😂😂

I like the setup with the wallet and the pen. Also I like the look of the knife I think, what knife is it?

So spot on. I grew up on a homestead in the western US.

Benchmade hidden canyon. It's awesome and my favorite fixed blade to carry.

Is that a wallet? Who makes it?

Okay, it does look nice, but it is not entirely in my price range though xD

Detective cowboy cosplay. You dont need any of that crap it just makes you feel fancy.

Whats the knife holster?

You have no fucking clue what you are talking about.

You don’t know what the hell he needs. You do not know what his daily duties consist of. What is you have a problem with? The gun? The knife? The flashlight? I carry a gun, daily. I feed cows and horses twice a day (in the dark both times) so I always need a flashlight. I cut twine off hay and sometimes uncooperative feed sacks. I always need a knife. I wear a hat, boots, and belt too. So why don’t ya just get on back over there and hold it in your mouth till it gets limp and mind your own fancy boy business.

Wow this one really got you upset

Beta males dont upset me.

Omg you're one of those guys 😄 now I understand why you got upset

And you are one of those limp wristed males….thus your original comment.

It's a minimalist wallet that I LOVE! It's made by Hitch and Timber

I'm not sure I got it used and the dude included it with the leather sheath, it's a Kydex aftermarket "scout carry" style. It's pretty similar to these ones https://www.bladehq.com/cat--Hidden-Canyon-Series--4035

I live on the US/Mexico border in the middle of nowhere and there are drug runners that cross my path regularly. My neighbor is a human smuggler. But I think you are right, I'm getting downvoted for the gun in the picture. Even though most guns are buy it for life purchases.

It does make me feel fancy though, the boots and the hat mostly. ;)

Yeah for sure, they are very ornate boots. Hat is straight black I like it.

To hell with these creamy skinned pooftas.

Tell me you have an AR in your UTV. If not, why not?

I have a close family friend with a ranch in deep south Texas. I promise you, he's very well armed any time he's out on the property. AR in his gater, AR in his truck. 45 on his hip. It's a necessity. Too many people don't understand what is going on down there and they think it's an overreaction. They need to spend some time down there.

Just looked at their website, I found my new wallet

Nice assortment. Is that a Kel-tec?

Serious question, since my buddy and I just had this debate. I keep a couple of shotguns for home defense at the house, and I carry a 9 on me and keep a 45 in the car. I’ve got plenty of other guns (ARs included), but unless we’re in a war or riot type situation, why would anyone need to carry an AR around? Are there shootouts with the cartel that aren’t being reported on? Generally, if someone is an imminent threat, a decent sized caliber handgun will stop the threat just fine.

The migrants, smugglers, coyotes etc are far less likely to bother you if you are armed. Our family friend sees them crossing his property all the time and messing with his infrastructure (cutting fences, messing with out buildings, stealing etc), but they very typically avoid him. The saddest part is when he finds a body, or whats left of one. This isn't him, but its an example of what is going on.

You also have feral hogs, coyotes, bobcats, mountain lions, black bears, Russian boars that get to over 500lbs are aren't shy etc. These ranches are pretty large and remote, so you are on your own out there. Our friend's ranch is several sections, so its huge, but small compared to a lot of them in the area. I have neighbors on much smaller acreage that have rifles in their trucks by default, but that's strictly for varmints.

Oh wow! Thanks for educating me. I was truly trying to figure out why any civilian would need to carry an AR (over more compact guns). But I can totally see using one to pick off dangerous animals and to intimidate people from harming people/property.

Kel Tec PMR-30, looks like

That’s what I thought. I was torn between that one and the P17 a while back.

I can buy the costume you wear every day in the kids section of the dollar store. Right next to the cap guns.

The gun may be necessary. The knife may be necessary. Boots are helpful, but by no means need to be cowboy style. There are lots of hats that protect you from the sun.

This is a costume, and anyone from outside of the American southwest recognizes it as such.

Those are pretty basic boots ... Nice, but not ornate by any stretch.

The look like the boots everyone around here wears when working on their property. Their dress boots are far more fancy.

I disagree with the idea that you have to condition leather for it to last decades. Might look nicer but it will last either way. If you're talking about boots then maybe rinse the mud off. But the leather will outlast the sole more often than not.

Keeping them conditioned with the correct types of oils helps keep the moisture out and lubricates the fibers. This keeps the leather more supple, the fibers more flexible, prevents dry rot, wet rot, mold and mildew, and means the leather doesn't disintegrate and crack as quickly, and will most certainly make it last a lot longer. It is very obvious on items like saddles, but it applies to boots and other leather items as well.

I could maybe see doing that if you're planning to store them in a garage for 50 years and you want them to look new. But if you're actually using it I don't think you need it. I have a wallet that's 20 years old. Never once conditioned the leather. I have boots that were 20 years old when I got them 10 years ago. Belonged to my dad. Never conditioned. The stitching and soles will wear out years sooner than the leather. Conditioning leather is like treating wood furniture with a coat of mineral spirits. Does it help to preserve it? Yes. Will it still be there and functioning as intended without if you're using it, also yes. Just saying, if you like to take care of your stuff and make it look like the day you got it I get that. But it's not necessary imho

Weird flex, but OK.

What's the flex? It's a Leatherman which is major bifl, boots I've owned for years, and other stuff that i think is quality.

Sooo what are you shooting at cowboy?

tell me youre american without telling me youre american

(from an Aussie)

Madame, your trinkets are exquisite!

A gun and "for life" is just an oxymoron.

project a little harder why don’t you

By the looks of it, I’m doing a fine job as is.

Looking at the grip, is that a Kel-Tec?

As an American this is the most Texan this post can get.

Is it because of their small knoife?

You’re dick wasn’t for life so you had to compensate by buying a gun and posting pics
