I know it's 4 months after the release, but you mentioned wanting a knife with a flat head screwdriver. I carried one of these for years. Klein Tools 1550-2 Electrician's Knife.

2024-03-15 19:46:55 +0000 UTCRegarding the research assistant, just putting a thought out there, but could you possibly reach out to a local university's history department? There's bound to be students there looking for internships, and given that history isn't necessarily the fastest growing job-market, I might put out your feelers that way.

2024-02-24 19:26:52 +0000 UTCA great feeling to have my letter read out in the mail. Apologies if I got the Dickens opinion of Colt's production facility in London wrong. I took that as verbatim from a web-page but even if not by Dickens it's an interesting contrast between the organisation of his workshop and those in Birmingham. Point taken from Othais that you can't upload photos without a response as he'd be looking through stuff he's not interested in for years. I mentioned The Great War which took me to C&Rsenal. Mae asked which episodes. Without getting into total detail the longer ones initially like that on the Austro-Hungarian weapons. A nice 2h 22min. And Othais was as he said decent enough to get back to my original e-mail. I had an awful lot going on at that time and just thought I'll mail it anyway. There was no implied criticism on the response time. Love your work. Hope you can keep going for a long time and maybe prosper some day

2024-02-24 16:38:10 +0000 UTCExactly. In fact, your description matches something that I wrote on the topic years ago so closely that I did a double-take while reading your post! π But in reality, a recon platoon set up w/ volley sights monitoring a cross-roads or pass that suddenly had a large troop or supply train moving through it could wreak some serious havoc before making tracks for friendlier climes...

2024-02-22 00:32:58 +0000 UTCThat's definitely a regional reference, because "wafflestomper" is a hiking boot with that lugged sole that leaves waffle-looking tracks in the dirt. Sorry, but pooing in the shower is strictly off-limits: ain't no "wafflestomping" reference going on in that 'toon! π

2024-02-22 00:27:44 +0000 UTCRegarding the use of volley sights. I need to go back and double-check but I believe McBride had some description of the use of volley sights in his book "A Rifleman Went to War". A lot of people think the extreme ranges allowed for on of the sights would be useless because there's no way to pick out a man-sized target at those ranges. However, from what i have found, they really never were intended for use against individuals. The concept pre-dated the broad use of machineguns and the idea was that a platoon or other group of men could bring a distant, area target under fire using aiming stakes and known ranges. For example, a crossroad or other area could be targeted at a specific time. By WWI the use of machine guns made that sort of antiquated but was still a consideration early in the war. It wasn't really a matter of individual marksmanship.

2024-02-21 04:53:40 +0000 UTCTL-29 pocket knife. AKA Army lineman's knife. Small spear blade and a screwdriver. Oddly, the screwdriver locks, but the blade doesn't
Mark Becht
2024-02-21 04:10:01 +0000 UTCClosest thing I can think of for that knife concept you mentioned is a Milwaukee fastback 6 in 1. Fast deploy utility blade on one end, slow deploy screw driver on the other. About 15-20 bucks depending on sale and such. They make a normal knife blade but I donβt know if they do one with the screw driver.

2024-02-21 04:05:01 +0000 UTCI may somewhat share your issue with shoes...you might have good luck with Asics dad shoes. I'm 6'7" and north of 350, and they help with tendency to ankle roll without being tortured devices. YMMV.
