First point. Thanks for calling me the king of DIY! I appreciate that!
No, but seriously, Carl won't stop DIYing stuff. It's in his blood.
Second point - definitely insider trading. 100%. The offenders should be drawn and quartered. Notice I didn't sell any of my Sitdrags...they're going in the Saddle Hunter Museum that @redsquirrel has been secretly stockpiling.
Nice twist, I will be more specific in the future when I throw out labels like "king", lol. As long as the "CEO" allows Carl to continue to share his awesome DIY stuff with in-depth write-ups, I will be thrilled! How many folks bought sewing machines after his thread on his DIY Kestrel build?
Personally, I think this is an awesome community of seriously bad ass hunters that I'm thrilled to be a part of, but it is a small community and one of my favorite aspects of this community and this site are the willingness of everyone to share ideas and different projects and ways to tackle similar problems and I'm not gonna lie a business venture that takes a significant part of the experienced community potentially out of that fold does concern me.
In the long run, I hope it won't make a difference as it looks like everyone is going to buy a mantis and a predator anyway, lol, I'm super pumped for you guys, I hope it all works out, although I will continue to use my sitdrag and fleece saddles with a rock climbing harness, just too many other things that I need.....and I'm cheap, lol.
