Yogi, read this.

Gunkid used to get kicked off shooting forums regularly for his trenchant belief that a concealed (in the butt-crack) short-barrelled suppressed .223 and a "tactical wheelbarrow" were the ultimate in shooty goodness, especially for shooting bear. A complete nutter. Apparently he got jail time for firearms felonies.

I believe his tactical wheelbarrow was the ultimate SHTF vehicle. (In his mind)

Gunkid was also the inspiration for a certain character in Monster Hunter Vendetta.

While it is fun to reminisce about Gunkid, I wasn't referring to him in my post concerning a .22 Short being enough bear gun.
That's an old joke about being out hiking in Alaska with a B-I-L that you don't much like. If a bear charges, you don't shoot the bear, you shoot your B-I-L in the knee with a Beretta Minx so that you can easily outrun him, and the bear eats him not you.

Although the tactical wheelbarrow has some merit. At least for shooting competitions.

Before WW2 put into sharp focus the error of some tactical doctrines, the Cole Cart was considered a viable tool for small unit tactics.

The use of the word "but" usually indicates that everything preceding it in a sentence is a lie.
E.g.:
"I believe in Freedom of Speech, but". . .
"I support the Second Amendment, but". . .

Never shot a match, when I didn't envy the man w. the cart - unless it was one where I had both the room in my vehicle, and the foresight, to bring my tactical baby stroller...

I'm almost finished building a gun cart using an old double jogging stroller from Goodwill and a couple of ATV gun racks. I just need to get new tubes for the tires.

I guess it's time for this, too...
