[What about a black rifle that isn't all black....]

Here is what I thought about when you said "...black rifle that isn't all black..."

[Tennessee Camo]

I would say the best camo for blending in around TN would be something like:

[Holidays: Contracting yourself out as Armed Escort?]

I know times are tough, but I just can't see putting myself in harm's way to prevent the theft of someone else's new DeWalt drill for $20/hour. If you can work it out, go in peace, brother.

Maybe not for a 18V, but have you seen the new 20V drills? 20 Volts of pure awesome!

You should post the name of the shop.

[Land Owners -- Size & Price Per Acre?]

Coming from California, that has GOT to be Prime Very nice

Was it passed down?

I was looking at a piece of land here in Tennessee, it wasn't for sale, but it was a tract of land I thought was prime. Pulled the tax assessment, and the last Date of Sale was in the year 1815 ...

Seeing alot of large acreage tracts being passed down generation after generation ... I hope I can leave a decent chunk of land to my kiddo's some day

My family is very big into farming in Northern CA.

They have been farming in the area since 1937.

[Land Owners -- Size & Price Per Acre?]

Hey guys ...

My wife is a realtor, and I have access to the MLS I was simply just looking for land owners, how much they own and what they ended up paying, that's all

In that case;

I own ~15,000 acres in California

I paid zero dollars.

[Land Owners -- Size & Price Per Acre?]

The sites I've seen out in SE TN I'd like as fairly remote scenic vicinities to live are decidedly not level and would probably not be amenable to farming, and it might even be a challenge building an access road and finding a flat spot for a house. But they are also heavily wooded. Are some of the heavily wooded "near wilderness" lands considered not good timber land? Or would any heavily wooded land be considered timber land?

Am not arguing, just curious. When I was a kid in central alabama, pine acreage seemed the main land that people would keep and periodically have thinned for profit, mainly pulp wood stock. The land I seem to like when I see it, tends to look like a mess of scrub hardwood, downed trees, underbrush, etc.

Dude, there are like 9234850934285 factors involved here.

Can you find a perfectly nice piece of ground with good timber for 1.00 an acre? sure, maybe.

I tried to give the guy some VERY ROUGH and general prices based on what I had seen around Middle TN.

As with everything in life...

Your experience may vary

[Land Owners -- Size & Price Per Acre?]

You haven't really given much to go on, and as mentioned; there are 3000 variables/factors that determine the price of land.

Rough numbers to play with:

$600-2000/acre rough, unimproved, mountain land (not level) with few natural resources (no timber) and normally large parcels of 50-150acre+

$2000-4000/acre unimproved or farm land in the valley

$4000-10000/acre more desirable farm land up to nice smaller parcels (20acre) suitable for building your compound/mini-farm

*Disclaimer-

I don't work in real estate.

These figures are based on what I have personally seen offered for sale in Middle TN in the last 18 months.

Best advice?

Find a trustworthy agent that specializes in farms and acreage listings.

Figure out what your needs are, and how much you have to spend and let them do their job.

Sounds like you need to do some real research...

[5 Dead at Clarksville Biker Charity Event]

Wow.

I guess that is why I was taught to never sleep in a vehicle/enclosed space with the motor/generator/gas stove running without at least one person being up and awake.

This was stupid and totally avoidable.

RIP and thoughts go out to the friends and families.

[Old Soldiers.....]

My dad is a Korean war vet, retired U.S. Army Reserves after umteen years of service. He's 83 yrs old now, and not until several years ago would he even talk about his experiences in Korea. After all these years, I just found out he was in the "Big Red" 1st Infantry Regiment. Maybe before he passes I can find out what the "Big Red" means. He was kept off the front lines cause he could use a type writer, he became a clerk for a general. Don't really know why I posted this, guess because I was just thinking about it......

Your dad was in the Big Red One, which is the nickname of the 1st Infantry Division.

Google/search 1st Infantry Division

I served in Bosnia with 1/18 Infantry, 1st Infantry Division back in 96.

[Where were you on the morning of September 11, 2001?]

I was in Portland Oregon on business that morning.

Got a call from the client I was meeting, and he told me to turn on the news.

We met at Starbucks 45 minutes later and everyone there was in shock, just sorta sitting there, not really knowing what to do or say.

I called back to California to find out my unit had been put on alert, so upon hearing all flights were grounded, I drove my rental car 600 miles to get home and report to my unit.

Shortly after, we were headed over to Operation Enduring Freedom to as I explained to my daughter (who was 4 at the time) that Daddy had to leave her to "go get the bad guys"

RIP to all that perished 10 years ago, and to all that have paid the ultimate price in the 10 years following.
