Combination Pack Rifle/Fishing Rod Weighs Less Than a Pound - Neatorama

A pack rifle is one that is carried by backpackers for self-defense and emergency hunting. They need to be sturdy, compact, and above all lightweight. This .22-caliber single shot design by a firm called Mountain View Machine & Welding weighs under a pound.

It doubles as a fishing rod. See what the man's left hand is covering? That's where the extending rod comes out. Attach the reel to the grip. Now you're ready to catch supper a different way.

I don't know much about guns, but it seems like a single-shot .22 isn't going to be of much use for self defense or hunting.

Im more amazed by the fact that he could take down a big cat with a .22lr caliber gun.. I wouldnt count on a .22 to kill a regular person

Went to look at the picture in question. That's pretty sick-looking, actually. Somehow I doubt that boy was in danger of being eaten by that cat.

Although cougars and bobcats are cats, they're also dangerous predators.

I think you accidentally a word there. :-P

Apparently that station's error-prone ways are contagious. Lulz.

They must have had a substitute director that day, or a newbie. Local newscasts depend more on a competent director than most people realize.

Nice laugh for this early morning!

We just had a local weather guy pull a wonderful line out this morning. "It's going to be light, as opposed to something heavy." Which is better than opposed to something green or fish or John Adams.

Local news is the best.

All I can think of is that this wouldn't have happened under Ron Burgundy's watch. This clip would have stayed classy all the way through if he was still with them.

I live in San Diego. Believe me, this isn't out of the norm for this newscast.

The independent (non-network affiliate) newscasts have higher ratings. Although the FOX affiliate is a close runner up to the KUSI-51 (independent) juggernaut.
