I had a few more coworkers in the office today than typical since COVID hit. A few outlying rural areas are still getting fixed. My power flickered last night just enough to reset the oven clock. This one affected people a little south of me more than usual. Up where I'm at, we get 3 to 6 of these e...

[Posted in the wrong thread but....still applies] Just something to consider: we frequently talk about physical fitness here being a prep. I want to give it another plug. It is a good prep no matter WHAT happens (war, natural disasters, alien abduction). Remember, ideally, you will get old. Everyth...

The LGS nearest me is closing cause they can't get any inventory in. They have nothing but cases, organizing stuff, and a couple trade-in shotguns.

Anyone considering selling some of their stores right now? Prices are unreal...I’m seriously thinking of cashing out a big chunk to build a detached garage with a small 1 bedroom guest house at our new place that’s nicer and on more land, but a lot smaller than our old house. I’d consider using it ...

They've already got most of it fixed. This is a pretty normal seasonal occurrence here.

Watch out for "inactivity fees" on a bank account you don't expect to use regularly. I used to work and travel in Europe every summer and thought it would be smart to keep a bank account at an international bank with easy access in all the European countries I had primary interest in. That was a mis...

That said the RE market in the area near my farm in rural MS has been booming even with new housing going up. I actually had someone (with a NY plate) drive down my driveway and offer to buy our place from my wife. She was neither pleased nor impressed with the intrusion. She also strongly suggeste...

Yesterday I was staring at an unopened tin of Danish cookies and struggling with whether to open them. I can resist goodies in an unopened container for months. But the moment it's opened... Anyway, it occurred to me that a lot of candies and cookies come in a wide range of metal tins nothing other ...

What about establishing a population of Werewolf mice to combat the field mice you are dealing with?

This is why we can't have nice things!

It was 10 years ago. And it was constant "the sky is falling" melodrama. If you find they have sane people handling the mail now, let me know. I'd like to support a 2A rights organization. I just don't want the constant hysteria being mailed to me. I recently heard about NAAGA, a minority focused gu...

I think I'd trust random reloads I found on the floor at a gun range more than I trust the media these days. As for the NRA, the big problem a lot of folks have with the organization all stems from Wayne LaPierre and his cronies basically using the NRA as their own personal spending account. Agree ...

For those who can't/won't connect with family tribe, there is always "tribe of choice." Results will likely vary, but that can be said of almost anything. I want to strongly emphasize this. There's a common saying that you can choose your friends, but not your family. That stops being true as soon ...

I am not a regular NPR listener anymore, because the last few years have had way too much political personality commentary content for my tastes, but on the topic of gun rights a listener should go in assuming they are attempting to mislead. Or they don't know enough to ask the right questions. I r...

The events of the last year haven't hit me all that hard other than annoyances. Except for having to lay off most of my crew. That was rough. But I was not that worked up over the news. The picture of the House Chamber barricaded with furniture and guards having their guns pulled messed with me. I w...

Glad to help. When/if you get around to installing it, mind revisiting and letting us know what you think? (At least of the process; I don't think we need you to throw rocks at your windows. I mean, unless you just want to, FOR SCIENCE!) After I get the hang of putting it on my own windows, I'll co...

I received two goal zero lanterns in the mail today that I ordered on an "open box sale." They showed up without the boxes, demo stickers on them, and in perfect condition. I'm quite happy with the deal. https://www.goalzero.com/shop/open-box-product/lighthouse-core-lantern-usb-power-hub-open-box/li...

I'm starting to think someone screwed up a translation and the Maya were concerns about 2021, not 2012. I though "A New Hope" was a bad subtitle for this thread from the start. But seeing the subtitle changed just now made me laugh so hard I scared the cats. I am very much in approval of the new tit...

Word I'm getting right now is that the woman who was shot has died and was only 17 years old. I have a feeling students will be learning her name in school a century from now. In the UK it's reported she was in the Air Force for 14 years. If they've ID'd the right person, she's well into adulthood....

On NPR , one of the morning programs, Up First , covered what it means to be Black & a gun owner. It's 50 minutes, & as policital as it gets, so no direct link. I found it to be a good view & quite interesting. Thanks. It was worth my time listening to. I admit I did cringe a bit at a few moments t...

not quite a necro, but ran across this article - thought it worth posting to this thread. https://www.lowtechmagazine.com/2011/12/the-chinese-wheelbarrow.html well written piece on the foundational technology - the Chinese wheelbarrow. This is awesome! Thanks for posting this. I've never seen this ...

Looks like authorities are finally trying to make a stand in Portland.

Last week a got a hand-me-down Nikon 1.5 to 6 power scope with retical markings for 300BO (not sure what grain). I mounted it today on my 300BO carbine. I didn't get out to the range, but I really like the clarity of the scope.

Just watched southernprepper1's latest videos about prisoner handling. I'm not quite sure of what to make of them. I'm not going to post the links - they are questionable here. I guess I'm asking folk to view & comment here. It's a little far-out for me, but meebee it could happen. Thanks. I wouldn...
