Minor thing, but I snagged a Carhartt fleece shirt-jacket and a lightweight balaclava at Academy. Jacket was 65% off (woo!), so about $30 out the door. Balaclava was full price, but only $15 anyway. It doesn't get terribly cold down here, so I think the two will cover anything I'm likely to run into...

Really gotta buckle down and get this place sold.

Nice (efficient) house, good price (and I could probably keep it up at barely above minimum wage), but if the bottom falls out it's just a boat anchor to economic mobility.

Everything is going viral globally.

Especially viruses? :\

I have to admit the new PSA Glock-alike is actually pretty interesting. I'll have to keep an eye on those, once they get into the public's hands.

And, you know, ignore the inevitable "It can't be good, it costs less than the original Glock".

Henry Repeating Arms announced five new long guns as the company unveiled its X Model series. First teased at the 2018 NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits, these new guns are a complete, ground-up redesign of the lever-action. The five new guns are the: - Lever Action X Model .45-70 - Lever Action X Mod...

Their AR's get poo-poo'd by various higher dollar operators. But for the general public they are the go to supplier. And most of the reviews I've read or watched say they are good guns. I didn't say great - but good. And somethings "good" is good enough. :) I've got one--at least an upper--as an "e...

Lastly, I can read a thread a lot faster than I can watch a long ass video. I'll watch if they are the only game in town. But I'd much rather read a well vetted thread on any given subject on a forum. As I can glean the information I want quickly. And don't have to sit thru a given length video to ...

bump for fun and any new folks not having gone thru the history files.

Photobucket really f'd the internet up. Does anyone know their story?

They want more money. In order to link to photos, you now have to pay for a several-hundred-dollar a year account.

NRA American Hunter - First Look: Magpul PC Backpacker Stock for Ruger PC Carbine Magpul has released the PC Backpacker Stock, designed specifically for, and drop in compatible with, 9 mm Luger and .40 S&W models of the Ruger PC Carbine. With a similar look and function to the X-22 Backpacker stock...

This is an excellent thread. If you could update your first post with your current system. That would be great. IIRC it's evolved over time. This thread is an excellent read. I'll be referring back to it myself often. Yes, this is a "must-read" thread. Isn't there some sort of place we can leave pa...

I think trail blazes (at least for the US, other countries I believe have their own systems) would also be useful. (Phpbb doesn't seem to speak SVG, so I can't post directly.) More fantastically, I think Fallout 4 railsign could be adapted usefully, with an internal icon indicating the "signal" and ...

Hydration system compatable and has an adjustable shoulder har...

Minor thing, but I saved myself a few hundred bucks clearing a clogged kitchen sink. Twice, kinda. It'd back up after several minutes of water running (or a load of dishes), so it was a good bit down the pipe. I augered it out, then dumped a chemical cleaner to...well, clean things up, break up the ...

A "Lucky Dumbass" thread would work for me as well, Raptor. :lol: We could use it as a sort of 'what not to do in *insert situation type* ' lesson thread. I think you have a point, that a body of "how not to survive" info might be useful. Maybe a "Survival by accident" forum, so there's a direct an...

With the wife and I planning on living out of a travel trailer for up to a few months in the near future while or new place gets delivered and setup (and while we move cross country), having a good working laptop is an important prep item for me. My regular PC will be packed away in its Pelican shi...

Do the presentations in public with the press and media invited (open bar will get them there the first few times we award it). Get ZS mentioned on the evening news a few times and we'd probably pick up quite a few new members. Maybe just some zombie-head shaped challenge coins? They could have som...

Black Wolverine safety-toed leather boots. I got 'em on sale at Academy about a year and a half ago. The toe cap is a bit narrow, but otherwise they're great boots. I've been a fan of boots or high-tops for anything other than plain flat walking (e.g. urban) since I was young, I think because my ank...

Ordered a 2 1/2 gallon gravity water purification system. Picking up a new rifle tomorrow.

If you wouldn't mind, we'd love for you to stop by the Introductions forum, and let us know a bit about yourself.

It's kind of a local thing I think, but you can get a Savage Axis (II), with bore-sighted decent glass, from Academy sporting goods for like $350. My go-to recommendations for new shooters who want to step up from .22 is one of those in .243 Winchester. Solid, complete, but inexpensive gun. Flat-sho...

I'll see if I can just clone this C drive in addition to my backups. I think I have a NIB drive around here. I used to do that, using ImageX, then found that new install day is just a good way to keep my drive clean-ish. The data's backed up, so I just download an up-to-date offline installer occas...
