Re: Asking for Elmer advice on Mobile Units
What do you want to do? Do you know who you are going to be talking with? Are they geared up? Is local terrain a problem? What's your plan? I want to be able to communicate effectively with my County/Regional ARES/RACES team that I am a member of. I have prepping friends who are in the process of g...

We have been lucky so far during our outings, between snakes, dogs, torrential wind ,rain ,chest deeP snow and...

Asking for Elmer advice on Mobile Units
On limited budget, would like to have a mobile in one of my vehicles (my 4x4 pickup, not my daily driver, I carry a baefong UV5RA and a magnetic antenna in my daily) and a base unit in my house/soon to be repurposed ham shack. My idea, TYT TH9800 QuadBand: http://www.amazon.com/TYT-Transceiver-TH-98...

Re: VIRGINIA Spring-a-geddon 3-14-2014
Yeah, I have seen a Dodge Caravan and I believe it was a Prius ? The main road and camground are hard packed gravel up until the front office, then hard packed surface. The only hard road is the one going up the mountain to the range.

Yes, you can't post a pic straight to the site, you must have a proxy site, such as photobucket or similar to post pic's or change your profile pic.

Re: VIRGINIA Spring-a-geddon 3-14-2014
Hey guys, fairly new to the forums...just saw this, sounds like a pretty good time. I'll have to check my cold-weather gear, make sure it's still useable (hasn't been used in 5+ years), but I'd love to come along if y'all don't mind a newbie coming along... Also, if I saw where this Cove campground...

Re: VIRGINIA Spring-a-geddon 3-14-2014
Yea I was out there about a year ago and they had an attendant out there. Same here, they have smoothed out the grounds and cleaned up all the trash, so you don't have to worry so much about needing a Tetanus shot just to walk around. The attendant is pretty there to make sure everyone cleans up an...

Re: Used Glock 22's for $349.
Heck, there are a bunch of $319 Gen3 G22s at GT. Also, anybody that has the ability to purchase "blue line" guns (you can Doc) can get brand new Gen3 or Gen4 ones for $398.20 to $425. Yep, that's how I get my glocks (blue label),another reason to volunteer/join the Rescue Squad or FD. Plus they giv...

Re: Mossberg 930 SX shotgun advice please
I've had an 930 SPX for a little less than a year now, never have had an FTE or FTF, either with 8's all the way up to slugs. The only mods I have done to it is a mag-clamp light holder and have ordered the single sling mount. I really love the ghost ring sights and the sight mount. Been really impr...

Re: VIRGINIA Spring-a-geddon 3-14-2014
Put me down for a solid maybe. My dad's health hasn't been the best lately. I'm not sure where I'll be in a few months. I might be able to get down for a day trip at least. Hope your dad will improve and also that you will be able to join us. It's been a long time since all of us have been together.
