Hasn't been "field tested " but - i picked up a couple early kindle readers. Pre wifi etc. And loaded several hundred pdfs and manuals on them along with a few kids books in addition to pdf scans of pertinent personal docs. With a AA to usb micro adapter and a handful of Duracell quantums it charges...

There is always a certain prejudice for overestimating what we know. People will reccomend what they have or what they know - it's human nature. I have studied judo, savate, tkd, krav and akido - studied but not mastered. I started training in martial arts after I had to give up boxing (a dozen pins...

For the guns, fedex them to yourself.

I stick a good variety of powders, with different loads for different firearms even within the same caliber. That being said, I stick a few powders deep - Varget being the main. While it's not the best at any one thing (except my PRS 308...1k yards near moa) it seems to have an exceptionally wide ap...

Many powder manufacturers will attach short lists of recommendations to their products. However a complete list such as you mentioned would be very difficult.
Add that many powders are capable of being used in calibers far outside of their ideal range and you have a true rats nest.

Unfortunately (for my belt) I tend to carry a bit more ID than most. One wallet for professional credentials (a dozen or so) one wallet for transactions DL etc, volly department ID on lanyard (usually between under shirt and polo), day-job shield and ID on belt opposite holster, radio (with nameplat...

My son is MHMR and non-verbal. He carries a card on him with a brief description of his needs one side and 6 contacts on the other. I have looked into a tattoo ID in the past, but my concern is information changing. I've had the same cell # for 8 years but before that I went through several. For now...

Nice little piece of history. Like many, I'm a gear junkie, unlike many of those - I am very hard on gear, I use it and abuse it. I've got a drawer full of briken multi-tools of all brands and qualities. Leatherman tools typically tend to last longer and take more punishment, while I've heard that t...

3 pages and not a single ciener 22 conversion kit or trunk monkey?
Man, this place has gotten tame.

History repeats. I've got a few hundred Billion (yes with a B) dollars in collapse era (2008) Zimbabwean dollars in a drawer. At that time I think the 50 billion notes were converting at a little over a u.s. quarter. I initially picked up a few trillion- shipping was far more than the total exchange...

I am very much in the roll your own camp. I'm not the best record keeper (my load data would give an IRS accountant priapism, counts not so much) but I am can honestly say I've loaded well into the 6 figures rounds. While you can often find common caliber ammunition in general purpose bulk forms for...

Emergency alert system national text message test tomorrow,

We have very specific protocols for flood rescue. It's been a few years since our last major event, and hopefully years to go. Rapid decontamination is critical after urban water rescue, there is some seriously nasty stuff out there - it drives me nuts that parents will let kids play in standing flo...

Remlin lever action 30-30 from a guy down the street, not a gun guy - he bought it new last year and it's been in the box ever since.
Now he needs parts for his truck - so thank you ford motor company for my new 100 dollar rifle. Please keep breaking.

When I was doing maintenance full time I had pretty much every 18v tool dewalt made, before the 20v lithium came out. When I moved to welding I kept using them, until I got stuck on a job in Midland and ended up hanging sheet instead of welding. One of the guys on the crew had this tiny red impact a...

I've used a lot of oxygen lances, you can pretty much blow through anything with one. A few seconds of thermite bar might be handy in a very few narrow situations but seems more gimmick than practical tool. If you want a heavy rescue tool for manipulating molten metal- look into a petroGen torch. No...

I have switched to 2 and 3 litre soda bottles, not so much for the water prep ( I've got multiple redundancies) but for the freezer itself. First, more thermal mass helps maintain temps in a no power situation and secondly, saves power by reducing cycle time. Empty space does not maintain well - kee...

I like the idea of a rally point, I can't begin to count the posts/pages I have Saved from here for future/offline reference. Something like http://zsrp.boards.net might work.

Quality trigger, bed and float and throw away the deresonator. Unfortunately Remington has tarnished their reputation in the last several years - it has become hit or miss, pun intended, to get one that will really shoot. This of course depends on you standards. 1 moa is sufficient for most hunting ...

Welcome from central Texas.
I guess we can still call austin part of Texas, at least until the new maps come out - but y'all are seriously weird.

Large empty field, heavy tracked dozer (high track d8 for bonus classic style points.
Chain drive handles to hard left/right turn, wire throttle, hop off.
It makes a nice wide circular path for AS long as the diesel lasts.... zed won't do more than grease the tracks

PLEASE for the love of all that is holy, don't use brasso - or most any other commercial brass cleaner. Brasso gets its shine because it uses ammonia to literally eat away the oxidation layer....and a bit of the brass underneath. If you want to hand polish, I would suggest NevR Dull from eagle one. ...

:words: I mostly use a straight razor, while keeping a gotee just to reduce mowing real estate. From dollar store single blades to mach 17 with powered whatzit and afterburners - I have yet to find a disposable or cartridge that will get me more than 5 or 6 shaves and frequently less. I have a very ...

Here in central Texas, the biggest problem is the "methican American" tribe. Still a few big cats but they're more likely to run when approached. Javalina and wild boar can ruin your day in a hurry.
