      EMP projects

      I"m curious about solar panel systems and if anyone thinks they will be affected by an EMP. Not the panels themselves, but the inverter/charger and other components that actually make the power useable. Would this equipment be affected? If so, does that mean off-grid folks that think they are...

      Soured on Sigs

      One of the decisions their "new" CEO made starting in 05 or 06 was a move towards Metal Injection Molding (MIM) many of their metal parts. He did the same thing at Kimber. It is less expensive to produce metal parts this way, and it's purely a cost saving move. AND it's an inferior process...

      age to buy .22lr ammo...

      I just raised my shirt enough for her to see part of my Sig. She said "Cool" and giggled. At least you were carrying a Sig!

      Book Recommendations Please????

      I'll second the vote on "Lucifer's Hammer" and I'll also add "Alas, Babylon". Both are in the same vein as those you already read, so you should enjoy these too.

      need help with chickens please

      We've had egg-layers for several years (Rhode Island Reds, Silver Laced and Golden Laced Wyandottes). Any of the breeds already listed would do well here in Indiana. Make sure you go with breeds that are cold weather tolerant. Pay very close attention to the coop, making sure it is secure, or...

      True Grit

      Both are worth watching, and I enjoyed both. I like the new one better, but I didn't like the ending either. That's my only complaint. I'm a huge John Wayne fan, but Jeff Bridges was great in this role. I hope he wins Best Actor for this!

      What exactly are you "prepping" for??

      Many good comments by lots of folks. I have a question though... "Dredd, have you learned anything, or at least received a satisfactory answer to your question?" I'd like to hear from you again.

      Least expensive source for .22lr subsonic?

      Check out Midway. I've bought bulk ammo from them many times, to include .22LR subsonic.

      Same Scam - Different Decade

      And the day after the election (today), the FED announced a plan to buy $600 billion in US bonds over the next 6 months. No change, just more debt. There is nothing new other than a few new faces in DC. When they arrive, my bet is that they'll be "told" how things work there.

      Pump Action .22

      I'm looking for a pump action .22 rifle and would like some recommendations. I've never owned a pump action .22, so I don't know what to look for. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.

      Auto Start Whole House Generators?

      I have a Generac 25kw standby generator that runs on NG. The Cummins / Onan were way too expensive. Another brand to consider is Kohler. They have great reviews, but were hard to find locally. We went with the Generac because of price and availability of both the genset and the...
