      SHTF Test

      I live near one of the areas hit by the tornados Thursday night. Near enough that we were without power for about 24 hours, and I don't know when I've heard so many sirens in all directions. We were very lucky to have no damage at our place, we just lost power, internet, and even cell service...

      Adventures in sighting in my new in-line muzzleloader.

      After many years deer hunting with my 1985 TC Hawken, I had decided this year to get an in-line muzzleloader. I mostly wanted a rifle with a scope, and it always seemed sacrilegious to mount one on my old TC. I decided on a CVA Optima that came with a scope on it. I figured it would also be...

      First Appalachian Trail Section Hike

      My daughter and I are planning to hike a section of the AT, in the Pearisburg Va area in early September. The plan is to drive to a hostel, leave the car there, and get a shuttle to take us 50 or so miles south, so we can hike back to the hostel and the car. I've been trying to get out several...

      Spare mags and M&Ms don't mix.

      I went back packing in the Deam Wilderness this past weekend. As usual, I carried my Shield 9mm in one of the pack side pockets, and the spare mag in the belt pouch. I also had a zip-lock bag with peanut m&ms in the same pouch. It was wicked-hot Friday and early Saturday, and then the sky...

      Hanging a bear bag

      Going on my first backpacking trip into black bear country this weekend, in Red River Gorge, in Ky. We know we'll have to hang our food and food-smelling stuff in a bear bag when we camp, but I've never had to do it before. I've seen a bunch of Youtube videos, and the actual hanging of the bag...

      This rain is taking a toll on my garden

      I planted almost two hundred onions, the good storing kind, but the tops are all laying over from being too wet. And, that's in a raised bed. My tomatoes are starting to show blight already, my green beans have lots of yellow leaves, and some of the potatoes are starting to look stressed...

      PEX Plumbing Job

      My project this long weekend is a total re-plumb of my inlaws house. It's something I've been putting off for years, but I think there's a small leak in part of the old galvanized iron pipe, so I'm going to get it done while I have the time off to do it. I'm going to install PEX pipe with a...

      "Trapping" Honey bees.

      I've kept bees for most of the last 25 years, but a couple of years ago, during that really bad winter, I lost both my colonies. The following spring I built what's called a bait-hive. The bait-hive is different from a regular hive, since a swarm of bees will very rarely enter a regular hive...

      Vacuum Sealer Machine Feedback

      Quite a few years ago, we got a Deni 1831 Freshlock vacuum food sealer machine. I remember getting it out when we first got it and my wife and I got a folded dishtowel out of the drawer and vac-sealed it in a bag. I remember that it seemed like the bags were thinner plastic than I thought...

      Do you keep spare parts for your guns?

      I've never kept spare parts for my guns, other than when I keep original parts when I add upgrades, or when I get two of something when I only needed the one. Now I'm going to make an effort to determine what I need for each of my most important guns and get some stuff ordered. Springs seems...

      Lee powder funnel/case expander fits very tight on .38 Spl

      I'm relatively new to reloading. I got my Dillon 550 early last spring with 9mm dies and I've been loading and learning over the summer. I've had a really good time, and didn't run into any problems with 9mm. But, I recently got a set of Lee .38 Spl dies and this past Saturday, my son and I...

      Range Brass

      I shoot at a public range, and I've always saved my brass, along with whatever else is laying around my bench. Now that I'm reloading, and going through it more thoroughly, it's been kind of fun to see what turns up. I have a container for "Misc" and I get the odd .38 Super Auto, .45 GAP, and...

      Why doesn't our government want us to share garden seeds?

      Our government has a vested interest in preventing Americans from becoming TOO self-sufficient. I guess when gardening was only a hobby, it was OK, but now that more and more people are growing their own food, and more and more people are making a bit of money selling locally grown food, NOW...

      Shotgun shells getting gummed up from a leather shell-holder

      OK, a couple of years ago I decided to take my dad's old Remington 870 and cut the barrel down for a home-defense weapon. When I was done, I took some leather and made a cover for the buttstock that had 5 leather loops on the side opposite the cheek-piece. I've shot it a couple of times, but...

      Mini 14 Questions

      I recently bought a new Ruger Mini 14 and finally got it out to the range to shoot this past weekend. I was using the stock 5 round mags that came with the gun and the first two mags were loaded with .223 and the gun functioned fine with those first ten shots. Then, I switched to American...

      Bushnell Banner Scope Question

      I picked up an old Bushnell Banner 3-9 X 40 scope along with a rifle yesterday. I really just wanted the rifle and the scope wasn't attached, and I didn't really check it out as thoroughly as I should have. When I did, later at home, I could see that the cross-hairs are not at the normal...
