    .223 for bear, deer, elk and moose.

    Well I read most of this thread last year but I didn't take notes and I don't quite feel like rereading it. I am considering dipping my toes in the .223 hunting world for whitetail this year. When my dad was in his hunting years, he took more than one blacktail with his Mini-14, so aside from...

    Marlin 444S Recoil Pad Question

    Borrowing my Dad's 444S for a bit to see if I like it. Not necessarily for hunting, more for a little fun at the range and to have around the property for bear defense. Mostly black bears here, but the warden told me of a grizzly that took out some goats just down the hill from us a few years...

    Woodworkers

    I have a Bosch table saw with a Rosseau extension table and a Dewalt corded 10" chopper. Used the hell out of them for the last decade for everything from framing to building cabinets (all non-professional personal jobs ) with lots of oddball hobby jobs in the mix like making a 2x72 belt grinder...

    Have you ever had one of those days...............years?

    I refuse to make checklists because it would open the "checklist paradox", since I would need a checklist to remind myself to make a checklist. I don't want to be responsible for tears in the temporal fabric.

    Someone lose their Swaros in CO

    Sounds like you had good luck if he never got back to you.

    water line question

    My opinion: No need for PVC, frost line considerations, etc. since this is not a pressure line. As long as you don't have low spots that will remain filled with water over winter, it doesn't matter if it freezes. You are diverting drainage from one area to another. Drainage pipes rarely have the...

    Drive through Yellowstone

    Yellowstone....beautiful but so frustrating. We were doing a NP trip a few years back, trying to camp in the parks rather than somewhere out in the NF. We hit Glacier for one day and were able to camp in the CG on the east side of the park. Headed south, planning on Yellowstone. We stayed at a...

    What Scope Rings are you all using

    Cerakote will absolutely change tolerances. They sell all sorts of silicon plugs to keep overspray out of areas that cannot tolerate a change. I was messing around with it a while back and coated a 10/22 receiver without plugging the pin holes. I had to gently ream them out to get the pins to go...

    Are any "waterproof" boots/hikers truly waterproof?

    I have been working a theory about waterproof boots for the last few years, but I have never heard it mentioned anywhere, so maybe I'm wrong, although I think it is sound. For years I worked and recreated in modern style liner boots and they always seemed to fail at some point fairly early in...

    What are you listening to now?

    Did you know that is a re-recording of the first Sepultura album from 1986?

    When do you own the area?

    I'm always mystified when I find a firepit on the side of a forest road. As in, on the gravel and in a spot where they had to park on the actual road to camp there. What kind of maniac does this? Does the road offer some sort of protection from the dark spirits of the woods?

    Finishing cargo trailer interior

    You have to look at posts in chronological order, my friend. All that was here when I started writing the post was that he wanted to make the inside nice and he asked which products he should use to finish the floors and walls.

    Finishing cargo trailer interior

    Food for thought: Cargo trailers are designed to protect the inside from the weather and dust with minimal aesthetics and no insulation. The framing is not designed to provide a base to mount insulated and aesthetic interior cladding to. You can certainly do it by doing a van life hackjob and...

    WaterPROOF and not as heavy as Hardscrabbles ??

    Waterproof boots use a membrane sock to waterproof. This membrane always wears out, there isn't one that lasts forever. Waterproof is temporary.
