    Sig Sauer KILO3K battery draw - what the heck???

    In the late fall I bought a Sig KILO 3K. I've owned a fair number of range finders (couple Nikons, Bushnell, and a couple Sigs) and bought the Sig KILO 3K to replace a Sig KILO 2000 (that I really liked) that the auto brightness on the display crapped out at 5 years and a couple months. This...

    High BTU 2 burner cookers....

    I'm running myself in circles trying to find something that fits my wants... I'm looking for a simple 2 burner cooker to put on the porch... It will get used for getting cast irons smoking hot for searing, for deep frying, for canning, for wok use. I currently use a single 50-60K BTU bayou...

    Tracking real estate prices...

    I'm looking to keep tabs on our local real estate market for a future sale and to keep tabs on another market for a property we own. One of the markets is really small and not many houses sell per year. Is there a good tool and index that anyone can recommend to track house prices for a zip...

    House design, what is the purpose of this design?

    We bought this house in WY last year and we are super happy with the house and lot, but there are some head scratchers that we run across from time to time. We have never had a house with a more modern design like this and wonder why it is set up this way. We didn't buy the house for the house...

    Euro mount protip....

    When you lift a simmering/boiling skull out of the pot, DON'T dump the entire brain case of hot water on your foot. Protip #2, Crocs don't offer much protection from boiling water.

    Utility trailer brands....

    I want to buy a new utility trailer since our current doesn't fit our needs anymore. I'm looking for suggestions on solid brands. I've owned a couple utility trailers and would like a solid trailer, but nothing fancy. I owned a Carry-On and it was horrible (flex with a load and flimsy overall)...

    Savage lightweight hunter stock swap...

    I have a savage lightweight hunter (model 16 - .308 Win) that I had shortened for my son, but now the rifle needs a full length stock. I currently have a second plastic savage lightweight hunter stock I got off ebay when I did the original cutting, so the plan was to put that on. I'm not...

    Car buying advice...

    We are looking at cars, the plan would be to buy new (2023 RAV4 hybrid) and to keep the current commuter car for the son (i.e., no trade). I'm seeing something I haven't seen before and wondering what it means... the local dealers have a disproportionate number of RAV4 hybrids in inventory...

    I found this adapter in my electronics box - what is it for????

    I'd assume that it was associated with outdoors stuff, since it was in the box with my travel electronics like sat phone, 18650 battery charger, rhinos, gps stuff, etc... It has what looks like a charging end and a weather resistant female USB-C, the cord is about 6 inches. Any ideas?

    Processing room countertop.

    I'm looking for suggestions for a countertop for a new processing room. This project is a couple years off and the current space is a kitchen/kitchenette for our guest suite (sounds snobby, but it is what it is), I'd like to maintain that functionality for guests, but the primary use would be...

    Bear pistol carry with a pack - what I did this year and liked...

    Like many are, I was unhappy with my options for carry for my G20 with and without a pack. I came up with a combo that I really liked this year and I wanted to share it. It worked seamlessly for archery elk and I have no plans to try anything new in the future, I'm pretty much 100% happy with...

    Been doing some processing, antelope sausage, elk burgers...

    I've been doing some processing the past couple weeks. I love seeing what everyone does, so I'll put up some pics of how I do it. I got a couple antelope this fall, so I wanted to make a big batch of antelope breakfast sausage - strong ginger-sage-garlic-black pepper. I usually make breakfast...

    Suppressor diameter and scope clearance...

    I'm looking to buy a couple rifle suppressors in the next little bit, I want them to have hearing safe-ish recoil reduction for hunting rifles (recoil reduction being primary, but I'd prefer not have a brake due to the sound increase). I don't care if they are truly hearing safe, but better than...

    machined inner of a grinder head...

    I'm looking to upgrade my #8, 1/2 horse Cabela's commercial to something in the 1 1/2 hp range. When I initially got the Cabela's years ago I was super disappointed with the speed that it ground, especially a second grind. I no longer do a second grind, and don't miss it. In my research on why...

    Chronograph upgrade or downgrade...

    I have a Magnetospeed sporter that works great for what it is. I bought it to use at busy ranges that I can't set up an optical chronograph (don't own one of those). I dislike (I guess because I'm an anal prick) the change in POI with the magnetospeed and I feel like I'm just wasting ammo...

    A dog, an elk, a couple antelope, and some birds. Part 1 of 3.

    Part 1 of three: Elk. This is my travel log from my trip earlier this fall going for elk, antelope and upland birds. I "earned" two decent tags this season, an elk and antelope, plus I was lucky enough to get an extra doe antelope tag. I had tags and lots of time and a dog. Beaver is my 2 year...

    shooting range not level...

    Is there anything to consider if you have a slightly unlevel shooting range? We are buying a new house and I think I can put in a 300 yard shooting range. In my calculations it would be in the neighborhood of 2-4 degrees off level, which seems pretty small. The difference between shooting...
