Fri, 14 Sep 2018 15:10:38 +0000

Your post was quite good. Glade you brought up the taste. All most all the complaints on the MSR Dromedary Bladder page was bad taste or leakage. With your high praise. And four years of use. I will look at the MSR. But there are a lot of one and two stars on their Product Reviews page. It will be a long and hard look. Thanks for the review.

Survival Cache : Big Bore Single-Action Auto Shootout, Part One

Sat, 11 Feb 2017 04:57:41 +0000

I'm a big fan of 1911! A few in 45acp. One in 9 mm and a twenty two conversion kit! Grown daughter wants one! She has a Sig-Sauer! Maybe she will slow down a bit when she only has 8 plus one! I was hoping she would go for a Glock!!! Me I have trouble with anything that's not a single stage tiger!!! One small thing in your text that I saw was wrong!! The only reason I bring it up, My father, Straighten me out about it 50 years ago! .(York and Baker both won the Medal Of Honor for their actions.) They did not win anything! They where awarded The Medal Of Honor! I know small stuff in the scheme of things! But I thought you should know!!!

Thu, 19 Jan 2017 18:45:37 +0000

No matter what others my comment, I all ways fine something I can use or think about in all of this posting/ articles! No I do not all ways agree with the author! But I enjoy reading there thoughts on the said subject! This one is no different!!! Yes! Even before the new year I was taking that deep breath. We dodged the bullet! But we are not safe!!! Those who hate us, America/ freedom! Are still out there. And they hate whom we elected even more! They will do all they can to bring him and us down!!! So for the moment, breath in that fresh air of freedom!!! As this article says, Go over everything! Check and recheck your supplies,plans! And for the future? Keep a eye on the world and domestic news! And be cautious of FAKE news!!! Be prepared! Hope for the best, plan for the worst! Just don't be paranoid about it!!! An Dr. John J. Woods, please keep writing! Thanks!!!

Survival Cache : Food Storage With Food Saver Vacuum Sealer

Fri, 26 Aug 2016 15:14:04 +0000

I have a Zip-Loc saver! Just under $70.00 I did not go hog wild sealing everything in sight! But I did do money! I could lie and tell you how great it is to seal up 10,000 dollars in twenty's! But I have sealed up packs of 100 dollars in ones. Boy do they take up less space!!! If the self life that the manufacture says his product is good for is half! That still damn good! I have a small block of cheese in the meat draw that I sealed on Feb 2014! No green growth. Looks OK!! Maybe 2017 we will open it, Maybe!!! I have had poor luck with using other manufactures bags! Did not want to seal right! May just be me or my machine! When this one burns up, I will get another one! Maybe pay a little more too!!!

Survival Cache : Best Handgun Calibers For Survival

Wed, 4 Nov 2015 17:45:54 +0000

Great atrial. My understanding is some military units are going to carry JHP in their 9mm. In none WAR combat. No uniform on the bad guys side, not a war. This I feel will help the 9mm perform up to it potential. IMHO. No I do not carry a 9mm. I have been a 45acp shooter for over 45 years. For me, picking out your wife's handgun for self defense! Would be like picking out a pair of dress shoe's for her to ware. Don't think that is going to happen! Not with any success!!! If you can get beyond stereotype of what you think you need. Move onto what will work for you! Then time is your main enemy. I have hunted Gun Shop and Gun Shows for months/years look for that GUN!!! That I wanted and at the price I was willing to pay. Some do not have that capability! This will do! This is in my price range! I would like a larger caliber, but..... So if it does not sound like it, sorry. But I do agree with you! Hope you do an atrial on revolver/autos. That I like to read. Thanks!

Survival Cache : Survival Debate: Pocket Carry vs. Concealed Carry

Fri, 9 Oct 2015 13:57:21 +0000

I believe carrying a gun is suppose to be comforting not necessarily comfortable! If you are confident with a 380 in your pocket go for it! As Serenabit said: First rule of a gun fight, have a gun! In hot weather, I down size to a Charter Arms 44spl Bull Dog. I carry it in an IWB With two plus reloads! In colder weather I lean to a 45acp. Either a Colt or my Para 14. With either carry, I carry two extra mags! In my younger years when licenses where not heard of. I may of slip a small auto into my back pocket! And as thing get a bit more chaotic. I have thought of carrying a small revolver in a coat pocket. Would use to give me time to get to my full size gun if needed! (Cold weather only) Maybe I miss it. I know this article was not about extra ammo. The ones who carry a 380acp. Do you carry a spare mag?

Survival Cache : Survival Gear Review: Grid-It by Cocoon

Sun, 20 Apr 2014 19:56:00 +0000

I'm very unorganized! Saying that, this looks like it would help. If your one of the Large city dwellers/ work in one/ these could slide right into a non- tactical back pack! I watch the 27 sec video on You-tube (also on their home page). The straps look really tight. How long they stay that way only time will tell. And Doc Woods I am with you on being happy to Bug-In (wish I had a better location) At my age and health the Bug is definitely out. (Unless the body count is to high to keep up on burail) Like your artical! Very informative! Please keep it up!!!

Survival Cache : Survival Without Firearms: Ultimate Expert Guide

Fri, 1 Feb 2013 03:28:15 +0000

Rule one: All Ways have a knife Rule two: All ways have a knife I am not a knife fighter or blade expert. But I have carred a knife longer then I have been carring a firearm! My job does not allow me to even have a gun in the car. But I still have my knife When I went to Canada, no gun again. (My Ka-Bar was with me!) No! As the auther said I hope never to bring a knife to a gun fight! IMPROVISE! Should be a preppers creed. Good article! Thanks!

Survival Cache : Where is David Earl Burgert?

Mon, 14 May 2012 03:04:31 +0000

You say you do not think he is dead. I think you said it was early spring. He had at lease a handgun,45acp,44 mag,or a 22. It was not 500mag right? So how hungry is a wakening Grizzly Bear? Just what kind of mood are they in, waking up and Hungry? We will say he shot the bear, Now the bear is all of the above, as well as being pissed off. This is not counting, if the bear had any cubs! So how much of David Earl Burgert would you fine? Last question: Just what is the reward for fining David Earl Burgert ? Bear dead or alive!

Survival Cache : Survival Gear Review: Henry US Survival AR-7 Rifle

Fri, 12 Aug 2011 03:41:27 +0000

I hope this is OK, to post: l ike your artical, as well as the AR-7 rifle. I just read another article by Holt Bodinson. He had a little more history of where the rifle came from. He says that like most rimfires, it has adistinct tast in ammunition. Feed it high speed, roundnose,Long Rifle. The two best performing brands in his Charter Arems AR-7 are Winchester Super X solid, roundnose and Winchester Dynapoint. He felt that the Dynapoint performed very much like a full blown Hollowpoint, out of his AR-7, on small game. He also found that the bolt and firing pin need lubrication. He and the AR-7 liked Teflon-carrying RemOil. Make sure your keep that barrel nut tight. This little rifle, even through,it has been made by a number of manufactures. Most of the majorparts are readily interchangeable. I only hit some of the high points. If I miss understood what Mr Bodinson wrote. I'm sorry! If you would like to read this article, you can at www.gunsmagazine.com. I think you will fine that Mr Bodinson all in all. Like this nice package! As I can see by the other post!
