I did end up moving to Idaho

Where at? The wife is from Lewiston and we'll be moving up there within the next year.

And as an update to my update...doesn't look like the geography problem can be overcome by more power. After stationing my son in the athletic field, I tried to reach him from the far end of the neighborhood, no dice. So short of setting up some kind of neighborhood repeater (not gonna happen), it ...

Go on eBay and get some rechargeable 16340 batteries and a good charger, such as a Nitecore D4 and you'll be good to go. Seriously, it's the least expensive option in the long run because Li-ion 16340 batteries can be recharged thousands of times and hold their charge quite a long time.

That PSA 9mm is sick! Also, I'm trying to sell a bunch of my firearms collection to downsize. If anyone is in the Pittsburgh area, and wants some toys, let me know. I will probably consider shipping as well to a trusted ZS member. I'm not that far from you and know a good FFL I can count on. Shoot ...

I wanted to like the new Titans. 2 bad personal experiences make me hate them that has nothing to do with anything. 1. Listening to the head designer on a video talk about his inspiration for the truck. It was annoying. 2. A tiny little pathetic man who drove a lifted yellow Cummins model was taunt...

What's the deal with glow in the dark paracord? I'm all about camo. But after watching that episode of "Alone" where the guy loses his ferro rod. And has to be evacuated because of it. I want to put some bright green glow in the dark paracord on my ferro rods. I found some 9 strand on ebay. I don't...

Be aware, many VOMs with battery settings don't actually put a load on the battery, they just have actual setting stops on the dial that give appropriate voltage scales for popular battery types. I have one of those units in fact and it regularly gives a green light to batteries that my old reliable...

Did you end up building the house using corrugated metal? I've been given a whole bunch of sheet metal, and I own 7 acres in the Texas Hill Country. I love the look of the cabin in the photo! I would love to learn from your experience! :awesome: I approved your post but I would like to point out to...

NEW: Palmetto State Armory PSA 9mm AKV "Coming this fall from Palmetto State Armory: the PSA 9mm AKV, an American-made 9x19mm Parabellum Vityaz. The Vityaz is a Russian AK design based on the AK-74. For the AK lovers among us this should be a serious hit.... The PSA 9mm AKV will feature a variety o...

...short of setting up some kind of neighborhood repeater (not gonna happen), it looks like we don't get neighborhood-wide radio comms.

Have you considered contacting a commercial radio leasing service and see what solutions they can offer?

I don't think that's what he has in mind at all. It doesn't matter if the laws are unenforceable. The law against murder, rape and theft are unenforceable and can only be applied after the fact. I think what he attempted to prove and have upheld by the judicial branch ruling is that home building a...

Measured voltage on batteries is usually done under a slight load (I forget exactly how much) so just sticking a VM on them will usually return a higher voltage reading than what's on the label. For probably more information than you'll ever need the greatest source in my known universe for battery ...

Actually I misspelled the email address zsaltemail@gmail.com :oops: Thanks for asking the question of how I got that email address. I registered at the site also. Thank you Moab! BTW the other rally point is altemail@gmail.com the account name shows up as brian lee...not me but it works. :D Thanks ...

IMHO, educating the public about legal home builds is more likely to turn around and bite the build community on the ass than benefit it. The further out of the public eye such things are kept, the better. All educating the public is going to do is bring it to the attention of those working to restr...

The main ZS page and storefront are also undergoing upgrades. Those take a little more time to do though and it's going to be slow since the folks doing it also have full-time jobs and regular lives that demand a lot of their valuable time. They will get done though, and be a lot more secure for our...

18650 replaces two cr123 in series. Not exactly. CR123 batteries are 3 volts (3.7v for some rechargeables) and 18650s are 3.7 volts. Two CR123 batteries in series are 6v (7.4 for rechargeables). In the case of most LED lights the voltage drop won't matter because there's a voltage regulator built i...

This is a timely topic. I use the Energizer brand cr-123 due to all the counterfeiting of the batteries. They are damned expensive especially since these days AA lights can put out similar or better lumens. I bought mine from Amazon but as noted fakes abound. I have only a few lights and layers tha...

How do you know? Amazon sources from a few different dealers.

edit: Nevermind. I just read the reviews.

Slightly related to the topic: are there any decent free antiviruses out there these days? I haven't done my research in a while, and I think one of my computers might be relying on Windows at the moment. :shock: I use Webroot these days. It's not free but you can currently get it as a Prime Day De...

You thread drifters ought to be ashamed of yourselves We're chatting about firearms, aren't we? :mrgreen: Oh I know. I just didn't really have anything to add and one of the things on my bucket list was to accuse someone else of thread drifting . So nothing but win for me. We could turn it into a l...

Those are the Fire Marshall's rules and we always follow the law.

If you're dead though does the law really apply to you?
