Re: Keeping Busy, Isolation/lockdown projects
I gave my axes a boiled linseed oil coating whether they needed it or not. I did a little yard work, though there wasn't much to do. I need to put in a couple of braces on the patio bench I built when I realized there's some fore and aft flex. May do that later today. I have some motorcycle work to ...

Re: What WILL you do with that stimulus check?
Some of what I will get will be donated to a friend to pay for his monthly chemotherapy treatments. I already give what I can, so this will help him. Some will donate to at least one fund of a local business to help pay rent and employees' paychecks. A little may go to pay debt. Maybe I'll spend $1...

Re: Woods Walker in Memorium
I also saw this news recently on BCUSA. So sad to hear, and one of my favorite YT channels.
Kevin will be sorely missed among us. I hope his friends and family remember his smile and company fondly and realize how many people he inspired and befriended.

250 rounds of Remington FMJ 9mm. Just because someone was selling it for 14 cents per round.

Re: What's your favorite non-prep prep item?
Totally non-prep, but I have books. Lots of books. I rarely ever go anywhere without a book.
To me, it's actually an essential survival item--for my brain.

Re: What have you bought in the last 48 hours?(firearms related)
I was a bad monkey this weekend.
I now own (what is most likely) a police trade-in Sig Sauer P226 in .40 S&W that's in some pretty fine shape. And which I got for a pretty good deal.

Re: Hello everybody, I am from Colorado
Welcome from Virginia, formerly Colorado. Love that state--so many things to do, many of which require no participation of other humans.
Though I do miss the foodie culture of the Denver/Boulder area. And the oodles of live music.

Re: Propane Pre-Shortage Notice - CO
It is a good prep ro have some form of alternate heating. I suspect most of these rural users have a decent plan b. Very good clarification of the issue, raptor. Though unfortunately, excepting wool sweaters, propane heat is the only option for a lot of rural areas in Colorado. While most places ha...

Re: Articles of Interest at the "American Partisan" site
Yes, but the Lourdes site has little (nothing) to do with nuclear or military weaponry. That's more why I was asking what the significance was on this. I suppose if the 'active jamming' report is accurate, then maybe there's some significance for US defensive activities, but... Appreciate the respon...

Re: Recommendation for lightweight breatheable rainjacket
I just got this generic bicycling rain jacket from Amazon. It seems relatively sturdy and a reasonable fit. I'm 6'2" and ~230 and i have some extra space. The arms are elasticized and the bottom and hood have cinches. Since it's not a full zip, bigger folks may have an issue getting arms into it and...
