    Coffee

    Not true " Unlike the flavor, aroma, and color of coffee beans, the caffeine content doesn’t concentrate or increase during roasting. In fact, darker roasts generally have slightly less caffeine than their lighter counterparts." Link= Is Dark Roast Coffee Stronger? Caffeine Content and More

    Coffee

    A lot of people do hence the popularity of Starbucks. I prefer a light roast --- flavor is more complex and, it has more caffeine. The more the roast the less the caffeine content

    The Future of Traditional Muzzleloaders?

    Ditto. Dan'l Boone and Jeremiah Johnson.... My son is interested (33) and wants to extend his hunting options...but I kinda think he thinks there's too much busy work with front stuffers in terms of equipment, steps to follow, and the headache of cleaning when compared to more modern...

    Best Moose Milk

    I see that when I travel. In Michigan, the State sets prices. The last bottle I bought was $65 and change. Hard to find though...I have always liked BT and also 4 Roses.

    Best Moose Milk

    Appreciate ALL your answers. I guess my 50 BPML shooters/Moose Milk recipes ratio was a bit on the short side...But I thank you all-- for the advice, wisdom, and humor... In the end I will try both Pineso and Murphy's and see which hides the puke smell of Ballistrol the best!!! I like JB...

    Best Moose Milk

    I gather if there are 50 BPML shooters in a room there would be 75+ recipes for 'Moose Milk'. I have looked over/thru a bunch of them and pretty much have my formula/mix finished. The one thing I have not yet decided upon is whether to add Pinesol or Murphy's Oil soap... Any suggestions one...

    Thanksgiving Traditions That People Don't Understand

    There isn't meat in mince meat anymore when bought at store. Originally had meat. Had a co-worker whose wife made her own mincemeat with venison. She would use it to make venison mincemeat filled cookies. They looked like little pasty's/small hand pies and they were awesome!! He always...

    Crisco over the chambers, pros and cons

    Craft/hobby stores -- Michael's, Hobby Lobby, etc. Any candle making shop. There a couple of apiaries here that sell bee products at the Farmers market and have said they will sell beeswax - cheaper if it's 'dirty' (needs to be melted and filtered) .. Got my last pound at Hobby Lobby for...

    Hanging deer with hide on.

    Grew up in Upper Minnesota and they all hung for several days to age the meat -- usually 5-7 -- with a couple of sticks to keep chest and abdominal cavity open (like cross braces) Course that was in the 60's & 70's and it was cooler/colder then. The 70's were sometimes referred to as a mini-ice...

    Barrel Rust

    Just looking for some kind of census...After cleaning and not necessarily for long term storage are many/any/some of the members here using CLP?
