    Anyone winter camping?

    You've been watching Television again, I can tell.

    Black powder?

    There are federal laws governing the amounts, but there are also local or state laws that can be more restrictive. I "know" blackpowder is reasonably safe, but there is no way I want to keep 10 or 20 pounds of it in my house. I just don't.

    Anyone winter camping?

    Nobody "sleeps on the ground" anymore, there are excellent insulated camping pads, these are required for any sort of cold weather. ThermaRest pretty much took over the industry for a short period in the 1980s with their self-inflating foam core air mattress. It's not often a new product takes...

    Texas Freeze!!

    Something to consider for those in the southern U.S.A. in the grip of extended subzero weather is the possibility of frozen water pipes in their homes. Housing construction is different in the far north, where more attention is paid to insulation from the cold. In warmer climates it just isn't...

    Anyone winter camping?

    Look on the bright side though, the glaciers are mostly gone and we can grow crops again. Ice ages are over rated, I think.

    Black powder?

    Worth repeating.

    Anyone winter camping?

    Well that's the key, having adequate gear. Extreme cold is deadly, no matter how tough anybody thinks they are. Although Lewis & Clark reported the Injuns in North Dakota playing a type of Lacrosse or somesuch, naked in -10 below zero temperatures. Hm. Well anyway ... with the right equipment...

    Picked up a 36

    I don't know about "best" but lighter fluid aka naphtha is safe for antiques, paint, fine wood finishes, it might work, it might not, but it can't hurt anything.

    USPS and Track of the Wolf

    Apples and aircraft carriers. If I look like Charlie Manson, and I'm dropping random boxes that tick like an alarm clock with wires hanging out, oily stains saturating the cardboard, etc off yeah, I'd expect a visit. (Well, maybe not any more these days, but at one time sure) If on the other...

    Why This Wood and Not That on 18th Century Rifles

    Location, soil quality, precipitation ,elevation etc definitely factors in the suitability or grain density and character of the wood. Aren't Burls some sort of "immune response" or somesuch by the tree to a fungus? There are some truly old growth Oaks south of me in old graveyards, and they...

    USPS and Track of the Wolf

    Well ... OK... but there is some over the top hysterical over reaction on their part. In my opinion. The good stuff isn't available too easily any more ;)

    USPS and Track of the Wolf

    Sure, but I'm going to know if I signed for something important, and especially, I'm not going to sign for something I didn't get. I especially wouldn't sign for an empty box or anything smashed up either. "Refused" - this is part of the scam, I reckon. Once you've "accepted" it, now it's your...

    USPS and Track of the Wolf

    And this is exactly my point. That isn't gonna cut it. There is a "chain of custody" as it were, when things are purchased and shipped and different carriers handle an item. It literally isn't "mine" until I take custody of it. Technically it belomgs to the carrier. What they are doing is a...

    First the ammo now the guns????

    I watched the percussion revolvers dry up almost completely last summer, maybe into the fall sometime, don't think the supply ever recovered but stopped looking anyway once it became clear everything had went sideways.

    USPS and Track of the Wolf

    Anything or anythings that cost 500 dollars needs to have some kind of adult signature requirements. They still might @&$k it up, but it sure helps to prevent that kind of thing. One thing that I don't understand has to do with commercial shipping and transport (and probably trucking) has to...

    USPS and Track of the Wolf

    It would be interesting to know what the true and accurate percentage rate of their absenteeism is. Don't misunderstand there are very fine individuals working for them, but .. there are also some very not so fine individuals drawing a paycheck, if they can take 2 weeks off (paid) because they...

    Uberti spare cylinders

    Well supply and demand has played a role in the price increase. And then there's monetary inflation. The revolver hasn't really increased in price, the value of the currency is going down. I suspect "you ain't seen nothin' yet" applies here. They are literally giving away confetti-bucks at...

    USPS and Track of the Wolf

    Heavy items need to be secured from sliding around in the box, that is definitely no bueno. Strapping tape too, is your friend. That clear stuff with the fiberglass threads is real strong.
