    Your brain on microplastics?

    We have a water softener at our home, but I opted not to buy the more expensive water purifier for the house. We have extra filters at the fridge and such for cooking. I drink bottled water and provide bottled water for friends and family if they ask. I made my mother throw away some she had...

    Your brain on microplastics?

    I'd have to do some digging as to how they came up with the 547 days. If it's like anything else with testing standards, I'm sure that is worst case scenario and most likely would be ok further out. Just like any other grocery item that has a best by date, you've most likely noticed a lot of...

    Your brain on microplastics?

    We test for chlorine every shift, has to be less then 0.08 ppm and is typically much lower then that (0.002 ppm). The in line sensor and the handheld have to be within +-0.04ppm. There are redundancies with all the testing which is being checked at the water farm after it's been purified by...

    Your brain on microplastics?

    I'm not sure. We store everything in the warehouse before it goes out.

    Your brain on microplastics?

    I work for the largest private water bottling company in north America. The water we bring into our plants is local tap water unless it's spring water and then it's trucked in. The specific plant I work in the water comes in somewhere around 135 ppm of particles or bacteria and after we've...

    Factory Rifle that likes 77gr TMK?

    If I had to pick between the two, then I'd pick the Ruger. The gen 2 looks nicer then the first gen, which always felt cheap to me. I've never owned one but have a few friends that do and they all seem to shoot well. I've picked up some Howa rifles and they feel cheap to me, the barrel wasn't...

    Free range south Texas axis is hard to beat and the meat is top notch

    In What Order Should I Buy Gear?

    Reliable and accurate weapon system, pack, good boots, binos and then after that it depends on how you want to hunt. If you're thinking backpack, then sleeping bag and tent. If you're truck camping then you could switch things up. The longer I hunt the less important it is to me to have the...

    Looking for some courage/advice on leaving a job for a 40k pay cut per year?

    I'm in a similar situation and about to take a pay cut (not 40k but a little) to have a life again. My boys are 9 and 5 and I've been around more for the younger one and you can tell. Kids need their Dad around. I've watched my Dad live with regret about everything he missed out on when my...

    Injured in the backcountry

    I fully ruptured the same tendon walking down a steep rocky hill. Me and a friend were running a trot line in a river in Arkansas and there was a creek at the bottom of the hill that had crawdads we were going to use for bait. Not near as cool as chasing ibex. The rocks slipped and when I...

    Varmint bullet for deer

    I had a similar experience on a hog with the same caliber and bullet. I wouldn't recommend VMax for big game hunting.

    300 win mag

    I had a Browning hells canyon long range 300 WM with the 1/8 twist. It shot the 215 or 230 bergers very well. I sold it and put together a Tikka semi custom 7PRC. Shooting it suppressed is much more enjoyable then shooting the WM was.

    Norma bondstrike

    Yeah it grouped well in my rifle today and I really like the packaging. Hopefully I'll get to use it in a couple weeks for my third season tag.

    Bear attack or homicide in Montana

    Me and my cousin were hunting in the Pecos wilderness, coming back to camp for lunch and we ran into two pretty attractive women hiking alone. We were 7 or 8 miles back with horses and mules, so it was somewhat surprising. We both looked at each other and said, "did that just really happen?"...

    Yet another grizzly attack in Montana

    That's what I was thinking. If you climb a tree and it still eats you then you know it's a black bear 🤷‍♂️

    Anyone ever flew with their frame pack as their "personal item"?

    When I had to fly all the time for work I would take a duffel for my carry on or personal item. It's fairly big, probably 36" long and I never had an issue. I've seen guys with hunting packs on planes as well. If all else fails and you get a douchebag that's going to make a thing out of it, then...
