    We ran out of time and had to freeze meat and butcher at home

    Some smart folks will tell you every time you freeze meat that ice crystal rupture cells and that pink juice in the butcher pack is myoglobin and cytoplasm or some such. The point being, refreshing can “dry out” meat and break it down. having said that, I do it when I have to and havenet...

    New Sig MCX - Regulator Ranch Rifle

    Hmmmm…as a former resident of two commie states, I don’t mind it. Lots of folks out there in those states that mod ARs or go with mini 14s or m14s for their “ranch” guns. I don’t like the looks, but I can appreciate the purpose.

    SSH Ruger Mk 4 experiences

    Hmmm…$15 arrow vs $1000 gun / optic / can. Yep. Makes sense. You can’t argue with that Rokslide math.

    First Lite vs Kuiu Rain Gear

    My FL rain gear is a couple of generations old but it was something of a disaster. Tore very easily and didn’t breath well. In fairness to them, they do some things very well and have probably made some progress on their rain gear in the last +5 years but I wouldn’t spend a few hundred $$$...

    Places near Wilmington

    We really enjoy Atlantic beach and Emerald beach. Emerald is a little gem. Really off the radar for most people. Low key. Clean and fairly quiet. beaches are as nice as any in the area. We rented boats for fishing and sharks tooth hunting. Both were a blast.

    What do you want from your woman?

    Dave Chappelle kind of nailed it in killing them softly. He proved it doesn’t take a lot to make men happy. i won’t mention the first two items on the list, but the last two are make him a sandwich and don’t talk so much.

    Questions for the custom Glock guys

    what do you consider expensive? The shadow foundation series is close to glock pricing. About $670 list Vs MOSg glocks at $625 or so. I don’t know how much their frame are but I imagine they aren’t ~$100 like some cheap ones. I have few MR and DR combat 920s. Good guns. they have...

    2024 Mystery Ranch Hunting Packs

    Welcome. I don’t think you will notice much difference between a 45 and 50 liter pack. a lot depends on what you carry. I hike with some ultra light weenies. I have done 6 nights in a 60L pack But that was without a bunch of hunting gear. For me, I am pretty comfortable for 1-2...

    Gear Storage Ideas

    Agree that totes are the way to go. After killing a few rubber made and Walmart grade totes I went with brute. They were $25 a piece back precovid. Seems like they are higher now. I ordered them from Lowe’s or Home Depot for pick up. If you buy them off Amazon, your Ups guy will hate you...

    Trying to build out G20 gen 5 everything rig. Razco?

    Got it. FWIW that slide release is a $20 part. DreMel the left side off and it would probably fit.

    Trying to build out G20 gen 5 everything rig. Razco?

    Not to derail, but what doesn’t fit between the gen 4 and 5 20 / 21 holster? Curious because I have a gene 4 20 and have been looking at A gen 5 21. Did they change a dimension on the gen 5 guns?

    2024 Mystery Ranch Hunting Packs

    It’s like a slightly bigger, more refined version of the Kifaru E&E. The MR daypack lid left me wanting a bit more from a function perspective on some hunts and this scratches that itch. It comes with a bit of a weight penalty but it looks like it will be worth it.

    Toxic / endocrine disrupting chemicals in outdoor equipment & clothes.

    I think cumulative incidental exposure to a lot of industrial chemicals is going to be one of those things that will be understand much better at a point in the future. Our future selves will look at us and some of the stuff we exposed ourselves to the way we look at a mid 20th century doctors...
