    Modular Length Suppressors

    I'm using a SilencerCo Harvester 300. I have a thread adapter to place it on different rifles. No issue at all moving it around. What do you mean by "modular?"

    CO Elk Point

    We just had this discussion on another thread. I agree that states are making money on the applications even though you are not drawn. A point a guy made is that individual states get Pittman/Robertson funds doled out to them based on licensed hunters. Having you buy a hunting license in that...

    off-grid electrical system for cabin

    To me there is a slight difference in "off grid" approach. One is that you are survivalist and require nothing from the outside world. The other is that you have no access to daily utilities; city water, sewer, electricity, gas. I think most folks off grid use the 2nd approach. I have a...

    off-grid electrical system for cabin

    Water is dense. Wind is not. The ability for the dense water to continually turn a microturbine is great. It generated constant power. Again, I don't have this, but I wish I did.

    off-grid electrical system for cabin

    I spent the last two summers building a home just east of Grand Forks and looked into Dakota Lithium. They had a number of products. I was looking for a lithium battery for my jeep. Decided against it. I don't know if they are competitive with Simpli phi. There is also a good lithium battery...

    off-grid electrical system for cabin

    I did a one-year wind study of my Colorado property prior to building. I still have all the data and analysis. It was a class 5 wind area (the highest). But again, wind generators lose 4% per 1000 feet, so I was already 36% below any rated power of any wind generator. In addition, I looked at...

    Thanks again. I normally buy a 2-year I think so I've never even known that it was a requirement.

    off-grid electrical system for cabin

    Overview. I need a tank of propane to heat my off grid place during the winter. Electricity from panels won't provide enough energy. So, I have a 500 gal propane tank. I've placed a Kohler generator as the emergency backup. My system monitors the battery level and automatically turns on...

    Bergers vs. Noslers on Elk - 7mm Rem Mag

    I've never aimed at the shoulder, but in another thread there's a guy who uses Bergers intentionally into the shoulder and the elk go down every time. Perhaps a lot of wasted meat, but the elk is still dead. I don't know performance of the Berger into shoulder vs. heart/lung.

    off-grid electrical system for cabin

    This is off grid at 9000'. 24 volt system. [note - I would do 48V if I did it again] 5 KW continuous power from the panels 8KW continuous power from the two inverters (surge to to 12 I think) 6 SimpliPhi LiPho batteries. I had AGM's but swapped them out. Only lithiums for me. Power dump...

    Never seen a bear in Utah. Where do I go for the best chance?

    I sympathize. Been out in the woods here the last 20+ years and have only come across tracks. I've never seen the bears.
