    Homeschooling

    Huh, seems like all the teaching materials posted so far come from churches. Are there any homeschooling packages that don’t involve religious propaganda, or is the entire field dominated by that sort of stuff? 🤔

    Best headlamp (waterproof with replaceable batteries)

    If you want a tough, reliable, high-quality headlamp with the option of using regular batteries, (almost) anything from Petzl works with AAAs, and their stuff tends to be as good as it gets for the type of light you’d want for hiking/camping use. Update — this one won’t run on AAAs: The Swift...

    Homeschooling

    Agreed; there appears to be an irrational fear and hatred of normal schools, at least by some.

    Gun ban

    Good thing that he didn’t have a gun, then, or things could have been much worse. 🤔

    Homeschooling

    Especially considering some homeschoolers have more intelligence and capability than any mere professional teacher could even aspire to, at least by their own humble estimation.

    Homeschooling

    Right, because the young-earth creationists and those who simply fabricate stuff to be mad at are definitely on the side of the truth-tellers. (y)

    Gun ban

    The religious right: famously tolerant. 👍

    Homeschooling

    Ha, never thought I’d see that fascistic “hard times/strong men” cliché being used as an argument for keeping kids in public school. 😄

    Who, specifically, do you mean by “them”?

    Gun ban

    OK — how were these wealthy elitists not a slave-owning ruling class, then? :unsure:

    Homeschooling

    I don’t have particularly strong feelings for or against the concept of homeschooling, but it appears that at least some children are being forced into it because of motivations that seem frankly paranoid.

    Homeschooling

    Wow, no conflict of interest there. Seems totally legit and not at all like a way to drum up business from the gullible for her fake school. 🤔

    Homeschooling

    Yes, homeschooled kids are famous for having superior social skills.

    Homeschooling

    Nah, it’s not arrogant in the least for a self-appointed expert to categorically state that they’re smarter and more capable than actual teaching professionals even have the capacity to be. If anything, it’s a powerful lesson in humility.

    Best Bipods

    I think the detachable Spartan system is great. Weighs next to nothing (under 150 g for the Javelin Lite), gives a nice controlled bit of flex for preloading, and has the right amount of free travel straight backwards for accuracy. It’s a perfect lightweight hunting bipod in my opinion.

    Fixed Blade Knife Recommendation

    @ODB It depends. Advances in steelmaking such as powder metallurgy mean that extremely-stainless steels now exist that significantly outperform older carbon steels, even ones like D2 that were near the top of the heap a generation ago. Steels have come a long way; you can now get great...

    Fixed Blade Knife Recommendation

    Yeah they make some good stuff. I have the Aurora in CPM 3V and it works great as an all-arounder, but as a pure hunting knife, I’d go with something from their Fox River or Gunny Hunter series with the lightweight or featherweight blade stock option in 3V, Elmax or Magnacut (when it becomes...

    What's your EDC knife?

    @K1United Nice choices there. Are those Paras in Maxamet?

    Esee Ashley or lt wright small

    Of those two, I guess I’d go with the LT because of its thinner blade stock in a better steel.
