    New Bushcraft/Firearms Poll

    Why would someone not want to know how to safely check and clear a "found" weapon? Shouldn't every parent know how to do this?

    Snow and best cars for coping (non-4x4s and cheap)

    Over the past 30 years, the biggest improver of winter traction and vehicle handling I've found had been winter tires. These have compounds for the cold and should not be run over 10C or so. A set of spare steel wheels for most vehicles shouldn't be too expensive. Presently, I've got a set of...

    I guess your household is also past the old "Is that a Swiss Champ in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me?" :D

    Too Much Kit?

    I keep track of the stuff I take on trips and outings and whether it gets used or not. The first aid kit is always going and the snakebite kit when it's appropriate, and I don't care if I never have to use either of them. I'm also willing to take along one too many layers of insulation and...

    Pot Roast!

    With daytime temperatures well below freezing, and snow flurries swirling beneath a leaden sky, the time seemed right to break out a winter favorite – Pot Roast! When I found some fairly nice looking choice chuck roast on sale at the Club of Sam, they followed me home. Here they are studded...

    After the Japanese firm Winchester had making the Model 101 and the Model 23 went bankrupt around 1990, some Winchester employees bought the tooling for those shotguns from the receiver and started making the guns under the Classic Doubles brand. Back before Bill Clinton when I had an FFL, I...
