    Train transportation is significantly better than over the road when it comes to central sources... the train manifest would have been available, the rail resources would have had similar info, and just about every fire department in the US knows how to contact CHEMTREC. Detailed facts would...

    Ohio Disaster

    What I wrote, exactly "The gas is pretty bad news and you really do not want a cloud of it floating through town (vapor density is 2.2, heavier than air)... so one option to mitigate it is actually to burn it off." I don't see any defense of the local firefighters in my quote. Maybe you...

    Cleaning house. One bolt action (caliber) for the man that probably doesn't need a bolt action.

    UKD long range shooting... the modern evolution (last 30 years). .308 -->.260 --> .260AI --> 6.5 Creed there were dalliances along the way... .243 and 6.5 x 284, but way too hot and wild to be an enduring relationship

    Beef Jerky

    Hey guys, serious topic here.. I am looking for a source of well made beef jerky... I'm not particularly fond of super hot, would prefer a pepper / teriyaki type flavor... but made from real beef and texture like dried beef, not wet plastic. Anyone have a particular brand or source they...
