    tactical pants

    LOL. When you start with someone on the internet, you never know how it's going to come back. You've regurgitated all the majors points of the common position... "buy American", "Walmart is bad", "people in Walmart are fat and stupid", etc. In a decade or so, it will independently occur...

    tactical pants

    Wrangler Cargo pants sold in Walmart are made in Nicaragua. The workers are unionized and work in plants compliant with the recent ILO Better Work standards (which the US backs). The government is democratically elected, and employs a presidential model (as opposed to a parliamentary system)...

    tactical pants

    Wrangler cargo pants at Target or Walmart... if you feel bad wearing cheap pants... make a pile of money using $20 bills and light it on fire, it will help.

    Yeti VS. Pelican

    I did extensive research and wen't with the Pelican. Cost was my primary factor in deciding, I suspect they both are great coolers, the Pelican product is just more affordable at this moment. Nothing wrong with the Yeti if you can get it at a good price IMO

    Safety Glasses: How good is good enough!

    I buy cheap glasses by the dozen and leave them all over the place... on all my fixed power tools, mowers, weed whacker, chain saws, in the truck, tucked in the liner of my fire helmet, etc. I also own a good quality pair that I keep in my range bag. The idea is that there should never be a...

    Looking for a good quality large duffel

    I want to buy a large duffel (approx 32-34" length). Have any of you purchased one under $100 that wasn't complete crap? This item will sit on a table in a ski lodge, so anything from a premium vendor will be too much temptation for a thief...

    How the Hide has changed

    I'll have to agree with you there…that guy posted some incredible pictures. I added the Alaska wilderness to my bucket list mostly because of his pics. It's like old home week here, so many of the original folks coming out of the woodwork. I hope you are all healthy and happy… have a great...

    Otis Ripcord - Anyone Try One?

    I keep the older Otis cord (black plastic coating over steel cable) cleaning kits in my shooting bag, but just to swab a barrel while it warm at the range. I'm a firefighter and Nomex is great stuff, but how it adds value in a gun cleaning product is beyond me. The one thing about all these...

    Winter Shell - to ski in

    So, my eldest daughter is 11 now and I really want her to get better at skiing. I'm 47 and in damn good shape, so I figure I can probably still take the beating. I live in northern New Jersey, so the 1000' drop resorts in eastern PA are an easy day trip…plus we can be in southern Vermont in...

    Woobies, who has one? LBT

    I went camping in NJ three times this fall with my kids…. temps went into the low 40s at night and the dew levels soaked through anything cotton. My Kifaru Doobie was adequate to keep me WARM without a sleeping bag…. it would probably work down to 30 degrees if you were in top cardio...

    Mid length gas system malfunction

    Problem solved. When I pulled everything down to measure the gas port size, I spotted a flake of material lodged in the adapter, obstructing gas from entering the gas tube…. when I removed the obstruction, the volume of air that could be moved through the gas system increased dramatically...

    Mid length gas system malfunction

    I recently assembled a mid-length featherweight barrel upper which was to become my carbine class primary. I've assembled a half dozen uppers in the past and I suspect I did this one correctly in terms of parts assembly. When I obstruct the breach and blow air into the muzzle, I can feel air...

    Rifle Scopes Help identifying scope - Came off a 1903

    It is not a weaver 330 or a Lyman Alaskan (it is not correct for 03 A4) Lyman alaskan has a bell shaped objective. ....rings might be redfield JRs... hard to tell from the photo. I'd guess you to be correct, an early manufacture weaver model, the plate over the elevation is similar to the...

    Gas mask?

    Everything I wrote in the above quote is absolutely factual. When you apply them in the context they were presented by the OP, employing a <$150 mask, no splash protection and no training....I consider it absolutely sound and correct advice. I am very pleased that I won the argument... that...

    Gas mask?

    So, basically, you have no experience to speak of, don't really know too many facts, and are gonna keep repeating your same childish taunts. BTW - I reread the whole thread looking for even one comment that said the US Mil was wrong, foolish, incorrect, etc.... not one person in this entire...

    Gas mask?

    On 9/11/01, I was walking into the WTC site as part of the first due USAR tech rescue team, with M8 paper on my gear. The team that would have been first in (NYTF-1) had lost so many guys in the towers that they could not muster. The call for help had come from the CC in the towers and it was...

    Gas mask?

    My position is based on training I received as a Hazardous Material specialist, Firefighter, National Fire Academy alum (ALS hazmat), UMDNJ paramedic, FEMA USAR Hazmat Tech (NJTF-1 member), college minor in chem / toxicology (focus on organophosphates) and some training at Dugway. Some folks...
