    2nd owner of a 2013 5.0L, now with 61k on it. It has since become my 2nd vehicle, no longer daily driver, but i was getting just shy of 17 mpg, and still do. Breaks and tires are the only "major" repairs. I through a Leer canopy on it, and removed the front middle jump seat, and added a center...

    Hunting & Fishing Looks like I need a dog

    Lots of great points and suggestions here. Life has slowed down for us. Prior to my daughter we were very active in the mountains climbing, camping, etc. We also really liked to travel regularly, but that has also changed with a kid. We are down to 1 cat. But hes getting a bit old so maybe...

    How out of shape did you get with your first kid?

    Im glad I stumbled upon this thread. I have a 14 month old, but prior to her I would lift 3-5 days a week, Climbing 5.11+, back country ski tours, etc. I have not really "gained" weight, but I have deconditioned dramatically (thanks fruited sours and bourbon). It has been very hard on me...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Kenai Chest Holster

    Love mine. Started with a ruger red hawk, sold it and went g20. Pretty nice that you can buy just the shell and snap it into the harness, If you have multiple platforms you like to carry.

    Movie Theater Plandemic

    Its was an interesting take on another view point. But Dr. Mikovits is not known for her honesty so take it for what it is. Had some interesting poi ts about decreasing our immunity by masking and handwashing, making a 2nd wave more likely.

    Maggie’s The Welding and Metalworking Thread

    With all this social distancing, we have focused a lot of attention on house prohects including new patio furniture to watch the little one toddle in the backyard. So the wife asked for new deck dining furniture. All from home depot redwood... who knew redwood had curl?!?!

    How'd I do?

    I have no intention of sanding or steaming. I had not considered rubbing more oil in tho. At this point I just really want to get out and shoot it. I did install the correct type 2 locking bar rear sight and bolt. But really that's about as far as I am going to go for now. These military...

    How'd I do?

    Oddly enough I found 48 stamped on the bottom of the bullet guide (?) Which happens to match the 48 stamped on the stock. Go No go Field

    Reloading for AR pistol

    Im sure this is common knowledge, but I have not seen anything about it. I built a little 556 pistol with a 10.5 inch barrel, and have heard that pistols do not burn all the powder. Is it common to use a faster burning powder for smaller barrels in order to get adequate velocities? Does it...

    Whats everyone running for ballistics app?

    Another Shooter user here. No issues and seems to be very accurate across multiple platforms. My local range stretches to 1000 yards so I have not tested further predictions.

    How much protein do you need?

    This is key. A friend and I did a bulk together before my daughter was born. I was pretty strict with chicken, fish, veggies and complex carbs. He ate whatever cause "its bulking". I QUICKLY surpassed him and my PR's happened almost weekly. But now I cant lift as regular and he has surpassed me...

    How much protein do you need?

    I am no expert, But I have been interested in this topic lately for my own personal growth. From my understanding, it is not just protein, but macros in general. If you want to bulk you have to eat a surplus of calories with protein being 1-1.5 grams/ pound of body weight (not sure if this is...
