What did you do today to prep?

[Camelfilter]

Handgun training; stationary bowling pin shape & size @ 10 yards; outdoors, while wearing body armor and gas mask. Then I scored on a quantity of brass-cased, boxer-primed, & non-corrosive 7.62X39 FMJ.

Cold but a great day.

Nice - then practice again masked over the summer on the warmest forcast day that you can...

Yesser, we put all the adversity and decision-making into our training that we can. It's always noted how difficult some tasks can be when we are wearing special equipment, working with limited vision, and without primary limbs; shooting one handed "ambi" is always fun.

Perishable skills need to be hit as often as possible.

Worked on reorganization of the two GHB's and the ammo cashe.
Still have to get some little stuff but the wife put together the med kits so I know that I can be saved unless I somehow cut my head off... lol

Oh and while out in the shop I heard a delivery truck at the house & he delivered my 10 P-Mags ($79 & free shipping) that I ordered on the 23rd of Dec. PSA sure takes their sweet azz time (I know it was right at Christmas time but still)....

Went snow hiking and built a fire up at the camp. Those Yule logs work pretty well.

We did get hit pretty good. I had 2 snow days last week and another one this Tuesday. Glad to be back at work.

The photo was actually taken on mt hood. Strange that it was relatively warm and rainy there. Maybe it felt warm because of the load we were carrying. It was probably 35-40 degrees.

I wish the clouds had parted that night as we were walking back. It's a neat experience walking in a snow covered forest lit up by the moon.

Caveman PT is the best kind of PT.

Got a couple of USGI issue ponchos and another woobie in the mail from ebay. Have a hard time understanding why it's so hard to find new or excellent condition ponchos. Just about all of the "military" ponchos on ebay or Amazon are chinese crap.

Edit: If it wasn't clear the stuff I bought was made in USA, just pretty hard to find lately.

Just about everything you buyou nowadays is cheap China crap, they are eating our lunch with cheap materials and labor.....
And our GOV made it happen!!!!!!

And just scored a used USMC MSR XGK stove set with two of the tan MSR 20oz fuel bottles for $90 shipped! That just about finishes up my MSR stove collecting efforts.

Come on now,we all made it happen when we started,well our parents started buying thing from out of country.
Once the businesses saw we wanted cheap over home made the push was on to make things over seas.
Big business was more to blame than the government.
But still not as much as the consumer.
No need to put blame where it doesn't belong

As far as I knew you had to consult the government back then if you wanted to do business overseas.
I always had the mindset that you get what you pay for taught from my Dad but was basically forced to buy the crap because that's all there was.
And yes the GOV definitely had something to do with it, femember NAFTA?

NAFTA would not exist if there wasn't a demand for cheap goods from overseas. Kinda the same reason the drug war fails. The demand is there.
IF everyone was more concerned about keeping America strong instead of cheap goods,there wouldn't be Chinese goods in our stores.
The government did what they did because the people wanted cheaper goods over American made.
All that needed to be done was nobody bought goods from overseas. Then we wouldn't be having this discussion

 

[tashworth1]

got a wood stove for the 4 cord of wood i cut 4 months ago

 

[Capn Jack]

Tried out my new Pack I ordered from the "Sportsman's Guide". Still trying to figure out where all of the straps go.
I gave up and went out to assemble the "Piggy Back Trailer Hitch Carrier" FedEx left. Had to do a little "Thinking" on that.
All that's left now is to hang the ramp. Have to leave something for tomorrow though.
Now...Where do those two bottom straps on the pack go? Hmmmm

 

[Andy54Hawken]

Reading your post Capn Jack reminds of the countless number of times I've had to help a new 1907 sling owner / user correctly install the sling on a M1 or 1903 series rifle...

It's the same as trying to get gun owners to unite, it's virtually impossible to get those who don't care to care.
We were a buy American family back when it was cool to buy American.

This is why I make it a priority to buy American guns/ammo except for mil surp
