    A former reloader dying inside

    Apparently Unknown will also reprocess your brass so you don't have to buy fresh stuff each time. No idea if that saves much, but it might help when components are scarce.

    A former reloader dying inside

    Check with unknown munitions. They offer a load developing service that is well reviewed. They will also give you the load data so you can load it yourself if you ever get back into it. I took their reloading class last year and it was excellent.

    Adding Solar panels and Backup batteries to my home

    I think this is the right answer. The batteries are by far the most expensive and least economic piece of the equation. They're also the piece that will wear out first and have the worst environmental impact from cradle to grave. A manual transfer switch and a natural gas genset is a much...

    Daines, Newhouse, and other R Senators with some bold words regarding public lands

    Don't forget regulatory burden affects the "true market price" of commodities. I can't speak for lumber, but for things like rare earth metals and solar panels which are broadly "not made here," it is because it's expensive to overcome the regulatory burden. Places like China have much less...

    Daines, Newhouse, and other R Senators with some bold words regarding public lands

    By that logic why don't we just sue the city, they shouldn't haves given the permits to build the house originally. If only they'd had more reviews, or open hearings perhaps it would have been solved in committee. My guess is that the shaman from California doesn't have the money to make me...

    Daines, Newhouse, and other R Senators with some bold words regarding public lands

    Therein lies the rub, there was someone who could be sued, so they were. Who do you sue when the logging doesn't get done and your house burns down.

    Daines, Newhouse, and other R Senators with some bold words regarding public lands

    According to the article you cited, logging was not the cause of this mud slide because permitting did not allow it to go ahead - and yet the hillside came down anyways. Of course the right answer is not "no permits" but don't mislead yourself that more "system" or "oversight" will solve...

    It's still raining here in Idaho falls, hopefully we're through the biggest risk.

    Women’s hunting clothing

    My wife likes Swazi stuff, we haven't tried any of their technical gear yet but the fleece has been great. Cut well, nice fabrics, nice quality. They seem to target more normal sized folks in their shape.

    My google phone is a reminder of how painful life can be

    I'm very sorry for your loss, but if it's any help, I find those "reminders" good motivation to document the good things. I end up taking lots of silly little pictures of the kids, the dog, those misty morning sunrises. Sure, the crappy memories come up to, but at least for me I have a...

    Land Rover Defender hunting rig?

    While not a defender (or cruiser) I am excited about the Grenadier. Unfortunately it does not look to be an inexpensive option. https://ineosgrenadier.com/

    Hunter orange and colorado

    Totally agree, I just try to give them less options. I use the Wal-Mart 5 high vests after that encounter. Then for a more permanent solution, I moved to Idaho.

    Hunter orange and colorado

    I've heard rumours of citings when the pack doesn't have orange and I've personally been told that the blaze has to be bright. A fish and game officer told me my orange puffy was not bright enough. If you wear a bino harness and a back pack there may not be 500 inches showing.

    Start a business to hunt more?

    I got laid off back in 2019 and started my own consulting firm, it was great, but as many others have mentioned you spend quite a bit of time doing things that aren't your normal job. Someone recommended the book "working for yourself" and it was an invaluable resource to get started. I also...

    TSA and things that shouldn't be in your carry on

    I'm surprised no one has mentioned cheese yet. When I lived out east everytime I went home I would bring back several large blocks of Tillamook's finest. The first time I didn't take them out of the bag and apparently the density and shape looks just like plastic explosive gong through the...

    Debt Elimination Question

    Depending on your income the student loan may be tax deductible (not sure on parental loans). If you can be diligent about not touching the money, it'll likely grow faster invested than you'll lose money on the interest on the student loan. But for peace of mind you can pay on the student loan.
