A single diesel heater will not keep that warm. I've been using one in my garage and it takes the edge off but it's far from warm. For what you're doing, I'd go nu wave and wood stove
I can't tell if you're serious or if you're trolling but that's what a level is for. You set a tube mounted level with your reticle and that is your constant benchmark.
You make my head hurt. You are completely wrapped around the axle on this and talking about things that don't matter. The center of the bore and the center of your scope are what you should be worried about and that is even debatable. As winmag stated, the scope and action can be out of vertical...
This is spot on and what I wish someone would have taught me in high school. No matter what you do, you'll be limited when you're working for 'the man'.
This is becoming one of my biggest fears while in the woods. I dislocated my should in high school probably 7 or 8 times and used the technique you described and was able to get it back into place every time on my own. I had it worked on in 2005 and had a good run with no issues but have...
That's fair. But $100k in the trades is not as much of an anomaly as some think. I totally agree that a college degree opens more doors. But there are a lot of people out there that aren't really cut out for college and would be better off in the trades or some other field that doesn't require a...
I grew up around a lot of heavy industrial/production jobsites so maybe my perspective is skewed as those types or jobs typically pay more than your average residential stuff. The money is out there if a guy knows where to look and I do not feel like I've been held back monetarily due to my...
I have a feeling you haven't spent much time around the trades. I know quite a few people that were making $100k/yr while the people they graduated high school with were still earning their degrees. I can walk into most companies and make as much or more than some engineers already on the...
I find myself gravitating back towards more traditional cartridges. The top ones on my list would be .308, 30-06, .284 win, or 280 AI. If you can't kill everything proficiently with any of those, you have other problems
Good on you for making the lifestyle changes. All too often you hear of people having issues and they don't make any changes. Keep up the good fight man!
I say go for it. I worked with a guy (who I thought was rather dumb at times) who got his pilots license later in life. I don't think you'll have any problem with it
