    SA Revolver just fits?

    Some things "just are", and some things "ain't'" Old school fits for me, like SA. Then again a lot of new fangled stuff is not about the user, instead the Intrawebz ,or marketing, or bottom line, or profit margin, or....or.... I could go, being a curmudgeon... Some stuff is proven, still...

    Three necessary knives?

    Just me, still what will YOU have when you need it... The reality is, based on MY life experiences, is one very well will have to rely to what they have on person, at the time all heck breaks loose. I ain't speaking of mutant zombie attacks, instead having to deal with say a tornado, or some...

    Family member threatened, looking to help them know what they need to know.

    One cannot change people, places and things. Only a person can change themselves. Suggestion, if I may, is to have this individual attend a courtroom and take in a trial. The gist being, viewing reality as it really is, what really happens in the real world, the consequences, how evil...

    Sharpening Safety: Axes

    I saw the results of someone not using safety in sharpening an axe. Nasty. Still he was lucky, and will have a "hard row to hoe" for a bit, still will recover. I volunteered to finish the sharpening for him. I simply wanted to, and quite frankly wanted the challenge and...sounds dumb, still...

    CCWing a .22LR by choice?

    Physician's Orders I have had to, as have some others, go to .22 long rifle for defensive needs. No recoil, as per Doctors due to injury/surgery. Also, in my case, and others I know too well of, in NPE, [non permissive to (weapon) environments] a small .22 such as the NAA fits a niche. Add...

    Short sticks

    Umbrellas I learned very very young the usefulness of umbrellas, even being a Southern Boy, having been born and raised in the Deep South... Then, I learned the usefulness of these small, very small, "retractable" and "most portable" umbrellas. Keep in mind a lot of what I come up with, and...
