One definitely needs to choose a sidearm that can be used effectively. More gun than you can manage won't be ideal. Alaskan guide Phil Shoemaker used 4 x 147gr Buffalo Bore 9mm hard cast to kill a 1,000 lb grizzly that attacked his clients but I'd

Thanks for sharing that. I'm in public safety as a firefighter, and under ordinary circumstances when seconds count, help is just minutes away -- but they can be the longest minutes of your life. In the outdoors, the problem is exacerbated and help

I'm not sure if it's a failure to communicate so much as a difference in philosophies. ETS is kind of based around self reliance and education so it's normal for most of us to ass/u/me that building a kit is the way to go. Realistically if you buy

As I recall from past threads you live in Florida (correct?). In building your kit, I would suggest basing it on a set of limiting factors dictated by the terrain you would have to cover. Florida is pretty flat, and from my (limited) experience fai

Last night Mom researched the price of every item in the Quick Pack Contents and added everything up. It came to $150. GATA has it for $130. After a hard sell, Mom approved my idea for the prototype to learn with. As an unexpected bonus, Mom is usin

Mine is waterproof rated, added a simple thing TPU cover and a screen protector for all-around protection. Keeps it small and thus pocket-friendly.

The LCRx 3" is a fine little revolver! I never carry it afield anymore but I really should. Living in Montana it's a bit underpowered for bigger threats here but it would still be fine for small game hunting, etc. Or of course to ward off 2 l

Bingley, not sure of your firearms background, but the decision is dependent on a couple of things... auto loaders...typically have much lighter trigger pull (especially one handed) but due to the breach locking design are limited to bullet weights

Thanks for the report Les, I’ve never tested mine in serious rain. I have dropped it enough to destroy many smartphones — Gorilla Glass or not — no signs of wear at all. Great phone imo. Not affiliated with Verizon or Kyocera other than as a cu

Another issue I'm running into is maintaining electronics. As we get more and more they are harder to keep track of making sure they all stay charged. I had been standardizing on AA batteries but a lot of devices are not available in AA or still

My last three phones have been waterproof, starting with the Kyocera Brigaider. Also be sure to get wireless charging so you don't wear out the port or break the port when you or a cat knock the phone off of a table.

There is one situation I know of where I failed to listen and needed to be smacked upside the head with a clue-by-four. "Listen! He already told you how many rolls of Co-Flex that you need!" Other times I don't know what is going on. I hav

It is worth noting that my two instances of firearm use occurred in essentially developed areas, not in the wild. Living currently in a placid SoCal urban neighborhood, I keep my firearms ready, but inconspicuous. Venturing into the outback, weight
