    Utility Trailer Floor/Deck

    I've got an aluminum 14' tandem "3-place" V-front drive-on/drive-off that's stored outside. It's 22-23yrs old and getting some soft-spots which I think is to be expected. I will replace with marine (not green treated) plywood like it had from the factory, my question, is, has anyone...

    Beretta 390 20Ga

    If anyone has a Beretta 390 20Ga and either needs a new stock, or needs a stock to cut down. Cole Fine Guns and Gunsmithing has a crap-ton of full sets of butt-stock/fore-ends for $250. Some of them have some exceptional figure. I have no affiliation with Cole but thought that the deals...

    DIY Riflescope Zero-Stop

    I’m sure this process will work for a whole bunch of other scopes beyond the NF SHV, that’s just the one I made. I saw the idea originally referenced on either Long-Range Hunting or Rockslide, I don't recall which. I really like the 3-10x42 NF SHV on a hunting rifle. They’ve got a simple...

    Griddle in the winter?

    Anyone use a Blackstone/Griddle outside in the winter? I have a 22” 2-burner but pretty much pack it away Mid-Sept when I shut the camper down.

    Reloading question

    I was in a gun shop today and found 5# of Reloader 19 and 5# of Reloader 7. My question is, if I mix them, will I have 10# of Reloader 26?

    Small engine oil changes

    There isn’t hardly a small engine made that doesn’t make an unnecessary mess when trying to drain it. Lawn mowers, lawn tractors, generators, 4-stroke boat motors of all sizes, snowblower, 4-stroke auger, ATV/UTV, golf cart, etc, etc, etc. Almost none of them drain clearly/cleanly. The drain...

    OnX ???

    For anyone using OnX: 1. Can you use Apple CarPlay/Android-Auto and mirror it onto an in-dash nav screen? 2. Does OnX "keep up" @ highway speeds running live without downloading maps and running off-line?

    Flak Jacket Boat Windshield Protector.

    Couple of weeks ago I read through the thread about boat windshield protection. I'd not actually seen a Flak Jacket on anyone else's rig nor obviously used one. But, I ordered one anyway. I watched the install video on their website, went out to my boat and in under 10Min, the protector is...

    Things an adult should know how to do without Youtube

    1. Use a ratchet-strap. We've been upright with opposable thumbs for about 4 Million years people. 2. Back a trailer, I'm not talking about a train of hay wagons none of which have fixed front axels, just a single trailer, hooked to the bumper, receiver, or 5th wheel of a tow vehicle. 3...

    Leveling backseat for dog kennel

    Most of the time I don't kennel the dog, when I do kennel him, the kennel most often rides in the back-seat. There's ~3" of drop over the 20" seat depth that I'd like to level. Preferably I'd rather not build what would amount to a large/heavy wooden ramp. Go.

    Keeping outdoor kennel cool

    My outdoor kennel is 5'W x 10'L x 6' high chain link. There is a doggie door into an AC'd bldg. The kennel is along the W side of the building. Used to be shaded most of the day between trees and a neighbor's fence. Neighbor's fence blew down during last summer's wind storm and they're not...

    Wood-Workers? Cherry wood?

    I had some sort of Chinese/Asian cherry tree in my front yard. Storm damaged it a few weeks back. I've got all of the branches off of it. I'm down to the main trunk which is about 6.5' tall and ~20-22" in diameter. Based upon what I see where the main branches have come off @ the trunk...

    Industrial Hemp

    Can farmers plant Ind. Hemp without jumping through a bunch of hoops now? Will there be any significant amounts grown in ND? I wonder how deer would react to a stand of Hemp surrounding a food plot? I bet an awful lot of critters could live in a 3'-6' wide swath of standing hemp along...

    Line vs. Rod, where do you like your "Give"?

    Trying not to muddy up someone else's thread. Regarding fishing walleyes on live bait, where do you like your "give"? Yes, some day's they'll just inhale live bait and it won't matter, but, a lot of day's a person is "playing" a fish into a successful hookset. IMO/IME, I catch more fish...

    Crown Royal Texas Mesquite

    I like some of the "smokier" Canadian whiskeys so this made sense in my head. I cracked the bottle, took a small sip and IMO it tastes like a Mesquite Traeger pellet soaked in rubbing alcohol. Has anyone else tried it and found anything to mix with it to make it palatable? If not, I suppose I...

    Vacuum sealers and bags

    Holy crap!!! I have the rolls, make my own bags. However, I feel as though I might just be the worlds most inefficient user of vac-bags/ rolls on the planet. Seems like to get a good seal, I need to use about 2x more bag than necessary so as to not have wrinkles in the sealing strip. Its...

    Which is better?

    Airwolf (the deadly helicopter show) or "The Master"? (the ninja show w/Lee Van Cleef) Thunder the Barbarian or He-Man? Space Ghost or Johnny Quest? GI Joe or Transformers? Tom and Jerry or Heckle and Jeckle? Dallas or Falcon Crest? The Dukes of Hazzard or The A Team? Miami Vice or Night...

    Leaky Propane Tanks

    Both of the 30# propane tanks from my camper were unable to be filled last weekend. So, I bought 2 new 30's. Question is, what to do with the old empty tanks that leak? Let's just assume I won't be the guy hauling them to the rifle range, or anywhere else to shoot them. They either are of...

    Cordless Tool Batteries

    I have 5-6 ~9yr old 18V Nimh Dewalt batteries. They're all getting so that they don't provide much power and certainly don't last very long. Is there anything that can be done with them other than just recycling them? I've seen the "jumper them back to life" videos on YouTube, I'm skeptical...

    Teaching/Learning to shoot w/both eyes open

    Kiddo does reasonably well w/Red Ryder (pink actually) open sights as issued. She figured out the Savage Rascal peep right away. What she hasn't figured out is to keep her left eye open as well. I'm toying with the idea of a reflex type sight on her 22 as a means of only having to line up the...
