Survival and Emergency Preparedness

So...been looking at UTVs but new ones are ridiculously expensive particularly the name brand ones, Polaris, Honda, Kawasaki etc. Even the used brand named ones are way out of line. Started seeing ones at the big box hardware stores, Lowes, Home Depot, Rural King etc. Turns out the Colemans, Axis, M...

Just bought a used 500cc UTV side x side. Full story later

My brother and I bought a pre made wood deer blind big enough for at least 2 people. It's much larger than the one pictured above. With nephews and grandsons coming up we wanted a place where we could hunt with them. Big bro found one for sale pretty reasonably priced so we split the cost. I went an...

Here's my son's team. The front four. He's on the far right. It was a nice 70 F day. http://i.imgur.com/txFO6aZ.jpg They also gave me a patch. If you remember the movie it took place in Colorado and the high school team the guys were from had the wolverine as their mascot. They would hold up their c...

I just did (worked) a 5K "adventure race and shoot". Everybody working or competing were required to have a FAC with a tourniquet and IB. There were over 100 people competing, no medical emergencies.

To finish it up I'm going to put posts in the ground at the bottom of the stairs and run ropes up through the top posts and connect it to the box. That will serve as hand rails. I'm also going to get some spray foam and fill in some of the gaps in the roof. I'll do that once I get it set up in the w...

I thought I put this up. www.shoptaurus.com has it's usual holiday (memorial day) sale going on They've actually been running it in conjunction with the NRA show/meeting last week and continued it with the Memorial Day sale. They have a Viridian weapons light with charger pack which seems to be a go...

Got the windows in and am about 96% done. Started moving the base, platform and stairs out to the ridge overlooking the ravine. Should be able to put it all back together next weekend.
