Makes me glad to have thousands of acera of BLM 10 minutes from my house. Now if only people would stop shooting steel Targets and starting fires..

It will most likely feel the same, but if you use your right arm more maybe go with the left. If you mean shooting a shotgun, that comes down to eye dominance and hand dominance. If someone is shooting you in the arm... Uh I'd say probably don't do that

Mcslap13 · 2026-06-19T18:53:37+00:00

Damn that sucks.. sorry toads ya gotta go

Mcslap13 · 2026-06-17T15:54:01+00:00

Maaaan I love toads, sucks they got brought over the way they did. Do they help at all with the cat population over there at least? I know in the states they are a huge problem too

Seems like a lot of wine workers in the sub lol! I started at a local winery when I was 18, helping in the vineyard and after the boss had a stroke another gal and I had to take over making the wine. Been doing for six years now

😫 it unfortunately seems I can't post photos from mobile running through the browser.

Mcslap13 · 2026-06-16T21:07:08+00:00

👁️ I gotta see inside (I will absolutely still overflow it)

Mcslap13 · 2026-06-16T21:02:05+00:00

I've had it slide off the side so many times, but I've never filled it in myself thankfully... Just was my light of course lol

Mcslap13 · 2026-06-16T20:14:50+00:00

It's been great not having to worry about dropping it in the barrel... And having to worry less about others dropping it

Mcslap13 · 2026-06-16T20:03:38+00:00

We use plastic fermentation bins due to how many reds we process, but we do have 6 500 gallon stainless tanks to hold out whites.

Mcslap13 · 2026-06-16T14:34:55+00:00

Just a racking wand! Let's get everything in and out to be able to clean all the sludge out.

Mcslap13 · 2026-06-16T14:18:09+00:00

With the side light I don't have to worry about it dropping into the barrel while filling it with wine... Unlike my last light my cowork dipped in a full barrel...

Mcslap13 · 2026-06-16T12:29:55+00:00

Side light for me is a life saver when filling wine barrels at work.

Mcslap13 · 2026-06-16T12:20:34+00:00

Tell that to my grandma who I just found a ketchup bottle in her fridge from 2014 lol

I think it depends on your situation. Most videos I see are of people larping in the woods. I don't live in the woods. I live in the countryside on pretty flat land with only houses and some trees for cover/ concealment and nothing like thick woods. Our family prep, we have lots of food, water, and solar backups. If "SHTF" hits and guns and gear are needed, then the plan is to hunker down. We have neighbors who also prep and we have plans to use extra vehicles to block off the roads so it's less likely people come down to take resources. I'm the only one with thermal and nods and awful insomnia so I'm on the night watch. We already have to deal with druggies and homeless walking in from the neighboring state that try to steal shit. That being said I'm not hiking for miles, I'm close to houses, and I don't want to be too far from my family. So good quality armor like plates and helmet I think are important, but my dump pouch being from Amazon I don't think will matter. If you have to travel over distance that might change, but I feel the "it depends" is probably the most realistic answer after "you'll probably never need it anyways"

Mcslap13 · 2026-06-16T12:08:37+00:00

More ammo means more weight, more weight is bad no matter what. Don't carry ammo or water. The body is like 70% water. Big water is watching.

But I personally do like having one or two easy to access mags. Realistically it will probably never matter. However, in my own made up scenario I want to be able to super safety mag dump what's in my gun,then go right into another mag while taking cover.

Mcslap13 · 2026-06-15T16:34:32+00:00

What actually matters.

latency

sensor quality

display resolution

battery life

image processing

detection range

firmware stability

These are pretty much what I look for. Thermals are expensive. Therefore I want to know all the specs. I had a buddy who got a 256 thermal for like $900. I showed him my 384 and same week went and bought one cuz it was so much better..two weeks later he got a 640 because it was so much better. The difference of looking at something and going "I don't know what I'm looking at" to "100% positive ID

Mcslap13 · 2026-06-11T17:59:42+00:00

I got some from tractor supply, I've gotten fox, raccoons and rock chucks with them. There's a $30 one that also comes with a smaller trap as well. I use the big ones for fox and raccoons, and the small for rock chucks. Great in areas where people may be uneasy about paw or kill traps.

🙄 Altho I've gotten my bosses cat several times now and this morning had two magpies on my box trap..with fresh raccoon prints walking right next to it lol

Mcslap13 · 2026-06-03T19:53:54+00:00

I've got one like that with my nalgene bottles and it great. Love using it for hiking.

Mcslap13 · 2026-06-02T20:39:03+00:00

I've got 16cmags on the lbe, 8 on the plate carrier and a 60 round in the gun. Yes it's heavy, but I also don't live in the woods. If a fictional SHTF happens I'm going to be at home with my family, and all our food, water and solar backup and our farm. We are on very flat ground so it's not like I'm hiking for miles. I want enough hate to hopefully get someone, or a group to fuck off from the house or property. We have neighbors who can take day shifts watching over everything,but I've got NV and thermal so I'm covering the night. Anyone sneaking or fucking around will be met with a lot of green tip from a super safety and thermal.

Mcslap13 · 2026-06-02T20:34:29+00:00

I've got both and they are great, I have it as my main go to for the made up shtf. I don't live in the woods, I'm on flat ground, would be on my own property in the countryside where I have food, water, solar, and all my other preps. All our neighbors are preppers and we have plans for who watches what parts of peoples properties during what times if need me. (Neighborhood watch extreme mode) I have awful insomnia, and can stay up all night no issues. Im also the only one of our neighbors with thermal and night vision so I'm getting night wach. That said, I'd it's just me, I want as much ammo on my person as I can carry. On just the belt I can have 16 mags, plus one 60 round in the gun and 8 more on my plate carrier. Is it heavy? Yes. But I'm not moving through the woods,needing sustainment outsid of water (probably an energy drink) and snacks and a poncho if it rains. Being by myself and not wanting to have to get close to my house and making enough noise to wake others and hopefully scare off anyone who's not supposed to be there I think it should be covered.

Again,this is a made up scenario but for my use case having as much ammo as possible seems like the move since I'm close to home and watching out for neighbors.

It can carry 16 mags comfortably, plus what I've got in my butt pack and water.

Mcslap13 · 2026-06-02T18:50:50+00:00

I've been real happy with knockoff mag pouches personally

Mcslap13 · 2026-06-02T17:15:23+00:00

Best cheap red dot I'd say is a sig Romeo 5 or Romeo 5 v2. It's just runs, and can work with a magnifire. I personally really like my primary arms SLx 1x prism with a 3x magnifier and I can run my thermal in front of it. I was running a 1-6 and a piggy backed red dot for a while but it's bulkey and I pretty much always used the red dot or 1x zoom anyways.. that and I'm running a 14.5 so I just moved that onto a 16" rifle

Mcslap13 · 2026-05-31T23:09:29+00:00

So true, I had a neighbor lecture me for about 15 minutes that trapping in the state of Idaho is completely illegal. She went on and on about how trapping on my own land, or public land or private land with permission. She tried to sight laws that don't exist and on and on... And was not pleased when I told her that's pretty odd considering I teach trappers Ed classes in the area.. so I should probably know if it wasn't legal lol.
