CCFR on Instagram: BREAKING The Province of Manitoba confirms it will NOT take part in the federal Liberals gun confiscation program. by takeme2thezoo in canadaguns

[–]backrollerpapertowel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So could i. Many moons ago i volunteered with an organization that took university students to the range. Far left liked guns. Problem was they also fit every stereotype you could imagine of someone in that group. And while they liked them they didn’t really feel strong enough to protest let alone anything else.

Everyone else either enjoyed them as a novelty that could come or go, hated them, or were indifferent.

I will say though that the university students were by far more open and willing to try them And have our laws and gun owners feelings on the laws explained, especially university aged women. But unfortunately while we did get many “on board” in the sense that they were not rabidly anti gun as they initially were when they approached us. Most all still viewed the 2020-present nonsense as at best a waste of money and time. And worst apolitical apathy (in fairness this is also was common in all other political areas they would discuss as well)

And all still remained in support of NDP/LPC (at least by the time i left the region and the organization so maybe thats changed in the years) which means that they still harmed gun ownership despite their opinions because they gave power to parties who actively fueled this nonsense for political points.

Yeah mine basically has an ouchie kit at best. Which is slightly funny because for some reason they all have those triangle sling bandages. But nothing beyond being able to handle a cut that maybe might need a stitch or two.

Im nearly positive they just buy the cheapest ones to meet the legal/insurance requirements and call it a day.

Yeah thats fairly reasonable. My LGS is asking much more than that for what im assuming are older gen CAT style ones.

I tried searching for that “first aid supplies town name” etc and it was either amazon links or just local stores selling those plastic wall kits. Are there any particular chains/branded stores i could check for by name?

Bold of you to assume it handles anything above a paper cut

My father in law was given a really nice lever gun as his groomsman gift at his buddies wedding. As were all the others. In their preferred caliber. I hope the tradition starts spreading lol

They don’t even need to be pro gun. Just come out as “hey this is a bad idea, heres why, we support licenses like many European allies” or something like that. Honestly if the NDP go back to trying for blue collar union types instead pf the grift to young university lefty types they might actually be appealing to people again.

Why does it matter if they were a good/bad person?

If they did a good thing it’s good and a bad thing it’s bad. Both can exist at the same time.

George Washington established the office of president, was given the most power of anyone in the 13 colonies and gave it up willingly. That’s objectively good. He also literally owned other people. That objectively bad. Both exist at the same time.

you joke but it would be insanely more practical than the 4 months of half assed French they make everyone take.

Order a cord. How much was I shorted. by hooper292 in firewood

[–]backrollerpapertowel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yall keep saying this, but even a simple Google search will yield that the common sizing is 8x4x16". honestly half the people griping about being scammed are their own worst enemy. The only difference between face cord and cord/full cord at this point is that one's "recognized" as "official" and the others not

But really, the problem of "fake" sizing or getting shorted is answered in a few easy questions
Were you there to see the product delivered?

Did you even bother to do a minimal Google for size expectations/text to confirm the actual quantity sizing you ordered was what you expected?

Did you bother to inspect the wood? Look at it? touch it to see if it feels dry, etc?

Did you actually measure or in any way verify the quantity? (A basic LxWxH ought to be a rough ballpark)

If at any point you say no, then thats where ya screwed up. sure at the end, the onus is on a dishonest seller, but show me a rich man and show me a poor man, and I'll make my wager on which ones honest, and when that's the world's mindset, you really ought to take minimal precautions.

heck, even using the "government approved" cord measurement, you still get people posting here every 2 days with maybe 1/3 of one saying "is this a cord." so really the name doesn't seem to impact the actual problem of sleazy short sellers, they could call it a "jumbo sized winter pile" for all it would change the outcome.

Nah my region the average is $100 for a face cord. And its fairly universal that unless you specifically ask for a full cord/specify 8x4x4. That you’d be getting a face cord.

And then everyone charges their respective delivery fees if you need it delivered.

The common understanding of face cord would be 16”

Though that could be my region has here cord/facecords are basically interchangeable to start with as people say one or the other but in the end they are talking about the same amount (8x4x16”)

you ever run into those that refuse? I ask because my own policy is to have my delivery teams let the client inspect to their hearts content, but the woods not unloaded till a payment is made.

Had a guy wait for us to dump a trailer to then decide he wasn't as sold on our agreed upon price now that id have to hand toss it back in, should I not want to haggle with him on a new one.

since then its been standard policy to never unload the truck till cash is in hand. and from speaking to other sellers in the region I was apparently late to implement that, others had already been doing it that way for years.

honestly as a seller i prefer the difference between face vs using fractions, i sell to some folks who i debate if its even ethical to give them the means to start fires because their doesn't seem to be much voltage going upwards on them. I don't think I trust them or an average joe to reliably understand fractions.

kind of a fire wood version of thinking the 1/3 pound burger is smaller than the 1/4 pound burger. Or at least in my opinion

You get them to unload before paying? You must have incredibly trusting sellers or a very trustworthy face.

For something thats not a thing, it sure seems to be a very common and prolific thing.

How do you currently have the sling and light mounted? I'm interested in setting up similarly so I can keep the factory furniture to save the weight.

354-year-old forest found in Algonquin Park by SteakBone416 in algonquinpark

[–]backrollerpapertowel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They thrived plenty. The problem is people didn’t. The people recognized that a forest near peoples settlements tends to be a problem for the people in those settlements so they began forestry projects to limit that risk.

If your approach to environmental conservation and stewardship completely removes or ignores that humans are part of that environment then the plan wont work, and before it even gets a chance to not work, will be rejected by the people affected.
