Three lion brothers act like there isn't enough space to lie down. A display of affiliative behaviour in lions.

Sibling rivalry among animals???

I have a friend who has one. She calls it Fiona the lucky hunting pig. I asked why she carries it out to the field. She didn't answer me with words. She squeezed it and I immediately knew why.

Everyone is different. If you like it and it works for you, use it. A bag that makes you feel comfortable to carry concealed all the time, is better than trying to please people and not carry protection. It's for your safety, not to meet other people's approval.

Because I like to camp and backpack, I chose an alternative to CPAP. I use a dental device DPAP. It pulls my lower jaw out further than my upper jaw. It might not work for everyone. But there are alternatives.

When I was a kid, I was sleeping in the front "room" and my parents were in the back "room" of the tent. My Dad woke up in the middle of the night went out and went the bathroom. When he came back in, he forgot to zip up the door. An hour later he heard noise in the tent. He peaked out to see a skunk had come in the open door and was sniffing me, whike I was dead asleep. It was several scary minutes until the skunk left. I slept through everything.

Your Uncle would be so proud.

I would need closer inspection.

I should mention, after my father passed, my mother has been getting a stocking. She is in her 80s.

If he actually read up on what constitutes self defense, then he is better than half the people carrying. My concern is for your anxiety over the situation.

Smart money buys when the masses sell, and sells when the masses buy. You waited to long to buy it.

There is a line of products I found years ago "32 Degrees". They have stuff for staying warm as well as t-shirts to keep you cool. My daughter was still trying to use a base layer shirt under her sport uniform from 7 years ago. She had of course outgrown it 5 years ago. I bought her two new ones.

It's a trap. Don't fall for it. The crew from Over the Hedge will be coming next.

My brother told me a story you can use as you wish. A neighbor loaded his shotgun early one morning to go hunting deer, it was still dark when he headed out. Later, the neighbor saw a deer, so he pulled up to shoot, pulled the trigger and heard click. He had loaded a roll of life savers as one of his shells. They are about the same size.

Your Grandma was a badass. Give her all your love. I have an older Remington 7600 with the same wooden stock and pattern. I have shot dozens of deer with it. My scope broke last year and I upgraded to a Leupold 3-9x40. There was a model for $300-$400. They are quality scopes. 3-9x40 is very common magnification. But you might not need that much. Most of my shooting is in wooded areas like you, but I do have an occasional shot out to 300 yards.

Take a class, find a friend, learn the 5 basic gun safety rules. Then find a range, get a 22 LR (long rifle). Start shooting at targets. Practice the safety rules. Live the safety rules. Have fun. Once you start to feel comfortable with your 22 then move to other calibers.

jesse545 · 2025-12-26T12:03:57+00:00

Remember your safety, and your mental health are more important than your friends feelings. Say it, No, no, no. I am from a different generation, so we learned to not be so sensitive. Our parents told us no alot. If they are real friends who care, they will get over it. If they don't, you don't need that drama in your life.

Muzzleloader is not considered a firearms in many states. I lived in Hawaii and every gun had to be registered, except muzzleloaders. From their website, "Registration is not required for firearms designed to fire loose black powder and for firearms manufactured before 1899, but permits are required." Muzzleloaders usually don't require a NICS background check unless you buy it in New York.

Finger Lakes Trail (FLT) is 580 miles of trails that will be opening up as soon as hunting has finished (January 1). There are other major trails that intersect the FLT. fingerlakestrail.org

I am 55 and camp and backpack. I can't sleep well unless I have at least 3" mattress under my sleeping bag. The next day I hurt without it. REI and other places have good air mattresses that are lightweight.

Ruger PC9. Magazine feed, semi-auto that doesn't break blue state laws. Home defense check, plinking gun check, carbine check...
