      Remington 11-87 Won’t Fire

      Hi INGO I have a Remington 11-87 Sportsman 12 gauge. I’ve had it out waterfowl hunting twice now, and when the trigger is pulled, the gun does not fire. The trigger moves/pulls, but doesn’t fire. I have dry fired it and it seems fine, though. I do not see anything on the shells. I’ve also...

      Crossbow Newbie - Questions

      Good morning Ive borrowed my dad’s crossbow with the thought of possibly trying to deer hunt (Illinois) later this archery season.

      Deer Hunting: Quietly loading gun

      Hi INGO I am a new deer hunter, in Illinois (shotgun). This may be a dumb question, but something I was thinking about. How do you quietly load your shotgun, once you are up in your stand? I hunt with a Mossberg 500, so naturally it is noisy to close the slide and load the first slug...

      AR500 Armour - Freeman Package

      Does anyone have experience with rather Freeman plate and carrier setup from AR500? Looks small and compact, which is intriguing. I see it is only level III and smaller plate size. I’m 6’ and about 220. Curious if anyone has any comparisons?

      Hi INGO What recommendations can you provide on hunting knives? - Primary focus would be for deer hunting - Prefer fixed blade over folding - Would like a sheath with it - Open to two knives if a larger fixed blade paired with a smaller skinning knife is suggested - More of a traditional...

      Bulk Storage

      Good evening What is the suggested methods for storage of flour, sugar and other bulk items to keep best? I have seen references of using Mylar bags and 5 gallon buckets, but I’m not exactly clear. Ideally, I would be able to access it and pull some out for use from time to time.

      Good morning Is there a preferred optimal twist rate for an 18” barrel in 223 Wylde? Majority of the 223/556 rounds that I shoot are standard. Would like the ability for more accuracy, but not really looking for a dedicated precision gun either. Thank you

      Basic Prepper Comms for Newbie

      Hello As we review our preparedness situation, I’m realizing that comms is a gap for us. If cell phones were to go down, we are a fish out of water. I’ve tried to research, but honestly I’ve managed to confuse myself more than anything. From what I can gather, my main options are GSMR or CB...

      Woodworking - Lumber Question

      Good morning A few years ago, I dabbled in woodworking. Nothing fancy or advanced, just simple items as a hobby.

      Vacuum Sealing Jars

      Hello I have a Foodsaver vacuum sealer, with the mason jar attachment. This allows you to vacuum seal jars. Does anyone use the jar vacuum sealing method? What do you seal? If I’m following correctly, vacuum sealing is not the same as true canning. So, I’m trying to understand if it does...
