      Politics, hypocrites, and good people of the U.S.

      I've been away from ingo for a long while and recently felt a need to return. When I did I was surprised and also not surprised upon my return. There are, in my opinion, a lot of things that are not being addressed about our president, that if it were Obama, would have been all over the place...

      Learning About Wild Edibles

      This might seem like a weird question, but I want to ask anyway. If you were wanting to learn about wild edible and medicinal plants on YouTube, what kind of things would you want to know about them? Would you want identification and information on uses only, or would you also like to know how...

      Hide Tanning- What I've Learned So Far

      Seeing as its deer season I was thinking this might be helpful to some. I am no professional, and still doing my first one. Already I made a couple mistakes, and thought I'd share them here. 1: Fleshing- Be prepared for elbow grease. Some say a somewhat dull object is better than a sharper...

      Search by Conservation Officer?

      I was in MMSF today looking for chants when a conservation officer came through with his dog. I thought nothing of it greeted them both, and as I was about to ask him what's going on he asked what I was doing. I replied, " Im hunting chants, what are you up to? Looking for troublemakers?". He...

      Hope you all have a good day!

      As today has already been a PITA, instead of ranting about it here, I jumped online real quick to say this to my fellow INGOers. I hope you all have a good day! :ingo::patriot:

      A Fun Project

      After owning my Saiga for 3 years, I thought I would do the conversion. I thought about varieties of options but didn't find quite what I liked.

      You Get What You Ask For

      Earlier in the year, knowing I would have enough money for Christmas to buy a pistol, I had decided to upgrade my handgun collection from a cap and ball to a semi auto. There were many reasons but mainly I needed something for home defense other than a Rossi lever action. I had originally...

      .40 cal recommendations

      Okay, I'm looking for a good, reliable, .40 cal handgun for home defense purposes. Preferably within the $250-$500 range.
