I agree with that prognosis. The capacity to grow and hunt your own food is never a bad thing in such times…

That's what I'm afraid of…both sides of the border the amount of people that would rather be taken care of by the government rather than INSIST on taking care of themselves as much as possible is sickening. And they’ll take care of us…at the cost of personal autonomy and liberty. And that's...

A similar strategy I see to what they're doing up here now. Capital gains tax reform as a proposed solution to how ****ing expensive bloated liberal governments are. EVEN BEFORE COVID Justin Trudeau's government spent more money they didn't have and incurred more debt for future generations to...

From north of your border, I’m afraid the same kind of people are saying that about Trudeau. Reminds me of a book title I saw a while back from an American author that I’d like to read some time, sounds interesting 🤣

Yup makes sense. This whole conversation piqued my interest and it is indeed interesting, the different “peak” ages for different disciplines. Olympic weightlifters max strength is on average at 25, powerlifters is 34…and according to the source I found the average age over the last 50 years...

That’s cookin! I could only get the 100 tsx to 3500 or so with imr 7828 in my 24 inch. But I was able to get the 100 Nosler ballistic tip to 3700, again with 7828. 75 grain hammer to 4150 with rl17. Got some Berger 115s I haven’t experimented with and may never use, might just save the...

That could very well be but in a lot of ways I'm less physically active then I was then so I don't think that's all of it. And for sure I'm not talking about athleticism, that's a different ball game from raw strength. I just mean the ability to pick up something stupidly heavy and awkward and...

I’m not even remotely old but I will add, I don’t know where the idea that a man peaks between 18 and 25 even comes from. Maybe for how hard they can party and get away with it 🤣. But I know I am MUCH stronger now in my 30s than I ever was in my 20s let alone as a teenager. And most of the...

I was under the impression that at least Winchester, hornady, and federal all made their own brass. Browning is just rebranded Winchester (there’s browning brand ammo now) Barnes ammo I beleive is the same as Remington brass. Not a clue about some of the others

That’s entirely too much information!!!! 🤣🤣🤣

Hahahah that reminds me of something a little over 10 years ago when my dad still farmed and I was in college…well one summer day me and my friend were at the farm and were helping him shovel out grain bins, the old school flat bottom kind. At that point he was 63 and my friend and I were 20...

Talk to @scope-eye about this…he’s done lots of that kind of thing

The 240 Gibbs has long intrigued me

Didn’t Jesus say something about this? A parable? “Why do you seek to remove the speck from your brother’s eye when you have a 40 grain copper plated lead round nose embedded in your own?” 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Another idiotic thing I heard about second hand from my auntie: She knew a guy in her youth with circular scars in each cheek that happened when, under the influence of much alcohol and the stupidity of being in one's late teens or early twenties, he convinced his drinking buddy to try putting...
