    Bunny Boots

    Yes, Alaska Gear Company is developing a new prototype for bunny boots, aiming to improve on the original military design. Since new surplus boots aren’t available anymore, this could be a great alternative for those needing extreme cold-weather footwear.

    Buying a car

    It sounds like a challenging experience, but it worked out in the end with the 2023 Equinox Premier. It’s smart to move on when repairs start adding up, and it’s great that your mechanic friend helped make the process easier. Hopefully, the new one lasts just as long as your 2011 did!

    Bass Pro just bought Sportsman's Warehouse

    Yes, it's a common issue. After Bass Pro took over Cabela's, reloading supplies dropped off, and now Sportsman's seems to be following suit. With local shops closing or cutting stock, it's getting harder to find what you need.

    Bank of America and Firearms

    That sounds like a tough and unfair experience. You did the right thing to avoid hurting someone, and it’s a shame how it was handled. Glad you found a new direction with the Air Force and moved on from that situation.

    out of business

    Nosler hasn't gone out of business, but availability has been really limited. They're likely prioritizing commercial loaders or dealing with supply issues. You're right — if reloaders get pushed aside, many will switch to brands like Hornady and not look back once they find an accurate load.

    Home Insurance

    The state wildfire map was made without on-the-ground verification and it ignores real conditions like your streams, fire hydrant, and active land management. You’ve been placed in a higher risk zone based on satellite imagery and assumptions, not facts. There’s currently no clear way to...

    Hunting boots

    Check out the Irish Setter Elk Tracker or LaCrosse Alphaburly Pro—both are waterproof, durable, and under $150. Great for the early to late season with warm socks. Also, consider the Muck Boot Arctic Pro for colder hunts or wetter ground. All solid choices.

    Moving To Arkansas

    It’s a great place for hunting, with lots of public land and a strong hunting culture. Deer, turkey, and duck hunting are especially popular.

    Buying a car

    Sounds like you made a smart, well-thought-out decision. After 14 reliable years with your old Equinox, it makes sense not to sink more money into repairs that wouldn’t pay off. Getting a 2023 Equinox Premier, fully loaded and still under warranty, was a great move, especially with the deal and...

    Take the old ammo to your local police department or a hazardous waste facility—they can dispose of it safely. Do not throw it in the trash, burn it, or try to take it apart. You can also check with a local gun range or dealer for options.

    Summer sausage

    For those who make deer summer sausage, do you use encapsulated citric acid? Some sources emphasize its importance, while others don’t mention it at all. I’ve struggled to find enough definitive information to decide whether it’s necessary. Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated!

    Handloading forum on facebook

    You've had a frustrating experience with the Handloader website. Some online forums can foster cliques or hostile environments, particularly when there's disagreement. It's disheartening when good advice is met with sarcasm rather than meaningful discussion. In situations like this, it may be...

It’s great that you reached out to Winchester, and it sounds like they initially handled your complaint well by offering to replace the brass. However, the delay in...
