PLEASE register for workshop (In the comments, please list what you plan to cook).
WHAT: Come be mentored by a Sun Oven Guru.
WHEN: August 27, noon-3pm, 2016
WHERE:
Neighborhood Park at: 2301 Western Drive, Saratoga Springs, UT 84045
https://www.google.com/maps/dir//40.3201276,-111.910001/@40.3201546,-111.9120509,17z/data=!3m1!4b1
WHY: Everyone likes to eat. Potluck if you want to. This can be recreation & preparation.
Sister Lisa Card Cox of Lehi will be the “Sun Master” for this event.
We attended her sun oven cooking class last week at the Barebones Campout at Tifie Ranch near Morgan, Utah, and she was exceptional and very informative.
If you have a sun oven, please bring it, and let us know what you are going to cook for lunch for all. We would like you to consider cooking either an entire, a dessert, or a bread in your sun oven. If you don’t have a sun oven, please consider purchasing one. Just type in “sun oven” on Google, and you will see an article that describes the top 5 sun ovens for 2016.
In the event of a grid or power loss, using a sun oven will be effective any time the sun is shining, after you have used up your propane, charcoal, and/or local wood supply. You can also go to “youtube” and learn how to construct a very effective sun oven using heavy duty aluminum foil and a cardboard box.
We are inviting ALL interested persons, whether you have a sun oven or not. Please bring all older children who might want to learn about this cooking skill. As there will be some 20-25 sun ovens cooking hot foods, this might not be an appropriate environment for small children and pets.
Be prepared to bring:
In the event of rain or a lack of sun, we will reschedule this event two weeks later so as to not interfere with the Labor Day holiday.
Please give this event wide dissemination to all local persons who might be interested.

Glock perfection is so “perfect” it has had little to no “upgrades” in the past 15 years.
Glock perfection is so perfect, that the chamber in 40 SW doesn’t need to be supported…oh wait, they do blow up in your face.
Glock is like leupold, they have little reason to innovate.
IMO, Glock is old technology. Yeah Windows XP was awesome, but now we have Linux!
There is no perfect gun, if there was we’d all own ONE gun.
Here is my list of things Glock could improve.
Pros/CONs of XDs/XDMs
XDm enhancements glock owners may enjoy.
One argument is that you have a wider selection of sub-compacts with Glock, for example the glock 43 compared to xds 9.
Please refer to this spreadsheet:
| desc | width | over all length | weight (empty) oz | capacity | overall height | estimated knock down power | cost |
| Glock 42 | 0.94 | 5.94 | 13.76 | 6+1 | 4.13 | ||
| Glock 43 | 1.02 | 6.26 | 17.95 | 6+1 | 4.25 | 450 | |
| xds 9 | 0.9 | 6.3 | 23 | 7+1 or 8+1 | 4.4 | 400 | |
| pf9 | 0.88 | 5.85 | 12.7 | 7+1 | 4.3 | 400 | 300 |
| S&W shield 9mm | 0.95 | 6.1 | 19 | 7+1 or 8+1 | 4.6 | 310 |
If operator is using the proper technique, they should never have issue with the grip safety. If they have issue, they are gripping it improperly.
Cost of magazines are favorable for the XDm ($27), same with accessories (pistolgear.com).
My PERSONAL preference is XDm 1st, M&P 2nd, glock 3rd. If the M&P had a grip safety & ambi mag release, I might switch. But then I’d have to fix all the triggers on the M&P. I believe M&P 2.0 has “fixed” their trigger issues (at least the ones I’ve shot/handled).
The glocks are more work and most serious shooters upgrade the barrel, trigger & sights….costing at least $300 per system.
I would bet my life all 3 of these systems….and I OWN all of these systems.
Recently, we did a “workshop” to watch this product demo’d at my friends house.
This is a new…but proven product that allows you to switch the electricity coming in from the GRID to a 2000,3000, 4000 or 9300 watt generator!
Installing “homerun” on my home:
More details:
http://www.myinpower.com/
NOTE: The group buy is OVER, but we have a few extra units for sale. We got a group buy discount and their price is going up! so don’t wait too long!
Currently, you may buy an extra homerun for $650. May the price is going up to $700.

Thomas takes NO PAYMENTS for this. I’m simply compiling a list of those interested in a “group buy/pre-order”.
Please watch some of the videos, so you understand how robust/simple this device is. Once installed, anyone can cut-over to the generator to run your home furnace “blower”. (without the blower, your furnace can’t move the warm air. A gas heater isn’t very effective w/o a blower.
Depending on how many watts your fridge/freezer draws, you can also run your freezer to prevent from spoiling hundreds of dollars of meat and other vital food items.
Old people may also require cooling as a life-safety issue.
To say I’m a big supporter of TheSurvivalPodcast (TSP) is not to fully express my passion for supporting this community. TSP has been life changing! No more “panic preps”, but systematic & life-preparedness for if things get tough or even if they don’t. LIFE HAPPENS! Foundational money management, resource investment, cost savings on food storage, water storage, etc etc. From guns to gardening.
I’ve listened to over 1750 TSP episodes that avg about 90 minutes or more EACH.
So, I was thrilled to hear Jack Spirko talk about Liberty Fox Defense in his podcast!
100,000 + podcast listeners heard about libertyfoxdefense!!!!

OBJECTIVE:
Store rain for an automatic chicken watering system.
I installed my rain barrel onto the back deck for gravity advantages. This aids in function stacking, for example I can daisy-chain several water barrels together if needed, water my garden, or in a pinch filter the water for drinking (more likely washing or cooking).

Guess what fedex delivered recently?
I ordered it a couple of months ago, CMP finally processed it!
Too bad we can’t get m14/m1a; there are 100,000s of those just rotting cuz of “politicians”.
Yep, a CMP m1 garand! Welcome to our family/home!

It was the first standard-issue semi-automatic military rifle.[5] Called “the greatest battle implement ever devised” by General George S. Patton,[6] the Garand officially replaced the bolt-actionM1903 Springfield as the standard service rifle of the United States Armed Forces in 1936 and was subsequently replaced by the selective-fire M14, starting in 1957. During World War II, the M1 gave U.S. forces a distinct advantage in firefights against their Axis enemies, as their standard-issue rifles were more effective than the Axis’ slower-firing bolt-action rifles. The M1 continued to be used in large numbers until 1963 and to a lesser degree until 1976. Like its predecessor, the M1 originated from the Springfield Armory. Today, the M1 remains in use for drill purposes.

Man, this makes one proud to be an American! Excellent engineering! Rifleman demanding an awesome system.
Lots of pros, a few cons (tactical reloads…not so much).
Takes you back to a simpler, more moral time in our history. Back when we were not a war-party.
I wish our granddaddy’s were still around, we would refuse to be “governed, by the consent of the people” and get rid of all these weasels. No more consensual assault by weasels.
What is ironic is, to get a pea-shooter like an ar15, you have to go through an FFL, but one of THE most powerful rifles on the planet, can be shipped right to your house…no FFL.
Somehow that makes sense in the govt-mind.
My buddy BuggetNuster is in the video. He lives around the corner from me; he wears my holster I made him…almost everyday.

so, now we need a sling, some “professional training” on how to run an m1 garand…and some mileage.
My 17y son suggested we put it over the mantle/fireplace for a while; to welcome it into our family. The Hawkins 1820 54 cal. will have to go into the safe for a while.
He asked, how much more does this weight…over my ar15? I said, about twice as much 😉
Seems to be in good condition, but has some deep marks in the stock.
This is the next piece for my “Freedom Rifle” display.
I only need a couple more to complete my American Freedom Rifle collection (sorry, no m1 carbine or other silly systems). Only Rifleman rifles from each major era.
Next one will be from the first revolution; late 1700s RIFLE and or a 1903.
can you tell I’m excited!

gunblast jackass…at his “best”…AKA worst(Rule1 & Rule2 violations…ongoing). good sampling of shotshow though.
clearly these “professionals” don’t follow the “ALL guns are ALWAYS loaded!”, NEVER allow the muzzle to cover anything you are not willing to destroy!
a quick blurb about the ruger suppressor on rangeday.
I’ve had several people ask for my input on precision rifle(s).
I’ve owned a few precision rifles. Some I’ve tuned to ⅓ MOA (so ⅓ of an inch at 100 yards). Bolt guns, gas-guns, mostly 308.
These systems need to be purpose built. What are they going to be used for?
Personally, I built my “precision rifle systems” for precision rifle training and end of times fantasy. Match grade ammo can be expensive, so do your learning on a 308. Then you can upgrade from there.
When shooting a 308 all day, it helps to have a heavy barrel & heavy system. Not to mention your HB helps stay consistent on follow up shots/groups.
The systems I built/tuned have excelled in precision rifle classes. I’ve tried to use them for hunting & its not so much fun carrying such a heavy gun into the field.



Rem 700 5r rifling 308 with the HS precision stock. These are highly recommended by Precision rifle instructors. Many of my buddies have these and this was my first precision rifle.
You may notice, no bi-pods? I’m a bag shooter. I just use my field bag. I own the overpriced harris bipods, but they have been collecting dust for years!
This rifle shoots better than I do! When I do my job, its ⅓ MOA. The barrel doesn’t foul much…if ever. Guys without the 5R and without the “precision lapping” are constantly cleaning their barrels in Precision Rifle classes I’ve taken. I’ve seen it. Their groups start opening up and they clean and clean. I shot mine all 4 days w/o cleaning it in several precision rifle classes.
I’ve looked down the barrels of many rifles with a medical grade “scope”. None have looked better than the 5R!
I HIGHLY recommend this cheek riser:

I MIGHT consider selling my RRA 308, then purchase a Ruger Precision Rifle.


http://www.slickguns.com/search/apachesolr_search/rra%20308%2026%22
RRA 26” HB 308 ar10
I chose this system mostly because of the magazines were quality, plentiful & inexpensive compared to other systems. Since purchasing my RRA; Magpul came out with a pmag for DPMS compliant ar10s. Had I known that, I would have selected a DPMS compliant ar10.
I’m currently building a DPMS compliant ar10, but it will be a “run & gun system” of 18” medium barrel.

Q: IF I WAS STARTING FRESH/NEW, what precision rifle system would I select?
A: If I didn’t already have several precision rifle systems, I would purchase the Ruger Precision Rifle for several reasons.
