Connecticut Preparedness 

I have a SOG multitool. I don't remember what model it is, but it's been to every camping trip with me, and been able to do everything I've needed it to do.

Well I don't have a motorized bike, but if anyone wants to do a non-motorized bike ride, I'm in.

The New Haven Century is coming up.... I've ridden it twice now - it's a really nice route.

Motorized or non-motorized?

If you want to do it all on the up-and-up, there are many backpacking shelters in various state forests: http://www.ct.gov/dep/cwp/view.asp?a=2716&q=325032&depNav_GID=1621 Permits are free - you just have to ask for them. It says to mail a letter two weeks in advance, but I've called them on...

Sort of depends on what you want. A lot of my camping gear is ALPS mountaineering. I find their stuff very solid, and not too expensive. The tradeoff is that they don't make things as lightweight as the more expensive brands. Of course, they don't make anything with a scabbard for a rifle. However, ...

Because I'm a cheap bastard, I ended up buying the first version of Sniper Elite on Steam, since it was only $2.50. I figure I'll spend many hours on that one, and then in two years or so I can get V2 when it goes on sale as well. I'm in no hurry.

According to their website, 20 years (for handguns):

PaiN, I hold a Ph.D. from Yale University. I'm about as highly educated as one can get. I hope my opinions and perceptions are not closed off. I am glad to hear that many of you have the same tactic I have - take as many people shooting as possible. Everyone who knows me knows my standard offer - I ...

Rather than hijacking other threads (sorry about that), I figured I'd just start a new discussion on this. If someone is fervently anti-gun, no amount of argument will change their mind, and stooping to their level with giant sweeping unsupported statements just fuels the fire. The people who will l...

The person involved filed a lawsuit. That is the person trying to profit from the situation. Now the Hartford Gun Club (or rather, its insurers) have to hire their own lawyers to defend themselves. This is not on the insurance company. This is not a conspiracy to make it impossible to have a place t...

John, please don't take every little thing that happens to support your claim that the evil government is trying to take away our rights. GIshooter has stated that a person, who was at the 3-gun match last year, has filed a lawsuit against the club. This is not the government. This isn't even some a...

This is why if things really went south, I'm heading for the woods I hunt in up in Maine. Of course, then my priority gun would actually be my .22. For "urban civil unrest" scenario I'm staying put in my house with my shotgun in hand until things settle down. I'd take on a band of raiders ...

I actually have no idea on the grip. It was one I picked up on eBay that I randomly saw, that happened to be close to my size (it's slightly too big).

Nvisn's post made me decide that it was high time for me to photograph my handguns. Enjoy. http://i588.photobucket.com/albums/ss330/Hermes_Huang/P1040013.jpg My entire collection. From top to bottom, Beretta 92A1, Sig P220, S&W 41, S&W 617, and High Standard Supermatic Trophy http://i588.pho...

This puts a new twist to shooting off-hand!
