    Movie Theater What's your favorite Tom Cruise movie?

    Movie Theater Screen time for little one, while he's weaned off entirely

    Check out the PBS Kids app - Daniel Tiger & Curious George FTW It also helps to set time limits. Hour a day or whatever.

    Hide shipping and responses

    Stuff happens. I'd give him a couple more days. As a seller I've been in the same boat - I think I'll be able to ship something tomorrow, and then I get slammed with projects at work or home, and then the post office is closed by the time I get off work, or I find that I've run out of packing...

    New Garmin Foretrex 701 with Applied Ballistics!

    I think the 701 is replacing other methods because it's compact, rugged, and simple. Strap it on your wrist and it does only what you need it to do.

    New Garmin Foretrex 701 with Applied Ballistics!

    My recommendation is to get well versed with land nav and use a map & compass in conjuction with the 701. That way if your batteries go dead you're not SOL. Using a map and the coordinates given to you by the 701 you can plot your location in about 15 seconds.

    New Garmin Foretrex 701 with Applied Ballistics!

    You use pre-loaded waypoints, or breadcrumb trails to navigate. It just doesn't have streets or land boundaries like a typical vehicle mounted or phone based GPS. The GPS will tell you precisely where you are, but you have to translate that coordinate to a paper map. This style of GPS is a tool...

    Fieldcraft Field/Tactical/Combat Pant

    I bought a pair, and liked the style, but never ended up wearing them because they just didn't fit right. I'm tall and they're cut for your average build guy.

    Fieldcraft Field/Tactical/Combat Pant

    I haven't vetted them completely yet, but so far I'm really liking my pair of Fjallraven Keb Trousers for outdoor/shooting activities. Durable fabric, freedom of movement, and the ability to open them up and vent when it's hot. They're not cheap though...

    Fathers- what's a good tactical diaper bag? haha

    I have 4 kids under the age of 6. Keeps things minimal. For short excursions just throw a couple diapers, wipes, diaper cream, and grocery sacks into a large Magpul Daka pouch, or maybe a LAPG Tactical Baby Bag ($24) - in fact I just keep this stuff in the car at all times. For all day outings a...

    Thinking about sticking with .308 vs. 6.5, am I crazy?

    My opinion is that there is no wrong choice - If you love .308, by all means shoot it and have fun! If you want to get a 6.5CM and give it a try, why not? If you end up not liking it, you can shoot it until you need a new barrel and go back to .308, or just sell the barrel and get another .308...

    Add REI to the List of Companies to Boycott

    So I think the only reason REI made this stupid decision was because someone made a petition about it, calling them out: https://www.thepetitionsite.com/565/305/346/tell-rei-to-drop-vista-outdoor-products/ They got just under 18,000 people in the USA to sign the online petition. I think we...

    Best flashlight

    _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ In all seriousness though. I have a Fenix PD32 that works great, and the PD35 is even better. Would recommend.

    Gunsmithing Need new calipers

    I loathe digital calipers because of the 3 different shops and labs I've worked in, the stupid batteries are always going dead, and the tool is completely useless at that point. Taking an extra 3 seconds to read a dial is always faster than picking up a caliper with a dead battery, and then...

    Waterproof warm jacket/pant

    Where abouts are you located? I subcontracted for a company in the Denver area doing that same thing a few years ago. We were doing mercury emissions testing out in Evansville, IN. For as dirty as power plants are I'd throw out everything I already recommended and get something cheap that I...

    Waterproof warm jacket/pant

    Shanerbanner10: That combo would be awesome. Just be aware of all the different SL, LT, AR, SV acronyms. SL= Super Light, LT= Light, AR=All-Round, SV=Severe. Generally they're all pretty similar but the face fabric towards the SV end tend to be more tough and durable. Not sure what type of work...
