Bog pod death grip on sale at psa for $119. I have this and installed a camera ball on it so it rotates much better (see youtube for vids on how to do).
Those artificial sweeteners are bad for you as well you fatties.

You can get authentic NATO jerry cans on Amazon for $119.00.


A better deal is a Midwest metal can from Harbor freight. It's 59 bucks. They are made by Valpro. And a good quality.

The gelg or about the same price and I like them a little better because they have a metal cap that closes.

If you take care of them, these metal gas cans should last a lifetime

Is it safe to vacuum seal ammo? What if you vac seal without a desiccant pack?

My wife and I both have 2019 GMC vehicles and we both bought extended warranties. Each of our vehicles were in the shop no less than 5 times for large jobs while under warranty. Since the warranties expired back in 2023/2024 we've both had major transmission work done that was not covered by warranty. Her A/C also just went out (for the 2nd time) and the dealership wants $5500 to fix it. frick GM


Moral of the story is NOT buy a warranty, but rather don't buy GM
There was probably an issue with overgrowth of vegetation in the pond and thats why carp were put in there. If you take those carp out, you might have an issue with vegetation over growth. Something to think about.
My father did. He spoke well of it. Was stationed in Miami Beach during the Vietnam war. Trying to talk my kid into joining the Coast Guard reserves. Not making much progress though lol

They sound like they have an alcohol bill that they can't pay. How would you like it if they came and parked in your backyard without permission dropping needles everywhere.
Good point. Will do. :cheers:
Cool. One thing that helps is that I have handhelds that I use and kind of run the whole hunt. I turn the thermal on the rifle on when I make a stalk or I'm about to shoot.
So mine came in and I got a chance to check it out late last night after the wife & kids went to bed... I think its going to work well. I'm used to the 384 res thermals, this is better. The field of view is great but does look decent when u zoom in. The fact that I can zoom-in with the pip feature is nice b/c this wasn't available to do this on my older 384 res thermals. It doesn't have the reticle that I have used in the past but I'll have to get used to the ones available.

I went ahead & bough a few more aps3 batteries. One problem I've had with these older pulsar thermals is that when they are discontinued and the years pass by it has become difficult / impossible to find the batteries that go in the older thermal models (for example the EPS batteries).

Gunna sight it in next week! :dude: :usa:
I say 50% of the cardinals should just identify as women. Problem solved.
Mine is coming in today. Palmetto does not have the fastest shipping, if you highlight your tracking number and just put it in Google you'll go straight to UPS or whoever is being used to ship. I think mine took less than five days.
Cool. Yeah, I went ahead & ordered it. The fact that it's reconditioned & has a one-year warranty does kinda give me pause, but I've owed 4 rifle thermals & two handheld thermals from pulsar (all now discontinued) for about 10 years and all have been rock solid.

I did have to send one in b/c I dropped it, then hand to send in again a few years later b/c one of the knobs was worn down & needed to be replaced. Both times the pulsar distributer (sellmark) only charged me like $35 bucks to fix and got it back to me in a few weeks.

Appreciate your input!
