Shades of "One Second After" (book)
Wingshooter replied to Jamie Jackson's topic in Survival and Preparedness
I really enjoyed One Second After. How did I not know about One Year After?! I’ll have to get it and The Final Day. i’m not really a prepper either but I am prepared -
They claim 1/2 mile range between cameras. You can place the home unit near a parking area or somewhere within 1/2ish mile from a remote camera and check the card only at the home unit without a cell plan. All the remote cameras will daisy chain together and forward all the cams pics to the home unit. The cell version works the same way except the home unit will email the pics. I’ve been testing them around the yard today. The concept is awesome, but it’s not perfect. The emailed pics are not exactly real time. They are sent in batches and are delayed from real time. It might take 20 mins or 3 hours for a particular pic to show up in my email. These cameras also don’t seem as sensitive to movement as some other brands that I have used. Overall I am happy with them, but there is still room for some improvement. The cellular Bushnell that I have in the woods now sends a pic within a few minutes, so it’s closer to real time. It’s only one camera on a plan though.

I agree. I wish there was a better option. I think it will only improve as this technology becomes more common. I just got this system. I got a “home” unit with a camera and two other “remote” cameras. I signed up for $15/mo plan. I can turn it on and off during the year without any contract. I’ll probably pay for the cell plan from about july-december. I have a Bushnell cell camera out now since about september, and it’s so exciting to get pics of a big buck at random times. It’s added a new element of fun to our deer hunting property. My latest hunting lease is 4hrs away, so I want the cell so I can get pics more often without making the drive. Next season I plan to get a KS lease, so a cell system will be a must.

This is what I have (the cell version).

Does anyone use the Cuddeback Cuddelink system? I just bought the cellular version. You can link up to 16 cameras together and have one “home” unit transmit the pics to email via Verizon cell plan. It seems to be working ok right now, but the camera makes a shutter “click” sound when it takes a pic. Anyone else use these cameras?

I’ve found a few

I was barely 2. Sure, I remember it...

The Chattanooga store has guns as well.

That must be Scotty. He’s about to get beamed up

Sheep? Lol

Any tracks around?
-
Yes it is, but it’s getting me out shooting today! I also ordered the parts to finish up my Grendel build.

I have a Keltec P3AT that I used to carry in my back pocket in a DeSantis Super Fly holster. It looked just like a wallet. I found it to be very comfortable and a very easy way to carry. My only concern was that it might eject the mag by sitting on it, although it never happened. I stopped using that setup only because my Keltec started developing some reliabilty issues, and that was my excuse to buy a G43 I tried Undertech shorts for that and never looked back. Unbelievably easy and comfortable way to carry any size handgun, IMO.

I’m not burned out, but I’ve been so busy for the last year+ with a new job, house repairs, etc. that my time has been redirected. When I do have time to go shoot, I still feel like I need to catch up on other things. I’m definitely at a lower excitement level for shooting than what is normal for me, but it’s just because i have so much going on right now. I didn’t even go hunting one time last year, and that’s really weird for me. I used to have a lot of fun with 3gun, but I haven’t even done that in a while. My work schedule will only improve as I gain seniority with my company, and the house repairs are getting complete. I look forward to getting back into 3gun. I also think I would really enjoy getting into some long-range type shooting. I haven’t done much of it, but it really interests me. I think it’s perfectly fine and normal to go through periods of low round counts. If I shot all the time, then I wouldn’t have any ammo, lol. I still enjoy breaking out the herd and petting them every now and then. Maybe I’ll hit the range tomorrow with my EDC and a good bolt rifle (maybe the .243)...

Now I feel the need for another wheel gun

What @rugerla1 said. I have also used a Thermacell a lot in the woods. I’ve had deer walk right under my treestand and around my ground blind on many occasions with no evidence that they smell it. Of course I’ll never know about any deer that may have steered clear, lol, but I’m a true believer in it for early season mosquito control.
-
Ahh, I forgot about my Henry. Nice lever gun. I have the short youth model (well, I actually got it for my son)
-
Some of my favorite guns have a little rust. None of them were $950 though
-
Thermacell is the best thing ever. I’m ready for a little cooler weather
