  1. That's all there is out here as of right now (to my knowledge). Oh and the MSSA fees are right at $690 for the first year.
  2. If you want to go the mfg route, they make a kydex sheath for their knives. You can get the options of just kydex, kydex with a molle back or molle back with a pouch. I've been reading up on these lately. I'm thinking about a ESEE-5 (RAT-5) or maybe a 4.
  3. In a pinch you could try one of two things: 1) styrofoam cooler with a small hole and the nozzle of a co2 extinguisher shoved in there. Since air doesn't retain heat/cool very well, maybe add a little water to the cooler and run the nozzle into the water. 2) Use water and ammonium nitrate (fertilizer) to create an endothermic reaction. From what I've read, the more you can dissolve the cooler the temp you can get (to a point I'm sure). Never tried either of these, but in theory it would work.
  4. I don't know that any place local carries them. Most people look confused when I say its a Vortex because they haven't heard of the company.
  5. Yep, mine has a Vortex Viper 6.5-20 x 44. Surprisingly clear for a reasonable price. It's getting an EGW bolt knob in a couple of weeks.
  6. I've gotten interested in how to sun dry/ cure food lately. What's the prep on the meat before you put it out, just salt and seasoning?
  7. Not sure what I think of this show. Just watched the last 6 episodes of the previous season, and it was alright. They should sign a waiver that allows full contact with the people they encounter or something because the pushing and shoving while you have a metal pipe/ ax / make shift bow in your hands is ridiculous. Its crazy to me they spent so much time creating a quarantine area and didn't even think to at least secure their supplies.
  8. I agree, looks pretty sweet aside from the sterile look of the place. Thought it was funny though that they were using an old school projector in a place with all that tech.
  9. Byrd, remind me about this later in the week.
  10. Watch A-team then. Hannibal yells "Contact, Rear!!"
  11. I've enjoyed my .308 SPS Tactical so far. The stock is ok for now. It will likely get replaced down the road anyway. The only thing that needs "fixing" on it and it could just be bc of my ring height, but the bolt arm needs to be just a little longer. Its kind of a tight space when cycling the bolt.
  12. Loop end is placed on an animal path to catch the animals leg or around the neck. Other end is secured to an object the animal cannot carry away. Best way that I've heard to use them is to funnel the animal down its path until the noose would be around the animals neck. Don't disturb the path. Essentially the animal will strangle itself.
  13. Bass Pro in Memphis was loading the shelves when I was there about a hour ago. Had a bunch of Win SXZ in 9, .40 and .45
  14. I like the Gerber Suspension too. The tools actually lock into place which is a nice feature to me.
  15. I have a squirrel highway in my backyard (power lines) should an alternate meat source be needed. Raccoon has never been high on my "I want to eat" list
  16. I just got a Vortex Viper last week. Not the same, but like you said, their products seem to be a good quality. That warranty is nice too. I haven't had a chance to mount it yet, but I played around with it a little freehand and it was nice and clear on all magnifications. I'd like to know how your SPARC works for you just to see the overall quality of their product lines since this is my first experience with Vortex.
  17. I've had mine for about a year now. I've had no problems out of it, but I have the standard clips. Holds my Kimber nice and secure.

    I did it...

    Nice pistol. I almost bought one of those, but ran across a used Tactical Pro II at a decent price right before ordering. Fits my hand like it was meant for me. You'll love yours.
  19. I know you don't need them now, but you mentioned Mountain House earlier. They have a heater pouch (Mountain Oven) that comes with 5 heaters in it. I found a few at Dick's Sporting Goods last summer. Their website says they still make them but I don't see them everywhere that sells the meals. They don't cost much either so maybe you'll have another option the next time you need a meal heater.
  20. Isn't there something that the hearing impaired use that is similar to the blinking light idea for when the doorbell/ phone rings? Couldn't you modify that to work with the alarm?
  21. Just my opinion, but I would look for a place to rent in East Memphis. Midtown has small houses, some of the neighborhoods aren't that great (its Memphis) and its full of hippies . Don't get me wrong its not a bad area, you'll just either feel very comfortable there or you wont (its an artsy part of town). As for jobs, that's a tough one. With a Sociology degree you could try Youth Villages, the VA, maybe St Jude or try doing a contract position somewhere until you find something better.

    Any FBI members?

    You could always try the TBI too. I think there is a location over in/around Shelby Farms (in Memphis). If you put your resume on the FBI website, you can get them to send you job openings in whatever state of your choosing (non-Special Agent positions).

    Any FBI members?

    Not part of the FBI but I read up on it before I applied. From what I was able to gather, they can take a while to respond to your application if they decide they want to interview you, there are basic physical requirements to pass (push ups, sit ups, etc) before you can be sent to the academy (the higher the score the better) and if I remember correctly, they wanted a few years of professional experience (ie "real" job) before you apply. Its been a while since I looked into it, but that's what I can think of off the top of my head.
  24. From what I can remember from going to these places... - Memphis Zoo Can't carry - Graceland Don't know - Memphis in May Seriously doubt it considering the massive security/police force - The Civil Rights Museum Don't know - Pink Palace Museum Can't carry - Peabody Hotel (the ducks) Maybe - Beale Street Can't carry
  25. Thanks for the input guys. This is just going to be an intermediate scope while I save up for something better and to get used to shooting the rifle (it came in today ). I've seen a few other reviews and most people seem to pretty happy with them. I'm not dead set on a Vortex, but I'm leaning that way the more I read on them.
