This rifle takes everything good about the former variants (Remington autoloaders like the 740/7400) and combines it with all the fixes for their shortcomings.  Perhaps if this rifle had been around when the BAR became the standard semi-auto hunting rifle, it could be the one on top of the game.  It’s good enough with the

Knives are an important part to the off-the-grid lifestyle and can be game-changers in a survival situation. If you were to ask any survivalist or hardcore “bushman” which items they would never be found without, without a doubt one of their top two items would be a knife. But what if you are an aspiring

Self sufficiency isn’t a singular action; rather, it’s the combination of many actions with good integration in planning and execution.
