Mini 14 vs Saiga 7.62x39 I considered both and made the choice to get a saiga. For the reasons you mentioned. Reliability is my number 1 factor in choosing between two weapons. The most reliable wins every time. I decided not to convert the saiga, but instead to install a custom vented railed forearm a side rail scope mount for a red dot, and a tapco t6 intrafuse pistol grip stock. Another thing that can be done, and I plan to do is install a bullet guide from dinzag arms. And another big plus is, its a true russian AK, made in Russia the izmash factory, qwhere kalishnakov still works. I'd wouldnt trade my saiga for anything else in 7.62x39. survivalbiz.com Surviving Survivalism: Free for Everyone | Self-Sufficiency (Before It's News) Just a quickie for you today.

Survival Gear Review | Your source for the latest survival info and gear reviews. Homemade MREs For quite a while now, I've wanted to make up my own "MREs" for my Get Home Bag (GHB). I was recently out scouting some properties, and realized that my GHB only had some packs of tuna and some candy in them. I had broken my own Cardinal Rule - If you use it, replace it immediately. So, I went about making up some MRE packages. I assembled my "ingredients" based on "Best By" date, calories and protein content. The idea was to put long-life food together and vacuum seal it in a FoodSaver bag. For my first MRE, here's what I included - It includes: One individual serving of Beef-a-roni, 2 ounces (by weight - about 1/2 cup) of dry roasted peanuts, one pack of Land-o-Lakes French Vanilla cappuccio, one Promax energy bar, 4 pieces of Jolly Rancher hard candy, and utensiles (plastic spoon, knife and 2 napkins). Since the peanuts were loose, I wanted to separate them in the pouch. I then filled that with the peanuts and sealed it. Here are the stats - Here's the result - Times have changed!

You can be a moral coward and subject yourself to the will of a criminal, however I will suffer no such victimization. @jodark It's not cowardly to leave and certainly not morally cowardly to leave if there is an intruder in your house. Unless you were a soldier or a police officer, you have probably not faced a life or death situation, and frankly, you are likely not equipped to fight back adequately.
4 Ways Breast-Feeding Saves Money Wise Bread Picks I breast-fed my son exclusively for the first six months of his life, and then I supplemented his meals with some homemade baby foods. For his first twelve months, most of his food was breast milk. Breast Milk Is "Free" I never knew how much baby formula cost until I started to look at baby products during pregnancy. Breast-Feeding Equipment Is Tax Deductible As mentioned in the previous section, you do have to buy breast pumps and other breast-feeding equipment if you intend to store your milk. Breast-Fed Babies Are Sick Less Often There are numerous studies that show that breast-fed babies are less likely to experience Sudden Infant Death Syndrome and other childhood diseases. Health Benefits to Mom There have been numerous studies that show that moms who breast-fed for six months had less chance of developing diseases such as reproductive cancer and diabetes. Breast-feeding is a very personal choice, and it does not work out for everyone for many reasons.
Home | Industrial Revolution What a New Baby Really Needs Wise Bread Picks Babies are big business. Nobody wants to be a bad parent, so there is great pressure to be sure you have not just the essentials, but the best essentials for your new baby. If you're a first-time parent, you have no experience to guide you. Well, I'm here to tell you different. My fourth child is scheduled to make her appearance in just a couple of months. A Place to Sleep A decent crib, a good mattress, and enough bedding to keep baby comfortable are essential. Salespeople at the Big Baby Box Store will scare you with talk of scoliosis and try to get you to buy the premium mattress for your crib. As far as what to put on the mattress, keep it simple. A Place to Play For the first several months of your baby's life, mobility won't be an option for him. The caveat on this is when your baby does start to get mobile. Before you buy, test out what your friends have; go have a play date and put your baby in your friend's swing. A Way to Travel Clothes Diapering Supplies
27 Tactics You Can Use Today to Take Better Risks Problem: We’re pre-conditioned to avoid risk even though we deal with it on a regular basis. As a result, we do poorly when forced to make a risky decision because we’re totally unprepared. Solution: If we engineer small risks in our lives on a daily basis, we can become better equipped to deal with bigger problems as they arise. I love taking risks. I wasn’t always like this. Why are we normally so uncomfortable taking risks? The Decision Computation The human mind doesn’t like unknowns. For most of us, that’s a problem because this part of the equation is controlled by our amygdale—the Lizard Brain. This is the end of the line. The solution, then, is to trick your brain into plugging the right numbers into the decision computation. Think of your brain as a big lottery machine filled with losing numbers (like most real lottery machines). The game is rigged against you, but you have the power to turn the odds around. The Education Barrier This is urgent. What’s the worst that would happen?
