Building A Battery Backup Power System

After the recent power outage I had decided I would not procrastinate building my Battery backup system any longer. I had the money set aside for it for weeks but kept putting it off. While the power outage didn’t last very long it was the kick in the ass I needed. The truth is that it will take longer write this article than it did to put together the system. Like I do with most things I do I tried to find the sweet spot of cheap, easy and most bang for your buck. Lets get down to building a Battery Backup!

Last week when I went to buy my Remington 870 shotgun finally I decided I needed to buy some new hearing protection. When I was shooting at the IDPA match my cheap ones broke. I saw the Peltor Tactical 6S in the store for around sixty dollars. I had been looking at upgrading to the Peltor brand of hearing protection for a while and these seemed like a decent model. I got a chance to take them out and try them, along with the Remington and will be sharing my thoughts on them today.

The other night I was at home with a friend watching some tv. All of a sudden the power all went off. While it wasn’t off long I had a chance to use some preps and kick myself for not having others already. Let me share my experience with you today.

Why I Love R.E.I

Yesterday I got my R.E.I dividend check and it reminded me how much I love that store. For those that don’t know Rei is a sporting goods store with a focus on camping equipment and clothes. What separates Rei from the other stores out there is that it is a co-op and return the majority of profits to their members through annual member refunds based on their purchases. I just got back a $40 check for gear that I bought from there throughout the year. Let me tell you why I love being a member and why you should consider it.

Why I Hate Mainstream Media

March 20, 2013March 20, 2013 James Burnette 11 Comments

A current news story has made me snap a gasket. It’s not just the event being covered but the way in which the media has been covering it. I pretty much have never been a news fan and avoid it but in digging into this story I have become to lose even more respect towards it. Today will be a rant about my ever increasing hatred of the media but will also include my hatred of dumbasses. So stick around will I rip into some assclowns.
