Processing your own deer is easy and fun. It saves the cost of having it commercially processed, the quality of the resulting meat is outstanding and you don’t need any fancy tools or a butcher shop.

Preppers work to preserve the knowledge and skills needed to survive and prosper, no matter what the future brings. A prepper “conserves” tools, livestock, and food against the day when getting tools and food might be difficult. And any prepper worth the name, and has the space to do so, gardens.

If you want to kill ducks and geese, you’re inevitably going to get wet. It’s just part of the package. If you’re getting wet, your favorite gear is, too.

In reality, however, suppressors are common in other countries because of the vast benefits they offer shooters and hunters. Here are few common myths about suppressors.
