    I took it as a positive in that I was hoping that meant I had a better shot at winning one as the more discerning experienced gun owners would scoff and refuse to enter. :)

    I would even take a free Hi-Point.

    Something is being inconsistently applied here. 

    Just went to cabelas.com, loaded a shopping cart up with .223 rifle ammo, .44 magnum (only handgun ammo I could find in stock) and 12 ga shotshells, got all the way to "confirming order" step and no mention of any NJ shipping restrictions.

    Now I have been ordering ammo for ~10 years and I think they have my FID on file. 

     

    Did you actually place the order?

    Because...and this was after the order supposedly went tru.

    I just checked my order history and it shows my order was canceled. You must be correct they don’t ship to Nj anymore

    I must be misremembering, but I thought Cabellas didn't ask for the FID in the past.

     

    EDITED---anyway, I just placed an order for a couple boxes of 9MM. Let's see what happens.

    Honestly I think all you had to say was Great job, hope everyone had a good time, and you wished You could be there but choose not to attend for your reasons stated which I respect. Please respect ours.

    No need to tell us what us going on, We all know,  that's all we've been hearing about for 4 months straight.

    Did I think about yes, Was I careful? within reason, Yes.

    We weren't sitting in a closed room breathing the same air, we were outside, I respected people's space and felt they did the same all around. We weren't 500-1000 deep marching down a street.

    We had a choice and choose. And yes I do hope everyone is fine.

    He just can't help himself. Even on a thread about a fun event :facepalm: what a way to go thu life.

    Ahh, thats right! they just sprout from the cloves. Maybe i'll just pull some from the fridge and see if i can get them to sprout. 

    They probably would.  But fall is the right time to plant them. Mulch them and they'll over winter just fine. Harvest by the end of June or when the first couple of row of leaves die.

    Nothing fancy. Most of it I bought it at shoprite. A friend gave me 1/2 dozen cloves she got at the Sussex garlic festival. Other then growing scapes, which are great stir fried, I didn't see any difference in head size.

    My backyard AKA White Mountians national forest. 

    Up here if a person needs a rescue (a weekly occurrence) and dosent have a hike safe card and is not carrying the 10 essentials I listed above they will be billed for the cost of the rescue. They get very expensive very fast!

    Prime example of idiots https://www.conwaydailysun.com/news/local/hikers-rescued-on-jewell-trail/article_0b868904-b17f-11ea-a0f3-9b1a9b8ea45a.html

    At 10 p.m., MacDonell again called, this time stating that he thought he had lost the trail because he did not have a light source, other than the light on his cellphone. Being approximately 1.2 miles from the Base Station parking lot, MacDonell was directed back onto the trail and with nearly 50 percent battery life, he was given instructions to continue following the trail to the Jewell Trail cut-off.

    Due to the battery life of his cellphone and the distance to the parking lot, he was told that if he and his son descended at a steady pace and did not stop, they should have enough battery power to make it down.

    At 11:30 p.m., MacDonell called 911 again with only 15 percent battery life. When his GPS location was plotted, he was still nearly a mile from the Base Station parking lot. At this point, the decision was made to go get the hikers.

    They hiked a total of .2 miles in 90 minutes?

    If it weren't for the kid, he should have been told to stay put and spend the night in the woods. Rescue would be done in the morning. What a dumb ass.

    I'm starting out easy, mostly marked trails in heavily traveled parks. But I do intend to try more difficult trails in the future.

     

     

    Water bottle, a map of the trails and the skills to read it and navigate it.

    How about bear spray?

    I don't carry it.

    Maybe if you were in grizzly bear country you would want to carry bear spray. Black bears are just big pussies. Your bag should have a built in whistle on the strap. If not, get one. If you see a bear make noise, a lot of noise

    And for the love of God, don't hang a bells on your pack. I'll make fun of you. I promise it. There's no need to announce to the bears diner is coming right up.

    As far as I can tell, there was only one bear caused fatality in NJ 

    https://www.nj.com/passaic-county/2014/10/west_milford_fatal_bear_attack_details_emerge_from_unredacted_documents.html

    Watch out for copperheads and timber rattlers; not because they are aggressive, they aren't, but because if feeling threatened, they'll try to defend themselves. But mostly what you'll see will be garter, rat and water snakes.

    Best check the laws carefully where you intend to do this. You start a fire, you are also committing yourself to hanging out until it is cold out. 

    You shouldn't leave until "you can stick your hands into the ashes."

    I'm not planning on camping but if i'm out for an extended period of time I might consider taking a rest and maybe building a small fire.

    Be aware of fire restrictions. Don't be the guy that starts a fire right next to the "no fires" signs.

    Pack a lighter, hand sanitizer and a couple of cotton balls; I just carry a lighter but I also grew up starting fires with just twigs and matches. Which in all those hikes, I never had to do.

    Are you planing on camping?

    Protection from bears? knives, camping axes, extra clothes, etc..., what is allowed, what is not?

    Don't bother with any of that.

    Since January, I've day hiked the Appalacian trail from Weiders Gap, PA to 2 miles north of Macedonia Rd, Kent, CT. I've also hiked the Highlands trail from Cornwall on Hudson, NY to the Voorhees state park, Lebanon. It's not unusual for me to be in the trails for 7-8 hours summer and winter.

    Plus a bunch of other more local hikes.

    I'm not telling all this to show you how great of a hiker I am, because I'm not, but just to give you some context.

    My "gear";

    Bag: It's is a little too small for winter. I'll be looking to replace it for something a little biger.

     https://www.amazon.com/dp/B019TT9MYM?tag=duckduckgo-d-20&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1

    I carry a pentagonia puffy, north face rain jacket, some para cord, mylar blanket, pocket knife, flashlight and headlight (extra batteries for both), extra Tshirt and socks, first aid kit, about 3k calories of nuts and power bars,  toilet paper, small mirror 

    Water--

    During the winter I can carry enough water for the day ( 2 or 3 litters) 

    Summer--I use a swayer water filter that screws right into smart water bottles and fill them  up at any nice stream.

    Shoes-

    Winter--I wear hiking shoes

    Summer--Altra lone peak trail runners.

    I’m under the impression that real gun laws apply to pellet guns, which would mean transporting it in a car without an FID is illegal, also illegal to possess on NJ soil without FID.  If I was somehow pulled over and searched and the gun was found I’d be in some doo doo or evening seen on my own property doing my pest control (squirrels) which is why I want the airgun mainly (and also for fun) I’d have an issue not being registered to own a firearm.  That was my interpretation of the laws, may be wrong, but that’s how I understood it all.

    I also plan on buying a real weapon at some point with all this nonsense going on, but would like to learn how to use a real weapon before buying, so having the FID will be needed for the future as well for that.

    The NJ laws are ridiculous.

    You don't need a FPID to own any firearm. You need it to purchase long guns. See the difference?

    Theres a couple more benefits to having an FPID but let's keep it simple. (Purchase pistol caliber ammo and transport your unloaded riffles outside the exemptions except in places where  expressly forbidden) 

     The law doesn't require an FPID to transport your firearms, either. Sorta makes sense, if you are not required to have it to own firearms, logic would dictate you don't need it to transport them.

    There is no long gun registration as we understand it. Pistols, on the other hand, by virtue of the process required to purchase them, become automatically registered.
