Best Edmonton Area Gun Ranges
I see this question come up often enough that I thought I’d write a quick article with some pros/cons to each range. Edmonton has 2 indoor ranges inside the city and 2 large outdoor ranges outside of the city. I belong to both CHAS and SPFGA and generally prefer outdoor ranges for the long range,…

Importing a Toyota Vanguard
Time for another off-topic post! I’m writing this because there’s not a lot of good information on this vehicle. I needed a vehicle to replace my well loved but aging and rusting, 2003 Dodge Caravan. Why import a right hand drive JDM to Canada? Because the used car market is pants-on-head retarded right now and…

A look back on 2023 and a look forward to 2024
2023 was a busy year for me. 2023 by the numbers Publishing videos on alternative platforms To put it plainly, the YouTube competitors aren’t getting any traction. Playeur, Rumble, Odysee, Bitchute, and Juxxi only make up for 2-5% of the total views I’d get on a video vs the 95-99% on YouTube. I’ll still auto-populate…

150 vs 170 grain for 30-30 Winchester
30-30 Winchester used to be the most popular deer cartridge in the earlier part of the century but its popularity has decreased as we’ve been getting more powerful cartridges in more accurate platforms. But if you’ve still got a Marlin 336 or Winchester 94 in 30-30, you might be wondering whether 150 or 170 grain…

Propane vs Butane for Camp Stove
Some trailers and RV’s have an external propane hookup for an outside propane stove. Mine did not but I had a cheapo $20 butane stove and I wondered if butane could do the trick for me? Long ago, we used to use white gas stoves. Those were eventually ditched in favour of the iconic green…

Pop-Up Camper Upgrades
I picked up a tent trailer (called a pop-up trailer or pop-up camper in the US) for hunting, Mapleseed, and family camping. It’s fairly new (2008) but I still found a few things I wanted to upgrade and I’ll include those upgrade ideas below. Want my packing checklist? Right here. Use case: I don’t go…

Van camping at ranges
Note: I wrote this initially in late 2020 but didn’t publish because I didn’t finish. I wanted to publish in case anyone was looking at a SUPER basic retrofit to make a minivan more viable for camping/overnighting. More current updates at the end. 2021 Setup For 2021, I did a lot of range camping for…

Zastava M57 Review
The Zastava M57 is a semi-automatic 7.62x25TT pistol from Serbia/Yugoslavia that’s based on the Soviet Tokarev TT33. It uses a longer grip than a typical Tokarev and can fit 9 rounds in the longer magazine. While this is a 1957 variation on a 1930s design, they’re still in production! With a C-prefix on the serial,…

Common Mistakes that New Gun Owners Make
I thought I’d write a quick little article on some common mistakes that many new gun owners make so that I could prevent others from following the same path. I’m going to avoid the legal and safety issues that new gun owners need to learn, because that would be a whole article on its own.…

Cheaper Glock Alternatives in Canada
Glocks are expensive in Canada. A Gen5 Glock 17 will go for $850, and if you want the red dot ready MOS version, they’re $950! So I thought I’d put together a list of Glock alternatives, their current retail prices (Sep 2020, only guns that were in stock), and some thoughts on them. Right now,…
