@@practicalcivilian3259 Thanks, Friend. Turned out real nice. 🤓👌

@@SigogglinJack I saw the price and was not sure, but it was like a dollar a stake, and that helped out things in perspective. 🤓

@@1873Winchester That's what I read too, and luckily my stuff is not boiled. Takes a few days to fully dry. 👍

"1/2x28mm linear compensator" in ebay. I have like 5 of these, with three more on the way. I have replaced every A2 Birdcage on my ARs, and used these on my Sub 2000, Taurus TX22, and now this Dagger. Would, and have, recommend. 👍 www.ebay.com/itm/265351609122?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=5W6l-D0kTIO&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=C6PT51UMQGS&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

If you get it for your Dagger, let me know if you have had feeding issues too. I imagine mine just needs to be worked in a little more to become reliable.

@@OutsideTheTargetDemographic that would be my guess is that once it’s broken in, it “should” be fine.

@@michaelnasser8697 It is a not-small amount of weight, being added furthest from the pivot point, of the dropping barrel locking system. The more the copper finish wears off the barrel, the smoother it might run. 😭

Palmetto State Armory is trying to make quality firearms at an affordable enough price that everyone could get into their 2A rights. Check into them, they will be running an Independence Day sale this week. OMG, YES. The grip is SOOOO much better, as if it were ACTUALLY designed to be held by human hands. Tbf, in the 1970s, Glock prob was limited on capabilities and polymer formulas, being 50+ years ago. I've been holstering this gat around the house and yard, and everytime I draw it...man does it fit the hand well. Quickly moving up the ranks of "favorite handgun". 🤓

@@OutsideTheTargetDemographic outstanding! Thanks for the info, I really appreciate it ole buddy.

Hi Friend! I don't remember if I made a video on it. My base model Forester did not have any protection on the firewall, so I did have to do my firewall. If you have any dark fabric already on your firewall, I don't know that you can add over it. That said, first I cleaned the whole firewall with rubbing alcohol. Then, I cut a sheet or two of the Noice sound deadener sheets (seen in episode one of my noise deadening series) into 1/8 sheet strips, and put that strips anywhere where if I tapped the metal, the metal was loud. Meaning, if I tapped a thin part of the metal, it would make noise like if I tapped the backside of a cookie sheet. If I tapped metal and it was quiet, like tapping a steel pipe, then I didn't bother with the Noico. Next, I used the $14 roll of 10mm insulation foam (Temu, best seen in the "door" episode of my ND series), cut strips of about 4 inches wide, and basically tiled the firewall, making additional cuts to allow for the tubing and connectors and all. I'd say I had maybe 20% coverage for the Noico (to prevent noise from being made), and maybe 80% coverage of the insulating foam (to mute any noise from being transferred through the firewall). I absolutely recommend doing it. It won't look pretty, as it will be piecemailed together, but 1) who's going to ask to see under your hood? 2) it allows you to keep most of the engine noise out of the cabin. 3) it allows you to keep most of the road noise from transferring through your strut towers. 4) it helps keep the engine HEAT out of your cabin, as the insulating foam not only blocks sound energy but also thermal energy Hope that helps!

@@OutsideTheTargetDemographic That's very helpful, thanks! But just a second. On which part of the firewall did you apply this? On the engine side? Also, how did you get to that side? Wouldn't the engine be in the way?

@@ToniML200 Everything I mentioned was on the engine side. My final video of the series shows what I did to the firewall on the inside/cabin side. The engine, and like seven houses and tubes, were in the way. Hence why I did not use a single sheet of foam, but opted to cut it into 4-6 inch wide strips, and applied where I could. Too thin of strips and the adhesive mat not stick well enough. Did what I could. 🤷

@@ToniML200 If you check my most recent "Community Post", I @ed you with pictures of my firewall. Sometimes pictures tell you everything you need. 👍

@@ToniML200 Between all the things I did to my car, my uncalibrated cellphone decible meter app said I was averaging about 70dB while driving to work, and the actual decible meter now reads around 52 dB at 65mph on Cleveland "maintained" roads. Night and day difference.

They did a good job on their quality and options. I'm excited for the next build.

Funny, how now "EDC" is a marketable thing, when humans have had to carry objects like stone knives, belts, and staffs, for hundreds if not thousands of years. We really do like to think we are special.

40+ years old, and still working, I imagine. Thanks for the story. 🤓 I bought a Spartan on camo for my son, before he was born, while in Germany. When he is of age, he will get a tool that will help him adapt his world to him.

Very impressed so far. Would not hesitate to recommend. 👍

A couple of railroad ties with old tires behind it. Police approved. I also have 1 foot rebar spikes spiking out from in between the rails, to act as steel gong hangers. Between steel and paper plates, balloons, and clay pigeons, we have fun out there. 🍻

If you drive a reliable car, odds are other people drive that same car. Around here, a not-small ratio of people have Subarus, and the Outback is one of their best sellers. The color absolutely makes a difference, especially in the dusk/dawn/night. 🤓

The size varies, as it is more of a "water reservoir" than a pond. It isn't very big, and I know video doesn't always do size/distance justice. "Stunted bluegill". What do you mean by that? They seem to be both physically larger and in larger numbers than when we threw them in. Do bass do well in stagnant water? The water is clean enough to have salamanders around the rim, but there are no currents or flows.

@@OutsideTheTargetDemographic stunted refers to over populated and very small. That tends to happen when another species do not keep their numbers in check. I think there is a hormone that fish emit that stunts their growth. Running water dilutes the hormone, stagnant allows it to concentrate. The pond looks healthy, bass would do fine. Just keep the numbers low.

@@heronthere Shiny, thanks, Friend. I freely admit I am ignorant on this, so any insight is appreciated. I'll look into largemouth bass. 🍻

@@OutsideTheTargetDemographic you did good letting the bait fish and vegetation establish before adding the predator fish. It will result in a much more balanced pond. Most people lack that patience.

Thanks, Friend. I originally thought the "compact" was a Glock 19 equivalent, and the "full size" was a Glock 17 equivalent, making buying the "correct slide" a concern, but after getting the three pack, I better understand what the website did not make clear. Thought I would pass the info along. More videos to come. 🤓

Also, thanks for the sub! 🤓

I did. Our mechanic did a leak test, recharged it, and Co firmed no leak. $160. Welllllll worth it. This recall *could* have reimbursed me, but my car wasn't effected by the recall.

Hi friend! Thanks for the comment/compliment. I did this a few months ago, but as I recall, only the manual transmissions will have a T70, the CVT transmission uses a different drain and all. In the manual setup, the front differential uses the same oil reservoir as the front diff. SOOOOO, when you drain the T70 torx fitting, and refill with gear oil, you just did BOTH the front diff AND transmission. 👍 The T70 drains the old gear oil out, and then you refill the tranmission/front diff with new 75W90 gear oil, checking the dipstick until you get it full enough.

It's so freaking handy. Everyone I show it to at work says they want one. I have yet to find a bit I need that is not included in this kit. HF must be making good returns on this offering. 👍

@@OutsideTheTargetDemographic I use for working on X-ray and CT machines and all my co-workers see it and want one too. Considering that equipment ranges from industrial high voltage to micro electronics you can imagine we are always trying to find ways to lighten our tool kits

Great choice. You spend a not-small amount of time in your car, 5 days a week. Might as well enjoy it. Less rain, snow, traffic, distractions, and wind noise, with better sounding music, phone calls, and a way to better ignore the family when you sit outside your house in the driveway reflecting on your life choices. 😅

Sounds like your has more "character" than mine. 👍 You could try Victorinox's lifetime warranty repair, send it in and they should replace the scales, scale tools, and sharpen/lube it. Or, ebay has any color scale you'd want.

I do not have a "pre" reading for my 2018 Base model Subaru Forester, but my after, with a decible meter, at 65mph highway speeds, is 52dB. It ABSOLUTELY makes a NOTICEABLE difference. My Forester cost about $300 in material and maybe 12 hours of learning and doing. My video series on the forester shows you how to do it, what to use, and where. The sound insulating foam also acts as a thermal insulator, keeping your AC in the car longer, and keeping the heat OUT of your car longer. It is the single best thing I have done to my car. 🤓

Good get! Yeah, for being chea---AFFORDABLE, they are of surprising quality. 😁👍

It works quite well, I've used it maybe six times, in awkward places far from a wall outlet. Difficult to set up a tripod under a car's dashboard, so no footage. Think of this video as more of a "unboxing/features" video.

It's a nice little go getter, either right into town, or on the other side of a snowy mountain, into town. 👍

The more you flex it, the more it gives, but then you just add another drop every few months. 👍 Clear so it doesn't draw attention.

It was five years old, and 75k miles of usage. I suppose it got tired or a miniscule leak over that time. The mechanic said he did a UV leak test, then recharged and re-leak-tested it, and it was all sealed up. Kinda odd, but it's been ice cold since. 🤷

Mine was not effected by this recall either. 👍

No, SUBARU made it so easy! I have a coworker with a new Chevy Trek, her LED headlight went out after 7,000 miles, and it is on a six month backorder, and costs $1600!!! Subaru keeps it basic, functional, and serviceable. 👍 Also, thanks for the compliment. 🤗

I was trying to figure out how to slow the hinge, and figured on this solution. Good to know others found the same means! 🤓 It's clear, too, so it doesn't draw attention.

@@OutsideTheTargetDemographic Another thing to try, floor polish. It works GREAT!

@@yetanotherspuart3993 Interesting. I suppose you'd have to buy it by the quart or liter or something?

@@OutsideTheTargetDemographic Yes have had container, maybe a litre now for 3 years to fix joints and things. Obviously it does not help on a utility belt. But it is a little easier to work with them super glue, especially on toys that are supposed to move.

Like, two people, four times, at work have LACERATED themselves to the point of having to go to the ER. I offer them super glue. They laugh at me. The next day, hundreds of dollars and hours of waiting later, what did the ER use? Super glue. Fire starter, medical applications, repairing things, hinges, clear coat, getting high, all thanks to super glue. 🤣

This bike has put many smiles on my face. She'll be in tip top running shape soon. The styling is so appealing, not "over the top angular and angry" like modern trash. Utilitarian and functional. Thanks for sharing. I'm sure thousands have fond memories or similar bikes. 🤓

Thanks, Friend. It's coming together.

Yeah, that seems neat. Large and pricy for me, but the philosophy is the same. 🤓 Yours is probably much brighter and carries further than mine. Is it keychain-able?

The family is doing OK, I like to think I finally broke my kid's spirits, as they have REALLY started listening and being productive in the last month. It's weird. But I'll take it. 🤓 How are things on your end? Probably colling down a bit?

@@OutsideTheTargetDemographic Weather cooling down. Politics heating up. Country dead. Stay safe, let no one near your family my friend.

@@yetanotherspuart3993 Weather heating up (28C today, and muggy/high humidity). Politics are a circus, but they have been for the last few years. Country is dying, economically and morally, but we have persevered before. I have a lead accelerator with 17 arguements on board most days. Getting to my kid will cost you dearly. 🤗

@@OutsideTheTargetDemographic Stay safe. Your country might survive. We are now Chyna 2.0. I am ready for my funeral I guess. Nothing else I can think of doing.

@@yetanotherspuart3993 I'm admittedly ignorant on Australian politics. Care to share what's going on?

If you have a 12V recepticle in the trunk (1997 might be too early for that), you can wire a plug, with a switch, and boom, light-when-I-want-it lighting. 👍

I've learned from my father and TH-cam how to do, and save on, a great many things. I like to add to the community of DIYers. Also...sadly...anymore...there is a not-small number of people who only have TH-cam as the option, as the father is absent. Plus most things, even with cars, are crazy simple. More time consuming than anything, but turns out to be much faster and less headache than planning to drop it off at a stealership and having THEM mess it up. 😅

I suppose it would. Nice angle and serrations to that knife, probably cuts thicker cloth material with ease.

Nice box opener, very difficult to cut the item I the box when the blade is dull and rounded at the tip. Kinda over....kill...though.🤓

@@OutsideTheTargetDemographic box opener? Are we talking about the same knife here 🤔😄

@@michaelnasser8697 Yeah, the serrated gutting tool. It would prob gut a cardboard box too. And prob get you a few raised eyebrows around the office. 🫠

@@OutsideTheTargetDemographic oh, now I got ya, lol. I was talking about cutting seatbelts in an emergency and you went to cutting open cardboard boxes 😂

@@michaelnasser8697 Ummm, yeah, it would probably slice right through thicker material like a seat belt. Huhh. 🤔
