6 ARC?
Here is a series of videos about the 6mm ARC cartridge for the AR-15/M16/M4 platform of rifles. Drop your thoughts in the comments.
Opinel: The Business of not Improving Things - Critical Findings
I've owned several Opinel #8's. I have one sitting next to my keyboard as I type this. ALL of them, I use simply for cooking and eating.
The one next to me right now, the last time I used it was to slice beef summer sausage, cheese, carrots and cucumbers for my snack.
In my 72 hour bag, I have 3 HDR Rations, a 3 lbs beef summer sausage, some waxed hard cheese, hard rye crackers, a Croatian canteen/mess kit, and an Opinel #8. There is also the plastic poncho, a small ground cloth, some 550 cord and what not, but I ALWAYS have an Opinel #8 specifically for cooking/preparing food.
I am actually looking in to trying out an Opinel folding filet knife this summer, a #15 with a 5.9" blade. It's just under $30.00, I think I can set aside enough to get that by July. I've cleaned fish with a #8 before and it does the job just fine on smaller fish, but I live on the Gulf, and some of the fish I've caught have gotten quite large, that using a #8 might risk injuring myself. So I'll get a longer #15 that has a thinner and slightly more flexible blade.
But if you have never tried using an Opinel for cooking, you don't know what you are missing.
I have even given my mother an Opinel #8 with a leather case, and I told her to use it for slicing her vegetables. I don't know if she has, but I did giver her one.
Blogger is annoying me greatly at the moment.
This is why I have been spending more time horizontal for the last day and a half. I wish it would just LEAVE and take it's pressure differential with it so my joints would quit screaming.

LAWYER: If Cops Say "Hand Me Your Keys" - Say THIS (Simple Phrase) - Hampton Law
YouTube is playing around. This video was published May 15th, 2026. It is now May 17th, 2026 and it literally just showed up in my subscription list as being published.
I have lost track of how many videos by how many creators that YouTube suppresses from view, sometimes for weeks, but usually for 2-4 days.
I have well over 3,000 channels on YouTube I am subscribed to, I do NOT have enough time in the day to go through my whole list, channel by channel to see if they have uploaded a new video.
I have my preferences set to notifiy me of ALL new uploads and post by ALL of the channels I susbcribe to, yet YouTube keeps "Playing" and hiding things from not just me, but others as well.
