AB 962 requires that beginning February 1, 2011 all California ammunition sales must be face to face transactions thus eliminating the option of California residents purchasing ammunition by phone, mail or the internet. AB 962 requires that Californians purchasing ammunition complete a form with their personal information, type of ammunition purchased and a copy of their right thumbprint.
Cabelas has stated that they will discontinue CA ammunition sales on January 31, 2011. It is believed that CA ammunition prices will increase at remaining retailers.
Residents of the other 49 states should make any upcoming ammunition purchases before the end of the year if possible as ammunition manufacturers update their pricing on January 1st with price increases being the norm.

November 2010 Camping trip
I did a quick video of my latest camping trip. It got down to about 30 degrees F overnight but my Snugpak Sleeper Lite sleeping bag keep me warm as usual.
I used my Fenix HP-10 headlamp for the first time and I was really impressed. It was the first time I had used a headlamp. It was very handy to have a hands free light around camp especially when Liberty the Weimaraner decided to walk across the back of our shelter at 3AM.
The last new item I used was the Aquamira Frontier Pro Water Filter. It is cheap, small and effective. Filtered pond water tasted like bottled water. I like it because you can place it directly in a water source and drink without filling a container.

Pheasant Season 2010 - Opening Day
I went Pheasant hunting in Western Kansas last weekend and thought I would post a couple of pictures. A great time was had by all.
This is my view as a "blocker" while pheasant hunting in a cut milo field. The specs on the horizon are the "walkers" in our group.
Group photo with birds from Saturday. We got the same number of birds on Sunday with half as many hunters (29 birds each day).

Luthers Jerky
There are a few simple pleasures in life......cold beer on a hot day, a good cigar on a still summer night and Luther's Jerky. I am not affiliated with Luther's beyond being a dedicated customer. Comparing Luther's jerky with the garbage jerky sold at your local convenience store is like comparing a soy burger to Kobe beef.
Luther's is based in LeRoy, Kansas population 568. Luther's jerky is also available at various locations in SE Kansas. If you do not plan on visiting LeRoy, Kansas in the near future Luther's has a website that allows you to have the Jerky of the Gods delivered to your door. http://www.jerkyusa.com/
I recommend buying in bulk and storing in your freezer for freshness. My favorites are the hot beef jerky and the teriyaki beef jerky. Both flavors come in traditional strips and "popcorn" style. I recommend getting both as the strips are thick and meaty while the "popcorn" allow you to moderate your intake.

Mo-Rod Ruger Mini-14 Barrel Stabilizer / Accurizer
Sunflowerammo.com is the first dealer for the Mo-Rod Ruger Mini-14 Barrel Stabilizer / Accurizer! We are excited about our new relationship with Mo-Rod. We have been very successful selling the Accu-Strut but Accu-Strut has suspended production without an ETA for a new production run leaving us sold out of our inventory. I wanted our customers to have access to Ruger Mini-14 accurizing products so we expanded our product selection with the Mo-Rod.
The Mo-Rod utilizes CNC machined clamps that increase heat dispersion from your Mini-14 Barrel in addition to the amazing accurizing effects. I will have a video of the Mo-Rod installation process up next week.

Power Outage
A thunderstorm popped up last night causing a power outage at my home. I waited a few hours to see if power was going to be restored quickly. After seeing that only 10 homes were affected I determined that power was going to be off for a while so I got out my emergency generator.
I do not have my electrical distribution panel wired to accept a feed from my emergency generator so I utilize 10ga extension cords to distribute generator power to items I want to power in my home. I ran power to my freezer, refrigerator, sump pump and a light. I left my generator running overnight in case my sump pump was needed. Power was restored the next morning. I came away with the following concerns following my short power outage:
Positive
1) I had plenty of 10ga cords, of sufficient length, to distribute power. I have a 10ga 3 outlet cord end to run multiple small items like a fan and light in the same area.
2) I have a cable lock for my generator. I placed my generator outside my garage and backed my truck up to the garage. I locked my generator to the class III hitch on my truck. This set up worked well.
3) My generator started on the first pull. I test it every fall and use Sea Foam additive in the gas.
4) I have a large zero turn lawn mover so I keep multiple 5 gallon gas cans which also provide fuel for my generator.
Negative
1) While my generator is set up to power my gas fired furnace during cold weather it is not big enough to power my heat pump during the summer. It is less common to have power outages due to summer storms but I will have to consider upgrading to a large generator that will power my heat pump.
2) I do not have battery back up on my basement sump pump. It has been on my to do list but I have delayed purchase. I did replace my sump pump this winter under preventive maintenance. I had to run my generator continuously to power my sump pump. If I had battery back up, I would only have to run my generator every few hours to keep my freezer and refrigator cold and potentionally charge a sump pump battery. I am shopping for battery back up to add to my sump pump.
Nothing like a minor emergency to let you test your gear in a real life situation.

New media sucks time
I have been busy lately and neglecting my blog updates. Between YouTube, the blog, twitter and Facebook there are not enough hours in the day. We continue to add to our inventory every week.
I had a camping trip planned for this weekend to test a bunch of new gear but the weather forecast has delayed it a couple of weeks. I will do a blog entry with the results as I will have too much feedback for the YouTube videos.

ACCU-Strut LT for Ruger Mini-14/30s
I went shooting this weekend. My primary purpose, not that I need one to go shooting, was to get some groups out of my mini-14. We (Sunflowerommo.com) just started stocking the ACCU-Strut LT for Ruger Mini-14/30s. I will be fitting one to my personal Ruger Mini-14 and posting the results. The manufacturer claims a 50% to 75% reduction in group sizes on straight barrel Ruger mini-14/30s. I will be shooting my "after" groups this weekend and will post my results.

EDC Outerwear - Barbour Jackets
I always face an internal struggle when I am going to purchase a new product. I like quality products but I am somewhat frugal. Fortunately, I have had good luck finding vendors of quality products that have great sales. I also take advantage of off season sales i.e. buying coats in the summer.
One of my favorite EDC items is my Barbour Beaufort jacket. I have the optional snap on hood and snap in pile lining. I purchased mine from Arrons of Eastham (no association). The Barbour Beaufort jacket retails for $399 and they routinely have jackets for 50% off retail. Orvis sells Barbour clothing but it is rarely on sale. I have had the jacket for a few years and all I can say it that I waited too long.
The Barbour Beaufort and its variants have an waxed cotton outer shell and a cotton lining, usually in a plaid. The outer shell can be re-waxed as it ages. Barbour also offers restoration services on jackets damaged in the field or due to age. These jackets are made to be passed down to your children after you are gone. The jacket is fantastic in rain. Barbour cuts its jackets large so they can be worn over a thick sweater, sport jack or suit coat.
The removable pile lining makes the jacket wearable from approx. 65 degrees F down to 20 degrees F in total comfort. Below 20 degrees F, the Barbour Beaufort is fine for short periods of time but not extended exposure. Below 20 degrees F, I migrate to my Carhart Artic Jacket that I will praise in a later post. Fair warning, once you buy a Barbour jacket you will disappointed with warm, dry, sunny days that leaves your Barbour hanging in the closet.
Now if I can just find the Barbour International Jacket on sale!

Live Aid Money Bought Guns
