Grinding up your harvest is a go-to means of turning trim, tougher cuts, and smaller muscle groups into versatile, quick, and tasty meals.There will always be debate on how much fat you should add to your ground venison. In fact, some purists don’t believe you should add any at all.

(continued from Part 3. This concludes the article.) Battery Safety If you’ve ever watched the news you’ve probably heard stories about exploding Lithium batteries in cell phones, electronic cigarettes, USB battery packs, etc. They’re all true – lithium is an extremely hazardous chemical; it’s poisonous, it’s unstable, it burns extremely fast and hot (>3500F) and it produces hazardous gas when it burns. So why is it used in all of the most common forms of battery electrolytes?

(Continued from Part 2.) Battery Drain While I briefly mentioned battery drain earlier it’s worth going into a bit more detail. Drain rate describes how fast a device uses power when a device is in operation. Examples of high-drain devices include things like digital cameras, GPS devices, portable gaming consoles, high-lumen LED flashlights, radios (when transmitting) and motorized devices like power tools. Some low-drain devices include television remote controls, wall clocks, smoke detectors, and red dot sights. Rapidly draining a battery’s charge can significantly shorten its life, so choosing the right type of battery for each type of device is…

Welcome to another episode of “Gun of the Week.” We’re on the range today with the new Chiappa Rhino 60 DS. These are just some of the most unique-looking revolvers ever made, and Chiappa has finally released a model chambered in 10 mm. This is a revolver that has a very unique design for people who aren’t familiar. Instead of the traditional revolver set up where the top chamber in the cylinder fires, the barrel has been relocated to make the bore axis lower, so it actually fires from the bottom cylinder. The idea with the whole Rhino concept is…
