Javelina are one of the most underappreciated of all our big game species. Their unique history and physical features spark curiosity from hunters and other wildlife enthusiasts. What is not to like about a native pig-like critter that ekes out a living in dry, cactus-dominated Southwestern landscapes?They are incredibly interesting native animals that can be hunted at times when other big game seasons have closed for the year.

Back in 2016, the organizer for a local church’s senior citizen ministry approached me regarding a program she wanted someone to present on family emergency preparedness. In the two previous years our area experienced a “thousand-year flood” and the wind effects from a passing hurricane. Several of the seniors had requested a speaker who could help them think through steps that could be taken to minimize the impacts of another storm or similar short-term disaster. This article is a summary of what that presentation has become after multiple iterations over the past ten years. My hope in sharing is that…

(Continued from Part 1.) The next topic is water. I begin with the low hanging fruit of having water stored at all times. It hurts my soul to thoughtlessly parrot the “one gallon per person per day minimum” tripe we have all heard so many times. My recommendation is to store no less than three gallons per person per day or ten gallons each. I follow this up by encouraging each family set a goal of having a five-gallon water jug set aside for last minute filling for each person. For those who lament storage space, I recommend the collapsible…

In this era, if you use the term “Heavy Browning,” many people will assume you are referring to the .50-cal. Browning M2 machine gun. While that is technically correct, Browning’s massive .50-cal. design is truly in a category of its own. Call it semantics, but in the first half of the 20th century, the term “Heavy Browning” referred to the .30 -cal. M1917 water-cooled machine gun.  In early 1918, there were two Browning machine gun designs being prepared for service: the Browning Automatic Rifle and the tripod-mounted M1917. While the nearly 20-pound M1918 BAR may have been heavy for a…
