The Hand Crank Weather Radio, a Necessity, not a Luxury?

The One Acre(or less) Homestead

Are there guns that are best for woman?

There is no such thing as a handgun that is best for women.  Everyone regardless of gender has strengths, weaknesses, and preferences.  The old adage….“Just get her a revolver” is both an insult and dangerous.
