I went to buy beef suet today for my mix. $2.49 a lb when they had 80% on sale for $2.80. Well duh, the fat just wasn't worth it to me anyway. I can just add deer to the 80%. .

If I understand you correctly, beef suet is beef fat? yes???
I go to my local butcher and get beef fat for less then $1 a pound???
I generally use this for soap making, but...
I am kind of pissed that they charge for unwanted fat, but heck, GO capitalism.
are you over paying?? Just trying to help out.

The Outdoor Research (OR) ones look nice. They make durable backcountry gear as well.
I’ve noticed over the past few months that chunks of unwanted fat are hidden under lean cuts of meat I buy at my local giant. Also, ground beef with less than 15% fat is rarely available. Are beef cattle getting fatter or are retail outlets squeezing a few extra pennies out of their products?

Local Food City wouldn't sell me their fat a couple weeks ago. He said stand by for a beef shortage because of T-day increase of virus. Meat packers were going to get sick so they were keeping their fat to make ground.

For what it's worth, I've got a few of the Outdoor Research masks (the regular kit, in the second link, not the adrenaline kit) and they're my favorite mask, by far.
...
I think that, protection-wise, TYR Tactical's Huron DLV mask has a better filter, and seals quite tightly, due to the flexible metal strip they use, and the cord-locks' ability to cinch things down tightly. However, the DLV takes longer to don and doff, because it isn't an earloop-style mask.

Thanks for the firsthand perspective and additional information!
Giant Food is doing very little meat cutting in the stores anymore. The grocery stores also sell their trimmings to a processor that picks it up several times a week. They make makeup amongst other stuff out of it.
I usually plug mine right on the car, assuming i catch it while there is still air in it and a seal.We came out of Church yesterday to find a flat tire , So rolled up the sleeves and changed it. But I started thinking about how I should be able to fix (Plug) a tire myself. I used to do it working at a real gas station back in the dawn of time when they would fix cars there.
So today I went to the parts store and outfitted myself with all I needed to fix them. Hadn't thought about a flat tire or had one in something like 20 years.

I keep one of these plug sets in each car. It pays for itself after one use.

Those things are awesome! I have not changed a flat in years. I move the car till I find it, pull the nail, screw, plug and a small compressor and fill it up.
Gone are my days of taking a tire off and putting on a donut.
Until a 1.5" crack appears in your sidewall without warning. Happened to me about 5 weeks ago. Tire was properly inflated and no signs of damage, but was on the car when I bought it so may have seen misuse at some point.
The plug kits are great and everyone should carry a set, because they are such an easy, quick fix. But... keep in mind they can't fix everything.
