Hey Y'all!

[2wheelDuke]

Lookie Here! It's beginning to look alot like Christmas! I hate how things kick off almost before Thanksgiving. I haven't been very Christmassy in the last few years, but I guess I'm getting into the swing of things now.

We just got the tree up, and I hit my 12ga hull stash up and used my press to decap and crimp them empty to stick LED lights into them.

Bullshop Junior....put up your own tree in your mancave.......

[Bullshop Junior]

I don't have much of a man cave these days. I havn't had time to set up my reloading room at home yet, and my room at the man camp just barley has enough room to walk along side of the bed.

Man cave and man camp, very manly.

Man cave and man camp, very manly.

I was not familiar with the term "man camp" until a couple years ago. I found out it refers to a concentration of small domiciles inhabited by oilfield workers generally in the middle of nowhere. It may be manly, but I doubt it is much fun. Expensive too, because they got you by the short hairs if you want a place to stay when you aren't working your butt off.

Pretty much sums it up. Our company puts three guys in three bedroom trailer houses, so it is not the worst, but not great for setting up reloading stuff. And the rare chance I get to go home, I usually have other things to do..

All man camps are not equal. Food is one of the big things, some have great food, some just what I would call life sustaining. lol Some have rec rooms, pool rooms, some barely have bath rooms. lol

2wheelDuke did you crimp the hulls first, then push the lights in thru the crimp? Thats the only way I can figure to do it as I cant crimp with the light in there.

[2wheelDuke]

They're decapped so a little light can shine out the flash holes. I crimped them empty and stuck the lights in. I might give each a dab of hot glue to make them more permanent.

[emoji106] Sounds good.
