As you all have already realized I’ve been away from the blog for quite sometime now. I’d like to thank each and everyone one of you for reading this blog and I hope that you’ll continue following the SkinnyMoose Bloggers as they bring you the very latest and greatest outdoor news and entertainment. I will be on and off the blog sporadically from here on out because I am tied up building and maintaining an all new message board called www.carolinasoutdoor.com ,an all new hunting and fishing forum dedicated to North and South Carolina outdoorsmen. Come join us or at least check in often to see what the folks in the Carolinas are doing in the field. Once again thanks for your support.

One of my favorite meals to eat is Schnitzel. My grandmother who was Austrian used to fix this meal for us growing up. I never realized how much work was involved until I got to the point of wanting to make this meal for my family. For those not fimiliar, Schnitzel is a thinly sliced piece of veal or pork. Aside from the thinly sliced meat, the real work happens when you break out the meat mallet and hammer away in an attempt to further tenderize the meat.

When I received this product I knew almost instantly what it would be used for. The thin slices of pork were rolled through with ease and without much effort. A once time consuming (not to mention rather loud) process was made almost effortless thanks to the Mr. Tenderizer. I’ve only used it for the Schnitzel dish so far, but my next dish will be thinly sliced venison which will then be breaded and fried. This product is one of those kitchen tools that you may not use all the time, but you’ll be glad you have it once it’s needed. I only wish my grandmother would’ve been around to try this product out, one of her biggest complaints about cooking Schnitzel was having to swing that meat mallet in her old age. Anyone in need of an easy way to tenderize some meat should definitely check into the Mr. Tenderizer I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

A case in which to hold cartridges securely is a must for any hunter. These PocketPak Bullet Cases seem to be just what I needed in my hunting collection. Each order comes with six cases that carry up to five cartridges of your favorite caliber. The first thing that immediately caught my eye about this product was the fact that they easily fit into my pocket, and for once I didn’t have to worry about losing rounds, or have them rolling around in my pocket or backpack.

I can’t tell you how many of those “bullet holders” I’ve bought that slip over the butt of the gun, only to have the elastic wear out and bullets fall out while I’m walking to my stand. These PocketPak Bullet Cases also stack up nicely in the gun cabinet and I’ve even found a spot on my pegboard out in the shop to store a few of my handloads. No more lugging around an entire box of rifle cartridges when you only take 3-5 in the deer stand with you anyways.

These cases are made of recyclable plastic and I’m sure with time will eventually become weak and need to be tossed in the trash, but, at a cost of only $9.99 for six cases that’s a deal. I’ve opened my cases and removed the cartridges in one day more than I probably will in an entire season and each are still snapping tightly. Despite the photo above showing shotgun shells, no shotgun shells will fit into the holders I received. If you are looking for a cheap, inexpensive, disposable (after many uses) way of transporting just the right amount of shells to and from the field, I would highly recommend checking into these PocketPak cases.
