And overnight they were just firing their, what they used to call Stalin's organs, their rocket launchers mounted on the back of trucks. and just pummeling it. As the morning as the sun came up, they were showing the Soviet look like the frog aircraft, the close air support, not similar to our A-10, but the same type of role that the A-10 has. Now, later in the day, they did say that there was at least a thousand people that had died in the They had shot down the opposition and shot down four of these Soviet aircrafts. They didn't identify what they were. They were probably by the description real quick, Mike. Those are Sukhois. They're the Russian equivalent to the American A-10 Warthog. They performed the same mission. The SU-25, the Frogfoot, I think is what its NATO designation is. They showed quite a bit of fire in these rockets at night and then they showed the convoys of these military vehicles moving it in. But I did notice that there was one vehicle that they showed now. It was parked off at the side and they were filming it from a distance. It was kind of a core BTR 60. They have and they're usually evenly spaced but this one is wheels not next to each other like tandem wheels but kind of spaced towards front then there was a larger gap in the center and then two more wheels towards the back and on the BTR the the hole is kind of boat shaped and then the top is kind of a mirror image of the bottom but the front of it was that way where the driver would sit and the cab would be but then back oh maybe feet or so, then it looked like it was cut off down to a flatbed and then there was what appeared to be a turret. Now I didn't see a gun on there. I'm not sure if this is some type of recovery vehicle or something like that. But it was just a strange arrangement. I don't know if it looks like one of our Hemet vehicles, other than it's smaller than that. But it was just a different variation of the BTR. Maybe it was a mortar. Could have been a near-defense platform too though. But I didn't see any rockets. I didn't see any antenna dishes either. What was the turret? Did it appear to be a turret? Yes. Now, remember now, the way you describe it could have been there's a number of different packages. If it was not the actual projector, it may have been the base fire control system. That's possible. And remember, because the way that's set up is all batteries are centralized to that hull, although each battery can fire independently. But the idea behind it is just like on shipboard fire control, there's a threat. they can commit and lock on. Now the other option because of the wheel configuration, I have to look at it, remember the OT-64, which there are newer variations on T-64, has a wheel configuration of the type you're describing. I think some of the other air defense missile platform transporters also which have a boat hull, they have the spacing between the wheels. Not all of them are uniform. It varies because there are quite a few variants that are in the field with the Russian combined arms armies. So, any one of the areas, and again, if it was an OT64, that would be kind of interesting because that's Warsaw Pact slash Czech, you know, a Czech Polish consortium thing. And not that they wouldn't necessarily have bought it, but the Russians make enough of their own. They really don't, you know, they wouldn't necessarily need to be paying third part in that particular area. It's not impossible because they do that if they feel, hey, that looks better than ours, let's take that. First, we'll experiment with it. If it works, we'll make our own. Exactly. I was going to say they usually have a pretty good archive of their information. You can go to www.bbcnews.com or maybe it's just www.bbc.com forward slash news. There are a couple other ones. It's www.bbc.co.uk. I'm sure if you just plug into your search engine, Then there is a place where you can click on what region of the world you want to check out. I'm sure you can look into there to Georgia. As I recall, Georgia wedges into the western side of the Caspian Sea. As I recall, a few years ago we had the U.S. Special Forces over there training the Georgian troops. to go after the Chechens that were holed up in the pan-Kisi bowl. I wonder if the U.S. has any, if they have their fingers in the pie over there. They said this morning on the news that George Bush and Vladimir Putin were discussing what was going on there. I just wonder what the whole... Well again, one of the things to keep an eye on is the fact that even though they may be facing each other, it doesn't necessarily mean they're being friendly, although... The problem with this is the size of the metropolitan area, the size of the expeditionary force. What comment by Georgia was made? Anything in that particular case? Well, they said that this is a breakaway republic. They've been fighting for their independence and the Georgians don't want to let these people break away. Right. So, this is, again, well. There was no official person making a comment from the government, but that's what the reporter had said. But it was pretty interesting. I'm pretty sure you can still find that video on there because they got a pretty good archive about those things right next to the news story. Then it will give like another link and you can click on there so maybe you'll be able to spot that vehicle I was talking about. But there were just hundreds and hundreds of vehicles pouring into this area. It looked like they were going to do some serious butt kicking. Back and forth. Remember, the Chechen invasion, they thought the same thing too. We know it didn't go quite the way the Russians had hoped or the primary forces had hoped that we're aligned with the Russians. We'll see what happens here with this. We'll see also, I'd be curious, I have not really had time since we, our time slots for doing the program, to see what the control presses had up with regard to covering this or any of the other actions surrounding it. It's interesting to get some input from that direction. Not a surprise because we did have precursors to this with a series of comments made in the control press about tensions building in the Georgian district along with other areas along the Russian frontier, etc. usual cliches for all the ring knockers need to pay attention because there's going to be some bullets flying pretty soon. Sure enough, that's exactly what we're seeing now. So it's not a surprise. As we have said many times, our bad guys always telegraph what they are going to do. So we don't have it. There's no reason to be shocked by this. So much as putting it on the board. Now there's an abacus we have in front of us that we use for intelligence collecting. And what you can do is slide another marker over and go, chink, aha, see, exactly as we thought. Now another issue there though is to see just how neutral we are because as you said one of the other problems is we may have somebody up there mixing up the batter with a sledgehammer from behind the scenes. There could be any number of actions there that we've actually helped to propagate to create the situation that you're now seeing and that's in line with the banker's interest and all the other nonsense that's been happening over the last several years. And centuries by the way too. There's been a lot of other stuff too in the BBC. There's been a lot of Soviet incursions into Georgia. They've fired missiles. They all show on all this on the BBC. It's odd when you talk about the controlled media here in the United States. The only thing they were talking about outside of the US was the Olympics starting and taking their hike on the Great Wall of China. I didn't see anything on the news about this whatsoever. I did hear about it on the radio on some of our local AM stations later, but it was more or less after the fact. There are quite a few other things. One other thing I did see in China. It's not all this, oh the birds nest, and here comes all the athletes like the controlled media here in the United States showed. This morning, I think it was Wednesday or Thursday morning, the BBC film crew went about two miles south of the Olympic venue. They were filming from a distance away and they showed these two people walking across these demolished homes. a rebel and everything. They said, watch this guy in the black shirt. He is a government operative. As then the BBC moved in and started interviewing these people that the Chinese government had demolished for homes to make way for, in their name, remove these blighted cities so the people of the world didn't see these things. Then people were showing their petitions that they presented to the government. The Chinese are just coming in and bulldozing these homes and it's like you're out on your ear. They're not offering you some other land and another place to go build a new house on. Then as they were watching them, the reporter says, here's the guy in the black shirt. You could see him off in the distance observing what was going on. Then he makes his telephone call. the police show up and the people scatter and the BBC reporter says, well, you know, there ain't no sense in us running because they already know who we are. And the police come over and want to know who they are, what they're doing here, and where their permit is to be here to film in this location. The BBC reporter told them that their passports were still in the vehicle and the videographer continued to roll the film as the reporter was walking towards the vehicle and the police just walked over and grabbed a hold of the camera and pushed it down. That was pretty much the end of that report. So much for what's going on in China. A couple other things too they showed the other day was Bush on his way to China. and making all his big anti-government speeches when he stopped there in Thailand and he was talking about China and Burma. Just an observation on my behalf, I noticed that it's odd that they always want to harangue us and they want to call us conspiracy theorists and anti-government movements and everything, but then now we have the President of the United States making international speeches because his anti-government speech in Thailand and China in Thailand about China and Burma. I observe the freedom of speech and the religion of all people. I find it very laughable that he will sit here and talk about freedom of speech with bearing in mind the USA Patriot Act and echelon and everything like that and freedom of religion. I guess maybe we could talk to the people that lived down in Waco, Texas about freedoms of religion or just recently with the El Dorado church down there that they went in. So much for his hollow words about what's going on there. A couple of other things that have happened here in Arizona last week. On Sunday night, down along the border with Mexico, there were four Mexican armies. troops came up and held a border patrol agent, a U.S. Border Patrol agent at gunpoint. And there was a big argument about where the border really is. He called for backup and when the other Border Patrol agents showed up and showed these Mexican Army troops their miscalculation in where the actual border was, they saw the, they realized that they were the ones that were actually on the wrong side of the border and then they just turned around and left. Does anyone think we can keep them? No, we had them in our hands when they were on our side of the border since they were going to harass him and drag him away. Shouldn't we have kept them and dragged them away? I would think so. And especially when they sit here and tell us that we can't use the military to guard our border. But now we have evidence here that that's exactly what the Mexican army is doing too. But that didn't get picked up too much by the news media. It kind of came and died a real quick death. The one is that they're trying to generate a lot of sympathy over is yesterday morning on a back road out of Tucson heading north of towards one of these outer lying cities called Florence, Arizona. They had a van loaded with 18, 19 illegal aliens. They had driver inattention, he lost control of the vehicle, left the roadway, went up over a wash, went to the opposite bank, and eight people died and ten people were air evacuated. Yeah, oh no no no you know we meant you need just leave the border wide open now We need to lock it down We need to keep these poor people from hurting themselves when they do this they do the little violence thing It's like oh I thoroughly agree with you on that we need to stop them at the border so they don't hurt themselves If we're gonna put water tanks anywhere we need to put water tanks just on the other side of the Mexican border We'll fill them up from our side so they can stand there and stay over there safely How's that sound? Oh no, no, no, you need to protect them from themselves. The socialists will tell us that all the time. We need to be protected from ourselves. Well, let's protect those people from themselves by explaining it's very dangerous here in the United States. Look at what just happened to these guys in this van. You don't want that to happen to you. Stay down in Mexico City. Actually, have a revolution down there. Get rid of the federales. And when you're done, you'll find everybody has more money and they don't have to come up this way and do what they're doing anymore. In fact, people have land. The money will be more evenly distributed over a period of time, in a more equitable fashion, for a while until the next batch come to power and it goes through the same cycle Mexico is seeing over and over again. But at least it would clean things up for a little bit and keep them, well, down south of the border. That wouldn't be a problem either. Mexico, we love you, and Mexico needs to be governed by Mexicans. Not necessarily what Mason's. Well, you know the thing is about about the illegals coming up here and getting injured and then hospitalized there was some of them last year there was some of them trying to cross the border and they ran out of water and got disoriented and succumbed to the heat injury and this one was picked up and he was not breathing, so they intubated him, put him in a ventilator, took him to a hospital in Tucson where he sat there for months and ran up a bill of a quarter of a million dollars. They arranged with the Mexican government to take him back and they arranged, the United States, the hospital arranged to have a mercy flight to pick the guy up on the ventilator and flying down to Mexico on a helicopter. And when they got down there, they, oh, we don't have a ventilator to put him on, so you need to leave that ventilator here for him. And the ventilators that they use on helicopters and aircraft are highly specialized micro tiny ventilators. It's not like a big bear ventilator that you see in a hospital or something. These are hugely expensive. I've been involved in patient transfers from facilities to facilities and the doctor on one end or the nurse on one end of the phone talks to the other one on and they tell him the exact condition. They tell him what equipment is needed on the other end. So this whole idea that they showed, even though they should have, we'll assume that they knew that he was inundated and on a ventilator and there was no loss of consciousness. that when they got down there on the other end that they had to leave the ventilator. I guess that I most likely would have left the bamboo bag and spool. I'm not sure why they had to leave that behind. And chances are we know what happened as soon as the helicopter took the tube on the guy and took the ventilator over and put it in El Presidente Fox. I don't know. Or somebody's inventory anyway. Yes. It outfitted one of their helicopters. Hey, we couldn't afford one this nice, but now we have it. Oh well. So anyway, I tell you what, we're probably going to hear the music here in a minute, I would think, since we are... I'm still looking at that other problem. Oh, we still got the other problem, so we're going to keep going. Okay. And now beyond the accidents, and of course the other incidents that we've seen, with regard to what's happening down on the border with the Mexican military, And of course, a lot of people are asking, in light of what we've been seeing over in Georgia. Now, Georgia is not a surprise for anybody. Again, it was pre-ordained through the controlled media with a series of articles in Newsweek, Time, activities on National Pablum Radio, by the way. You know, wah, wah, wah. Or they treat you like you're a four-year-old constantly. I'll bet even when they want to talk about euthanasia and get rid of a whole bunch of us or whatever and they do it now, let's kind of think about this position. Well, in this part, this neck of the woods, one of the other things that has come up here is the whole issue with Hang-Gang Control Incorporated, Mike, I don't know if you listened to the hour before, but, and Joe of course brought it up again, but from 6 to 7 hour. We have the Hengen Control Incorporated people trying to overturn a ruling that overturned the restrictions on the carrying of arms in the national parks with concealed carry. Now, it's rather interesting about that to begin with because you see, it's not like it's a courtroom and it's a public area and all of the other states typically honor any and all carry permits to matter whose they are, no matter what state they come from. There are a few states that are goofier than others, and those you have to pay attention to. New Jersey is often La La Land. California's Soviet Socialist Democracy is another one. But for the most part, the 49 of the 50 states pretty much acknowledge another state's concealed weapons permit. Now, there are all kinds of arguments against concealed weapons permits in the first place, since we should even have to have them. Once they've gone through all the goofiness and the rigmarole and the rubbing your tummy and patting your head and all that stuff and rectum prints and retina prints and blood scans, etc. By the time we're done with the fingerprinting everything, they pretty well know who everybody is. They haven't had any major incidents with any of this. However, this is in line, and this is one thing about HCI, this is in line with their five year plan for the disarming of the country. Now, the good thing is it's taken them more than five years. They wanted to keep trying to plug this thing in and get it back on track. And this is one of the significant issues whereby, again, as it pointed out, okay, concealed carry is a problem, but open carry is not an issue, right? Oh, no, no, no, no, no, you have to have a concealed weapons permit to carry openly. Okay, well wait a minute. No, because it's an open carry, that's an open carry situation. I'm not concealing the arm. The only restriction is for those who wish to carry the arm concealed. So you could get into a whole fun argument on this, which of course they would hate to have to actually deal with because in many states it ties right in also with, because even in Michigan, what's called the three-point laws is basically in effect here. They just don't want anybody to know about it. The three-point laws, if you can see it from any three sides. At the same time, it's open carry, it's clear, it's exposed, it's easily seen. Typically hip carry, belt carry, even external shoulder holster as long as it's in the right place and it's outside of whatever it is that you're wearing, then that's an external carry. And of course there's any number of other options. I guess you could have backpack mounted if your gun requires wheels. It's a hand cannon. And we know that some of those are out there, but for the most part it is interesting that they've already started on this right away and they're trying to overturn it and make it a permanent overturning. So we have this rule that should never have been in effect, then it was overturned, and now we're going to have an overturning of the overturning, but this time they want it to be permanent so that it can never be turned over again, which is nonsense because you see once you've done this and you flip-flop back and forth, I will say this, what's good for the goose is good for the goose seed. This is why the founding fathers said the government governs best governs least. Once you put it on paper people, it's up for grabs either way. You see the problem? You don't grant the enemy authority they don't have. Because once you put it on paper, then the word twisters can play with it forever. ad nauseam. That's why you don't give them any authority. That's why in the Second Amendment it doesn't give them or grant them anything. In fact, just reverse. It puts restrictions upon government telling them, shall not be infringed. Wait a minute. What more do you need to understand there? Well, we know how that works. The Supreme Court just came up with a 100 page document that is such a piece of gobbledygook, so much of a pile of gum and gunk. that the only thing that it is, is a profit making machine for the bar association. It has nothing to do with affirming our second amendment rights, etc, etc. It plans on just being a way to bollocks up and milk gun owners for billions of dollars in BS time in the court room. When I said this the first day that happened, Mike, everybody was, I'm sure, like, in bated breath, saying, oh, I hope they don't, I don't think that's right. I don't think Mark's really, well, lo and behold, almost as quickly as that happened with the Supreme Court, what did Washington, D.C. do? They turned around and completely reinterpreted what a machine gun is. Any weapon with more than they can hold more than 12 rounds is now automatically in Washington DC this is the by the way the city where this ruling was supposed to be held against and Immediately Washington DC and the word twisters went right to work to shift into yet another gear because of course they did that reasonable restriction Well, what's reasonable whatever you're stupid enough to surrender what's reasonable for the bad guy? That's how it works. Oh I hear a dog in the background, Mike, it sounds like you're getting another beagle. Am I right? The reason I say that is real quick here. Everybody understands there's only about seven or eight beagles in the whole United States. Does everybody understand that? You see, anybody that's ever gotten a beagle, typically what you hear, here's how you get your beagle. You're out there hunting, and you look down the road, and either you hear, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, woof, wo And lo and behold here is this cute little dog his ribs are showing. And he is all energetic though and he is little brown eyes and looking up and he has those long floppy ears and that little tan coating to it. And he says I am hungry. And you look at him and you go awwww nah you little biggle. You look like a hunter but I will tell you what you better take you home and feed you and vatten you up. And the little dog awwww he gets those little doe eyes and he wags his tail and you throw him in the car. You take him home and you feed him some of the best goodies you can think of because he's got ribs showing. He needs to be fattened up. So you fatten up the beagle and you make sure he's really well fed. And you think, boy, I spent some money on this beagle here. We need to go hunting. So you know beagles are good at hunting. So you take your newfound beagle friend out and you get out there in the woods, not far from where you were or where you found him. And you let him go and he sniffs for a little bit and he starts following bunny trails and he kicks up a pheasant and then he goes down the little tree line there and he comes back and he kicks up a bunny and you get one you know and then he starts working across this field and it's a series of hills and you hear him and he goes and you hear whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop whoop You see him just here behind the third hill and you think for a minute, wait a minute, I've seen this before. One last time over that fourth hill, farthest away you hear, and that's the last you see of your well fed beagle. However, from a different person's perspective, Even as he's standing there about four or five miles away. He hears over that distant hill and then that third hill and then that second hill and then right in the third hill. Fluffy! Oh look it's a beagle. Oh we're going to take him home dad. Oh well Sonny looks like lost. I think we'll do that. And that's how the beagles pass from place to place. They are a parasite upon the land. The Beagles are ruling people that they don't know and there are only eight of them in all of the country. I know this, or have seen this before. I have had friends who have had Beagles. The key word here is had. It's not that they died of old age. It's just that they just keep disappearing. And anyway, so is Mike back? Yeah, I'm back. I found the mute button. It was quite a symphony here for a few minutes. Oh, I can imagine that you've done something that few people have done. You've trapped 50% of the big old population of the United States in one place for an extended period of time. They realize that it's time to go. I have a record. people think of mine. I've been out with friends who have gotten their beagles that way, and sure enough they've fattened that beagle up, and all their cute little button-nosed, and their little waggy tails, and all the galaks, and they start to beel up, and they get thicker and heavier, and then you take them out for that hunt, and you know what? They were actually, I didn't go on the one, and our friend comes back, and I said, well, where's the dog? Well, he just kind of kept going. Well, you know, remember how we found him coming down around the road, the corner there? That's how we found the one. Coming around the corner looking at the ground and sniffing and tracking a little deer trail on the road, all skinny and looking scraggly with burrs on him and everything. I decided to take him home. Well, he doesn't have burrs on him anymore and he's got enough calories to run for about a good two or three days before he's got to go find someone else to boot shop from. Somebody gullible enough. Just a warning for all you out there. You see that beagle on the road? Don't worry, he knows what he's doing. He's not lost. He came right to you for a reason. He knows. And of course we know that all beagles are telepathic. They know who to choose for targeting purposes. So it works that way. Anyway, that's the story of the beagle. I hope it sinks in. Other things going on, remember party on the beach tomorrow. Party on the beach tomorrow. Party on the beach tomorrow. This is back in cycle for the time being. Who knows how that will change because we do have other up and coming events that are being scheduled. We have a team working on the Austin, Texas area operations and the We have a possible concert at Washington on the Brazos. That's an in motion thing. Don't forget we have Knob Creek coming up and everybody try to make it. We'll get hold of our friends down there and see if we can do the program from the restaurant that we've done before. We have been in a dead run for weeks. I'll tell you what, and actually today we're pretty much stuck around taking care of things we need to be taking care of here. I talked with our friends down at the other network down there in Texaco and going over some of the ideas and things that need to be done. We do have a couple of other projects in motion to include a new board game, so pay attention. There's something on the horizon there for everybody. Also, let's see, we have multiple training exercises. By the way, it's summer. The weather is pretty well holding up. It's dry in many places, but still medium. We haven't really had any extreme hot weather. It's been hot, but nothing breaking any records. In fact, even up here in Michigan, we've actually had about two and a half weeks of real summer weather for the whole of our summer, which has actually been a couple months now. We haven't had a whole lot of summer. We've got a real nice day today. Looks like we're going to have a good weekend. Again, for the party on the beach, don't forget that we are going to be collecting canned goods for our friends in Wisconsin for the family there. That is anything you want to bring. You can bring any kind of canned goods. I don't care. Name brand, no name brand. Dry packs, whatever you want to. Whatever you've got a lot of. If it's something you get on sale or if something that you run into, the net would be fine. We don't care. It is provided that we put enough together, we are going to fill up a pickup truck, it is going to be shipped to Wisconsin, and the Olafson family is going to be taken care of with donations from around the country. In fact, I have already got Steph here from Arkansas, from St. Louis, and also from, where else, let's see, doo doo doo doo. And I think we will have some friends dropping off some stuff from way down Texacoas way too. that will happen. And again, the idea is that we could just send money, but that's not what we're going to do. This is symbolic. We actually present the food to the family. We're going to do this again a couple more times, going to make sure that it's properly stored, everything squared away. And then they will have what they need on the shelf so that all we've got to do is dress out the difference, pick and choose what they want to use. And that's one less problem for the woman who is taking care of the household while the father is being incarcerated there. Shame on the government for doing that, but don't worry. They will make sure that they pay appropriately in terms of cost and expenditures. They can't give the time back, so time is priceless. Therefore, you will not forget. That's one of the things that's going to be dealt with down the road, of course. Mike, we have another event coming up here, and it's only how many days away? Oh, we got that is the let's see today's Friday so it starts next Thursday so it's six and a half, five days or so, five and a half or six days. We're going to have a meet up in Ash Fork, Arizona. You can go to offthegridgirls.com, offthegridgirls.com and it's going to be from the 14th to the 17th of August. The main thrust of the Get Together is to meet other like-minded people in your area. And we've got people coming from... It's offthegridgirls.com. It's going to be the 14th or the 17th of August. Training is going to start promptly at 9 o'clock in the morning. If you're coming from out of state, we've had a lot of requests that people will want to get there early. They'll be coming in Wednesday. Make sure that you have my telephone number with you. It's 480-818-3126-018-8. My name is Michael Nasser and you need to be in the Ash Fork Flagstaff area at least one hour before training. After training has started, we're not stopping it to send out a search party to go find you on the side of the road wherever you happen to be. You need to contact me either the night before or actually you can contact me today to let me know that you're there so we can have a proper headcount so we can arrange to have a lot of the things that we're going to have available there so we can, or not, nobody's going to be short. Make sure that you contact me. My name is Michael Nesser, telephone 480-818-3126. We're going to be teaching all kinds of things. Starting up, we're going to be doing map and compass, field sanitation, communications. medical, you have individual skills. The next day then we're going to be doing some marksmanship training. You're going to be, if you have a protective mask, make sure that you go ahead and bring that. You're going to be using that after you've qualified and demonstrated your proficiency with your firearm, then you're going to don your protective mask and engage the targets with your protective mask on. One thing that we found out that a lot of people, they have a firearm and they have a mask. but nobody has actually put the mask on and tried hitting the target with completed. We're going to be doing a lot of patrol, moots, hand and arm signals. Anytime so for us, whether it's a line or a V or a phi, we'll be training on those things. Again, at the end of the day, we're going to be doing an after-action review and then after everybody's become knowledgeable about their start incorporating them. This is not going to be this group against that group going to be mutually supporting where one is going to be a reconnaissance group and one is going to be a security team or one is going to be a support team and then we're going to rotate these things around so everybody will get a taste of what's required and get them into a different mindset of things that they need to think of and everything's going to build on itself and it will culminate the next day into some team operations and evacuation of medical patients in an urban type environment. So one team will be being the medics and the other team will be providing security and then we'll switch. We'll be going to do some stretcher drills and everything like that. It's going to be dynamic. You're turned away, have a comp or a mask or like that. These are going to be things that you're going to need. Now your rope, hopefully, it's going to be a half an inch in diameter of nylon twisted rope, 50 long. And then we can use that. We're going to be practicing. You might not have the ideas of what's re-quizzing. And also, the other roundy areas, something that everybody needs to have. You'll be able to, we'll be doing most of the training where you're going to be putting at. So they need a lightweight backpacking, the bigger cabin tent. will be basically camping and parking in the same area. Now there may be some of the events that may be carried on within a few miles in the general area, but basically where you park is where you're going to be, but it is primitive camping. There is no electricity, there is no water, there are no amenities, there is no nothing. If you have your creature comforts and things that you want to bring, go ahead and bring them. You are going to be what you bring in is what you take home. We're not going to leave any trash behind. We're going to leave this area better than when we got there. The precise enough to often to be very dynamic. It's not going to be sitting around for four days drinking beer and shooting guns. You're going to be expected to be time over time. You just need to be there. And a lot of these things now I understand that quite a few of the things that we're going to be We are presenting that often times whether it's the medical, the field sanitation, the map and compass, each one of these things can take four or five days or the medical, it can take months to teach that. We are only presenting the The Reader's Digest condensed version of these things. We are planting the seeds. We are training the trainers. One thing that is going to be stressed over and over again is that the people that come there, they are going to be required to retain this information and to pass it on to the new people. They are going to be trainers of the next generation. It is going to be very fast, very dynamic. We are going to touch on a lot of these subjects. We are not going to bog down for four days of map and compass or four days of marksmanship or sanitation or anything like that. It's going to be boom, boom, boom, one subject after the other. I have a very packed training schedule and that's why everybody needs to be prompt on time. Be where you're supposed to be and follow your directions. And again, Rex for water. Another thing. Everybody bring garbage bags. Go to the dollar store, pick up about a single dollar's worth of garbage bags, throw them in the truck, throw them in the car, bring them along. That way if there's a need, it's not like, oh my goodness, I got to go to the store. If everybody just spends a few extra dollars, and I mean a few, it actually gives you all the support technology you need to do so many different things. The other thing is, what's the average temperature there right now? During the day we're getting about 85 and at night it's going down to about 45. And so we're looking at that probably being consistent for next week. Yes, there's been some heavy thunderstorms that have moved from the south after Eduardo came in from the Gulf and moved across Mexico. A lot of moisture has been picked up. There's been a high parked over the Four Corners area. In the next few days the high is going to shift to the southwest. The high has a clockwise motion and instead of pulling the moisture upward and with the low below it, with the counterclockwise motion, is the high move southwest. It's going to push the north out of the way and it's going to take a lot of this moisture and push it towards the southwest. So there's still going on day and afternoons usually in early evening. But that's supposed to blow out of the area by this weekend or early, Monday, Tuesday of next week. So then by Thursday it looks like maybe by luck we have the correct date. The ground is going to be wetted down where there's going to be very little fire danger, but it's going to be prime for location. Well, here again, for this reason, remember, also, light, cold weather gear, a field jacket. preferably with a liner that can be turned out. In other words, it can be unbuttoned. That way if you have to adjust accordingly so you don't want to be too heavy, you're able to do that. Remember, just a basic field jacket with the way it adjusts and seals the way the cuffs, the way the waist seals, the way the base of the coat will actually wrap. You can make up for not having a liner, at least have a second layer of clothing. Another consideration is a sweater. Well 45 degrees doesn't sound too cold, but you're looking at extremes in temperature that are actually reducing the temperature to half of what it is during the day. The issue of exposure, not a big problem, but a problem that can happen in the desert because you are dealing with extremes. This is something you need to keep in mind. So bring a field jacket or at least a utility light coat so that you have something with you. That's a good idea. And of course, wet weather gear, that should be mandatory anyway. Everybody should be carrying two ponchos. From a military perspective, two ponchos because ponchos are a tool and because there are so many of these lightweight nylon ones running around, you can get them from German models, Dutch models, British models, you can get DPM, camo. You can get a flood tower camo, woodland camo, desert camo, whatever you want to pick. The bottom line is you need a couple of ponchos. That's where you can pick those up anywhere. You may have a source down there that Mike might be able to contact or make contact with from a surplus site down there. Best is to make sure you bring some form of rain gear along just in case. Ponchos are the best tool and best choice for that simply because They can be used for other things. You can make slings, you can make shelters, you can make a water still, or a sun still out of them. All kinds of stuff can be done with a poncho, which makes it a utility tool, not just simply rain gear. So that's another consideration. There's a lot of equipment that we incorporate. With your vehicles, not a bad idea to have a shovel or an e-tool on board. If you don't have it on your web gear, at least have it in your vehicle. If there's something that needs to be gotten rid of in the way of local debris or something that you find, an animal killed, put it underground. Come on guys, think this through. We've got to make sure we take advantage of and do what we're talking about doing, which is to make the site look better. In other words, it will appear better than when you arrived. And that's the plan. Anyway, we are getting close to the top of the hour. Go ahead one more time and make sure everybody has the information on that. Oklahoma meets, chances are there is going to be quite a bit of the information that is going to be represented. If anybody was there at the Oklahoma one or is familiar with what it was, this is going to be that plus more. There is going to be quite a bit more of information that is going to be presented. and you can go to offthegridgirls.com or give me a call. Make sure that you bring my name and my telephone number. My name is Michael Nasser Telephone 480-818-3126. As people congregate in the Flagstaff area either the night before or in the morning of, you need to give me a call. We'll give you a place where, an area where we're going to congregate. And either we'll convoy from that area to the site or you'll be giving a sketch map of how to get to the area.
