One day closer to victory for all our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories west, southwest, east and northwest. Ladies and gentlemen, you are listening to us on LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com. We're also on PBN.4mg.com and we're on LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com. Live at 365 then go to Liberty Tree Radio. You will also find us on AM and FM micro stations, CB base stations, and Ultra Net Technologies both east and west of the Mississippi and in Alaska of course. Today Don is... Oh today is 11 August you guys. It's just past 8 o'clock Eastern Daylight Time and well if you're getting off your first job there in California about 5 o'clock you... getting too much of a rush to get to the second one. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to disagree, except that it's probably true. As we know, it's just the way things are in the American-Soviet system. They say, as California goes, so goes the nation. If you want to look to that as an example of how things aren't to the work in America, California by itself could be the sixth level. Well, maybe it's backsliding a little bit. Not that long ago, it could have been the sixth largest stand-alone nation as far as monetary exchange, you know? Sixth largest, and that's inside our borders, California. But look at where it's gone. And again, you know, I bring up that old adage once more, as California goes, so goes the nation. And my ankles are wet, the chandelier's at a 15 degree angle, they're offering free drinks at the bar. Look, there's There's fireworks outside and the band is playing near my god to the wow. There's where the guys help sink the ship. Give him a drink too. That's right. There you go boy. There's a cap, Bill Capitan. Why does he look so somber right now sir? And he's saying don't go near the lifeboats for some reason. Hey those guys have guns. Wait a minute. So anyway, we are looking at a better situation here for the Patriot Room with O in general. We've got a lot of activities that are being planned over the next two weeks. two months. We also have a number of other activities taking place in the Northwestern part of the United States. I want to say hi to our friends there that are organizing that. a series of statewide meetings that are coming up in September, well actually August through September, so this is a warning for all you people there again to maintain OPSEC, operational security, make sure that everything is squared away accordingly and plug yourselves in. Okay, a lot of work to do. We've got everybody from Illinois to Indiana, Virginia, Vermont, North and South Carolina. There's going to be a meeting in southern Georgia. I'll find out more about that pretty soon. I just got a message on that today. We've also got the meetings with the Mississippi militia, which I'm going to have to get hold of Drew and a few others to find out more about what's happening. Again, other independent Mississippi militia units in the northern part of the state are going to be getting together. Hopefully we will be there for the Oklahoma meet. We have Don traveling with us if all goes well across the fingers. for the meeting way up in the Northwest. And that's going to be combined with a number of other activities. We'll be stopping many places along the way. So keep that in mind. A lot of things happening there. And it should be pretty interesting to see how that develops, because more and more people are finding out about it on a daily basis. It's been asked to come down to Arizona. We don't have a schedule for that yet, but remember Mike Nesser And the crew, they have activity coming up this next weekend. So for those of you listening, remember, go to offthegridgirls.com. Now here's another thing, for our guys in the chat room listen up. Some of you are on the east coast and this is just up the water from you. One more time for everybody listening. Some of you are from Massachusetts and Connecticut and places like that. Well of course now we've mentioned Maine Military Supply many times, MaineMilitary.com. That is mainmilitary.com. a private number. DPM camouflage mark for chem suits. He's got a mix of sizes. You're going to have to call and help him out with this. He hasn't sized all of them yet. However, $6 a set for chem suits. In multiple sizes? Yeah, you don't get them any better than this guy. Are you going to ask for more? Well, we're going to have to work quick on this because I'm putting this out. So for all of you listening in the chat room, $6 a set for mark four. DPM camouflage chem suits. They've got the smocks and the pants. OK? You've got to call to find out about the sizes because he hasn't even sized them yet. Now these are things he has on the shelf. $3 a top, $3 a bottom. These are in the vacuum seal package. Now I'm going to warn you, don't rip these open. The information about the size is on the outside. When we go to the bottom of the outbreak, I'm going to move a few things and I'm going to pull a couple of these suits out of the box so I can read to you what to look for. Now typically they're also spec sized for American Standard, but it's not that hard to do. If you use the metric crossover tables that are available, you can get the size off of the pouches. He's doing that as of tomorrow, so he's going to size them. But be patient. Now again, that's for the, it's the ChemSuit complete set, top and bottom, $6 a set. They're in the DPM camouflage. Do not take these out of their sealed pouches. I will warn you right now, these are vacuum compressed sealed. If you take them out of the plastic bag they're in, I can tell you that they will not fit back into the bag that they are in, or were in. This is hard for some people to understand. So I will repeat this again. Do not take these out of their vacuum sealed bag. As long as that vacuum is not broken, and you'll tell real quick, the bag will be very tight to the material. If not, it gets floppy. Okay, I actually see that the seal might be compromised. Now that doesn't make any difference. I'd use the ChemSuit anyway, but I mean as far as, you know, if I had to use it, I'm not going to go, oh my goodness, the seal's broken. I'm going to use that one anyway. But the thing is that these things are in the seal. We talked about them. I talked with Frank about these today. They are sealed and tight. You can't beat them. $6 for the set. That's as good as it gets anywhere around the country. Especially if you are on the east coast, your shipping is going to be cheap. Your shipping won't be that bad no matter where you send them. But it's $6 a set. You find out what size. They are the Mark IV DPM Camouflage Chem Soots. That's number one. Mark, this is great because you know what? You guys, the last time I picked up a Chem Suit my size, which is kind of stretched a little. I gave $20 for it. Granted, it was US, but the bag it was in was compromised. I gave $20 for the last one. You guys, you can't beat this with three sticks. Now you look. Six, six, twelve, eighteen. There's three sets. That's $20. Yep. Well however long they last, they last. You'll dig everyone out who's got left, but when they're gone, I don't think there'll be more to replace them. We'll see what happens. We're cleaning every one of these out as they become available. He also has hoods for the M17 or for the M10M gas mask. These are the American hoods. The M6A2 cost is $2 per hood. These are in the foil paper wrap. Remember the brown foil on the inside? The foil on the inside? Double seal system. These things are available brand new slash surplus. and they are $2 a piece. The other thing you have is the M10M and this is the check variant on this mask. The one that they used in Desert Dust 2. It is the M10M. They are brand new, immaculate condition. I got one sitting next to me in the pouch. It was sent to us via WTPRN and I have it in my hands. I looked at it and it comes with two sets of filters. It comes with the pouch complete. Everything is there. The bag is actually not, well you could use the bag, but remember that the M10M and the M17 are the same basic mask system. And the M10M and M17 system combined work exceptionally well. Use the M17 bag. You can drop the M10M into it. Price is $12 each or $3 for $30. About as good as you're going to get price wise. We have a collar. And we have a caller. Tell me, would Don take this for a minute? Go ahead. Okay, and let's get some ID from the caller. What's going on? Yeah, this is Tom. Don, this is Tom. How you doing, Tom? Pretty good. Yeah, Mark was talking about bullets and different things that, you know, because there's going to be a shortage of bullets and stuff. And he was talking about .308. You know that in an emergency you can shoot a .308, a .30, at 6. You can rattle one down and not the other. What I'm saying is, if you've got a bolt action, it would work in that. They're not the same size and everything, but in an emergency, that would work. I wonder if it talks...go ahead. Conversely, it won't work the other way around, will it? No. 30 out of 6 is longer. I wanted to bring that to everybody's attention. Much like you can rattle a 9mm bullet, down a 38 barrel. You know what I mean? Rattle it down. But you can't send a 38 down a 9mm barrel. No, because 9 is shorter. I've got a... We're talking about diameters here also is the major thing. Like 357. You can send a 38 down a 357 barrel, but don't try to send a 357 down a 38 barrel. Well, I got a Ruger that's got two cylinders where I can shoot 9mm at all 38mm, you know, the 38mm, 47mm. Yeah. Yeah. And, you know, that way, you know, I've always got bullet for, you know, that. And that, you know, I'm more accurate with that six shooter than I am with the Auto and I work on the Auto. Well, the 9mm, actually, it's a 9mm Ruger, revolver. Well, it's a revolver, it's a 357, but it's a convertible, it's got two cylinders. Right, we used to sell those, I was a Ruger distributor, we did Ruger, Browning, Weatherby, and the Ruger, that original cylinder, where that came from is the Israelis had a contract with Ruger to make, it was one of the few contracts they got for betraying the American people. Ruger got a contract. to do a 9mm revolver for the Israeli military. They built it for a little while and then of course they ran the over bleed onto the American market. They made a half moon clip system. There is a standard keeper system. There are a number of different faces that they went with for the revolver face when you open the cylinder. It is a good conversion system for Anybody who is looking for a survival pistol because you can find 9mm laying around and if not you have 357 here and there. And you always use 38 special and 357. I have one gun and I can shoot three different calibers in it. Right, in a crisis caliber situation to be quite honest because remember it is not that heavy a caliber. 380 auto should fit on the half moon clips or the full moon clips. Even though it rattled a little bit, it would still work to put it on the bullet down range in a crisis. Just like the 308, going into a 30S6 bolt action, they got sliders too that you can put in a garand that you could fire the freight in that. But, Mark, I haven't received that package you're supposed to send me. Well, keep an eye out. We've actually had something come back in the mail, which is kind of strange from Texas. In fact, hold on here a second. I've got to make an announcement on that. I promised to do that the last hour and didn't do it. Let me see if I can reach it without getting past the dog. Yeah, I know. Fluffy's right there helping me. And so just be patient because something that's interesting. I just wanted to let you guys know about in a short time that you do have other options too. I reload and stuff and that. Like I said, it's always good to have your stuff with different things. Exactly. And the point that you know what will interchange. I think we lost Mark in the interim and he might be back. I rolled over the dog and the dog helped me to accidentally disconnect. You can't walk through this dog. That's too hard to weld it together. Anyway, you've got a package. Just figure you've got a package on the way, however, as a reminder. For our friends that might be listening with Insight Industries, somebody decided to goof with this as far as I can see one way or another because the address is correct. But anyway, for Insight Industries, your package came back and it shouldn't have. I think the dinks in different mail offices are just exactly that. We are going to re-mail accordingly. Otherwise, Tom, just figure whatever slowboat it is shipping to you, it will get there eventually. Okay, Tom left just after you did it. Oh, okay. So he should be left. But again, he is listening. That is good. And again, the reason is, you know, it is funny, and I am going to say this because for years we were writing letters all over the state of Michigan. People know and wrote me while I was behind the wire. Guys, anything in Michigan, it is just slower than molasses and twice as thick in the winter. I can ship stuff to Alaska faster than I can ship stuff across the state of Michigan. I don't have to put my name on it. You go, well it's because of your name. No, you don't think we use a return address that makes any sense? Okay, come on people. I know better than that. I always use a nice Jewish name on the return address, Blatsonstein and Bergenmann or something. The other thing is put the return address on that it's being mailed to. Right, exactly. It gets there no matter what. You can't tell who the hell it came from. That's the whole point. but the molded one. But we have a system where they dump all of their research garbage on us and because they throw millions of dollars into these programs, one way or another they are going to make it work even if it means slowing the mail down, bollocksing up the system, etc. etc. Because we know people in the mail system and that's flat out what they explained. They've got a machine that cost several million dollars when it was installed. The machine can't do, doesn't have enough of a workload from its local area. So they will actually divert mail from the seven county southeastern Michigan area to that machine to justify its existence, even if it means slowing the mail down by days. And this happens constantly. This is a Michigan problem. Some of your other states have a similar issue, but Michigan is notorious. We have two different political strains here. We've got the Chicago, Italian, and Jewish Mafia running the western half of the state, southwestern half like Grand Rapids. They infiltrate up to there. We've got the Toronto Jewish Mafia running things from the Detroit area and from the Toledo Mafia, the old purple gang. That's how it's divided up. Because of that, they have their own money rackets. They've got all their laundering. and they are heavily infiltrated into the FED operations. So that is what is reflected in that too. The mail system is no different from the rest. So anyway, just answering questions. Long thing for you to explain here because the package came back. So anyway, that box is sitting here waiting to be shipped as soon as we get a better address for it. So change addresses. It went to the address that Insight Industries that you guys use down there. Apparently they didn't want to have to acknowledge it or whatever. In fact, they did all kinds of scribbling on it that they shouldn't have in the first place, which I think is rather fascinating. So some other dink might have done this in the process when it was supposed to be delivered. So I'm going to see what I can find out. I might just ship this again, but by another direction we'll see what happens. It doesn't cost that much. I have a tendency not to trust UPS and mail service not much more. Okay, boy, that's what I can tell you. I've been invited to a lot of barlots. Well, at least somebody has. I'm telling you. But anyway, other things here real quick. We'll finish this up with Maine Military. They've got the Czech M10Ms. This is the East German and Czech copy of the M17 GAT mask. 3 for $20. Now here's another thing, a lot of you, now listen carefully, a lot of you guys bought the M9 copy made by Finland, the finished copy of the M9 US gas mask. Well, we were talking on the phone and Frank goes, well I got a bunch of these cans here. I said, really? He goes, oh yeah, they're great cans. They're about so big and they're supposed to be a filter of some kind. I said, they're M9 gas mask filters unissued, aren't they? Well, I don't know. I said, well, OK. He said, they've got M11 marked on them. I said, yep, they're M9 gas mask filters. So here's the thing, guys. They have a pile of M11, model M11, gas mask filters in the 60 millimeter ring for the M9 gas mask. They will fit your finished copy of the M9 mask directly. Click, click, and they're on. They're in the peanut cans. They are brand new military surplus, $4.99 a piece. Now you can't beat that. These are sealed from the environment. We have seen these before. I know there's one other pilot sitting someplace and if it hasn't been touched, we're going to tap it as soon as we can. But these, our main military supply has them right now. They are M11 model, they are in the can, in the peanut can. He opened one up while we were talking. He does not have a picture of this on the website yet which will be mainmilitary.com. Give him time. He should have it done tonight. But this is the M9 gas mass filter. Now, let's clean them out. Get them off the shelf, put them in your hands, you'll have them ready to go. Anybody who didn't have spares, here's a chance to get extras that way. Now remember that Maine military also has the adapters to go from 60mm to the 40mm NATO filter. You should get some of those also. Check their website to find out more about that. Now another thing down that they have are He picked up and he said he picked up the last couple pallets. But what he's saying, Frank's saying, is that, and we know this, surplus is disappearing guys. Now there's a reason for that. You people are all picking it up. See that's the other half of the formula. But because of this, people are fighting over a shrinking, you know, diminishing pile of goodies. Well, triaxine tabs, he got a pallet of them, and these are the tablets. $10 for 12 boxes. Less than a dollar a box. There are three tabs per box. These are US military surplus, they are not something aftermarket or anything like that. They are US mil spec and they are $10 for 12 boxes of trioxine tabs. So if you want those, he has them also. So I will go right down the list top to bottom. Oh, last but not least, he does have a limited number, in fact very few, of the M17 gas mass bags in the Cordura. This is the last model of M17 gas mask bag. Now why do I bring this up? Because that gas mask bag will work perfectly with the M10, which is an M17 copy. So you're looking at the last, you know, newest model of the M17 gas mask bag. I think what he was saying is $3 per bag, which is a kick butt price for the thing. You take that and mix that with your M10M mask. Take the gas mask bag you are going to get with it and turn that into a first aid pouch. Which by the way it looks a lot like the US aidman's bag that was out there for a long time and you can't get anymore. So nothing goes to waste. Everything you will be happy with. Now one more time. It's mainmilitary.com. The cell number is 207-557-9642. The office number is 207-924-5258. And Fink is who you want to contact. All these things are available. Most critical, if I were to go priority, I would look at it this way. The chem suits and the M11 model, M9 gas mask filters. Those two we need to get out into our hands right away. $6 is set for the chem suits down and $4.99, another is $5, for the M9 filters. Okay, for the gas masks. Model M11. Yeah, for the other, the Model M11. Then I would go hoods, for those of you who don't have hoods, and obviously gas masks for those who don't have gas masks. It kind of helps if you have the core element. There are solutions, not just whining about the problems. That is again an issue that I have been addressing for a long time. Hopefully we gave you guys some ideas. We are at just about the bottom of the aisle. I know we are going to hear music here in a second. Yes, we are. Remember we also have coming up on the ... Let's make sure we get the dates right. 27th of 28th we're going to have an intact operation. We'll cover that. We come back here. Infill report down to mark. It is Monday. Just keep on talkin' news! Heh! Every morning, mornings with you Every morning, mocha yawnin' Get ready, world, cause the day is dawnin' Flip on the lights, put on some brew Turn on the radio, they're talkin' the news You're gonna love it, pay the equos First time you tried it, you gave me the blues But take my word you can call on your views and talk in news better. I say every morning, morning I'm crazy, I'm disgusting the news. Every morning. one at the Texas thing mark, Washington on the Brazos there, but you know everything you do you should try to get better at. You should try to be a better patriot. You should try to be a better member of your family. Try to be a better citizen in your community. And I know these things are hard to do when the judge says, you know, I can throw the book at you and you can choose which law you want me to charge you with. And when the book is like four and a half million laws, they can find something wrong with you, believe me. And if they don't, they'll just send the A-10s or knock you off your motorcycle or shoot you in your driveway or in your church or while you're standing in your front door holding your daughter. I had to do that, Mark, because even the intelligence report, we're the guys who've been telling you for years, buy bullets, buy more bullets, buy powder and primer, buy cases. By the way, did we mention buy bullets? We have We're going to do a little bit more of an advanced training to what we generally do. Everybody wants to do the sniper shoot kind of thing, and we're going to run some drills on it, kind of, if they can. And if there's targets to engage, well, we're going to kind of throw gas masks. They generally put on their gas masks. We're going to run for about two hours with these things on. Let's see who gets claustrophobic. Kind of do some of these things up. Not everything is a tripwire you can see with your feet. We're going to be running basically motion sensor devices and things you're going to have to pick up long before you get to them. We're going to kind of throw it in for a day and a half and make sure we're going to go home and do some training. If they want to do that, how do they go through the process of connecting? Well, they need to RSVPS back at Hutari. hutaree at yahoo.com. We'll give them the address, the meetup time, and the whole information from there. You guys have a website. How do we find the website? Because I want everybody to watch the videos there too, by the way. That's hutaree.com. That's hutaree.com. Our website is drawing a little bit of a surer month's out of the 501c status Christians out here who kind of proclaim to be patriots, but they want to be loyal to their pastors and give homage to Caesar. We've been running about 20 emails a day kind of arguing back and forth, planning to all, you can't serve two masters, and we're starting to see some people are starting to wake up. Good. And again, that's Houtari. Go to the sites. You guys have a number of videos and also video links. Again, take the time and check out the work that the guys have already done. The one we referenced today is the Militia Live Fire. And the reason is that we, that's on our site, but you'll see that that's a combined force and Wutari's right there in the middle of it. Remember that when you see a trigger pulled in these videos, you're not looking at bonk fire, are you? No, we, and it gives a lot more of experience for doing as our live fan. Every time we pull this we have new people, they always, they're fascinated that, oh you can feel the blast of them guns even though I'm 15 yards to your piece time. repetition through repetition and training, you are familiar with the environment, you focus on the mission, you focus on the task. And the important thing there is a safety, again, everybody knowing their job, understanding what they have to do and having it repeated to them over and over again before they go through the process. There's a series of, there's a step by step process of graduating people to the live fire system. is to access the inexpensive airsoft systems. Focus on the use of your arm, the proper use of the pistol, the proper use of the rifle. Next you can integrate that with range fire. Now you're not wasting as much ammunition going into that. It'll be a quick learning curve up. And then in the next step we look at live fire maneuver, which is what you see in many of the videos that you're going to be experiencing when you go to hutari.com. You will notice that they work as a team, as a fairly large team. In fact, you have many different people overlapping in those videos, don't you, from one video to the next, from one training exercise to the next. Yes, because a lot of times what you see in front of the camera is only what the camera view picks. What you don't see in a camera view is what's going on off the camera, but we're one machine to a camera. You've got many, many other bodies, people. That's one of the things people are either A, you have to crunch them all in and people are going, well, you made this mistake or you made that mistake. OK, well fine. You'd be happy with what we catch on film because that's what the cameraman, the A unit, the B unit, and the C unit are going to do. Now between all of them, you'll get a better feel for what the field operations are like and how you have to control the fire team and the squad. And of course, it depends on the training of the individual, which is critical. So we need to make sure that you guys are all up to speed there. So again, go ahead and give all the particulars out again so everybody can write them down. That's A-T-T-A-R-E-E. Training 10-27-28. And again. And we'll be able to give you all the information, the address, and whatever you need. And of course you'll also be in the chat room, correct? Oh yeah. So, if anybody would like to step in, go to libertytreeradio.4mg.com and you can come into the chat room there and say hi. I don't know if the guys are there for the moment. I think you guys are busy with us for the moment, right? Well, we are signed into the chat room. We are not paying too much attention. When they are done with the phone call here, then you get back to monitoring the chat room. You guys can step in and say hi. Go to libratreeradio.4mg.com. Then you look at the bar there and it will say chat room. Go to the chat room, log in and you will be able to talk with the guys. So that will be a good opportunity to meet new people and also find out about what all is going on. Now again, go right down through the list of what we are going to need because this is critical. It also is the basic stuff that all of you are using out there. Well we are going to need, first off, you are going to need some camo plots because we don't like sticking out in the woods even in our training ops because you never know what jumps out at you. A full set of BDUs, definitely need some combat gear, two canteens because whenever we hit the ground, you might be away from base camp for better part of five hours six hours you're not going to have a chance to run no drinking faucets you're going to have plenty of water on you. I mean we aren't going to bring our coolers. No that's okay. If I was queuing the coolers, they're going to stay behind. Definitely you're going to have to have a battle rifle. We don't care what caliber, whatever you're comfortable with. You know what, if you're using the FNA and FBL, we don't care. If you can shoot it, you can hit with it, you can maneuver with it, great, carry it. Definitely a gas mask, because we're gonna, like I say, we're gonna do an extended gas mask training. Anybody who thinks they wanna be a sniper, or they wanna play the sniper game, definitely bring your sniper rifles, we're gonna put them through the paces. You're gonna hit a moving target, and hit a moving target at approximately 200 yards. Anything less than that's not a sniper. We're definitely gonna do a night patrol, we'd love it if you used to wear a helmet, because the tree limb hit me on the head in the middle of the night, don't feel too good. We don't like people complaining that their feet hurt and having to stop while they make adjustments. Chances are if everything goes well we will have a box of helmets on hand that will be available and you can purchase them. They'll be steel pots. They'll be very reasonably priced so they're actually something you can have around. You're not going to cry about. They're not going to be expensive and they'll be in mix sizes so we can fit them to the individual. So for those, but preferably, you want to have a helmet. It doesn't make any difference. It can be a US helmet. It can be a Swedish Model 38 or Model 29. There's a number of M1 slash old steel pot type knockoffs. There's French. There's German. Both those are good. There's Norwegian and Swedish. Both of those are good. There are Kevlar helmets, those are fine. You pick the style but you should get it now in advance. You do the work, you guys can do all the ground work to get that done so that you are wearing it and it matches up with the rest of your gear. In other words, get the camouflage covers that you need to match it up and make it work. The big thing is you have the helmet, make sure you have a chin strap and again adjust the helmet to the person. Now it will be the job of the people or the team leaders there with Utari. to do a quick inspection to make sure the thing is fitting right. We don't want it slopping and slopping around on your head. When you run, you might notice that was a bobble factor issue years ago. You see this in all of the Vietnam War footage and in many others. Guys running along with the helmet and it's so loose that what happens is he's having to throw his hand on his head to keep the helmet from bobbling around and being lost while he's running with his rifle in the other hand. If you properly adjust the helmet and have all the fixtures and fittings in place, The helmet won't do that. And for this type of operation, we're more concerned with the idea we're protecting your noggin from impacts. From walking into a tree limb, walking into a tree you missed, something's hanging low, or something drops or falls, well, pink. It's like a safety helmet in this case. It's more or less to keep you from the helmet it makes takes the effect first. That way your skull doesn't have to worry about perforations or indentations. Those are not healthy issues. Not a good thing. So we're going to make sure that takes care of one another. But make the effort to do it now. Before we got plenty of time. We're looking at a month and 19 days approximately. Figure almost the end of the month, which is the 27th and 28th of September. So that's plenty of time to get organized. Plenty of time to put everything together. So let's keep that up and online. Camouflage, preferably Tiger Stripe, right? Well, it doesn't matter. I mean, if you're going to afford a... You know, red range and... You know, some of them funky colors kind of stick out this time of year in Michigan woods. And you want to blend in kind of with the trees because the woods we trained in, it's kind of dark. And you want to look like one of them trees moving out through there. So again, well, of course, Wallace failed OD Green. If you can't get anything else, remember there's lots of OD Green stuff laying around up there, mix and match accordingly. If all else fails, we might even do a little quick class on camouflage. Where camouflage uniforms came from and where tiger stripe came from is the paint brush and the spray cam. With all those fails, we have to. We'll even show how to quickly improvise and make your stuff blend in a little better with the environment that you're in. How about magic markers? That's right. Now we've got all these permanent markers. Oh, they're Chinese made. There's lots of them. They do a fine job of altering things accordingly. We are going to be highly motivated. This is going to be a working exercise. Everybody needs to be squared away. Make sure that you have all your tools. Check your batteries to make sure that they are either recharged or you have new ones and all of your illumination technology. Also, if they have night vision, bring it, right? Yes. Just remember, if it fails once we get out there, you are using it anyway. Whatever you got, you are going to have to make it work, guys. That is the most important thing. Get it to work, right? Let's see, anything else? Equipment gear, boots or another thing? Don't forget that. Go through your footwear, make sure everything is polished and sealed. It doesn't have to be shiny polished. The idea is it is polished so that the leather won't break down because of moisture from inside or outside. You want to keep it dry and clean if at all possible. Otherwise, I'll tell you what, any last words? Thank you for coming up. And here's Dave from Houtari and 851 by the atomic clock, not the nuclear clock. It had to be hydrogen powered and hydrogen capable which means it would destroy a larger area if it went off. Hey, wait a minute, do I want an atomic clock in my... Oh, hey, I never thought about that before. Wait a minute. Well anyway, again, this exercise coming up is one of several but this one is... A plus plus operation, we are going to be using a number of new technologies also and you are going to have some really good opportunities to run with some of the better units that are in the Michigan area. Hautari.com, that's Hautari.com. Go to their site, check out their videos and there is a whole lot more coming up people. That's not the end of it. We've got a lot of other work and a lot of other things going to be posted. Ed will probably have another video up this week if everything goes well. We've got new stuff in the can. We'll have another one up for Liberty Tree Radio. We do have other instructional pieces we need to put up and we will at least have one of those up very soon again. Right now if you go to YouTube to our site, actually go to Liberty Tree Radio. Dink, that takes you right to Liberty Tree Radio's page on YouTube. There is a piece I did there on field rations and on rations in general. I'd ask that you take a look at that because it answers a lot of questions I've had in many, many letters in the last month and a half. Well, rather than me having to repeat something 100 times, let the video do it for you. Now pay attention because I cover pretty much everything I could think of that would be critical at this moment. The only thing that we possibly didn't cover which one of our friends brought to the last meeting are something that I call space food rations. Those are a unique category because you don't see as many of them as you used to. But for instance, you've got food tabs. A lot of you have seen those. Now the food tabs, basically you take so many of them per day, it's the equivalent to three meals. The thing is, it's just simple food tablets. They usually have a flavor, in this case, tasty vanilla maple flavor. You know what that means. Scary. But how many of you remember space food sticks? Does anybody remember Pillsbury space food sticks? These were a kind of like a really, really chewy version, a much denser version of a tizzy roll. And they were called space food sticks by Pillsbury and they were individual wappers. infoil and these actually were made for the space program like Tang. There's another one, Tang, which everybody takes for granted. We have all kinds of powdered Kool-Aid stuff nowadays. But Tang was fortified just as most all the other military ration things are so that everything that they needed was in that drink. Now I figured by the time you got refortified with the space food bar and refortified with the Tang and refortified with whatever was in the food tubes you're eating, chances are you had four times what you needed for the day. Just take into consideration the way things are. That's how it works. Anyway, the food tabs and all the other cool stuff, Don, what can you think of that came out of that period? Oh, let's tie it up with an earlier thought. If you buy a helmet that's not steel, you can't cook with it unless you put it in your microwave. There's one thing, microwave. You mentioned Kang and prior to that you guys didn't see anything like Sunny D or all of the other imitation and real orange drinks on the market. orange juice. But it was, yes. Tang was the first of its type in that it was actually supposed to be healthy for you. Remember, they didn't talk about healthy before, did they Don? Eventually it led to things like Gatorade. Remember, they did have all this stuff before, but they never told you it was healthy. It was like orange juice. It was like, eww, what the heck? It kind of tastes swell. In fact, it was an old joke. What color is it today? What? Don't you mean flavor? No, not the way you make it. water with sugar and basically some food coloring or whatever the hell that is, but that's why it works. But yeah, the big thing is that they pushed tang. Of course it was a marketing process too. That was a whole thing. They were able to market it into the program and make it accordingly. But the whole thing is that there were a series of food products that were made that were high concentrate. Again, we're almost at the top of the hour here, by the way, so we're going to lose this in a second. But one of the things I've brought up many times is back in the day in the 60s, the big push was that Soy products were going to be so well perfected that you would not be able to tell the difference between them and real meat. I used to eat that stuff all the time because there were some cutting edge companies that made, for instance, chicken and you really couldn't tell. Now, an example of this guy is where we see a parallel. How many have had artificial crab meat? Oh yeah. Now, that's a soy combination with other, you know, with sprawn, okay, shrimp, and crunchies. baby shrimp basically mulched into a, oh my god, here comes the blonde nib. And then they mix it with, of course, whatever. And they extrude it accordingly. And they add a little red coloring so it looks like it's got the under-shell casing, under-shell modeling. And that came out of the whole period when they were going to go to the soy products. And they were going to try and do a good job of mimicking beef and pork and chicken and all the others. And that was another variation on it. Now they're not bad to eat. Really, if it was the stuff that they used to build. Hell, they had hot dogs that tasted like hot dogs. Of course, that's not hard because what's a hot dog is a mulch or whatever. But they had hamburgers. They had pork chops without the bones. It was just like a pork chop. They were actually canned. I used to buy these things usually marked down because nobody else wanted to eat them of course. They had lots and lots of this stuff, product lines. Eventually they realized, wait a minute, they use a tofu kind of slurry to begin with as the base. Why not just sell people tofu and that will settle the whole problem of trying to make anybody believe it tastes like anything in particular other than, ooh, tofu. It's kind of sad because a lot of that was lost and a lot of this has disappeared. The space food sticks were great because for their size they are tiny. It's just like the food tabs. They are tiny. They take up very little weight so you can actually have back up food in many different places but still offer you enough food supplement with regard to vitamins and nutrients that at least it will keep you on your feet. It doesn't have to be perfect and for some people there might even be some side effects. But the average person out there, 99%, are going to be able to operate with these supplements to the point where at least you're not dying of starvation and cardboard is not your first choice on the menu. Which is one of the points that I would make about what we saw with the food tabs this weekend. Vanilla, we joke, but where I'm not, hey, vanilla maple flavored and offers me everything that I need to keep me going for another day so I can supplement my food as I find more rations. Hey, that's great, guys. That's the kind of stuff we need to go out. Oh, here's the music. Here we are at the top of the hour. Remember, vutari.com and mainmilitary.com. Now, if you don't have the stuff listed, guys, be patient because it takes time to operate the keys to get everything up on site. But I gave you a working list. That DPM ChemSuit technology is there at mainmilitary.com. Six dollars a set. You call them tomorrow. Well as always God bless the Republic. Death is a new world order. In South of the Ale, ladies and gentlemen, the Empire is on the run. We are on a march both day and night. Who rocks? Big China, a chicken and an Ale, a chicken and a slat. Send them back in the fight, he's been on the halfway. Yup.
