Summary
Mark Koernke discussed night vision equipment with co-host Don, offering first-generation binoculars at a closeout price ($30 delivered) as practical gear for militia training, border security, and field operations. The show covered equipment considerations for combat load, referenced lessons from the book Black Hawk Down on preparedness, and discussed .22 ammunition availability and improvised firearm construction. Callers asked about snake bite treatment protocols (comparing old FM 21-76 to newer PM 10-08 standards) and upcoming militia exercises in Michigan and Georgia.

Ordnance also accepts gold and silver payments. Visit K.T. Ordnance dot com today. Night that I didn't understand. A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat and speaking low to me, he said, We've fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan's number. You've traded in your name. You've given government control for those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. and your daughters visit doctors. So their children are people. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right, and pray to God, keep the torture freedom bright. As I awoke, he vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true, we are free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trampled, each God given right, we only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave, build the land of the free? One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories south, central, east and northwest. Ladies and gentlemen, you are listening to us on PEC Network in the morning. We're also on Liberty Tree Radio dot 4mg dot com. We are on AM and FM micro stations, CB base stations, alternate technologies east and west of the Mississippi along with southern and central Alaska and that little old, those Aleutian Islands off to the south and west heading over towards Russia. And we're on the homework network on the east coast, eight colonial states and many others expanding even as we speak. There is a meeting at the restaurant on Sunday, five o'clock, and they will be eating. They're asking everybody, hey, compress the transport. Get as many people into the cars and vans as you can because there's only so much space. They've almost doubled the capacity as far as parking wise but there's still not enough room. With so many people showing up for these meetings right now that are part of the Hallmark Network of work projects and work efforts from around the different colonial states. They're going to ask again that you try to double up more guys because they need to crunch this up. They've got plenty of room at the restaurant. Everybody knows that. And they're expanding on that by the way to make sure that everybody is comfortable. But there is a meeting at the restaurant on Sunday. So everybody, pay attention. I know you're in the enemy's backyard. Everybody knows all the other issues with OPSEC. But again, pay attention and join up on this thing. Use a van. Use a minivan. Hey, come on. Be creative. We're being creative in the other area, doing better than anybody else in communications. Also, there's party on the beach, party on the beach tomorrow, party on the beach Saturday. And by the way, Don, today's date is... Oh, if tomorrow's the party on the beach, that'll be honest. But today is the city of May, just pecking their East Coast time, Far West version of it again in the first hour. Well, what I'd like to do real quick here, because it is Friday, we do have a lot of things ahead of us for the weekend. We've got a number of different announcements for militia. training exercises, but Don, you're working in a project with night vision. I want to touch on this right away this hour to make sure that everybody knows what's going on because that's your area, that's your special niche. Doesn't mean you don't do a whole lot of other things you do, but night vision is Don's area of expertise. You've got something you're working on the way of a project, so tell everybody what's happening, please. Mark, you know, we've talked all up in neat goggles and someone called and looking for a pair of binoculars and I talked to a source and turns out there's an close out of a body. You can see this part in the kabut, the Night Jaguar, you guys, close to $500. I can put it in your mailbox. It's a two 90 millimeter front lens, large size front lens, real good for first generation. Again, two for each eye. So you'll be much like just as far as, you know, your ocular mark, unless you've got a gradient in your field of view. If you're looking at something with its magnified, it's a bit easier to estimate yardage because you're using both eyes. It's not like your eyes are looking straight ahead of the screen. Physiology, right to the bottom line here. $15 and $15 delivery anywhere on the continent. $30 will put up your mailbox. Mark, years ago I offered a $50 or $460. 15 years later. Or as you guys in price I've got adjusted. You guys give me a call after the hour. You can reach me at 231. Fools and other people. Or just like that little TV show last night. Mark, a little 22 belt buckle. You see him at the gun shows now. Belt buckle. with a thinky little, sometimes even a revolver or some more, you might see a 50 caliber or something. That's a different. Noculers have their plate and evasion. I'll tell you that. They're just first generation, but well, this has a gradient of degrees of, and not over, you know, your viewing. You won't get too much reflection unless you're looking at like wet leaves. That's something that'll be addressed. But medium ranges, you push the button and it reaches out farther. At long range mark, this is a what one might call, you know, a civilian application. Beyond that, you're looking at things like long-distance lasers. Well, that's another reason why you might want to, you know, I've addressed this, but I haven't been into the hour in quite a while. You might wish to deploy even a first piece of night vision in the daytime. Certain things are going to happen. They're going to go or graded, can be moved up to attack form, you know, in different, and it would be good to have that sensory, you know, oh, you artificial light out there in the field, something your eye can't see for night vision, you guys. two three one five eight done you guys this is a good unit divided up and that's forty four bucks each and you've got a good inoculant at five power magnification one of the things to list let's explain again we're talking about the change here now there's a couple of things that happen with this model but the cool thing is that the models that are left and there aren't that many uh... this one is perfectly serviceable there's nothing that is uh... going to be an issue with it uh... the bottom line is they're changing the when you say the changing the body they're changing the fixture the uh... housing that everything goes in brush are going to add a few more crickets probably to the next model of what they're saying right yes you know a number of other companies are looking at night vision well if we can build the catches your eye people will buy it more than they buy the you've seen some things a purpose on the market a lot of money for because it was in a really fancy it looked like nothing else in the and uh... you know the psychological thing and this is why we've to the end of this run of this body. This body looks like a modern by the gear drop in case. It doesn't look like what one might call field glasses shape or the geometry thereof. The close out pieces as you point out, Mark, it's the end of that body they're looking to print body hopefully that will catch more eye and thus leave me. That's something that gets me to it. I will say this about our enemies slash our opposition to the Chinese. and other countries are like this to the you know practical application as opposed to the nonsense of seldom you know supposedly syllable pretty doesn't make it work okay that's one of the things that gets me about this i know what they're doing is you know that doesn't have that that latest small style to what the star wars look man you know they're trying to give it an image and i and i and to me i understand the marketing issue but i want to remind all of you that it's kind of like when you buy a chevy Okay, guys, have you ever put the Chevy and the Buick and the Oldsmobile line side by side? The thing is, if you're looking at a situation where it's like, hmm, I gotta make this work, guys, there's no sense in spending more money on the same thing. In this case, you're looking at a serviceable piece of equipment in a standard, structured body that everybody will be familiar with. The other thing is that a lot of times when they start stylizing it, Things start taking up more space than they need to. And this is another thing with regard to your combat operations or any type of activity you're involved in. There are two things you have to worry about. Number one is carry weight. You can carry everything ultralight until you're so heavy that nothing's ultralight. The other is volume. Now, one of the problems is you only have so much equipment you can carry or so much space you can carry things in. And you start to balloon out. It's why they call it popcorn pockets. You can stuff them full and eventually they blow up into it twice their size because they actually have little pleats and everything and they open up. They actually just balloon out for you. The rigs and the equipment we're talking about here, especially this particular binocular system, I assume is coming with a case, right, Don? Most of the parts from this case, I'm about to say it's going to come up. case out of the deal. We'll have to verify that with book. And if we don't get a Pelican case, here's the thing. We go to Wally World and they have a bunch of Chycom knockoffs. And Mr. O.D. Green, if it's in black, in fact, ideally it'll be in black, probably it's offered in chrome. Get the black one and then tactically color it to your field of operation, your area of operation. Now, that's still going to take so much space up. So you have to make an accommodation for that on your gear. And remember that you want to make sure that your night vision is, if you're set up as a minute man, or as a minute man either in combat infantry, militia, or, oh I hear the music, or if you're a minute man down on the border, you're going to want to make sure that that night vision is at the top of the kit in your backpack at least, if you're taking your backpack, if it's part of your combat load. When you go into the field, it should be with you every time. So convenience is critical there. If the things in the suitcase, the size of the tourists or luggage you take to the airport, that's not convenient. If it's in a little pelican case or a soft case, that can go in the gear pretty straightforward and you're not going to be too worried about it being cumbersome. Anyway, I hear the music. We're going to go to break and stay on this thought for a little bit longer. Back in three. It is Friday. Come on, you've got to get up. No, don't. Don't put the covers overhead. We'll be back in three minutes. You get a cup of coffee. the fog that came At El Dorado Discount Gold they specialize in finding the right gold products for the right people.

The micro effect brought this example mark and the solution here from colors because they're trying to again figure out even which color at the edges all black. We've got 20 black and green. The outline of it puts colors and you know we're still talking to time deployment. It's going to be better than because you know all black we've talked about all black guns different areas below you know well maybe it'll sell more in this color. As you pointed out, it's going, there is going to be obsolete. It's not like, in fact, they'll be scheduled for the end of that run. Well, we're going to stop building this body and they'll just continue to build the tubes and put them in a different body. Lenses will be all fixated in the same places for the body that, wow, it looks like a killer whale and we'll call it Shamu. And everybody will be, you guys will be both, instead of all black and silver, all black. We have them reserved, we just need to, you know, Hey you guys, I hate to sound like a sailor. You need this and I'm giving you the best deal on it when you get on the street. You guys, you need night vision. And right now this is one of the best deals for a first generation two in the market. I don't think anybody else is going to sell it to you for the number out one more time mark. If you would like to contact me after this hour, you can reach me at 231. You purchased a right and you know, if you've got a deal with you, he should have a piece of night vision too. Then he could really be your spotter. Care of like close air security, you know. This would be a good piece for that, although at five it's not going to focus yards, Mark. It'll focus anything. It'll be as far as immediate area security, two or three yards. And this point and other field tools should be one power. With your hands and going, it will go. That number out one more time, we're going to skew here because now we're on night vision. If I can't interest in a piece of night vision and look at it like weld is in the field, I'm not just talking out in the field that, well, we've done our best. If you want to talk to me after the hour, it's 231. It's a piece to add to any gunner. It would be a good piece just for you to be good, you know, LP, OP, escape and evasion. The other thing is here, and I don't want a, uh, a full viewing piece. You guys, just because I can get a real good deal on keys right now in extreme bargaining, I can't get you a good deal on a gun size third generation. So one more time for that mark and I'll be quiet. If you want to talk to me after the hour, it's 231. One of the reasons I was bringing up convenience, and this is something, uh, with night vision first of all for what were the set where the system apply or bring this up before we go to break probably are here uh... y'all you guys are deploying on the border you want to build a scanner monitor an area you might be some help lp opie's listening post observation post you may have an area of security uh... defensive location uh... you've got established or that is designated you're going to have twenty four-hour coverage if you're smart if not you may be surprised and you won't be very round for very long These binoculars are a good choice as a task on piece of equipment. In other words, what used to be in the military is like an assigned piece of equipment for the team. Today they have individual night vision, but there's better technology that is actually issued out or certain pieces of equipment or tools that are issued out for a specific part of the overall mission of the squad, the fire team, the platoon, or the company. Look at the the binoculars were talking about here in that ring in that that niche that's what they're for squad leaders protein leaders platoon leaders you may want a little more coverage be able to see a little bit more uh... can't afford say fourth generation you you're you're talking ten times the cost for fourth generation in cases guys get the drift so these are solutions that allow you to get something up put something up online but i'll bring bring up this point body people have watched the movie uh... what's the uh... Black Hawk Down. Okay, there's an example of a good one. Black Hawk Down, okay, the movie version was supported by the feds, so they had all kinds of things, so they had to do the rah-rah to try and get guys to go die in Afghanistan and Iraq. That was the purpose behind it. Rah-rah. There wasn't a whole lot of rah-rah. Or, you know, ooh-rah, you know, this with regard to, we're here to kill some all these for America. That kind of stuff wasn't in there in the book. In the book, it was about surviving the situation and all the screwed up things that took place that were part of the overall program. It was screw up after screw up after screw up or lack of cooperation. What it was is a report, so to speak, but it was a great storyline on what happened in Somalia with the troops there, with the Rangers. deployment unit that was there with them. Well, one thing, guys, is one of the last parts of the last chapter of the book is the guys that everybody calls Delta Force, which that's not the term that they use, but it's what everybody knows them by. So we're going to use that term. These guys are all back, and the first thing they're doing is checking their weapons, checking their equipment, loading everything back up. And one of the things the guy does, one of the many characters is covered, is he goes over to his kit, pulls out his night vision and puts it in his combat load. The reason? Well, if you recall reading the storyline, ignore the BS with the movie. Most of it does not cover the book the way the book was written. So I suggest you read the book Black Hawk Down. Read the book. It's an excellent example of do's and don'ts, failures and successes. Yes, the men stuck together. Nope, they didn't leave anybody behind. They did. They followed the basic rules. And men were horribly injured. Some of them were mortally wounded and they were brought on down the road anyway. Of course, you're not going to leave anybody behind. And the whole thing is a fiasco, but at the very end, as the guy pointed out in his own mental processes, for a few pounds, not even that, for ounces counted in equipment, if he'd had the night vision, he would have been that much better off the night before. But because he thought he was going to lighten his load and not have to worry about that stuff being in the way, what happened is he didn't have the tool he needed when he ended up being stuck in a place he didn't anticipate. Okay, so it wasn't perfect and they weren't all organized. No, it wasn't like that at all. Just a reverse. So I'm just pointing out the inconvenience of a few ounces of several ounces of material because these night vision pieces of equipment are not that heavy. So you really don't count them in many, many pounds. It's not like you're carrying another rifle. But a piece of night vision can mean all the difference between life and death in certain situations. with these binoculars the advantage is again area control I can put a passive LPOP in place and I can sit and monitor and then pass on information to defense units, fighting units or security units and you get the job done. That's what it's for. Anyway we are at the bottom of the hour already. This is the intel report you got Don and Mark. We'll be back in about three minutes. Don give that number out one more time please. Two, three, one, seven, nine, six, eight, 4, 5, 8. Thank you. Very good, sir. And again, we'll be right back. You guys get that cup of coffee, hold on here. Mmm! Ooh, Ethiopian toenail roast now. Pretty good. We'll be back in three.

And if you get into thermal imaging, it starts at what, Mark? Don, about $12,000? Well, I can get you a thermal camera. Well, you know what? We're all thinking about buying this stuff. But you know what a sniper sees a battlefield as? Walmart. Like Walmart. You're right. Walmart. If you like the night vision, don't shoot the guy in the head. You know, a couple more rounds with him just to help him. Average, right? This military is going to have it. There's different applications for different things. I want to bring some uh... that mexican uh... i guess it's mexican was it and gila how do you say that martin we want cheaper than dirt has it in twenty two long rifle they have sixty grain uh... sixty grain a good part about it is it was designed to be used with uh... with the twenty two here's the upside you guys that don't have all that stuff if you do any small game hunting or even medium game hunting with that round with a headshot it's got an incredible loss of the weight of the bullet standard uh... is only for the high velocity, but then they knock it back to 32 grains. That's how they make the high velocity stuff. If you're doing any type of, like if you need to put meat on a table, rabbits are minimal tissue damage with that heavy round. It's as of yesterday, they had it a cheaper than dirt and it's very expensive 500. That's not cheap these days. That's not that bad at all. Well, I know Mark, but you know what? I mean, we're used to spending $7 a brick here. We're used to spending $7 a bramble and 500 rounds. I know. We're used to spending $7 a brick here. We're used to spending $36 and $40. You know, all these numbers, what are they giving you? You're getting $22. I mean, you know. Yeah, it's minimal ammunition. Remember, $22 is the bottom of the barrel as far as everything. They make it with minimal everything. That was the whole idea. Well, if you don't have any guns, we've got to... We've got people that don't have guns. There are actually people listening who don't have guns. Buy the .22 ammo because you know why? You can use an old car antenna to make a gun. As a matter of fact, the .22 will even fire in hardwood without splintering it. Did you know that? In hard maple. You can make a barrel out of hard maple and shoot a .22 on it if it's not tight. Oh, yes. As far as well, we've got .22. The velocity and the energy...velocities are sufficient. Energy is such that a number of different improvised tools. If you want to make a little personal combat gun, if you have time in the field, you take a grenade, an expended CS, unscrew the system. First of all, what you do is you actually have to un-etch the paint that holds the primer in place for the grenade. What you do is poke it out from the other end, just like you would when you're reloading. clean out that channel because it's going to be dirty. In fact, if you got a little drill there, you make sure you use the proper dimension bit. You bore that out so that you've got a nice clean channel. Then you go get yourself a tiny, tiny, tiny two nuts and a small bolt side of the clapper that actually has the firing pin, the hammer and the firing pin, that's located. And you adjust your two nuts and your bolt so that you actually create a little extended claw on that hammer the barrel, you will actually insert a 22 round, put the little barrel between your index finger and your middle finger to pull it back and fire. Boom, then a punch, you know, kind of shot. In other words, if you're that close, it was a little hidey weapon. You could have them stashed all over your person as what they are. And they don't look like a firearm, obviously. And so when you're, you've got them even in a pocket, they look just like something bulging there, just sitting there as part of all the debris and junk you got in your hand or your coat pocket or whatever. Well, that's all I had for you today buddy. I just wanted to give you that information because people should be stocking up on the 22 anyway. Like I said to you before, we're going to use that for our currency for a while until things stabilize. I think you like to knock down perfect guns and everything like that, but actually make a living using 22s, you know. And the eye shot, temple shot or a sinus notch shot is lethal one shot. It doesn't matter if you're using a 30 grain, doesn't matter if you're using a hollow point. it's gone like i told you the other day we fired a shot fired a shot at about seventy five yards through the eye of a deer in the back of its head you can for yourself Tommy you only had to chase that deer about seventy five yards huh no actually what it did down like it was could watch television wow that hurt yeah yeah it sat down like well you know what i don't like you know the bottom line here is You don't like to use these light calibers on games because they might skip away and then you've got to go trail them because they're wounded. But when you get to a certain level of shooting, that big eye is like really a joke. You know? Yeah, God bless you guys. Have a great day and good weekend. Hey, Mark, are you going to the Dayton show? If we are, it's looking like a Sunday. We'll see what happens. Okay, we'll do what we can. Alright, have a good day. You guys, let a last break of this morning's intelligence report. Write down the numbers of our sponsors, support the people that support us. Give us about three minutes to get another cup of coffee and take care of some other things, and we'll be right back. When looking at your personal preparedness level, remember the freeze-dried guy.

Will you accept the charges? Pink Floyd, wish you were here. Yeah, you probably don't wish you were here with us. We got some, looks like we got some rings coming outside down. I know, what's it like up there where you are by the way real quick? Hey, it's that stupid. Yeah. Not intermittent. I think the season that we got spring here for sure. We're getting lots of moisture. Everything's growing big. It bloomed. In fact, they're beautiful right now. We've got a natural patch, by the way, the old growth here with the Edelweiss and a lot of the type flowers have just taken over certain parts of the yard. We let it happen and it did. So we've got it almost as thick. In fact, it is as thick as grass. Can't tell the difference. Well, that's another reason we let it grow. It looks more like grass than the crabgrass or the dandelions. Anyway. and the weather is why because we've had some phenomenal perfect cool and wet and uh... that's going to continue but all that also need to keep an eye on your plants one remind everybody winter is trying to fight to let go and you get these cold bubbles here in michigan that means we can get frost in odd places you watch your plants a little bit longer here it's a cool weather last night the night before and the frost in certain places that's not good because we want to keep food production up Another thing real quick, the 28th regimental combat team, Colonial Marines, your exercises to go for this weekend. Also, third militia brigade, militia at large in western Michigan over there by Grand Rapids. You guys have an exercise this weekend in range fire. Camp Nega-Hitcham, range number three, the big boy, is open 1200 yards, the underground shooting point. in the side of the hill is finished. All the cement work is done guys. They had to patch something. They made a mistake and miscalculation is done. And there was some water. Hey, that's what that drainage issue is all about. So quick digging and they got the access wave to the tunnel port. Some additional cement that had to be cast. Cool thing is they get the cement for free. They got a company nearby. Whenever they have overage, they dump it off there, which is how they did the forms for the site. and that's open and online so everything is going to be squared away there. Anyway, we also have the 63rd regimental combat team colonial marines as we are in the week. You guys, it's a go. Advanced party was already there Thursday night. Everybody should be deployed today. But for those who are going to be part of the Lake Company showing up Saturday morning, there is no change. Weather has been fine and even if it was raining you're going to be there anyway. So we have a caller down. Who do we have? This is Marcus in Georgia. I just want to remind everybody again about the, uh, you know, if they don't necessarily want the night vision or they already got it and they're down here in the Georgia area, we're having that Whitman's coin show. So guys, if you need to go sell some of the night vision to Don's got exposed center at the Galleria 75 and 285 up in Cobb County, uh, Northwest Atlanta. And I do recommend, I know y'all are pushing it and I understand the reason when you get a deal, get it better than nothing. And Don, you said you could use those things in the daytime too? You know most night vision will come with this. I don't want to run it for a eye side of your night vision. This is how you front cap on, you turn the device on, look over into a kind of shaded area and eye. This is so if you wear a shot. I wear glasses and it's really hard to do that at night. Yeah, to find a lot of people call me. I tell everybody get your device when you take it out of the box and you have two features. You have to tune the front lens focus and you have to focus. If you're trying to do both It can get a little bit, I wonder why this isn't working kind of feeling. Actually it can give you a headache, training to focus. I just wanted to bring that up. You hadn't said anything about that. And I just wanted to remind people that look, you do have to, that's the reason for, you do have to turn on in the daytime, you know, where it's not real bright and sunny. And speaking of that, it's beautiful down here in middle Georgia. It's going to get up in the middle 80s today, eyes with little white puppies, and it's beautiful. So that means I got to go out and do yard work. Quick, throw some of that in the box and shoot it to us. Yeah, right yard work. Hey, before I forget Galleria, so let's see John Connor is going to be doing signings there and If it all possible, he needs to be ready with his bike Galleria get it. Hey, well that was another money Anyway, I tell you what Marcus we got Another caller right behind us or anything. I've got to talk to y'all later. Thank you, sir. I'm our next caller Hey Fred jump in there, please Okay, yeah Mark, I had a question concerning snake bites. I was reading an army manual, but now I notice it's quite old, FM 21-76. And then I'm reading my PM 10-08 concerning snake bites, and the army manual tells you you've got to make an incision and tuck the venom out. And the newer manual, my standard operated procedure PM 10-08 says don't do that in big letters. I just wanted to ask you about that. I think I know the answer to that. One of the reasons is, again, there were two problems here. Number one is still extracting the venom. Now, there are several options, but the SOP is because they found that by actually cutting open the wound, you actually created greater number one, some circulation of the venom to areas that otherwise would not have been affected. Another thing to remember, have you ever seen what a snake bite does? You're down in an area where you probably end up more rattlers than we do. Well, I've only been down here about five years. I'm from Detroit, so I haven't seen that many rattlers. Okay. The reason I bring it up is if what happens is the histamine effect is such that what happens is the body injects fluid into the area. And if you've ever seen a lot of guys who have been severely, have had a snake bite that's been severe, the body rushes fluid into the area, appendage swells. Now if you're lucky, the response isn't too great. Needless to say, it's purely a matter of how much venom and what the allergic reaction is by the casualty. But typically you will have stretch marks. The tissue will break in many cases. One of the other issues with incisions that became a question with many of the different research projects that were done evaluating the casualties, if you actually cut into what is the epicenter of the track, the venom is located, which is a neurotoxin typically. then what's going to happen, wound channel, and as the body floods the area, literally the wound that you've started will be stretched open and create a catastrophic injury. Think about that. In other words, it's bad enough that you're stretching a balloon, but what happens if the balloon is stretched and you pick it with a pen? And then basically, we're looking at cutting. When you're cutting, what you've done is you're doing, typically you're going to be using a scalpel. You're creating an incision. The incision already creates of failure as the body moves to respond to the venom, then what happens is you'll see this wound actually expand and of course now the other half of this, the argument would be, and this was something that was dead also, that the body, a certain amount of that fluid that would stay in the area and expand the tissue is going to be evacuated through that channel. That's the other part about what they don't talk about. Initially the idea is that you're trying to extract as much of the venom as you can. But the disadvantage has been that still the body reacts in the same way. Typically you can get some, but still not all of. They don't show this in any movies. They always show you. How many movies have you seen where the guy gets snake bitten? All you have to do is show the guy he's cutting him flat. He's spitting out the venom and he's getting rid of it. My question has always been, if the guy has a cut in his mouth, I wonder if the venom responds in the same way it does to the wound when it swells up. Oh, that's a nasty thought, isn't it? Anyway, another one of the things that's not in the SOP that is something we learned a long time ago and it actually, it's one of the reasons that for our med kits, I would recommend a stun gun. Now that's not in the SOP because this is basics, but for advanced, with your medics and especially down where you are, I would recommend carrying a light duty stun gun as part of your first aid kit. and we're going to go to, oh we're at the top of the hour. Boy this is a terrible way to end it. Everybody's going, why? Mark's going to shock the guy at this admission. I'm sorry, I'll tell you what, can you call back Monday with the same label? We're going to follow through on this. Can you do that for me? Okay Mark, you have to do that. Thank you very much. And call earlier please, because I want to touch on this a little bit more. But anyway, appreciate that and thank you. Go through the SFP, use it accordingly because it's tough to structure the unit. That's the reason for putting it out. And thanks for the question. We'll be back. Okay, well we're gonna explain that, we're gonna explain that more when we come back on Monday, but think about neutralizing the neurotoxin. Something you can also be done with bee stings where people are allergic to lobster bees. God bless the republic. Death to the new world order. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen, the Empire is on the run. But we are on the march, both day and night. U-Roc, kick him in the flats, walk him over there to the border, throw him over to the rabbit, drug-dealing chihuahuas, and let them chew on the body parts. Make sure they bounce on a cactus first. We'll all tell you what Frank's up next. Thank you Don. God bless you Mark. God bless America. When looking at your personal preparedness level, remember the freeze-dried guy.
