Mark Koernke discussed preparedness and supply management on Quartermaster Friday, August 13, 2010, focusing on food preservation techniques including drying mint and zucchini, canning strategies, and container reuse. He covered defensive storage systems against rodents, the use of tin cans and salvaged materials for construction and fortification, and detailed several surplus ammunition and firearm deals including AK magazine pouches, 8mm Mauser rifles, and 223 ammunition. Koernke emphasized the importance of carrying proper combat loads and web gear for personal security, referencing a rancher's death as a cautionary example. The episode concluded with Dutch Jones beginning his program, discussing militia organization and community feedback.

For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the 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 is 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 and you've traded in your name. You've given government control to 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 won't be blamed. 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 torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each God given right we only watch in 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 fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Is this still the land of the free? Gentlemen, this is the evening intelligence report. I am Mark Cornky and butter knife One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories, Central, West, Southeast, and North. Well, ladies and gentlemen, you are listening to us on LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com, pbn.4mg.com, and we are on live 365. Then go to Liberty Tree Radio. We're also on AM and FM micro stations, CB base stations, and ultra-net technologies both east and west of the Mississippi, along with southern and central Alaska. We were on the Hallmark network on the eastern seaboard from the top of Maine to the bottom of Florida, from the bottom of Florida across the ark of the Gulf of Mexico, headed towards Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, a big chunk of Nebraska then, a period of Wyoming, and across the to Iowa slash Iowa, passing to the east over the Mississippi River, then to the Golden Spike Project across the eastern half of the country, cutting like a sine wave almost across the eastern part of the nation, from the middle all the way up to the very tippy-top corner over there towards New York and Pennsylvania. Anyway, it is a beautiful hot, muggy day. Look, it was threatening to rain again and again, and it's still way off on the horizon, but right now it's just muggy and hazy. And still warm, but it hasn't rained so far. I'm going to tell you what, though. It's probably going to tonight, if not tomorrow. We'll see what happens. BK out there where you are, you're next to the woods. What's it look like there? And what is the date today, sir? Well, it's all hot and steamy here, but we've had some interesting stuff. We had some pinpoint storms the other day where almost nobody was aware there had been a storm, but in some very, very tiny areas. Trees were uprooted, thrown onto houses, all kinds of stuff. So a quarter mile away, nobody knows there was a storm. Very, very weird. So it is 13 August 2010. It is Friday. It is the last hour of the day and the week. So that makes this one of those Friday the 13th Quartermaster Corners. That means lucky 13s. Buy everything in 13s today. Always remember that. 13. We've got to have 13 of. It's called a baker's dozen by the way. Uh, Baker's doesn't of everything. Hey, don't you feel bad about the 13th? Nah, actually I've had pretty good- I shouldn't say a word, because then of course something happened the next minute, but nah, we've actually had pretty good luck with the number 13, so I can't complain. But I don't put a lot of weight in that sort of stuff, but it just occurs to me that my PC just blew up today. Less than an hour before airtime, and I've kinda got it running now, but uh, oh wow, in retrospect I suppose something went berserk. Dun dun dun! see there we go the yeah i told you i told you and feel like you should never attempted man what happened yesterday before to end a better problem computer just today with one of those many days working things happen well no i did something stupid i plugged in a cable instead of powering the whole thing down for sure the made any difference but i guess i would go to card somewhere so although it is the point kapow but well Well, I'll tell you what, it is Quartermaster Friday and that means guys that we're worried about supply and support, getting to the troops what they need, when they need it, and trying to come up with ideas and solutions for the problems that we face. Now, before we go any further, I want to touch on something. We're now into trying to do everything we can with all the food we've got coming in out of the gardens and from the wild. And drying is one of those solutions. I just did, oh, probably, I think, now you've figured out, probably a half pound's worth of of mint. It has been through the dryer, it's in the canister, and it's ready for whatever application. I can take it by the stalk, put that right into the, if I needed it during the winter, let's say I get a deal on eggplant, I want to do a pickled eggplant. Well, mint's not growing a whole lot through the winter. I could dig some up maybe through the snow if I, and I know where it all is, if I wanted to, but if I dry it, I can use that just as well as the fresh. Fresh is better. But drying means I don't lose any of the nutrients, I don't lose any of the flavor, you rehydrate it, especially with the brine. Oh my goodness, it's going to work out just fine. So drying is a solution. Another thing we're doing is zucchini. We have a lot of zucchini. Well, we're going to can it. We have been eating it constantly and we're going to continue to eat it as part of lunch and dinner and whatever. and salads by the way, but also slicing it into about one quarter inch thick slices, a little more, a little less, depending on your choice, and drying it like big coins. BK by the time we're done with this, it's like potato chips. That's what's really neat, except that they're veggie potato chips, but wait a minute, they're not deep fried either, it's just conventional drying. The only thing you want to do is get right the thickness. That way you've got a little bit of consistency, because remember zucchini are a lot of moisture. I don't think you can do this with watermelon. I've never tried. There's not a whole lot. Once you remove the water, there's not a whole lot left of a watermelon. Yeah, so I don't think we'll go that way, but we have done pickled watermelon rind and things like that, and you can do a lot of things with watermelon, you never thought. But in this case, with zucchini, many of different solutions. You can also take it, dry it, and then pulverize it and create a powder. to create base, to go in soups or to like a quickie when you're doing noodles and other things you want to add some different flavor and a little different consistency to it. So there's a lot of things you can do with it. But right now, drying it makes sure that we don't lose anything to Normal you know short-term storage waste because that is a big problem you got so many things to process you're trying to can things you're trying to dry things You know if you have the machines that can run separately and you can do something two tasks at the same time Well that means you're not going to have to worry that much the big thing that is making sure you've got containers to put stuff in and I save up stuff all through the season in preparation for what we're doing and The neat thing is if you're smart you take and have all of that product in a certain kind of container certain kind of like peanut butter container or certain kind of another thing I save up are the everybody by these soles when they're on sale during the season or for the dollar store. Well I save the jars up and when I do a project where we put a certain type of food stuff together, that jar only gets a certain type of food stuff. The advantage is that just on glimpsing you realize, oh yeah, I know what that is, that's what I need right there. And you'll ID it by the jar, by the container. This is for drying stuff. We can reuse jars for wet packing. Nancy did a little bit of research on this and jar lids are available. If you do a little more research you'll find that rather than throwing your glass jars into the recycling bin, you may just want to stack them up after you ID who has the lids. If you ID the number off the existing lid, you can buy one-time use replacement lids for those jars. So that is an option too, like the salsa jars or any of the special food, processed food with wet packs. You'd be able to recycle them at least a couple more times before you put them into other category uses. the very least for dry packing there's a solution is glass a real real portable well it's conveniently portable but yeah you gotta be careful with it because one smack and cheese crack as we know and then you've got broken glass so uh... it's still great for home storage works well it's a it's a source for you've already got something you're pulling off the shelf for your consuming something you're using that up and for whatever dollar you spent or two dollars or fifty cents you get every penny out of it with that second use which is really critical stories and ten women all we've got a recall really have again or trip first of all it's a long-distance call and i want to hear you clearly are you having difficulty getting into the chat room is that the idea that i i i didn't figure out how to do you familiar with irc he's an all-in-the-way became he's in austria that's fine i've heard c is international it's uh... internet yeah i know i i'm i'm not about to Java is a front end for an IRC server, so if you have difficulty getting into Java, you can do that with various web browsers and Java installed, but if you have difficulty, you can install an IRC program. And the server name you need to know is IRC.net. i r c storm dot net yes or was one word dot net so it's i r c dot i r c storm yes the room name is liberty tree radio all one word again because uh... i was the three of the three unrestricted okay simply connecting you'll be good e p five which is not too bad very good well you know again that where you are understand and they'll give us a follow-up i think we're calling back about uh... george talking about going to europe to work over in ukraine in georgia and as you're saying it's a lot riskier than most people realizing what we're getting a little old media as opposed to reality or two different worlds correct yeah it's it's like you enter a world but even the the again well there's the different different people with different backgrounds george i think is uh... should take a look very carefully because he's not a you know necessarily going to get me buddy space which means uh... you know he's safe there but if somebody perceives like you said that he's uh... somebody's a target then you've got to be ready to defend himself example people that by my just walk control of our problems and now we remain in the u.s. a melting pot culture so it's uh... very much a shock to uh... encounter that sort of phenomenon for We expect everybody to be somewhere in between Best Buddies and Stranger Mode on First Acquaintance. It's funny you mention melting pot. Not a fun deal. Okay. Very good. Thank you, sir. And again, as a follow-up from one of our friends overseas listening, we have a lot of listeners. We've got to do this. And by the way, we have friends listening in Slovenia, European states. uh... we have people sitting in austria germany i mean the list goes on and on and on and we've been trusted we have a lot of listeners in communist china until one day the communist chinese all of a sudden for so is we know great deal restriction on the internet and we only had two listeners i figure that was naval intelligence and army intelligence well either that or uh... red army and secret police keep you know exactly But that's all that's left. I think it's gone up a little because they've incorporated a few other intel groups because whoever is getting ready to do the United States, they want to be able to ID the guns. I think they want more of their people to understand that if they're going to be fighting here, who they're going to be fighting. That's really what it comes down to. Remember this following phrase, a rifle behind every blade of grass. Hopefully by the time we're done, there will be two. In fact, a few other things. Much bigger than the rifle, too. We're seeing an interesting response internationally. I think a lot of people are realizing that the situation with America and the threat to it is going to have a phenomenal ripple effect across the whole planet. That's pretty obvious. And the fact that the American people aren't exactly coutouing to the whole scam is being reflected in conversations around the globe, not just here in the United States. uh... an interesting note just as just an example of how things have changed you know bk real quick here worry where we next in a remission you know that right and i wish it was a very liberal college campus town let me tell you here we are and we're a bedroom community where the part of the the the population here in dextra majority of it deal commute to out of the outside of the jury to an arbor or areas beyond in arbor around the detroit area and this year right now we've got next to the is going on you know that the local bus are that used to be just uh... sales day when all the stores were to bring all their old merchandise out of the shelf and you off the shelf and put out from the store for okay commercial garage sale where a commercial garage sale and for years that's all it was it was really cool because while i didn't know you had that the back room all you have to have this sense that one of you We still haven't sold them all. Oh cool, I want one of those, you know, that kind of thing. Well, this always gives everybody the chance to hobnob, including politicians, as you can imagine. Now, last year, when we had, in the year before, of course, and every year before that, we've always had all the different parties with tents right downtown where the middle light is. Right in the middle of downtown there's a bunch of extra parking, or not parking space, but sidewalk space. And so they put up canopies and the Democrats and the Republicans, and usually the independents are there too, although they kind of just wander around and give out stuff randomly to everybody they can. But what's funny is, well, last year we had the Democrats and Republicans, and the independents even had their tent, and then there were certain candidates that put tents up. This year, the Democrats are nowhere to be found. They are gone. They are not there. Not even, at least they could get two volunteers last year. I mean, they could. But by then it was already souring. This time last year, everybody was looking at them and going, oh bummer. And they always put their eyes down, oh, they mentioned Obama. I was hoping they'd forget. It's only been eight months. And what's funny about that is this time around, last year it was bad. Nobody would go near them, they would look at them with eyes of anger. And then the people who were at the booth would avert their eyes or would be hoping that maybe it was just confusion because the people couldn't read because they were from the public school system. Hey, you guys haven't bought my gasoline and paid my mortgage yet, was it? That's right. Where's my free gas? Well, anyway, this year they have not shown up. Well, they should show up only if there's something to be gained from it and if showing up would provoke people then they're probably better off just hiding for a while. I would say now it'd be, there they are, burn them! Quick, the two that were there fled towards the left, always know where to retreat. Retreat across water, maybe you can burn the bridge. Aw, it's concrete, that won't work. Where will you retreat to? There's no place safe in this town. So it's rather fascinating, in the middle of liberalism, they could not even find enough volunteers, or anybody who is willing to man the tent so they could promote their latest Soviet for whatever reason. Not even the tent was put up. So we'll see. Maybe tomorrow they might scour the county and find somebody. But normally they would be set up before everybody else, to be quite honest. We've watched this. This is a small town. Come on guys, how much is there to look at? and normally the uh... demicons will be the very first to set up everything ready to go and maybe you know really excited about giving everything they could print out today nowhere to be found nothing but wind whistling through the space normally where they would stand bk so that should tell you something guys and this is the episode i mean i won't say it's the heart of darkness completely because that's washington d c nowadays and maybe san francisco but uh... uh... you're there's no one i mean literally nobody and uh... even though well of course the first thing that disappeared locally here with the obama barn that was the first after the obama barn went and everything was downhill from there and we didn't know but he attacked the littlest with funny you know because it was probably going to be violence in this nobody attacked the obama barn nobody through stuff at it nobody painted it up or did any of entities Instead, they drove by and shook their heads in disgust, and eventually many people, I think, drove up and talked to the guy and just laughed at him. Humiliation and embarrassment usually are at least the first ways of his bullet holes. I think that's what did it. It was just everybody just came up and just looked at him and laughed, and he just couldn't take it anymore. So he tried to be as politically correct as possible. He hired two black men to paint over Obama for president. so they went out and they painted the barn up and that way at least he got the old politically correct but still you know i just i miss them by only a few minutes guys they already taken off i didn't get the name of the company that i wanted to actually interview them and say how does it feel to be the two black guys get rid of the obama of our barn here well they could have said well you know the elections over you know money is money yeah yeah well we know better that guys are stuck from nineteen thirty two companies barn still barely bill legible but faded But once you paint a barn, hey, that's money already spent. You don't want to spend it a second time, especially a lot of money to get it right. You do have everybody's laughing at you as driving down the road. Yeah, in fact, you probably can get phone calls. You get out there on the tractor and you see these cars driving fast and all the kids are pointing out the window and laughing at you. uh... well anyway for the obama bar is gone and the demicons are nowhere to be found maybe will find them milk curry in the last minute but some people pass word on this is embarrassing you know it was supposed to be there all men and all the weekend american taken the ridicule man up over the door this is that like we're not here but take the vote anyway i want to touch on that i know we're in towards bottom the are here by the way is quartermaster friday It has been a muggy hot week as expected. It's a summer week. This is summertime. This is the kind of summertime I was used to here in Michigan. Of course, we fortunately see back in the day I lived on a lake and you know what? When it got like this, head for the water. Stay in the water. It's the water and don't get out. Stay in the water and swim around the lake. Swim down rivers. Swim up river. Lots of exercise. And you know again, still summertime. Soon of course, school would be back. And it was. Well, after you never know what's floating in that river, you probably don't want to go in there. Oh yeah, don't worry about that. It's no worse than figuring out what we were drinking and who was drinking it last week. If you've got a river water supply, it's not good. Well, whatever Detroit throws in the river eventually ends up here. That's right, yeah. And other places. That's right, and down the St. Lawrence. Uh-oh, I have a four-footed friend here who's just trying desperately, one of the young ones who thinks that he can help better with the program than we can. He's trying to even be on the microphone here. OK, good cat. Anyway, Mouse, go kill Mouse. The big one is not pushy like the little one. Well, the big one is just, he just plops himself down in front of the system here and he's right here in front of me looking at me like, the heat's affecting everything. Could you imagine wearing a fur coat all day? I mean, guys, come on. And they do all year round. They are in lethargic mode, which is good, except when it goes after the mice. We have decimated the population here. One of the things to think about is why you have other animal support. Dogs, perimeter protection, and they deal with some vermin. Cats, they deal with rodents. And rodents, guys, that's one of the things. If it was a choice between mice and cats, you would much rather have cats around. Mice will nibble until they've nibbled away quietly from behind a wall into your storage area and then through as many containers as they can open. And it's always bizarre. It's like, well, they nibbled so far and decided they didn't like that as much as they thought. So they nibbled the next container because it smelled like the first container, and they will compromise that one. Now, this is another reason we talk about trying to use, you know, against thick wall storage systems. Even 5 gallon pails, though they offer good protection, unfortunately they don't nibble their way through there given enough time. So having something to keep the rodent population suppressed is a good thing and is part of your supply system and part of your supply maintenance system after the fact. Think about it that way. The other consideration is also equipment gear. Critters get into stuff like that, especially Rodentia. and that can cause all kinds of damage, nibbling, nesting, and problems that you are going to have to figure out how to fix if you didn't put them in check. So another thing to consider, why the feline friends, you look at them as an industrial, organic, mousing machine. They won't stop. In fact, they'll keep nibbling and they'll keep catching, and nibbling and keep catching. Eventually, the mice get the idea that this is not probably a safe place to be, so it will push them away from the area of nothing else. The other thing here too, again talking about storage and systems of that nature, is multiple defense layers. In other words, you know the old grainries, and you might want to think about this when you're putting stuff, especially foodstuffs in certain storage, cans are not a problem. They can't deal with it, they can't mess with the cans. But, and the biggest thing is oxidation is a threat along with heat. We don't want the food to get too warm and we don't want the containers to be compromised with moisture. But layers, for instance, tinning is a technique, especially if you have a larder, you might want to consider tinning the room. In fact, that was very popular years ago for the very reason we're talking about because we didn't always have plastic containers, we didn't always have metal cans, we didn't always have all these other cool instruments. In many cases just bin or hanging points were used. And even like we were talking about mint before BK, mint traditionally would just be hung upside down and allowed to air dry. There was no machine involved. And then of course it would be transferred to or it could be pulverized or like we described earlier, it would be converted. well in the meantime other critters you know have a tendency to be old get curious and especially with rodent ship this means lost of supply so we want to make sure that we uh... come up with the solutions that are that expensive easy implement and cleaning the room is not that complicated uh... in fact if you pay attention uh... you'll find special construction projects and such there's a lot of sheet metal is uh... tossed away for part about it galvanized and remember that uh... if all that fails you can just go out and buy it you can get 4x8 sheets like a big sheet of plywood of plantum sheet metal that's galvanized and bend it to the spec that you need to match say the wall in the house hey if you've got more time than money you can just unroll all those tin cans as you generate oh yeah actually that's something that used to be that's exactly what used to be done The depression meant that nothing went to waste. You're absolutely right. The tin can was the repair tool and is even now an excellent repair or utility tool for so many projects. Think about it. And or for if you all fails, if you just keep collecting, it's only a matter of time before you got that wall covered. A few tacks here, a few more tacks there, and of course you can pattern it out. If you want to really get fancy, save the circular lids that have the pretty colored prints on them. And you can even art it up a little bit when you're done. In fact, that's very vogue in certain restaurants that are trying to look antique, by the way, guys. Not uncommon, I'll give you an example here. BK, when we were working on this site, originally we stripped it out. There were holes for old chimneys, had gone through the fireplace, the fireplace wall had gone up and then on an angle and out. And lo and behold, when we cleared the wall, I looked up, there's print. And it was a campaign sign. from probably the 30s by 1932 33 part of a campaign sign nothing went to waste back then guys what was done as a campaign site a little like chamcee one now you lost ok we go get the signs yeah we can use those And every one of them was put to use. If you're sufficiently evil, the next door neighbor has stuff for sale. Well, tomorrow it's not. You've got a sign, and the next day they'll put up a sign, and tomorrow night you collect a sign. Pretty soon you've got enough to put those little plastic signs all over the basement. Yeah, supply and support. Now again, there's another thing that should be pointed out, is materials have changed too. Then there are things you can do with even the materials that are left. An example is most of the signs that are like special posting signs or campaign signs are nothing more than the wireframe. You know that the actual expense is for that stupid wireframe which is Chinese pop metal. But those frames coming off handy and the wire itself is very useful for a number of different projects. That's a nice stiff wire but in addition the sign itself It is very interesting, it is plastic but it's formed very much like corrugated cardboard. That's how the wire goes in, it goes into the slots. in the middle. So that's an almost quarter inch thick double layer sheet of plastic. That's an interesting construction material for low strength applications. It's waterproof. It doesn't rot, it doesn't break down. It actually survives. It was designed to be set outside in the extreme weather from hot to cold and continues to transmit its message, as they say. I think it would be further than further. It's about three square feet too. So that's not too bad. Let's do this. I know you had other things you wanted to touch on, so go ahead. If we run out of time here, jump in there, please. Okay, I was doing the usual BK shopping, and I have come across a few things there, a little bit on the random side. At Cope's Distributing, interestingly enough, they are offering the Romanian two-cell mag pouch. This is of course 30 round AK. But what's interesting about their offer is that they are priced at 99 cents a piece. And the two customer comments on there say that these appear to be unissued old stock. So at 99 cents. This may not be the configuration that most people would most prefer. It's a little inefficient in terms of usage of your belt. circumference to use an edge-wise two-magazine pouch. But at $0.99, well, one of the things that occurs to me is that it's routine for people to purchase these six-cell, molly, or commercial magazine satchels. I don't know whether you want to call them bandoliers or whatnot, but they're an assembly that hold a half dozen magazines and have a shoulder strap and so forth. If for $0.99 you can pick up one of these two-cell mag pouches, I would not be averse to sticking two of those back to back, adding a strap and saying, okay, I've got a four-magazine resupply pouch with a shoulder strap now, and it cost me about $2.50. So at $0.99 apiece, that grabs my attention, being the tightwad that I am. There is a similar offer. going on over at AIM surplus.com. No, wait a minute. That's not me. I'm on the wrong page. That's Centerfire Systems. Centerfire is offering three magazine pouches, also Eastern Block, also AK, 30 Rounds, all that kind of good stuff. What's interesting there is that they are offering a box of 35 of these for $30 total. Now, that's not free shipping. It's flat rate shipping at $10 for the order. but that is still an extremely low price that's very excellent very little pressure or a pop price yeah my don't ever complain about that ten dollars flat rate for the order like that is perfect right that box is going to weigh something because uh... that that's all that the canvas packed in there so uh... thirty five of those three cell pouches for thirty dollars plus shipping COPES will offer you the two-cell pouches for 99 cents apiece. Either way, you have some very inexpensive solutions there for AK Max. Now, the other thing about this, again, give out the contact number and the location two or three times so that everybody listening, if they want to take advantage of this, they can. For the 510 program guys, or if you're, here's another thing, you may want to donate some equipment to the guys down in Arizona. and in the process keep a certain amount for yourself. Now you can have a, I wonder if you could have the thing split shift, split, that would be interesting. Keep some for you if you didn't want to do it. I don't know, but given that Cope's distributing is offering the two-sal at 99 cents, okay, and Centerfire is offering that single box at $30, a single individual could easily afford a $30 box plus $10 shipping. If you've got a buddy that wants half of them, then you're all set. And again, we're the guys down there, arizonamalicia.com, to get the new address for shipping, arizonamalicia.com. Maybe you want to donate a box in that direction. If you have a militia unit that you're organizing and you're looking for backups or you're looking for a system, consider the fact that the AK mag is a unique sized mag. It's one of those things where everything about the AK was freestanding. It was based on its own system. and because of that uh... if you can get these things for ninety nine cents uh... for a double cell pouch like that guys gravel uh... you can we can reserve you can make a spare rigs let me put it this way remember that rancher who was out west who uh... got shot because he was helping some of you know uh... an assassin. He didn't know he was an assassin, but that's what he was. Yeah, supposedly an illicit immigrant in distress. And what happened is the man who was a rancher got comfortable with letting his four-wheeler do most of the work for him, which is nice as far as, say, maybe having my primary or my long-range weapon in a scabbard on that. But whenever I leave the vehicle, Then basic web gear, and it should be, it's like your bat belt guys, basic simple web gear. Four mags on two double-celled mag pouches. Four mags, two on each side of the eight suspenders. Couple of simple canteens, and maybe more ammo. In fact, personally I carry a lot more magazines, but let's just say you want to be casual. With a light rifle, especially some of the really lightweight AKs, he would have been carrying a fairly comfortable weapon. 6 mags, 5 mags, however many you want to carry. One on the weapon and either 4 or 6 or 8 on the web gear. But ideally we're going to say he's Golite. So let's just say he's carrying 4 mags in two different cells. It spreads the weight out nicely so it's not all lumped up in one big pile. He can carry his radio rig and his H suspender upper or his Y suspender upper. Everything's where it's convenient and when he gets on and off the vehicle it's not really in the way. It's not cumbersome. And that would have meant the difference probably between life and death because the assassin had to try and think that he could feel comfortable about shooting the guy knowing that he was not armed properly. In other words, he realized when he shot him, and what I can see is he was heading back towards the vehicle again, the little four wheeler, whatever it was he was using. And the assassin perceived the thought that, well, he would be with an arm's reach and he might not necessarily plug him right. There's all kinds of math going on through the nutcase's head. I don't recall hearing whether it was hit by a rifle or a pistol round. Well, he was hit from below on an angle upward. Then we could figure that if there were a pistol, then he could be concealed and waited for the guy to turn his back. Exactly. That's why, again, the pistol was concealed because, remember, he came upon the person. He actually called for medical assistance because he thought the person was ill. And it was in the exchange, back and forth, however developed, that he was shot from below upwards. So the person who did it was the person who was the supposed casualty was the assassin. Now, carrying the weapon with you, having the weapon on your person, having your combat load, or your basic security load. We'll call it combat load. And when it's lightweight like this, this is a security load. A kit like this with this type of cell would be perfect. It's not too heavy, you don't have way a whole, you're not carrying the kitchen sink, you're carrying enough to keep you out of trouble and to put some rounds down range. Poor man's body armor by the way too, despite what everybody says, I'm going to tell you right now. Magazines don't explode, okay? Weapons don't explode. Car tanks don't explode. explode takes a lot of work to do that although uh... when we're laughing about that we saw the movie of the day same thing guys get a stone bill the stonemobile conveniently just hits bumps into a tree and explodes in the fight I was living on the edge of my life all those years. I was driving stomobiles and would drive through the trees. We would miss the ice under the snow and slide sideways. I'd tap the tree with the front bumper. That's the last time I filled a tank with nitroglycerin. I was getting great fuel mileage, but at the end, it was a real bummer. Exactly. So here again guys, it just doesn't work that way. And having the material on hand and where it's close in your person changes the position, the mental processes of whoever's around you. But when you're casual, too casual, in a situation where you're at risk constantly, then you will be perceived as a victim rather than as perhaps a very difficult target, if not an impossible target to escape. You know, because even if someone gets shot, she has a problem with most of these cowards, like the one that attacked that rancher. He fired at him when he felt that he had an opportunity, but still, the man did not die right away. As is typically the case, unlike Hollywood, people don't die that easily. So if you've got enough energy left in you and the weapons at your fingertips, well, yeah, you may have gotten me, but you know, there's that one line, did I kill the guy that killed me? Yeah, you got him. You get my drift? So that changes the demeanor, which means the person may probably not even want to risk. He may flee, but he's not going to want to risk confrontation. That means having the equipment on your person. I addressed this in the first equipping tape with regard to garrison operations. And even a rancher who's patrolling pieces of property very large, it's his land. It's a garrison site. He's maybe an extended perimeter patrol, which is what he was, but he's still in a garrison environment. Now that's the only time when you'll hear Mark talk about changing out your combat load. If you're going to be there for a prolonged period of time, your ideal situation is this. My combat load doesn't change at all. If I can get equipment like this for 99 cents a pouch and I can pick up a pistol belt for a couple dollars and I can pick up an aid suspender, in fact I can get pistol belts from main military. 8 suspenders are wide suspenders from main military. These pouches for 99 cents. Magazines from AIM Surplus for $5.95 a piece or if you buy 10, $4.95 a piece for Bulgarian plastic AK mags. Now between that, I've only got maybe $20 tied up into the whole kit. I can afford to buy an entire garrison rig. You see how that works? and i don't have to change up my fighting load stays in the man status constantly for this special likely you'd be brought forward pk it makes all the difference in the world so to it go ahead please let me get more but i wanted to touch on that because i garrison rig does not have to have the kitchen sink on it it should have some basics more important ammunition ammunition you know an ammunition or animal slash mags great question like i said i could i could be uh... making some of the ninety nine tech guys into uh... You know, four magazine bandoliers, you know, resupply. Oh yeah, perfect. You know, you have nothing wrapped up in it. You have two of those at a dollar apiece and maybe some strap for 50 cents and a little bit of sewing or glue or whatever it is and there you go. It beats the heck out of the $15 commercial ones. Okay, JG Sales has an oddball item that tickled my fancy a little bit, certainly not for everybody. They are offering a Sterling carbine for $430. Not the most expensive firearm on the planet, not pocket change either, and the Sterling is certainly a little bit of an oddball. But what's interesting about this is this one is chambered for 7.62x25. which is a beautiful substitute for 9mm, which is the native caliber for the sterling of course, and currently is in good supply and quite cheap. Now there is one gotcha. This guy uses a reworked StenMag, which doesn't sound that bad until you realize that their reworked StenMags are $40 a piece. So, I don't think anybody would be interested in this unless they were perhaps willing and able to examine one of those mags and rework some stems themselves, some stem mags themselves, which can be acquired cheaply. But it was an interesting item that they are offering a Sterling in 7.62x25, which is quite a competent caliber, low recoil, fairly hot, all that kind of good stuff. I thought I would throw that one out just as a grins and giggles item. We are not all that comedic on this program. That's our idea of comedy. Any comments on that? No, go ahead. AIM Surplus does have an offering which I find interesting. Anybody that's interested in the Mouser platform They are offering a Czech VZ 24 8mm Mauser rifles at $210 apiece. Now the photograph is of one that looks absolutely beautiful. I don't know whether they are all in that condition. But that as a 98 Mauser variant should not have a problem with parts. Actually, the Mauser being what it is should probably almost never need one. 8mm is a very, very competent round. AIM Surplus is also offering 8mm Mauser on the stripper clips right now at 340 rounds for $90.00. Or is that $100? It's a little bit difficult to read. Yes, it's $100.00. So, 340 round can at 100. This is the older green lacquered style cartridge case, which is the good stuff. It's on five round strippers already. It's in a spam can. 340 rounds per can at $100 per can. And they're offering the VZ24 8mm. This is Mauser 98 variant at 210. Now, that's the same price as the Gunshow Sharks are trying to get from Mosin the Guts. You can pick up Mosins for $89,99, $109, that sort of thing, if you don't mind picking them up as Brady Guns. But all of the Liberty Arms resellers are trying to get $150 to $200 for them. If you don't mind purchasing a Brady Gun, this is a C&R item. at $210 you can get a VZ-24 8mm which would be a very very competent placement rifle and 8mm ammunition at 340 rounds per hundred which seems very very attractive by current standards. Go ahead. Well, another thing too, give the contact number out again two more times for everybody on that one. That is AIMsurplus.com, AIM, Alpha, Andy and Mike surplus.com. Again, quantity, if we have any kind of quantity where you can lay it away, once you do have these, reconfigure either zip lock bag them, seal them up, I don't care what it is, actually everything we've talked about so far. I want to leave a lot of those spam cans alone until I need to. I'm just going to repackage one of them for immediate grab. That spam can is such a good system. Perfect storage system. My inclination is not to mess with it. Again, with these, if you're going to put any in the fighting load, reconfigure it into 30 caliber cans, keep the rest in the... Because the can is also the optimal size for transport. The spam cans, consider this. uh... they looked at the same issues we've been bringing up for years uh... here on the intel report what the average weight that somebody can handle and we say somebody remember morris natasha blood a stock you know of them be you know all you guys over here probably are just a local presence yes and you're now going to be mules in our mule trained to carry the m over there to that fighting position everybody grab a can Right, 15 to 20 pounds is feasible for anyone and comfortable for adults, no matter what age. Exactly. And that's what they were looking at is, can we come up in the way of a reasonable and equitable package that can be handled in a, shall we say, manual, logistic situation where there's no, nope, I'm sorry, the Huey's not coming in, the Rotary wing aircraft are all downed. We don't have any fuel for the trucks except for the vehicles that are moving the wounded and moving much heavier ordnance forward. So here's how it works. If it's within reasonable walking distance, you guys figure out how you want to carry it, but everybody grab a can or two of you grab a case and follow me. And that's how it's going to work. People would improvise cargo frames and all kinds of things. People, if they were a little healthier, might be expected to tote that whole and that's just as likely as not. Still, the system was designed to be very user friendly. You've seen this. Oh, and by the way, when all these cans and things get to the other end, do you think they go to waste guys? When they're busy, when they've done, open up the ammo. Do you know what happens to the ammo in the ammo crates? They're sandbags. If you don't think so, take a look. My favorite is some of the images from both the Kosovo campaign Any of the situations in Belarus or you see the fighting situations in Eastern Europe at all, in more modern times, pay attention to where the ammo cases are once they're used. That nice can has so many different purposes or uses. It can be anything from a sink to being filled with earth and dirt and used like a brick. You throw some rubble in there with it and you've got aggregate. I will remind everybody when you're filling sandbags, if you can fill it with an aggregate type gravelly sand, you're better off because that will more likely stop bullets because the hard objects combined with the compression and only resistance of the sand. It helps to stop a lot of stuff from getting through. Well, guess what? The best bit of a stiff container like that is that it resists expansion as the bullet comes in and hits the sand or gravel or what have you. And that causes all of these particles to jam up against each other and present more resistance to the bullet. So an ammo can that is packed full and closed tight. it's almost a break as far as resistance to penetration is concerned compared to a sandbag which will slow down and eventually stop the bullet but will expand and get out of the way to some extent another thing to if you'll notice where they did this uh... wherever they need to walk you know let's say that you've got fortifications your building that are underground you have to come out into an open area and you need to Well, look at the boxes, the way the boxes are stacked, the wooden crate that the two cans come in. The spam can, then of course, if again you only peel off so much, you've got a nice self-contained instrument that you can actually keep pretty dry and they stack like bricks. Think about it, you can interweave them, you can lie, you don't want to just go straight, but you could if you're in a hurry. Think about how quickly you can stack, how much material between you and somebody else. especially if you're looking at incoming fire. So the other advantage is stuff isn't going to get hung up, the bags aren't going to drop or droop, anything leaks if it's shot, don't worry about that when it comes to fuel and sand. But still it makes for a nice clean corridor or access point. And when you're trying to jam bodies through an area, you want everybody to keep moving, you don't want anything to drag them, slow them down. So there's a lot of advantages to this kind of construction and using materials at hand. Now it doesn't mean you won't supplement with other stuff. You've got all kinds of junk. Engineers bring in all kinds of goodies on top of whatever else is already going to the front line, so to speak, or going to a front area of operation. That's the way to look at it. Then there'd be a front line. It's the idea that as this stuff goes forward, nothing that's man-made. And you've heard us say this on the air time and again, nothing that is man-made is going to go to waste. Now, if all else fails, let's say I want to do overhead cover, another thing to consider, although it's not perfect, you take that Spam can, cut the lid off all the way and flip it upside down. Now, nothing's getting in, you know, past that until the thing corrodes and rusts away. So if you have a bunch of those and you stack them side by side, then you lay your VisiQueen over that. Then you put your next sandbag layer over it, you've got a geodetic design, You've got your lower panel or pallets, actually nothing more than shipping pallets are sometimes used for overhead support. They distribute weight well, they're designed to hold weight. You take the cans, you flip them upside down. If you've got nails, you tap them in at an angle here and there to keep the cans from moving. You can also border them in with boards. Then you lay your visit queen over that for your final moisture barrier so you don't have water dripping in on you from above. Then you put your layer of sandbags in place, then you put your alternating layer of sandbags in the other direction, then you cover with sod or you can put another layer of plastic down too to help preserve your sandbags. And then you lay your sod on top of that and your natural cover and lo and behold you look just like the rest of the terrain, but you've got a pretty strong and pretty durable system in place. There are all kinds of considerations. Those cans are a tool. They can be made into shovels, they can be made into wash basins, water catchers, you name it. You even cut both ends off and you start pinning them together by driving nails through and you create water troughs to move water away from your fighting positions. Most people don't think about irrigating away from where they are standing. See, so there's lots of different ways that the junk can be used to make better junk. And I'll tell you what, a nice tin rain trough would collect a lot of water too, wouldn't it, Bay K? Yes, it would. Yeah, that's a way to get more water, even though I better purify it. I will tell you that, because I don't know what's in the rainwater. Yeah, you don't know what they're spraying overhead. But at least I got something I can use to wash stuff with. Again, we'll purify it. You can boil it. You'll then run it through a filter system. You may do a lot of other different things. And that varies depending on conditions. But at the very least, again, you're taking that material and using it for a positive result, positive end result. And it's purely a matter of imagination. Think about it. Just purely a matter of your imagination. And when you've got raw materials as good as that, my imagination can go a long ways to make me a lot more comfortable. uh... with the old before can really run on time here well she got left we have room for one more uh... ds g arms that delta c r a golf arms dot com they continue to have the field she to to three that is sixty two green f m g uh... to to three uh... one thousand rounds for three hundred dollars that is not a bad price these guys are not to my knowledge offering any sort of free shipping so you do have to check that But $300 for 1000 rounds, that's the 62 grain boat tail in 223. That is not a bad price at all. DSG Arms, says Delta Sierra Golf Arms dot com. And again, we're right at the top here. I know we're going to be closing out. Guys, Quartermaster. We're supposed to come up with solutions. We're never possible. Write it down. If you've got something that you can help make part of your SOP, or if you come up with an idea, you want to make sure you write it down and share it with the other people that are in the formation or in the units that are assisting you. Military has what they call PM Magazine, where anybody that comes up with a neat, widget idea is putting cartoon form into a monthly publication. Everybody looks at it and goes, wow that's cute, and there's a cute little girl there, and there's an old Sarge and usually another character, and the widget solution is offered. Well, talk about solutions. We're at the top, so we gotta let you go, guys. God bless the Republic. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. We are on a march, both day and night. We're off. Thank you, BK. You're welcome. God bless, and we've got... Let's see, Dutch coming up right behind us guys, so everybody pay attention there, stay tuned and don't leave LTR. We're going to just begin you with live broadcasting, but that's it for the intel for the weekend. Thank you BK. If a family protection, hunting dangerous or delicious animals, keeping the king of England out of your face. Government is not the solution to our problem. Government is the problem. Here's a hint for you geniuses out there. I'm paying you back! For nothing if you don't have freedom. It's all that cheese they eat. Seems like every other day somebody's rolling a 15 pound cheese wheel at me. But out of all points, full of them. I'm not gonna stand for this. I'm gonna call the newspapers, the TV stations, the jazz stations, everybody! What kind of radio show is this? Sit back down and shut your trap! It's time for... Radio show. Radio show. And now for something completely different. Okey-dokey! I'm Dutch Jones. This is the second hour of the Dutch Jones radio program coming to you live Friday the 13th, 2010. Yesterday we weren't on. I'm just too sick. I tried to do the show on Wednesday. I get about halfway through it on Wednesday. But I seem to be okay today. Just taking it easy, eating a lot of bananas and a Modium AD. And I'm going to get through two hours today. Welcome to our Liberty Tree radio listening audience. We appreciate you guys more than you know. I like your emails, I like your input. Even your negative feedback helps me do a better job. So thank you so much for sending that in. And what do you send that email to? Well, it's the Dutch Jones Show at Yahoo.com. Actually, it's not the Dutch Jones Show. The email is actually D-U-T-C-H J-O-E-N-S S H O W at Yahoo dot com. That's Dutch Jones show at Yahoo dot com. You can also find me on Facebook. If you go to Facebook and just type in Dutch Jones, tell me you heard me on Liberty Tree Radio or You Broadcast or CB Channel 2. Wherever you heard it, let me know and I'll add you as a friend. I've had some real weird friend requests the last couple of days. I had, where is he? I gotta look it up here. Now Ed listening up there may be able to give me a... A little bit of input on this. I did add him after I asked him some questions. It's the guy that was involved in the Huttari thing. What was his name? Lacko Waka? Lacko... Lackimar? Oh wait, I guess they did it wrong here. A-C-K-O-M-A-R. Something like that. Whatever it was but no that's not LACOMAR, but he has to be my friend and I don't know if you listen to the show But I was surprised that somebody you know maybe I don't know Really weird to me that that guy would want to do something like the Southeast Michigan Volunteer or something, but he he wants to be my friend on Facebook But go ahead and let me know who you guys are and I'll add you as a list add you to list It's a good way because what I do is everything I'm going to talk about even some things I don't get to I post on Facebook and I throw those out and then I give little warnings that I'm about to go on the air, things like that. And throughout the day I also get suggestions that way for the show, so I really appreciate it. I do like the feedback. I mean a lot of feedback from people from Michigan who are up in that area that hear me on Liberty Tree Radio. One of the biggest ones is they want me to talk about how to start a militia. And quite honestly, I'm a little fearful of that because anyone who listens to Liberty Tree Radio is already getting a good doctrinal training in that. Although I'm more than happy to give my feeble side of it, so we'll be doing that over the next few weeks. Some organizational things, and I'm just going to give you my opinion of it. It's not written in stone. It's just the four or five militias I've been involved with and how things work there, what didn't work, how we try and pull things together. So that's fine. Got a couple emails saying they like the show except they think I'm a little racist. Not really sure why you say that because I'm not actually a racist. I have nothing against other races. I just point out facts when I see them and my comment to that is just keep listening. Keep listening and you know that being a Christian I'm bathed in the blood of Christ and I accept only one race. We're all human. Now I may have some certain opinions about cultures, which is a different thing, so call me a culturalist. I do not appreciate certain cultures that are usually pagan in origin or ungodly. So if you listen to the show enough, you'll see that I'm not actually a racist. I just call it like it is. And if you can't handle that, that's your problem, not mine. And that's just the way I do it. Because everything I do here, I try to be biblically based. Let me tell you something. The local people that listen, they tell me if I step out doctrinally. They tell me if I cross a line. I get feedback instantly from the old folks that listen to the show here locally. And that I go to church with and my militia folks that I'm friends with. It can be kind of harsh sometimes because we have to sit down and chew the fats. And when I'm wrong, I admit it. But when I know I'm not biblically or constitutionally or historically wrong, I stand my ground and they learn something. And that's the way it should be. Done in good faith, done in good spirits, and not just about dragging each other down. Well folks, I think that's pretty much it. We don't have a phone today, so you can't call in. I mean, you could, but I don't have it hooked up because we don't have a sound board anymore. And that's one of the needs. We may have worked out our bank account issue, so we'll be sending some money real quick over to Liberty Tree Radio. We'll be chewing the pork fat, just to offend our Muslim listeners. If we have Muslim listeners, I'd be surprised. But we've got the money thing figured out. People that stole money are going back in because they got caught. So we'll be able to send some money in the next couple days over to Liberty Tree Radio to help pay for the bandwidth. And as always, if you want to take part in that and help out, just go to LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com. Is there a chip in there or is that on their other one? Yeah, Libertytreeradio.4mg.com and there's a chip in there and just throw in five bucks. Everybody just does a buck or two, five bucks here, and just say it's for the Dutch Jones hour that he does four times a week, whatever. Just say for Dutch Jones and he'll know it's coming from our listeners and it'll help them out and I encourage you to support them. They are the bigger factor. It's like the chain of command. We're the little squad level. They're the bigger level. I don't know how you would define them, but it should flow bigger. They have a much more larger outreach than we do so I want to make sure that they get supported wholeheartedly. And anybody that carries their signal out from there, thank you.
