Live 365. With all the bowing to foreign dictators and apologizing for America, even a president as great as me can't do everything. So to keep us safe, Homeland Security released a report called, The Radical Right-Wing Extremists Are Coming to Kill You, or something like that. While it provides no actual evidence of domestic right-wing terror, believe me, I know terrorists when I see one. Why, some of my best friends are... So if you'd like to be among the first on the New Terror Watch list, visit Knob Creek Gun Range. Hone your skills with family and individual memberships and unlimited range time. Stock up on ammo before the gun bans go into effect, or buy a handgun, assault rifle, or reloading supplies.

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 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 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'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 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 can be both. 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 what you will fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? Oh, 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 to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke he'd vanished in the mist from 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 rite, we only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside in a 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? Is this still the land of the free? And good evening, ladies and gentlemen. This is the evening intelligence report. I'm Mark Quirky. And a better knife? One day closer to victory for all our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories, central, west, southeast, and north. Well, ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on... Liberty Tree Radio dot 4 mg dot com, pbn dot 4 mg dot 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-mint technologies both east and west of the Mississippi along with southern and central Alaska. We're 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 Oh, that's right. Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, a big chunk of Nebraska. Of course, we also were the third of Wyoming, Iowa, slash Iowa, and then back across, oh, down the road, over the fields to the other side of Mississippi. And there, well, as sure as I am, Sergeant Carter, we are part of the Golden Spike program. And we want to say thank you to all of our friends there doing their part in keeping up the work. I'm going to Make sure that you've got everything squared away. Contact your team leaders. It is going to be just a stomping, busy weekend. But, BK, tonight, right now, this is a special hour of the Intel report, isn't it, sir? Well, it is 20 August, 2010. It is the last hour of the day and the week for the intelligence report. And that makes this the regularly scheduled Quartermaster's Corner. Bum bum bum! Well, that in mind, and I will remind everybody here, guys, we're going to be looking at a lot of activities by the end of the month that are very, very critical. We need to have your pass on or you'll need to participate in. And it can be any combination thereof of the way things are looking. a number of different subjects we're going to be touching on tonight. And one that I'm going to do is we're going to construct a path to a degree for you to jump in there and go find yourself an AK package. No, we're not going to get you the rifle, but we're going to kind of show you that, guys, it isn't that hard to truly get into the program and plug in everything that you need. to get the job done. In fact, it's a very, very simple program. Now, one of the things that we've arrived, and especially arguing, and we've been covering on the Quartermaster here, Quartermaster Friday, is that you're your own supply sergeant, first of all. So, unlike the Donative Destruction and all the characters therein, you've got to do a lot more work to get the stuff out. Again, everything accomplished. We're the ones that do it. Nobody else is going to do it for us, right? We have a lot of different connective points, a lot of connective tissue that allows us just by practice and because we've accumulated data to pretty much our fingertips track stuff down for you or at least point you in the right direction. Right off the bat, BK, I know you've got a list of things to cover, so let's get into that first. As we tick down the list, we're going to probably branch off a little bit here and there, but we're going to stay focused on what needs to be done tonight. We'll remind everybody that because everyone's been at a state of higher level of alert and higher level of preparedness, all of the out there need to be paying attention to what all is going on. All the more reason to be on a schedule to accomplish things. And this includes your supply and support system and personal preparedness. I liken this to the BK to what I've been talking about a couple times today is the bricks. People say, I can't have a blast shelter. I couldn't afford a fallout shelter. Okay. There are 52 weeks in the year. We have been talking just in this cycle for three years on the Intel report about what you need to do. If every paycheck and by the way today is probably a payday for you Fridays typically are that goes all the way back to the old WAPA West days and you'll Guaranteed to be paid on Friday so you can get drunk on Saturday night. Oh, yeah. Well, that's really what it was all about anyway The interesting thing about this is that as as I would have to say if you were to just buy Five bricks five cement blocks every paycheck and a bag of ready-mix cement and we'll buy a bag of mortar, which is about $3.50 a bag, $4.00 or $5.00. We're going to go high on both the bags, 5 and 5. That's high because you can get it for less in places if you shop around. And there's other little tricks of the trade there if you buy in volume. But we're going to only buy a bag of each, about 5 and 5. Actually, the one's cheaper than the other, we're bouncing out. Then we're going to buy the blocks at $2.00 a block. Now, I'm not building this all at once, but progressively I've got a schedule of things I want to do and I'm going to accumulate the materials as I go. By the way, I can even add the materials as I go and it's not really a bad process. So if I share time and I picked out an area in the basement, I mapped it out and I figured out the area I wanted to cover. And in the first year, I just buy five blocks and a bag in a bag, every paycheck. BK, how many blocks would I have up at the end of 52 weeks? Well, 52 times 5 is 260. Think about that. 260 cement blocks. Now, just in case you're wondering how much space that will cover, this will be your math project for today. Go to your local school, or next time you're at the local hospital or whatever, count how many cement blocks make up a wall, height wise. Maybe you're probably going to hang ceiling there, so it'll probably be a little taller, but we'll just go to the hang ceiling. and then count how many bricks lengthwise it takes for you to add up to 260 cement blocks. And then you think about whether or not you could have in the first year of the last three years of the Intel report in one year put together a blast or at least a fallout shelter. Now, trust me, here's the problem. After three years, you have 260 times three. Now, that doesn't just mean you would have a wall. You could also have girth in between. By the way, what you do to cheat is cement blocks on the outside, interlock the baseline, and then fill in between with rubble, slash cement debris, and sand, and gravel, and sandbox sand, whatever you can. Lead pellets, chunks of, you know, off the range, whatever you want. And go keep right on going. Well, you're looking at virtually hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of cement blocks, guys. In fact, you're looking at 780 cement blocks. Now, that doesn't include the fact that like what Mark did today, you're driving down the road and you look along the road and somebody's decided they don't like their planter anymore that they made where they had a couple of 2x6s with cement blocks. And you get 8, 10, 12, 20, 30, 3 brand new never cemented cement blocks. for the price of stopping the truck and loading them into the truck and taking them home. So please tell me again how you just don't have the resources. It's a matter of scheduling. You know, scheduling. Okay? Out of the British version, scheduling I say. You know, schedule. Well, a relevant aspect of this is that the main function of a fallout shelter is to put mass in between you and the sources of radiation, the rationale being that they will mostly be short half-life stuff and you can wait out at least a couple, three weeks, that sort of thing. This doesn't necessarily require that you build a facility that can withstand any overpressure at all. In fact, if you have, say, a private house with a basement or something along these lines, you don't even have to do a traditional mortar-based masonry job. You can simply stack things. The whole idea is just to get the mess in between you and the overhead environment and so on. You could do something with 2x8s and stacking bricks or cinder blocks or what have you and make a little sub-room in your basement. and never mortar anything together at all. You just stack up enough of it to be enough mass and make yourself a little cave with a lot of mass that covers, you know, five out of six walls and point the sixth wall in the direction that you don't think there's going to be anything for a while. And you've actually accomplished much of that purpose. You don't have to actually build anything that's even permanent. You just build stacks of stuff and make it so that the straight line from you to anywhere outside the house has a lot of junk in between you and the source of particles. Over. Exactly, but here's the thing. You've got those blocks in place. You put all whatever you want permanent if you want or demi-permanent or for that matter this could be another location and then you also have something else. Like you said, we're building up our supply system because we're going to make sure that we're able to, hey, get down into that blast or fallout shelter and be safe. Well, guess what? Guess where all your food is. Where do you put your food on the shelves when you're putting this together? Where would that be, DK? Wouldn't it be inside that safe area you've created, no matter what you constructed of? Yeah, probably just about the same place you were making your hiding ball. So you kind of, you know, you make a place, you're the result of the order, put all this stuff, well, eventually you're building the place where everything goes. You see, you're working on it. That's my whole point, is that you wouldn't have to spend several thousand dollars or thousands of dollars all at once. This is a very patient project, but it's something just like all the rest of your preparedness. We're looking the past three years. We're not talking now you of course people thinking they're gonna have to you know Maybe mad rush to do stuff and you can do that But if you had even now you could start this there are advantages to this in general number one you end up with a with a really nice You know a nice location to store your food if nothing else so say you never walk in there and never do anything else Except you you have a nice clean regimented location. You've got it all blocked off You have it all shelved up you can inventory it you can reach behind it Grab what you need you know reach behind you know and stock and then reach from the front You know they'll be depending on you set your system up and you're squared away. You're done. You're ready to go I'll still want to beg. Oh, you're out of here when the time comes down to the basement down to the follow up shelters, slash a little more work, you know, blast shelter and away you go. So it's a matter of perseverance and that's what I'm asking for. We've got a lot of people out there that have the resources and you have the wherewithal. Now some I don't have to say this to, they're already smiling and going, oh Mark, I already thought about that and we're already doing it. Well, that's the whole point. We're going to reach the rest of you. But those of you that are out there, you don't have to call in and say, hey, I've already been doing this. What we will point out is that there are people. I'll speak for them so they don't have to worry about getting up on the radio and doing anything. People have already been doing this. You can too. And that's what we need to see happen. Whatever level of preparation, you can too. It's the can-do attitude that we need to really entrench right now. A lot of people are doing this, it's going to be World War III. Well, okay, yep, might be, but if that happens, we're ready for it. Now, there's a bunch of people that are saying, oh, just go ahead. If that comes, of course, we will go dark. But I would certainly hope that it's hot air or a false alarm. However, if it should happen, that becomes a wonderful dress rehearsal for your alternate energy, your generator, your stored food. How do you keep the refrigerator going if you can during, you know, two, three, four days, that kind of stuff. That would be an interesting opportunity for us to shake things down. And then when the lights come back on a few days later, we get to make notes of all the things we did right and the things we did wrong and be in better shape than a month later. In reality, if you think about it, that is exactly what happened when we had that power outage on the right coast, over on the east coast, remember, years ago, back in the turn of the century. It knocked out everything right here to our doorstep. In fact, just beyond where I'm sitting right now, by another three miles, was the maximum extent of that blackout. When that happened, we had people now think about this. This is what's interesting. This is also why we talk about operational security. One of the things that I have that we do is up front, we can put a couple of Wisconsin's all over the place. If you've ever been here, we have Wisconsin's on every wall that go antique and some brand new and some kind of Chai-Com copies and some American copies. They're either oil lamps or they're hanging candle lanterns. We had two hanging candle lanterns by the front door. They were something we've had for as long as Nancy and I have been married. and they were put up. Plus we had maybe one or two oil lamps at low level. No sense wasting the resources. And again, the one that was burning was a vegetable oil lamp. Okay, vegetable oil candle, as a matter of fact. For weeks afterwards, people asked, well, you didn't have the power out go there at all. You had your lights on. Now consider this. All we had were four lights running. And people's attention turned to that. That was memorable. Something to think about too there. So when we talk about, you know, how sometimes you want to do as the natives do, if it were a little more serious situation, maybe the hurricane lanterns wouldn't have gone out on the hangers where they are on the front porch. And maybe we would have done the blackout curtain thing the next step. And if we had any need for candles in the first place, well, of course, now in this day and age, we go one step farther. We were already experimenting with LEDs. Today, you could use dark blue, for instance blue or red LEDs down at floor level to illuminate so you can move around. And nobody would see what you were doing. Nobody could truly see what was going on. They might wonder, and if you see a little bit of a glow, they'd figure, ah, the peasant, he doesn't have much of anything. So those are things to balance out. On the other hand, it's amazing just how much four simple lights and four simple flames are from a candle or lantern. how much they actually did to change it from being primitive dark age to a post outpost of civilization in an area, a pool of blackness everywhere else. Here's an actual occupied household. There's actually people here. There's life and activity. What's funny about that, tying that in, is this is one of the oldest houses on this road. This goes back to the Indian wars of the early 1800s in the Midwest. and the house itself predates the foundation of the property, predates, or is just about the time of the War of 1812. But the foundation for this structure in its present form was originally boxed in, at least the western part, was done in 1822. And so, how that appeared that night is how this place appeared back when this was the Indian Trail and this was both in the post office. You know, it was a pub. It was an iron mongering. They did everything here. So it's interesting, full circle. All it took was four candles to do it, guys. Four lights, four little flames. I won't say necessarily candles, but four little flames. Now, we can do better than that. And we aren't going to go into the Dark Ages. There is no reason for us to go into the Stone Age, or even for the Mad Max scenario to play out if everybody does their part, which is really what we're trying to make happen. That's what our agenda is. We want everybody to be better prepared and able to deal with us. So, BK, what else you got for us, sir? Go ahead, please. Well, this one is a bit of a follow-up on the theme of the last two or three weeks. We have been reminding people of back to school specials and the loss leader giveaways that the big office chains have been offering. Now, I don't know whether that's over or whether there's one more week remaining. We'll find out tomorrow. if and when the newspapers come out and we see what the flyers look like. However, I was out rummaging around shopping for something else at one of my favorite geeky places that has power supplies and things like that, and I stumbled across a similar related offer. This is an outfit called GearSXS.com. X-ray Sierra. GearXS.com. And what they are offering is for $10 or $16 or $23, they will offer you a box of 2, 4 or 8 pounds of completely assorted clicky pens. These guys got a surplus purchase somewhere, probably a whole pallet, maybe it was returns from stores, who knows what. they guarantee absolutely nothing regarding the style or color except that they will be highly jumbled. All sorts of assorted makes and models and whatnot and probably at the cheaper end of the spectrum. But for instance, $23 you can get eight pounds of clicky pens in all sorts of colors and shapes and sizes. They say approximately 450 pens. So, if you have any need for writing sticks, that would get you all set up. They make no bones about it. They have a photograph of the guy standing there with a scale and a box throwing him in by the handful. So, that is Gear XS. That's Gear, G-E-A-R-X-S. X-ray-C-E-R-A.com. Highly prominent on the site. You can't miss it. Go ahead. Excellent. And for those people out there who are looking for a pen solution, example, this might be, what's the total prices include shipping? I believe they have a little bit of shipping charges per order, but I've never found their shipping charges to be outrageous. So, you know. You're going to say, how expensive can pens be anyway? You know what I mean? They're not that heavy. I mean, we know it's going to be eight pounds. How much? What is it? Eight pounds of feathers or eight pounds of pens? It'd be awfully heavy if it was eight pounds of pens. Yeah, but the eight pounds of feathers would fill your family room. Exactly. Well anyway, so again for our friends, might be a consideration here. We know that we've got that deployment down there and people are trying to figure out, hey, what can I donate that we can get a lot of for cheap. Well, I know that fans have their first and greatest priority, but that's the sort of thing that your household can use, especially if we find ourselves back in the manual data processing. What was the old joke? The non-electric word processor, and they show a photograph of a number two pencil. If we find ourselves in that position and doing homeschooling and all this kind of good stuff. Resources like this could be useful. Knocks off one item on the list and never think about that one again. Now interestingly enough, they don't guarantee color. Are we taking color of the pen or are we talking ink color? They're talking ink color. You may end up with green, red, yellow, purple, who knows what you're going to get. You'll probably be guaranteed to get at least one of any color you can imagine that anybody has put in a pen. I was going to say that would be kind of neat. That would be especially for our sovereign people. They need more red pens. Green serves a purpose too. You can use the colors for any number, not the least of which is also thrown in the mapping kit. That would be kind of neat. I can think of a use for some of these. Yeah. In fact, you've got all the basic colors probably to do mapping. If you want to do a hand sketch map, if somebody is halfway decent at doing it, You've got all the colors to improvise, adapt and overcome there, just for field use. I mean for, you know, CP use in the field, that'd be kind of neat. You can just see that, you know, after the grand war, the vampires are trying to figure out why they lost and they finally have to come down to it. Well, sir, I'm sorry, they just had better pens than we did. Eight dollars were eight pounds worth anyway, I won't say eight dollars, but eight pounds worth of pens. So what else? What's next on the list? Okay, I will remind people of something that we mentioned last week. DSG Arms still is offering the case of 1000 Fiocchi 223. This is 62 grain FMJ. It is boat tail. They're offering a 1000 round case for $300. This is not one of these new shipping specials, so you have to look into that. But that is a good price, especially for the 62 grain ammunition. That is dsgarms.com. DeltaCRGolfarms.com. All right, here's one that has tickled my fancy recently and I haven't quite managed to slip it in. This is more along the lines of a general utility item, but it seems to me that it could be very useful to us for a lot of things. The waste management people are trying to expand their market. And given that they pretty much control all the territories already, they're having to be a little bit creative about it. So the latest thing they have done is they are offering very cheaply with a large heavy-duty bag. They call it a bagster, B-A-G-S-T-E-R. The rationale of this is it's a very large sewn bag. You purchase it inexpensively, plop it down on your site. They want you to fill it with construction debris and then call them to come pick it up. Now, of course, all the money is going to be in the pickup fee. but this bag has heavy straps in it and so on and is designed for them to be able to pick it up with a mechanized crane and simply drop it into their truck. The plus side of this from our point of view is that we aren't necessarily interested in having them come pick up a bag, but they are selling the bag itself very inexpensively in order to suck people into using their bag and therefore committing to using their pickup service. So for $30, they are offering through various home centers and online and other locations, this construction bag, which they call the Bagster, B-A-G-S-T-E-R. Now I don't have exact dimensions on it. It looks like it's about the size of a sheet of plywood. So it's like maybe four by eight feet or something along those lines and several feet tall and has very, very heavy strapping built in so that their machine can pick it up. Now it seems to me that at $30, that is a darn useful item to put to other purposes. For instance, I could see using that as the liner on a coal bin. or if you are into wood gasification, the liner of a bin to store wood chips, or a more elegant method of moving around lawn clippings and leaves and so on. If you are going to do the lasagna gardening method, which is a layering method, you'll find yourself moving a great number of leaves around. The traditional method of doing that is to heap them on a tarp and then drag the tarp around. Well, that gets a little bit on the clumsy side. This bag looks to me to be a bit less clumsy for that sort of purpose. So, I'm sure that ingenious people can come up with many other uses for this. For instance, turn it upside down and call it an equipment cover. It is sewn, it's rectangular, it's got straps and so on. So, if we look into it, you can see photographs of this thing online. There's a website called TheBagster.com on which they promote this sack. I have looked around to see what the comparable state of the art is, and construction debris sacks are nothing new. But they routinely cost a couple of hundred dollars for something half this size. They are very heavy duty and they are designed for repeated use whereas this thing is designed for one-time use. It is poly, you know, woven poly. So it is not going to last years and years in the sun. If you keep it out of the sun, it probably lasts years. If you leave it in the sun, you probably last a year, maybe year and a half, two years, something like that if you don't put a lot of stress on it. But this strikes me as a very interesting offer, not from the point of view of actually doing things the way they want, that is using it to then purchase their pickup service, but simply to allow them to sell you this subsidized gadget and then put it to our own purposes. You can see photographs at the bagster, T-H-E-B-A-G. go ahead. Also, a tentage, something to put the cordage in, the stakes in, suspension bars, extra components. You usually put those in smaller zip bags, canvas bags or whatever, but now you've got something to carry everything in, put it all in one package. It makes it kind of nice to throw that in the back of the trailer, throw that in the back of the pickup truck, or drop it somewhere else when the time comes. By the way, inside there's, you know, that's a good thing you brought that up too. When I usually do a tent kit, now it's not as cheap as it used to be in finding hammers at the dollar store. You typically don't. But when the first Chinese jump came in, we were grabbing the cheap hammers and I'm throwing them everywhere for a dollar a piece or a dollar twenty-nine a piece. The reason is even if they only worked for the one usage and you have a hammer head after that, you probably would handle a break. But if you have a hammer head, well that's what your carving knife is for and that's what Mr. Saw is for in your survival kit, you can go out there and make another one. Now you've got a hammer head made out of metal. You can still use the beak that's not out of stuff. But it's great for driving tent stakes, no matter how it works. Either it works for a while or it works for a short time. Throw a couple extra hammers, throw a few tools, utility tools in that kit. And a bag like that is perfect. You make a little tool kit up, take a black magic marker, if it is an OD green bag that you put the tools in, put tools right on the side. T-O-O-L-S. Tools. There is no doubt what it is. If you have got 10 steaks, put 10 steaks right on the side. Now, try to make it tactical, but the whole idea behind this is user-friendly. The other area where this bag would come in handy is for, again, utility implements. Shubbles, you know, shovels, diggers, post hole diggers, whatever you got. Short spades. Nice thing to throw everything in so the metal heads are all in something safe and secure. That bag's probably designed to be pretty durable, isn't it, BK? Yeah, it seems to be very heavy. The idea is that you're throwing construction debris in. Your old sinks and vanities and broken up masonry and wood and all this sort of stuff. And I think it's about three and a half, four feet wide by, you know, seven, eight feet long and several feet tall. So it's got to contain, you know, easily a ton of debris. and the straps are designed to let the crane lift it. So that's fairly heavy duty construction. And at the price they are offering, I have to consider it nothing more than a loss leader to entice you into committing to their service. It seems to me that you could make the same thing, sewing it up with a fair amount of effort from a tarp, and you would probably spend nearly as much on the materials. Except in this case it's almost, it's canvas grade, it's heavy canvas gauge. Well yeah, it's woven poly, so you know, it's the plastic stuff. So it'll handle the construction mural, try and get out, it'll handle the tools that you were trying to carry. And that's always been a problem because you've got, you know, again, what we call engineer kits. All those widgets and things that get tangled up amongst themselves when you throw them into a vehicle, they're cross blades, they're sticks, there's all kinds of sharp edges. And when you try to move around, almost always you get your leg or something stuck between point A and point B and you impact at point C. Typically, when you do fall in the back of that truck, like a deuce and a half or even a regular pickup truck, you seem to always find the shovel blade or the pickaxe that you forgot was still poking up there in some direction. So this is a pretty cool utility item that most people don't like you said if you went out and you were doing it and you had a mission project, you know, if it was mission specific, that'd be one thing. But in this case, hey, somebody else already did the work and it's already on hand and the price is right. So what's the cost of getting on these? These things are offered for $30. Actually, if you were going to make it into a man-cariable tool bag, I would say probably cut it in half and do a little bit of sewing, make two of them out of there. These things are big. They are intended for construction debris. I just believe you with man-carrying, you could also throw a person in there. If this thing were watertight, you could make a kid's swimming pool out of it. Yeah, exactly. This would be pretty useful. It would be a useful tool then. Again, the biggest thing is if you go price out the cost of these things or at least expenditures, materials, equipment, time, then that's not all that outrageous. It's not a rage at all anyway. I do baggage guys. Bigger it is, more expensive it is. That's all there is to it. You don't get all that much with $30 new anymore. No, not at all. So again, there's the solution. What else do we got? Jump in there. Go right in on the list. Okay, a couple three weeks ago I spoke of a scientific calculator that has complex numerical capabilities. That is the Casio FX115ES. That is Foxtrot X-ray 115 Echo Sierra. This is interesting because it does the complex math, that is the mathematics of imaginary numbers that involves the square root of minus 1. And this is very useful for people doing electrical calculations, specifically phasors especially. and that's a little bit specialized, but anybody that's very interested or likely to be involved in power calculations and that sort of thing will find that arithmetic popping up a lot. So I recommended this particular model calculator as being available at OfficeMax for $18 and therefore highly affordable. I'd like to mention that by surest chance, I happen to also see that model in the stores at Wally World for $13. At two-thirds the cost. So that is an even better deal. Now they do not admit to the existence of this thing on their website. Cannot order it online. There's no reason to believe from the website that they have them in the stores, but I saw them in the stores at $13. So... Anybody that might have the slightest interest in doing these sorts of calculations or dealing with AC power problems, steady state sinusoids, all that good stuff, wants to make the complex math a little bit easier. That calculator is available for $13, cheap at Wally World. Go ahead. Excellent. And again, guys, for any of your engineers, any of our people that are doing mass weight specifications, especially with transportation, you mentioned this earlier, eight pounds of feathers is a little bigger than you might imagine. Okay. As far as the amount of volume that it takes up, at least a management, manage it effectively and still not destroy the product. So one of the things that's kind of nice to have a calculator on hand, especially one that will go into scientific range. You never know what you're going to be doing construction. Hey, we're trying to calculate the volume and the load capability of that fallout shelter. We're trying to build with the cement blocks and the other building materials, the steel bars and stuff we've collected. Guess what? There's a calculator put in the kit. Quartermaster, this would be a good idea because you may also be purchasing in volume. and you're looking at farm measurements, farm specs or traditional specifications with regard to bushels. You may be looking at sheer volume and weight and other specifications depending upon or what you capture, what you find. It may not actually cross reference. You're going to have to do the math. You'd be surprised how many of You'd be surprised how many of these unit conversions are now built into the calculators. We were expected in school to memorize bushels and cubic feet and quartz and things of this sort, but a lot of that stuff is actually built into the calculators nowadays strangely enough. Well, there's more than space for the processors, that's the nice thing. I mean, it can come a far away from the original Hewlett Packard, well, it almost fit in your pocket calculator. Yeah, my old SR-10 was 5 functions, it cost $70 back when $70 was a lot of money. I would still have that except some bugger did a 5 finger discount on it. I think that was probably pretty routine as well. Okay, there is a vendor that I have spoken of in the past. There's no way that we'll have time to mention all of the things that caught my eye this time around when I revisited them. The last time we spoke of this vendor, we were calling attention to an item that they, in their bizarre sense of humor, were calling elephant shower caps. Now those were in fact plain white backpack covers with an elastic opening. Those are long gone. These guys as usual buy things and sell out and then have new things. But I never fail when I visit this site to find many things that are of interest either for general utility purposes or for our more specific purposes. and that site is sciplus.com, that is S-C-I-P-L-U-S dot com. The name of the organization is American Science and Surplus. Now many of the things they have, they offer as curios and oddities and things to play with. Sometimes they will have some stupid little talking statue or, you know, a bit of leftover electronics surplus from a manufacturer of appliances or whatnot. But they often have things that are also of straight up utility. Let me run out a few examples. They are offering five nylon drawstring pouches. These are 7x3x10.5, five of these pouches for $3.75. So that's the sort of thing that we routinely used when we were doing a lot of camping in Scouts, for instance, to put items of various small items of a given category in a pouch and stuff that in the backpack and other items in a different pouch and stuff that in the backpack and so on. So this is scipus.com, if anybody's interested. S-C-I-P-L-U-S.com. And this particular item is item number 40065. 40065. That's nylon pouches. They're offering five of these guys good medium-sized pouch with a drawstring on them for 375. Now the next half dozen items I have are different items also on the same site. So we'll just go through them at whatever rate. Questions or comments on this guy? Well, in general, remember, too, that everything that this company has, typically, they will only have for a set period of time. Whatever they have is probably the inventory, right? Correct. They are just like any other surplus purchaser. They are not military surplus, per se, though occasionally they do have some of the items that Mark has offered. They will once in a while have Eastern block pouches or the light day packs and things of this sort. Some of their items are at very attractive prices, some of them not so much, but you use your judgment and you look around. The first of these items that I've called out is a set of five nylon drawstring pouches for 375. That's not bad. Any one pack gets a couple of these pouches in it. It's a very useful utility item for organizing items. Go ahead. Again, one of the things to do is when you do visit the site, go and give the page out a couple more times here in a second. Remember, there's a lot of other stuff you may notice something we didn't. And if you do, bring it up on the air or call it in because there are also things that change constantly with that page or with that site because they buy other stuff. If you can check it out, you see something what's useful. pass it on and we'll clear off the shelves. We've done that before. That's what happened with those snow camouflage covers. Correct. We cleaned them out. Yeah. Right. And that was because they're a useful tool for so many different things. And they're already built to spec for your backpacks. And they don't just work on the Alice pack. They work on any backpack. Just a good foot note there. Well, they were built for the Alice pack. Yeah, they fit because they're elasticized. Guys, look at the cut. They fit on anything. So that's a really nice thing to be able to make the widgets and the divots and the square lines disappear and you become basically another lump in the woods or another lump in the you know the Semi-rough terrain, but exposed because that's the biggest problem Right on that particular item that would turn your woodland or molly or you know, whatever pattern into snow camo So that was a very useful item there that that one is long gone next item that Go ahead. Okay, next item I wanted to call out also from that same site. They have some safety mirrors. These are intended basically for camping purposes. These are not stainless steel or chrome plated like the traditional ones. These are plexiglass, but they are small handheld silver mirrors. The trick that we are taught in Scouts for signaling purposes is you drill a hole in the middle of the mirror. and then you can use the backside of the mirror to line up the sun using the dot through the hole as a sighting point. I'm not sure if I can describe the process adequately on air without any pictures or demonstrations, but with a single hole drilled through a little mirror like this, you have a very effective signaling device, which you can actually aim with high precision. by using that hole. Now these are plexiglass mirrors. They're 2 by 3 inches, so they're just the sort of size to slip into your pocket or pack, and they are offering three of these for $3.25. Go ahead. Well, that's not bad at all. And as a matter of fact, just use them for signaling mirrors or for emergency equipment. Plus, it's kind of handy to have a mirror for a number of different projects. You might even want to, if you can experiment with one and cut it down, as you've seen using those for observing around corners or being able to put an extension device on that so you can, like an old antenna off a busted up radio, you have the ability to be able to extend and then look or observe high or low around a corner. One of the most common tricks is to try to go low because people have a tendency to look at waist height or chest height when they're targeting. Whereas on the other hand, if you take the mirror, pop it around the corner, and observe from a low point, it's least likely to be observed and jump out and notice. Now the other thing that's really kind of nice about that is take that little chrome extender that you've made and first rough it up and then paint it up into another color, a couple other flat colors, whatever you want to use. Try not to use just black though. Break it up with, for instance, flat black and middle colored OD green. That way it's light, dark, dark, dark, light, dark, and a little harder to focus on. I kind of like browns. I think that browns blend into most environments a whole lot better than blacks do, especially if it's a straight line. We could tell the story of the South African resistance and the black sticks, but that probably best repeated another day. And again, the most important thing here guys, the mirrors are reversible. They're one of those tools. Why do you think they used them as barter items in the end with the tribes? Everybody goes, well, they traded the Manhattan for mirrors and baubles. And well, yeah, because those people didn't have mirrors. Mirrors were rather valuable. And there are a number of different applications for them. You can use them even for, you know, let's see, you're carrying a plastic. Nice thing about a plastic mirror, it's not going to break, even the metal ones. You can use it as a light reflector when you're camping. It helps to focus more of light, push more of light towards the direction where you want it. If I don't have a reflector like a mirror, I'll take a white piece of paper and do that. simply because light lost or light that normally would be reflecting off a darker surface like say the sidewall of a tent, if I need to be able to see something better, what you do is you fold the paper and let it angle, tape it or you know typically takes best choice. Put it behind the light, the illumination source, and it helps to push the light towards a particular area. You change the you know the direction of the lamp. and the angle of paper and you get more focus. Well, a mirror does the same thing. You know, for you, bring a light to a specific location is what you're doing. Focusing on a particular point through reflection. Mirrors will do the same thing. And so they're a very valuable tool in general. Something most people don't think about. So it's a good thing you brought that up, BK, because we needed to remind people of that. Even little pieces. Take one mirror, break it down, cut it down to six little mirrors. You can put a little mirror in everybody's emergency kit, put it in their front pocket of their assault vest. You know, it's part of a reaction kit or part of a utility kit. I do that with all kinds of things. Any time I find little widgets, I just found a whole bucket full of widgets today and I've been breaking them down and allocating them to certain projects all through the day as I've been able to figure out what to do with them. Okay, another item that they are offering. our zip seals. We would call these generically zip locks. But they have some very unusual sizes. I have mentioned in the past that specialty vendors of containers will offer you a wide variety of size and thickness of Ziploc bags. These guys obviously got a hold of some clearance or surplus items. And they are offering a variety of sizes of these things as small as one inch square. and up to a more conventional 3x4 inch square. If you search on the site for the word Zip Seal, Z-I-P-S-E-A-L, you may find that item. They are offering these by and large at 100 bags for $1.50. And if you think hard about it, you may be able to find a number of uses for these smaller items. Probably some mundane uses, I imagine, you know, coin collectors, things like that might use the tiny ones. But think about this, you can put, say, a spare part for a firearm in a little two inch square bag or one inch square bag and label the thing. so that you actually know what it is and what it goes to. If you look at the little pins and gas rings and springs and so on in a parts kit, There's no way in the world you're going to glance at that spring and say, oh, I know that that happens to be the such and such spring for such and such model. If you purchase these things, go ahead and put them in a little bag and label them right now while you know what they are, because I guarantee you, six months from now, you will not know what that spring is. You'll know it goes in something, but you may not know exactly what it is. about a little one inch square bag or two inch square bag or whatnot can be invaluable for that sort of purpose. Not only to label things, but also just to keep the environment off of them. Keep them separate, keep them from, you know, rusting. Retain the oil. You can slobber something up with oil and then drop it in a bag and it won't all rub off on everything else that you've got it stored with. At the same time, it will retain the oil so it continues to do its job of protecting the part. So, I could see a lot of uses for these guys and they are not expensive at $100 per dollar and a half. You could buy two or three different sizes of these things and run up the whopping bill of say, three or four and a half dollars. Go ahead. And again, from the very thing we were talking about when we do, for instance, your emergency vests, are you doing emergency packs? to have containers in the field like this is priceless because again you're going to keep the environment from them you're maybe carrying it for a period of time. I pack up a you've seen the black vest that I wear in many videos. That thing is literally packed front to back and when I say front to back even some of the Ziploc bags you're talking about there along with folded garbage bags and other utility items are actually in the backpack fixture of the vest. So that I have spares that actually have extras. I run into something while I'm in the field or something I could accumulate I've got a ways to separate and actually utilize what I've discovered or recovered or I've had to Improvise with The other nice thing is every pocket the individual category of items that I want to store are in the pockets Now this is also true in your Minuteman kit. Maybe you'll rip them open later guys, or maybe you'll lose them, or you'll dump everything out of them later. But for stealing everything up and leaving everything in a location to have a separate container system of this type, and especially for the price, you can't beat it. Plus, are these an industrial gauge bag, or these are heavier gauge? They don't specify, and they appear to me to be fairly light gauge. Okay, well again I've used both types of eggs. One of the places I've scavenged them from before is from Granger. They had a deal where they were disposing of their old inventory and I just happened to know somebody and I got millions of these little Granger utility bags they used for nuts, bolts and screws. They were changing to another model, DX all of them, tossed them on the city landfill. I was like, whoa, are these brand new? Oh yeah, I've got boxes of them. I said, we're going to toss them. No, no, no, you're not. I think I've gone through almost all those because I wear that vest, you'll notice. I've worn it for over a period of different ones. I've worn them virtually out. I've traded the equipment out to the next vest and then eventually the plastic bags from Flexing will wear down. So, roll and behold, you off load everything, put it in the next Ziploc bag, put it back in the vest where it belongs, everything is where you expect it to be, works just fine. So, solutions guys, real simple solutions, but it gets the job done. Anyway, DK, we still have a new door, we don't have any time left. We'll throw out one more item. They're offering glass eyedroppers. Glass eyedroppers. This is one of the best ways to put a drop of oil in a controlled location, for instance. They are offering a package of eight glass eyedroppers for $2. The only thing that's remarkable about that is that's an excellent price on those. Routinely, you will pay $0.50 to a dollar retail for an actual glass eyedropper. Now they're offering eight of them. for $2. One last time, this vendor that we've been talking about is scipus.com. S-C-I-P-L-U-S.com. And they have many, many things more than we have brought up. But they are always an interesting browse. Oh, you name it, biscuits and everything else. B for all, not just B. A to Z, we cover it and make sure it gets there. With Quartermaster, we win. We have to make sure we have a Quartermaster system in place before everything kicks off. Thank you, sir. You're welcome. God bless the Republic. Death to the New World Order. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. We and our eyedroppers are on the march both day and night.

Here's a hint for you geniuses out there. Okay, you ready? Don't 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. Without all points full of them. Them roadblocks everywhere! I'm gonna call the newspapers the TV station What kind of radio show is this? and now for something completely different. didn't start until later. But they're focused on us folks, that's what they're doing. Well, especially the folks just tuning in from LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com. We are talking about a basic approach to response by militia guys, general spontaneous rescuers to mass casualty incidents or terrorist attacks. Now my background, yes, I worked for FEMA. I was an emergency services officer. I had a badge and a gun. and I was able to go around and teach people how to respond in the community and I had a lot of fun with it. So I've modified their training to fit what we're doing. So if I use the word CERT, that means Community Emergency Response Team, but just put in there whatever your militia group is, whatever your church group is. and you can get away with it. We're talking right now about the acronym BE NICE biological, nuclear, incendiary, all that kind of stuff. And we're kind of in the middle of talking about nuclear attacks and how to respond to them. And if you were listening, Lou played that little 1955 government propaganda, you know, school kids. Okay, kids, we're going to the basement, we're getting nuked by rescues, and everything's gonna be A-okay as long as you cover your eyes, take your thumbs near your ears, and curl up in a tiny ball. The reason they wanted you to curl up in that tiny ball under your desk is so they could identify you later by dental records. The chances of, you know, the response to a nuclear attack, run away! You know, the old rabbit scenario from the Holy Grail. He can leap about stones! Come on, boys, chop his head off! Right, silly little leader, one rabbit soup coming right up! What does that have to do with what I'm talking about? The rabbit Different rabbit I was talking about the Trojan rabbit when they launched the Trojan rabbit and they all go run away when they're attacking the French canigates Not not not the vicious bunny rabbit that bites off people's heads at the at the at the cave of Kyle Arg or whatever it is Okay, well, that's good though. Nice try. You got at least the right movie. Good job blue But yeah response to nuclear attack Get out of Dodge don't be the key to surviving a nuclear attack is don't be where it's gonna get nuked You know where we are right here. I unless somebody's got a grudge against hippies. I don't see a nuke hitting, Kalia, California San Francisco. Yeah LA Fresno, maybe you know there's some refineries or maybe some key strategic issues there You know there's a there's an air base. There's a naval air base in Lamor about 60 miles away in my get new The key power to response to a nuclear attack is don't be in one. Don't be where they're going to dump them. But that doesn't mean that you might not be on a vacation in Disneyland or something. So you've got to know decontactics. But the fact of it is, with modern nuclear weapons, who knows what's going to happen to you. You're more likely to see what's known as a dirty bomb. A dirty bomb. And we talked about that a little bit. And now we're going to get into incendiary devices. Those are the things that make stuff catch on fire. and this is the I and the B nice. Incendiary devices are mechanical, electrical or chemical devices used initially to initiate combustion and start a fire. Incendiary devices consist of three basic components. So this isn't a catch all but basically. An igniter or fuse, a container or body, an incendiary material or filler. and without going into how you actually build these things, which I don't want to do. If you separate these things, unless they're very sophisticated, you can interrupt the procedure and stop it. But that's not your job. Your job as a basic rescuer, as a militia guy, is not to go in there and play MacGyver and cut the red wire. Unless you're trained in destructive device disassemble, don't touch it. You're going to exacerbate. Your goal is to stay alive and get as many other people to stay alive and get away from the item. Don't touch it. Don't pick it up. Don't throw your body on it. Don't put it in a bucket. I've had people go, well, I was told if you take it and put it in a bucket of water, it'll diffuse everything. I don't know. I'm not a bomb disposal guy, but neither are you. And we'll talk about it a little bit later, but also with these things, you don't jump on yourself on the start dial and bubba and go, hey, bubba, you never believe what I found. They may be triggered by radio waves. A lot of people that are going after professional rescuers, that's what they want to do. They want to get it so as to get it.
