Mark Koernke and co-host Don discussed survival and safety topics drawn from a Popular Mechanics article on 20 fatal mistakes to avoid at home and in the wild. Topics covered included water safety and river crossing techniques, tree stand safety for hunters, hiking hazards such as dehydration and heat exposure, lightning strike statistics, hypothermia risks in moderate temperatures (30-50°F), and the dangers of overhydration during endurance exercise. The hosts also addressed radio communication equipment, including crank-powered generators from WWII and Vietnam eras, variable power output transceivers, Morse code signaling for survival situations, and tactical protective gear such as knee pads and elbow pads becoming available in bulk quantities. The episode emphasized preparedness, common sense decision-making, and practical survival skills.
better understand it. If you're not experienced with it, you'd better learn. And again, the bridges are not always going to be there or the bad guys are going to destroy them. Well, we've got the time. Point B, how do you do it? Well, you can rope across that stream, that river, and that carabiner that you talk about, hey, hook it onto the rope and it comes down to your belt. Now you're walking across the river And even if you do lose your footing, you're still in the same place. You climb back up that rope, hand over hand, until you can put your feet back on the bottom of the stream. Now that takes a little bit more time, and it's a little bit harder to do if you're fleeing or if you're rushing to the battle. But if you do not, if you're not able to flee your opponent, if the river gets you, or if you do not make it to the battle because the river got you, it's just a matter of taking some time isn't it? And being to where you want to be, on the side of caution, and live through the experience, to have that experience be the last thing you ever hear that word again, experience. Not to be redundant with the use of the word, but hey, you know that's what we're talking about here, life experiences. And sometimes those experiences can't be life. Now we gotta be going through this stuff here, unless we're just gonna run right through what I... Should be there any moment? I think I might have some quietness in the background for the moment, but I know it's coming here. Another for fording, you might know a diver. A whole bunch of divers have the ocea as they go deeper. Now as they come back up, they have to let a little air out to compensate for that different pressure. But it might be something good to have in the pack. And we talk about yard sales. You know, I got my wetsuit that's hanging around. Look right at it. Right there, here's my wetsuit. I gave $15 for that wetsuit. It's a shark skin wetsuit. When it was brand new, the group bought it. But I gave $15 for it at a garage or anybody else's wetsuit, for obvious reasons. If you wash them out real good, well, it's not too bad. And for $15, I'm happy to wear that wetsuit. But again, if you're at a garage sale and you look at one of those inflatable, Vibro Boyancy vests, Some of them are primitive as Mae West. Here's inflatable vest. Pick it up. Give five bucks for it. What's your life worth? Get out of your pack and you put a few breaths into it before you start to cross that stream. That might just be the buoyancy you need to keep you from the aforementioned predicament. You know, bong on the bottom of the Creek or River. And you know air is right up there, just two or three feet up. That's a real drag to know it's just two or three feet up. But if I breathe now, I'm dead. That's where we're... And again, this couldn't have been a better time, the popular mechanic, 20 fatal mistakes. I would say either, maybe the engineer would tell us, our board manager, if we're going to go with them. I'll say what we're going to do, we're going to go right into the intro for ourselves here because... Well good morning ladies and gentlemen, this is the second, no, forgive me, third of this long week already, it's Tuesday. This is the third hour of the morning. Intelligence report time, our current key. And I'm Don Dutcher. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines of occupied territories, northeast, southeast, and for listening to us on Micro Effect Network in the morning. We're also on AM&FM Micro Station, CB, based in Ultra Net Technologies, east and west of the Mississippi, along with Alaska. We're in the hallmark network on Eastern Seaboard from the top of Maine to the bottom of Florida. From the bottom of Florida across the arc of the Gulf of Mexico. Headed to Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma. Chunk of Nebraska, a whole bunch of Wyoming to include both Fifth Third and Fifth and our friends in the Civil War state of Colorado with excitement going on there today. Waiting to the left coast where a fine feminism vomited, wretched, filth across the landscape, returned back to the east sweep across the plains, leap over the burgeoning banks of the Mississippi inland in the smoky slash the blue. Where the restaurant crews, grandma teams, OK teams, and the mob, bail, grandma consortium, of retired telecommunications workers, bring us the gold spike. Many hands make the legwork a million Pico junctions. the ability to continue to function when everything else is offline. Don, what is the day today and what is it like up in your negative woods? Well, it's a beautiful day on this 10th day of September, year of our Lord 2013, and it's gonna be warm, it's gonna be a little bit breezy, it's, in that instance, we hope it stays down, because there's a lot to be done between now and the five o'clock. Ah, again, a beautiful day, the 10th day of September. Hey, we're running right back to this. Some of these things say that, you know, some of these, the subjects we're touching on, like, cutting the line but there are other things in here like I've been a diver, I've been a certified diver since I was 14 but did not, for a fisherman, we're going to go back to that because you know sometimes when you're fishing and moving downstream a lot of fishermen will move where this exists, see the end of you also so it's not necessarily boaters it could be the trout fisherman, the guy who's just wading the stream or working along the edge of the river I thought I'd bring that to everybody's attention too because now again it's or just enjoying something as And that's a texture you guys. Number 10 is, believe it or not, Dodge Line Drive. Number 10 is Dodge Line Drive. The pastime scene may seem a gentle pursuit. In 2008, a comprehensive study of game-related fatalities from 1862 to 2007 catalogued deaths that have occurred while people were playing, watching, or officiating at baseball games. Among the causes is the Amatado Cordes, a concussion of the heart that leads to ventricle fibrillation when the chest is struck during a critical 10 to 30 millisecond, 50% of all victims are athletes, and the majority of your fees are male, gauging in sport by hockey and La Croix Courtists registered. Well, we're going to go to Frank here. You guys will be right back. Walk him through the mid-flintlock in his hands. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat, peeking low to me. Liberty, the shield from tyranny. For future generations, this is like secured for you, we'd hoped you'd always keep. 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, the brave. You buy permits to try to own a gun, 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 hesitate in your Christian values. regulated press. Pay a tax you do not owe to please the eye. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. Trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. Pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame to government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seemingly farm and keep our country. 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, this is their children. They send artillery and guns to foreign shores. And send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. And 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? Guns of the republic, supreme law of the land. Preserve our great republic and each gun given right. I won't keep vanished in this this words were true But we have ourselves for an example each got given right we only watching tremble too afraid to stand and fight 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 called out from the grave? Quirky and I'm done better one day closer to victory southeast and south and You're looking to us on the micro effect a myriad of other signal communications pro-summer's dimension for the moment because we already did it earlier. So, Don, what is the day-to-day benchmark again? The full day it looks at the top, eh? Summertime, because again, it's going to be over in just a little while. Spring accidents happen, and I would remind everybody that, well, these are the most common. I don't plan on being at a bank if I can help it, and lacrosse is not on my list of things to do. Hockey? Oh, I love hockey sticks. It's one of the few games like lacrosse where they actually give you weapons. can beat on other people and it's okay. So, I sponsor a junior hockey team this year. I've gotten so much hockey equipment for free. Sponsor maybe a militia hockey team this season. Not that I have an interest in hockey, but because it'd be fun to mess with people. So anyway, beyond that, all the other issues, a lot of who we're covering here is relevant, but even if you are going to any sports events, remember, situation where people may contact intentionally or accidentally and where projectiles and other objects that may be within your proximity. So go ahead, Don. Oh, along that line, remember about six, maybe five, maybe seven years ago. Sometime in that, I know I'm reaching across a thousand days there in that. But there was a girl in a hockey, a young girl, maybe 12 years old at a hockey game. Puck left the arena and went up into the crowd to get her in a head kelder. Remember that? I do remember that. I can't tell you exactly when it happened or where. You know, you would not wish to experience. But now we're long that dodge line drive, you guys. This goes over to martial arts and stuff too. There are. If that comes, if that strikes 10 to 30 millisecond moments between heartbeats, that can cause the people what I'm doing and just jerky and all for the statistical on this. The register recorded 224 fatal cases from 1996 to 2010. Kamamari is the number one killer in United States youth baseball, causing two to three deaths a year. take a shot to the chest. Even evasive action and protective cure are not significant deterrents. Of note, survival rates rose 35% between 2000 and 2010, 15% in the previous decade, due mainly to the increase of defibrillators at sporting events. The wonders of modern technology, and that was, well, the wonders of modern technology. Now, climb with care. Just a second, please. Yeah, climb with care. accidental shootings and I have a topic with this and we'll get back to it in just a moment but accidental shootings are an obvious hazard of hunting but guess what's just as bad? Trees! tethered to the tree when climbing instead of relying on wooden board nails of the tree which can give way suddenly to the text here, and I quote, a tree stand hung 20 feet near or should be treated like a loaded gun because it is every bit as dangerous. And I remind you she's the executive director of the National 400 Education Foundation. I wonder if she's one of those people that shoot a deer with a, why she belongs, it's kind of sporting and it gives that deer a chance. Take it with a, you want to give your dinner a chance to escape. if you give your dinner a chance to escape, and this goes back over to making fatal mistakes, eh, I'll throw one in here just for free, you know. If you make that mistake long enough, eventually you starve to death. Eventually you starve to death. Let's reinforce that, because I've taken the small number of deer with a rifle, and I have never been fortunate enough. I know there are people who just do it left and right, and just say, well, what's wrong with you, Don? But I've never taken a deer with a bow and arrow. And maybe there's somebody out there saying, well, Don, there's something wrong with that. But I've never taken a deer with a bow and arrow. So with that in mind, I'd go over to the other part that addresses a tree stand 20 feet in the air should be treated like a loaded gun, because it is every bit of danger. So a loaded gun isn't very dangerous unless, oh my gosh, but if it's pointed at someone just sitting there on the table, it's not just going to go off by itself, is it? Dude, we could just pick that up over the rest of the hour, but I'm not going to do that. I just thought I'd have a little fun with it for a moment. safety harness tethering one climbing instead of relying on wooden boards nailed to the tree which can give way suddenly I mean a ladder into the tree socket tree it's held because again I don't want to die falling out of a tree that was done to make you laugh it's all today it's said be serious now number 15 here says avoid clipping out you wonder what that means but you know what hikers out for a speed end up on it comfortably steep patch and finding it easier to climb up and down, keep ascending until they, quote, cliff out. Unable to go either forward or backward, spending a night freezing on a rock face waiting to be rescued is no fun, but the alternative is worse. Falls are one of the top three causes of death in the wilderness, along with cardiac arrest and drowning. Cliff out hikers account for 11% of all search and rescue calls in Yosemite National Park. Can't see the length of it. If you realize you've lost your way, either backtrack or provide satellite communication to send a distress call from anywhere on the planet. What's the solution there according to the author? Now, the author, I don't go back a page. According to the author, technology is the solution. But not everybody's got that GPS in their pocket or whatever. But this goes over to greatly to common sense. Why would I go to the top? I repeat, just to be biblically. Good things will get you killed or at least force you to... Number 17, and we've heard this one before and maybe you've heard this one in after summer or whatever, but... Use generators safely. Many homeowners use portable generators to replace lost power, leaving the machines running overnight, wave out busyness, headaches, and nausea in people who are awake. People go to sleep with a generator running. There's no chance for them to realize that something's wrong, says AC Foundation's Inter-carbon Monoxide from nearly 200 people a year. of the sandy related deaths 12 were due to carbon monoxide poisoning. I repeat, of the sandy related deaths 12 were due to carbon monoxide poisoning 20 feet from a house. Another thing to do you guys, is plumb that exhaust straight up 10 or 15 feet. 10 or 15 feet straight up in the air. It's gonna help a lot as far as getting that exhaust away. The next one, flip slide away. And this goes back over to the number 16 about paying attention to your pathways and clipping out. And they're kind of connected. I'm surprised these weren't both back to back on the page here, Mark. But number 18 says don't slip, slide away. Hikers on a glacier or in areas where patches of snow remain above the treeline may be tempted to speed downhill by sliding or glistening. Bad idea. A gentle glide can easily lead to an unstoppable tunnel. In 2005, Patrick Wang, 27, died in California's Mount Whitney while glistening off the summit. He slid 300 feet before falling off a thousand foot. He slid 300 feet before falling off a thousand foot cliff. Plenty of time to think about it. Yeah, exactly. Maybe I shouldn't have done that. That's a true word. Maybe I shouldn't have done that. Or whatever goes through that poor fellow's mind. Oh no, no. We're three more breast of Odin. Says one or two people die each year. We'll be an expert mountaineer with wealth. Please remove their crampons and know their line of descent. Now this comes over to, we've talked about this many many times before, leaving the area you're working in, land that you want to do in a war, isn't it? You want to dominate your area, don't you? And if you don't, sometimes it's hard to live through to dominate another day. Now number 20 here, didn't we say that there'd be a, oh, number 16, because it's the whole page unto itself, forgive me. And we've addressed this, but this goes in the completely opposite direction of how we have addressed this over time. And most people don't think along this line. So it's good that the number 16 is here. And number 16 says actually, don't do much. And they're not talking about alcohol. They say, we all know that dehydration can be dangerous, leading to dizziness, seizures, and even death. But drinking too much water can be just as bad. In 2002, 28-year-old runner Cynthia Lucerno midway through the Boston Marathon to a hospital she fell into a coma in time. In the aftermath it emerged that she had drunk large amounts of water during the run. The excess liquid in her system induced a syndrome called exercise associated hyperhemia EAH in which the imbalance in the body's sodium levels creates a dangerous swelling of the brain. Say the Up to one third of endurance athletes who collapsed during events suffer from EAH. Between 1989 and 1996, when the United States Army mandated heavy fluid intake during exercise in the high heat, EAH caused at least six deaths. Cranked more than one and a half quarts of water per hour during sustained, intense exercise. Consumed plenty of salt along with your fluids. Now I'm gonna read that one again. consume more than one and a half quarts per hour during sustained intense exercise and plenty of salt. Let's stop there for just a second Don because remember guys we've watched this back and forth tablets don't do salt tablets do salt salt is bad salt is evil don't do salt now we're back into the cycle where oh by the way you know take lots of salt in other words minerals basically guys is what we're looking at here the salts being the dominant one because you're expanding, you're pushing out of the system that material that you need and you use salt as part of that electrical process along with a whole bunch of other things. But it's interesting to note that this is a flip flop in the other direction in the pro salt direction now. Go ahead. Plenty of water was the only thought, drink plenty of water. But now there are physical limits on how much water your body can move and be comfortable with and literally sustain itself with over a given time frame. Number 20 here says, Beat the Heat. And it runs right along with number 16 and they could have been arranged better. But number 16 is a full page and number 20 is just a little 2.5 by 2.5 inch. And this is titled, Beat the Heat. And did you know a rock formation in Utah called the Wave is remote and accurate and a couple hiking the area were found dead. The afternoon heat overwhelmed them. Three weeks later, a 27-year-old woman collapsed while hiking the wave with her husband before he could get help. An average of 675 people died here in the United States from heat-related complications. And the answer? Do carry lots of flu. Hike in the morning and let people know where you are going when trekking in the desert. Now this is common, you guys. It's the same thing, you know, if you're a diver in the area, you build it just like you build a flight plan. You know, day planning, that phrase before, what you got going today? Well, we're going to go out here and hike. It's good to let somebody know. People who do boating, it's been encouraged. We're going to be on the water and we will be home by oh, three o'clock, four, we'll be home before the sun is down. We're going to spend the night on that island. See how that works so people don't worry? But again, if at all possible, good to let other people know what you are doing. I mean, you know, privacy is a good thing. I enjoy my privacy as much as anybody else. What you're going to be doing through the day can be a good thing. And it can be the thing that, well, if you don't, people send help. If you can't, by the aforementioned number 16 or number 50, if you don't have that high tech settlement and people know where you are immediately, well, it's You were supposed to be back by a given amount of time and a few hours after that, generally people who love you, generally they'll send a search party. We need to find Frank or Ralph or Jim or there's a single column here that I don't even want to try to elaborate on over the radio. But did you know that others, 32% of the 238 people killed by lightning strikes from 2006 to 2012 were male. Fishing, camping, three top activities on the lightning death list. Fishing, camping and boating. In that order, not standing on the golf course waving your golf club around, everybody thinks that, oh, this is the golf course lightning syndrome. Again, and these are studies, dog, fishing, fishing, and boating in that order are the top three activities in the lightning death list. Men are more than 11 times more likely than women to die on the job because men tend to have more dangerous occupations. Consider, in 2011, falls accounted for 541 working deaths. 541 working deaths. Most of those occurred in construction of predominantly male industries. Now here we go back to the subject of drinking and this is only DUI driving under the influence. More than 25% of all male drivers involved in fatal car accidents have a blood alcohol content over the legal limit of .08% compared with 13.7% of women drivers. So that's almost twice as many men drive and die because they were driving under the influence of alcohol. Now we go over here, and this is just a tragic thought-life here Mark, but roadkill! You know, did you know you guys, we talk about shark attack and bears and other things, but 50 to 200 lives annually in the United States, which makes the lovable animal also the nation's most dangerous. Accidental overdose of priests, including synthetic opioids such as oxycodone, kill more than 2,000 more men than women every year. And now we're getting into the things that we really can't do a whole lot about unless you want to quit smoking and subjecting yourself to certain things in the work environment. Remember years ago when all those guys that were working at the GM and wouldn't, when a whole bunch of them started dying from cancers and it was rumored that it was because of what they work with? Remember that? But here, cancer, on the subject of cancer, cancer kills more men than women. 301,037 and 273,706 respectively in 2010. Actually because men are more prone to malignancies of the lungs, esophagus, and liver. So there you go you guys. We can talk about, I can try to pick this pie chart apart, but I'm not even gonna do that because it doesn't make sense to me. The person who wrote this pie chart brings things out of the diameter of it and has other little circles on the edges of it and I just can't seem to make a whole lot of sense of it. I'm not going to even attempt to. But again, you know, we can finish with that. Trying to make sense of the situation you're in so that you survive it is a good thing, isn't it, Mark? Studying can mean the difference between a stressful endeavor, gee, we got done what we wanted to do to hire the undertaker. Enough parts left to find. Nibble, nibble, nibble like a mouse, only in this case, a sh-big as a house. Oh, no! Well, more important is again the different environmental issues we've addressed many, many times on the air. Hypothermia being one of them, guys were seasoned, time of the year falls, and the reason is, hey, it's nice. Your sun's set, even just a little before, just how bad. They're not properly dressed, they're not properly outfitted in general, and the weather takes them, the temperature takes them. That in mind, I would go back to that number 11. Stay warm and dry. Septus Menas. fatal hypothermia occur when it isn't excessively cold from 30 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit underline and repeat that print big bold letters in your mind feet to 50 degrees Fahrenheit compound the effect of the temperature hypothermia kills almost a thousand people a year in the United States which they're trapping cotton for heat by stuffing your clothes dry leaves. Mark you've said that so many times and here it is right in print it's not like we make this stuff up from 30 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Now, it's just below freezing. People say that, oh, I'm gonna, if I gotta go out there, I'm gonna be dressed for it. But that 30 to 50 degrees, when you're out in the daytime and you're subject or you're, such a way that you escape that 30 to 50 degrees and not are not prepared for it, that'll get you. Supposing people a year die from this in America. Mark, I yield, or I only did that to reinforce what you've said for many, many years. And let's not forget we should be bottom of the hour break. I think I hear the music coming. Oh, I thought I heard the music. Maybe I was imagining something. I'm curious. I'm hearing a light sound of the background. That's why, again, we're just past the bottom of the hour. You may or may not be going to break 888-747-168-719-68. That's 888-747-1968. We are at the bottom of the hour, and a little past. How can we get hold of you if we're interested in night vision technology? What do you have and how can we get hold of you? Well that can increase your chances of survival at night. That tree anyway. Yeah, exactly. Or that guy that's cutting down the tree in the dark. If you want to talk to me about night vision, hey, be it green screen or thermal, you can reach me at 231-796-58. Goggles or gun sights, you guys. Green screens or thermal, give me a call. I'm more than happy to beat up the guy with the 800 number. There's 231. And that means again, of the stranger when you can deal on his available and about another twenty five minutes or so you build calling direct find out more about what you may need the toolbox to map on the thing here real quick again the micro effect dot com the micro effect dot com the micro effect dot com w w w dot the micro effect dot com if you would please jose up last night i am open that he gave you at least a better things are i'm sure he did with regard to the micro effect but guys on with the micro effect to do that. You have to pitch in and help because this is a listener to happen because of all of you out there. So take the time, give them a call at 888-47-1968. You can also send a donation to Joe McNeil. Send a card, a green greeting card, a get well card, take your pick. Joe McNeil PO Box 164, Kami'ai, Idaho, 350 Box 164. Kamiye, Idaho, get it plugged in, guys, so whatever you're going to send. Card, say one thing we haven't done using that address, and I would highly recommend it to this. And it's fun because we've got people from all over the planet listening. I know we've got friends in Australia right now listening this morning, Germany, Russia, you name it, wherever. Take the time, grab a postcard from your country, from your part of the state, wherever you are across the country here in the US. And a postcard with Schmidlapville or Fredtown or it could be Walla Walla Washington, take your pick, but wherever you are, take the time, grab a postcard. And what's cool is they can post the station right there where the operator is, the kind of funny O'Gory wall there, with all of the contact points for all of those people around the planet. Not just around the United States, because again, from Australia, New Zealand, are people listening in bangladesh right now because i know we have a lot of people listening bangladesh in fact rather fascinating how many people we actually have listening in bangladesh so again for all of our friends out there listening take the time plugging in accordingly uh... buys you can send that card that postcard with the pretty picture on the front p o box one six four cameo i'd i'd owe eight three five three six donation the envelope make out your money order or checks to joe mcmeal PO box for cameo Idaho 83536 support the micro effect you can give us a call to 888-747-888-4747 and again it is Tuesday communications Tuesday the next hour now here third hour of hanging down but One of the things I mentioned earlier last week, there's a couple of companies that still have crank. If you run into these out there, guys, remember those are variable output. They will do everything from three volts all the way up to 300 volts. Now, are we talking in terms of power output for some of the equipment? Well, the reason I do that is because 300 volt transceivers, heavy transceivers are out there. What kind of output? Purely a matter of who you put behind that crank. and pedals until they get the power they need. And I think that is one of the things that everybody goes, man, I'm glad I'm not that guy in the movie. You see over there in the corner going, well, the nice thing is there's a counterfly wheel, the things are geared quite effectively, guys. And engineered and user-friendly with regard to operation being straightforward. Connect, wire, turn, crank, congratulations, you're in business. So if you do run into these units, and uh... you may take the time inspect them go over them a lot of what we're running into out there are still literally the unissued uh... you uh... generator crank generators from world war two through even to vietnam there are actually built that recently so we're looking at the if you're looking at the newer uh... generators from vietnam uh... they were palletized weatherized for extreme environment not going to have any problem at all unless you're in an extreme wet weather environment, they're probably not going to have a whole lot of difficulty with anything that you're going to be operating the equipment in. So that's something that needs to be taken into consideration as a useful tool. Vietnam was muggy. Let's just say a beast for any techno that was in the field. If they got out there, they very quickly had learned to weatherize it anymore. So we want everybody to keep in mind that equipment if you run into them Vietnam era crank power generators try to see if you can invest in them used to run into them for 65 to 85 dollars apiece guys yeah I know those days are long gone now really interesting tidbits out there still are if you search a little bit you'll find what you need and won't be that complicated now another thing about transceivers when hooking up to these power supplies confirm our output Now the transceiver will run with less power and less energy available and in some cases that's one of the tricks to using the signature or target signature of tactical operations. If you don't have a light tactical transceiver, what you do is you pull back the power and you reconfigure the signal in a number of other ways to make things happen. we've noticed is a lot of people just typically like to hit the power switch and go for maximum output. I want to blow the socks off whoever's receiving. Well, you may blow the socks off of the people that were friendlies, but you'll also be transmitting clearly to an enemy that you may not want to have talked to at all. Keep in mind that the program, the plan should be to keep energy to a minimum. That's one of the other reasons for those variable power outputs. that were available even with the generator units. With many of the other pieces of equipment though that are used, there are energy output options to the antenna. Go research and read your manuals. It's especially that we get that right considering what we got coming up here. And again, energy is calories, is material, is resources burned. So when we're looking at, remember one nice thing about that is we're looking at greater durability in terms of transmitter time. The other thing is balancing output with regard to energy available, especially if you have tired batteries. Something to consider, you've done this before. You've worn down a piece of equipment and because it has a standard or a set output, when you turn it on, you'll see a power... It'll give a flash signal, then it'll announce that, oh, congratulations, what it told you before, power is down and goodbye. Click. Well, if you had a more sophisticated transceiver, which is what you'll find with larger military radios or larger commercial radios, that wouldn't be the case. You could actually adjust the output accordingly. The unit will power up to a degree that matches the available power's signature and will put out only what's necessary based upon the order given. plus plus because we should get some signal out remember that the guys at the other end with bigger equipment can also work to the signal in. As long as you can get a signal out especially in a crisis or a casualty situation, as long as you can get that signal out somebody's going to be receiving in one form or another and they'll be able to amplify it accordingly. They'll pull it in from their side that's with the operator at the other end of the business. In that same vein remember that If you are worried about signal power going out, remember beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep be Even if you don't know Morse code, guys, remember that that signal, that noise is going to be heard. And if it's consistent and repeated, and then a cycle is broken, another pattern is consistent and repeated. And then you go back to the original pattern, consistent and repeated. This is a way to attract attention if you're looking for assistance in a survival situation. The idea is that key gets through when everything else, and in fact it'll come up as white noise in some cases or wash noise, it'll come up as a blank, depending upon how it is that the signal is being, you know, is bouncing or is being received by whatever's listening or whoever's listening at the other end. So just something to take into consideration there. It's an old trick, it's something that works, but of course it depends on the operator too. There may be a number of reasons he's doing that, incapacitation or again failure technology and have an improvised depth and overcome. It would be a good idea to tape the of the Morse code alphabet, guys. There's a reason, you know, you're going to use it someday. Even if you're slow, at least you're getting something out. That's a big plus. Anyway, Don, I think we got you there again. Yeah, well, before we move away from this, I would remind people of the, I don't remember the name of the movie, but the Australian submarines. Traversing the globe, looking for people and heading there into California chasing a key signal to a curtain in a window. Bottom line, along that bottom line you guys. That was on the beach. On the beach. Thank you Mark. Even someone who is not familiar with Morris Cote is generally going to come up with a repetitive pattern. Moving that shade tied to that keyboard on occasion come up with a re- Generally it is going to be, oh what random is the word I was looking for? Even a person, a child, playing with that key is going to come up with something repetitive over time. So there's something to pay attention to. I really want to go and find out what's at the end of that. Or is that really a person? Just a thought line. And before, well, we're about eight minutes from the top. Before we get there, I'd like to say, uh, Hey, and I didn't tell you it was 20 fatal mistakes, how to avoid them at home and in the wild. That's on the cover. The actual true article written by one Jeff Wise, how not to die today. And again, credit where credit's run all of that, most of our worth of topic and not credit with any problem we've been kind of mad at. Obviously some research went into this thought line and topic. And again, how not to die, at least not today, by Jugger VR. And I didn't want them that, of not giving credit where, we tell you over and over, keep looking. We tell you, you know, you've heard that so many times. We tell you, stay hydrated, don't we? A number of the subjects that were in that don't make these mistakes because they'll kill you. to get validation, but you know what? You don't really need validation when you know what you're doing. So with that in mind, some things in there that were brought up, we may never be subject to, and only a small number of them, and that number's into the ground like a hammer, even if you would land in the battlefield with it. You do this, that, or the other thing, because even if you got there a lot of sky, and I landed straight, and I didn't plummet the ground there because it's just toward the very end, a whole bunch of other mistakes suffer that ever again or anything else. One of the things that's coming out of this latest round of excursions into the dust bowl is safety equipment in the field. Knee pads and elbow pads guys are out there in force from the donut of destruction. Every color and flavor you can imagine. And they've gone from the external add-ons to uniforms, et cetera, et cetera. So there's a lot of stuff that's showing up out there. You could buy pretty much whatever, like I said, color range camouflage pattern you want, digital, peyote brown, blue camo. But what's happened is when it comes to the auction, it's coming through in chunks. Five, you know, 100 sets of in one lot, and 1,000 sets in another lot. People are not necessarily, you're not necessarily interested in 1,000, but somebody's buying them and they're not getting, you know, like one group will get the knee pads, the other group will get the elbow pads. You're gonna have to shop around, but if you're committed to a particular pattern or style, it's not a problem coming up with a consistent, you know, piece of equipment for your, you know, people that are in your militia unit or in your, you know, security unit. It is a good idea as you get older or even younger and you want to protect body parts. These are pieces of equipment that the government didn't spend money on before. Granted, it's kind of like the OSHA. OSHA goes to the battlefield. Remember that back in the 70s, the storm trooper armor that you saw in Star Wars was the direction government was heading with body armor. This is kind of the closer direction we're headed. What is fascinating to me is, rather than building most of these knee pads and elbow pads out of the higher end football plastics, they could just as easily have been made in Kevlar. And in fact, suspected that some of them are. Now if that's the case, that's where we're starting to head towards critical ballistic protection. There's areas of the body that obviously should need it. whether or not they're going to offer 100%, nothing will. There's no such thing as bulletproof. That's not the case. There's body armor. And anything you can do to protect critical joints just like your head, guys, does not have to be a steel helmet. An old biker helmet, you know, a biking helmet, or a hockey helmet, is what the seals were using, and they are, forgive me, the special warfare units, okay? Delta forces they call them. They were using hockey helmets. Why? Well, you're designed to go onto the ice and beat the snot out of each other with a weapon in your hand. So they've got to keep your noggin pretty much intact. The idea wasn't that it was going to stop a bullet. The idea is it stops your brain from being caved in and dysfunctioning the rest of the system. You know, you shut that part of the system down and the rest of the body follows, right? Oh yeah. So any kind of protection in that category helps. You want to make it tactical? Go to the store and buy the paint of your choice and I'll remind everybody for plastics guys they have every lawn furniture plastic color out there you can imagine but most of them are tactical colors tactical colors you could possibly want and subdued and they make dust-up colors that even have nibble patterns on them guys you know they have a irregular print that creates even more shading. Mark, there are no primers for plastics, but you guys, one of the more direct have it available, not puddles, not puddles, just that slightest film of paint thinner across the plastic. And before that paint thinner actually dries, apply the color of your choice, and odds are it's gonna stick to that plastic very when it's like off. Another thing that you touched on before we go, you guys, there's a certain connotation to a certain look at the guy with the knee pads on, You know what, a shattered kneecap? You don't want to be super sniper anymore if you crack those kneecaps. Exactly. We're at the top, we've got, let's see, Jeff Bennett coming up next right behind us. God bless the republic. Death to the new world order. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The empire is on the run. But we are on the march, both day and night. Obama's gonna be flapping his yap. All I want to do is have them push him off to the side and listen, he's a 21 year old that wrote the speech. I'd rather listen to the person who actually did it than the fool who's pretending. Anyway, well actually, he's probably Israeli, but you'll have to suffer with that. It's gangsting with air. Don, you remember for Night Vision and closes, please. That number is 231-796-8458. Thank you, Mark. God bless you. God bless you, America.
