Live 365. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent, although you have no voice in saying how the money is spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan's number. 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 will be born. 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? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right, and pray to God to keep the torture freedom burning bright. As I awoke he'd vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trampled each god given right, we only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave, dill the land of the free? afternoon ladies and gentlemen this is the second hour of the afternoon intelligence report. I'm our krunky. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories south, southeast, west, and north. Well, ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com, Ronnie. And the NFI Microstations, CBB-based stations, and alternate technologies east and west of the Mississippi along with Alaska. We're in the Hallmark Network and Eastern Seaboard from the top of Maine to the bottom of Florida. From the bottom of Florida, because the arc of the Gulf of Mexico headed to Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Oklahoma, Big John, Nebraska, a whole bunch of Wyoming to include both 3rd and 5th in our friends in the Civil War state, only at Trigger Pull Away, Colorado. Waving the left coast where Feinsteinism and the Brown streak in the diaper are doing their part to continue to expand the beachhead for communist China, the Soviet, California, Soviet socialist democracy. Turning back to the east, we sweep across the plains, leap over the burgeoning banks of the Mississippi, and land in the smoky slash the Blue Ridge where the restaurant crews, grandma teams, okay teams. And the Ma Bell Gramma Consortium of retired telecommunications workers bring us the golden spike many hands make for light work a million petticoat junctions. The ability continue to function when everything else is offline. and for all of our friends out there listening especially in the great state of Kentucky, I want to say good afternoon to our friends around Louisville. We have of course a new Colonial Marine Militia company that is going to be meeting this next week. Not too far from Knob Creek. Apparently we'll have more on that as we go. Let people give a point of contact when the time comes and they want to come up on the air we'll see what happens but again for our friends down there organizing a lot of good stuff came out of Knob Creek and a lot of things have been happening all over the country in the process because all these people getting together means that everybody gets a chance to find out what's a happening in their neck of the woods and to act accordingly. Well It is Communications Tuesday. One of the things I was doing before we came up on the air is bagging up antenna kits. I have a number of wide, actually, broadband multi-range output antennas that were donated to us. They need to be adjusted. These actually, with the little secondary dipoles where they're set up, They are extendable, they of course can be frequency specific if you want to tighten into a particular element, you know, small or narrow element of the bandwidth that you want to target. Or you can set it to a general or neutral station where everything pretty well will come in, not perfectly at one end of the dial or perfectly at the other, but there will be an average reception with that particular configuration. So these are, let's say I've got five total that I counted up. Got all the spare rods, all the allen wrenches, all the different tools need to be there. I've got one or two pieces that are missing before we got these. And fortunately I just happened to be stumbling a bunch of stuff from one of the yard sales to include the spare allen wrenches that I needed so each one's got a set now. And including a couple of nuts, bolts, and screws that each kit should have had that I didn't have. and if replaced with stainless, so that's kind of cool. The stainless was a freebie. I ended up with a little toolbox I got a couple days ago, and in the toolbox I didn't look in the lower little compartment area and oh wow, there's a whole bunch of really nice super clean precision nuts and bolts and screws and stainless, so it was really neat. I separated those, those go into another kit. but the spare parts I needed, now I don't have to worry about them being in the kit. Even if they sit around, they might rust. Well, they're not going to rust if they're stainless, so that settles that problem real quick. Anyway, price is right, didn't cost me anything. Just a few minutes worth of sorting. Another thing that I highly recommend is, especially for all of you that are prepping your vehicles, is a ready packs, whatever you want to use. I use milk crates because everybody throws out milk crates. They don't look pretty, they toss them out, and they get red ones, green ones, blue ones. That doesn't make any difference. But for instance, I've got one kit that is nothing but balls for trailer hitches. Plus I've got the Reese hitch and the C hitch combo hitch that we need for doing everything from Pinto to whatever ball happens to be making the lower end of the sea. I've told you about these before. I highly recommend that you get one. If you don't have them, you need to buy one. This means that whatever trailer you have to move, if you're part of a column, something happens to another vehicle and you don't have a trailer, but the trailer is on the other vehicle, it's being abandoned, you're going to be picking it up and dragging it down the road. Well, with these combo pintle hitches, the way they're set up is that they're a normal C, but the lower leg of the C is actually a ball hitch. The ball hitch component can be replaced to whatever size ball you need. But the neat thing about these is that they have been running as little as $48. I haven't seen them any cheaper. Yes, they're all one big solid cast and fixture. They hook up to a standard Reese or whatever you want to where you can hook them right up to the bumper like we did with the old M880s But in this case this is an ideal add-on feature. You can also put it on another vehicle Let's say that you don't want to use a particular vehicle for Trailers, but you do have the kit with the trailer that day Well, if you have another vehicle you can pull out whatever Reese or you know again clean out the channel Make sure it's a you know again isn't crud it up grease it up after it's been cleaned up, stick the unit in the receiver, congratulations now that vehicle can move whatever trailers you happen to have. This is especially critical with logistic turnaround. You're going to be taking equipment out, dropping it off, and that same vehicle is going to be towing something back. Well, if that is the case, you don't know what kind of trailers we're going to have at the other end and you never know what you're going to be seeing that's going to be laying there. It needs to be moved out. Maybe a piece of equipment, a piece of machinery, something that is on the battlefield, near the battlefield, or donated. You need to be able to get it out of there fast. It would be nice to have the right tools in the toolbox. Now another thing is spare parts for the vehicles that you are running. I've been doing a lot of work on the little Dodge Dakota, just patiently, one piece here, two pieces there. And now I'm going to change out the radiator. That's going to be the next thing. I was expected to get 200,000 miles on the radiator. I think I can live with that. I think I can replace it. But anyway, water pump, pulleys, etc. Well, the old part that I took off, for instance, one of the idler pulleys, there's nothing, it's not dead, it's just tired. So what did I do? Put in the box for the replacement part, wrote down what it goes on. Don't just put in the box and assume your telepathy is going to work, guys. Write down what's in the automotive parts box. This is also handy for the future just in case you get rid of the vehicle but somebody else needs parts and you may have something on the shelf they can use. Or you can give it to them. That's what I do. I don't have the vehicle. He needs the parts. Congratulations. We just had a minivan that was fragged. It took all the electrical components off what we could. Those are the pricey parts. All the fuses, fusible links, everything. We made a Chrysler repair kit. It's now canned up and it goes to the owner. In addition, we got the electronic brain out of there. They run $80 to $100 a piece. Well, he's got one, but now he has two for his spare. Congratulations. Now he can either sell them or whatever. Nice to be able to sell two at a time for a reasonable price. Because people are more likely to pick up the used ones that way and not feel uncomfortable. Big thing is we know all these things were working because the vehicle was running. So it just fell apart. Just, you know, 300,000 miles, all the little metal parts that were welded together just started coming apart. Suspension was falling apart, which is sad because the engine actually was pretty decent. So we've seen this over and over again. The engine outlasting the car now. Well, the important thing is all those support items need to be put into a kit. Take the kit, modular, put it into a modular form. These are all things that you may need down the road. Something gets shot. See, now we're adding something to the formula we haven't really... people haven't put into their brain yet. It's like, okay, you're talking about people having guns and getting very aggressive. You don't get to pick where the bullet flies and what it impacts on. And of course, it's the old fickle finger of faith thing, guys. Better a part that works but not very well or not as well as opposed to no part and not working at all. See how that works? How that is? Some things can be rebuilt, other things cannot. Some things aren't being rebuilt right now simply because it's so cheap for the other parts that your temptation is simply to buy a new one. And a lot of people are doing that, but that doesn't mean they get rid of the old one. Water pumps are probably the best example. Water pumps could easily be rebuilt. I've done far worse projects and done them from scratch. Water pumps, when they usually go out, it's the bearing fixture and the seal there. All of that can be dealt with. We've actually had to build from scratch. When we had to rework equipment or machinery that is applied to the machine rooms and a lot of these old, old buildings, you can't buy it anymore. You have to make it. You can't buy it anymore. They never made it for 50 years, but you still need the part So guess what you'll learn to build okay, and all the components and everything's out there. It's just it's a lot of work Yeah, W. R. K. Is attached and that's usually what returns people's processes so in a Mad Max or a road warrior scenario that everybody's been talking about I'll bet you'll take the time You see how that is? So again, having the components there are the big thing, the critical components. Ideally, again, parts that work. They don't have to work well, just work. But electrical fixtures and electrical boxes and plugs, usually they're bastard for a machine and only good for a few years, and they change out the model completely. So if you have parts you can scavenge and pull, do it. Same with switches and controls. We just scrapped out one piece of equipment. You know, we don't scrap it out unless it's fragged. Well, one of the cars was turned into a, you know, an automotive canoe by the tornado. And we've been taking parts off and we've scavenged most components that were critical. Well, lo and behold, we finally got to the point where the rest of the parts either had to go to another guy that had the car, which we did. I took everything off valuable and I transferred it to him. Well, the first thing I took off were all the switches and controls that we could. One of them it turns out he needed. I didn't know it. But he needed the one control and it's one of the primary window controls. So he got it for free. Trying to find the scrap yard or junk yard? Well, scrap yard is not likely because they get crushed and mushed. Junk yards, everybody's looking for the same part nowadays. So anyway, case in point, just remember guys, the stuff's out there. But if you're going to be maintaining a fleet, start accumulating spare parts. Now another thing real quick, radio communications support. Guys, make up a little kit. Watch for people that are throwing stuff away that's electronic. Let me give an example. Somebody tosses out a 12 volt light that has a regular ashtray plug, right? A male plug. Put the light's frag mark, yep, and my wire cutter comes out and I snip it right off back to where as close as I can to the fixture if it's busted. And now I have a spare cord that I can roll up into my kit and have as a backup in my repair rig. Wire nuts that are oddballs all go into little containers and now I have spare wire nuts, spare nuts and bolts, washers, spare plugs, fuses. How many of you know that inside many of those little fixtures that go into your ashtray plug, you know plug into your female ashtray, those male plugs? Do you know that many of them have a fuse on board which is why the piece of equipment typically fails? Have you investigated that? Be a good idea if you have something like that to save the fuses off other Rex or derelicts or better still save the whole fixture with the fuse Yeah, probably a good idea a lot of different things bulbs light bulbs all those items need to be in there, too also Ground wires and such this is something that most everybody does forget, but it's really critical for good broadcast Grab yourself a couple of steel or copper bars. No, copper rods. I've got actually regular grounding rods, two of them. And those go into the truck or the trailer radio kit. Why? Well, one of the first things you do when you stop the vehicle and deploy is you take one of those copper rods and you drive it into the ground. Doesn't that be super deep? But you drive it into the ground, run your ground line right out to that, and hook it up right away. The sooner that you have an effective ground, the better your signal will be and the cleaner your power supply will be too. Just something to think about there. Now just grounding off the frame, the idea is you run an umbilical out and you hook a line right up to that copper grounding cable, that grounding rod. Now the grounding rods actually got to the ones, the same ones you'd use for a house. and they are part of your engineer equipment that goes with your radio rig. Now, with your radio equipment. Now, that includes a small sledgehammer or a hand-held sledgehammer slash, you know, a blacksmith small. Or blacksmith's hammer, forgive me. a ball peen hammer, large scale, any number of other smaller tools, wire cutters, etc. should all be in the kit. And the reason is you don't know what you're going to have to fix a repair. I would also get a cable end repair system or rebuild system. That includes male and female connectors and the crimpers, etc. etc. etc. along with this, you know, usually it's a crimper and it's a pliers combined. A little hint. Watch the dollar stores. Right now at all the dollar stores, all of the traditional telephone line connector crimpers are there for a dollar a piece. You can buy the mail fixtures for the mail component plug for nothing. I mean literally for what, 50 for a dollar right now. So as far as having repair or smart parts and pieces if you watch you can pick up other ones odds Nens laying around in kits usually resale shops Fantastic do that now I would point out something you haven't read the little story blacklisted and blacklisted news guys remember we said about an Rand's Atlas shrugged well mismanagement failure and land of the free and home of the slave no land of the fee and home of the slave slash the superpower New Jersey Island won't get its landlines back after Sandy because copper is too expensive. What? New Jersey Island won't get its landlines back after Sandy because copper is too expensive. Did you read this story? Well, remember, Dagny, Dagny we need nails. Dagny we need nails. Copper wire, Dagny. We need copper wire. Remember Atlas Shrugged? Yeah, remember the pleas for supply? About the pot bellies, the suck ups, the pull peddlers. We're stealing everything before it ever got to where it was needed to keep the infrastructure going. Well, lo and behold, consumer advocacy groups and the AARP are petitioning regulators to keep companies from refusing to replace copper lines because not only do backup batteries only provide two hours of talk time, but 911 calls might not go through in such blackouts because of new networks congestion, as Verizon warns about VoiceLink. Then there are medical devices like many pacemakers that require periodic tests over phone lines and cannot be transmitted over voice link. Facts can't go through most wireless networks and many home security systems also depend on copper phone lines to reach the help at the other end. They told us this was the greatest thing in the world. One resident said, But he claims that about 25% of his calls through voicelink don't go through the first time he dials or even after multiple tries. He says calls are often interrupted by clicking noises and you can hear another person on the line on occasion. Sound reminiscent of the good old days of the party lines guys? Well, just about as bad when they start stacking and racking these phone calls on the same carrier wave. D'oh! Anyway, unfortunately for the residents of Montalocking and elsewhere, it appears that the old way of providing telephone service will follow the fate of the telegraph. It's just too pricey to replace copper. And besides, argue phone companies, many homes use cordless phones, which require electricity and, as such, would be just as ineffectual as wireless service in the case of a blackout. Well, that's what I keep those other phones around for. In other words, Dagny, the wire is not going to get there. Sorry. And remember, this superpower that is so supposedly wealthy can't maintain the infrastructure. Just think about there. We got George, everybody got George? I just got on, I was out all day, I just got off the internet, and they're on DepartyCommandCenter.N-I-N-G. There's a letter from the USDA to the states that there might there might not be no food stamps for the month of November There's a letter printed from the USDA to the states in the Department of Agriculture Yep, and what's their reasoning behind that the government shutdown? Well all we have to do is lay off six major bureaucrats, and we'd have all the money we need for the food stamp program and furlough the TSA. There we go. See how that works? And then they go right back to collecting food stamps too, which is where they came from. Yeah. Yeah. Keypartycommandcenter.ning.com and there it is. Somebody can pull it up for you. Well, actually they're probably in the chat room, guys. Go ahead and give it out for the guys in the chat room again. Go slow. Keypartycommandcenter.ning.com. It should be there in the scroll down to the bottom of the page. It should be there USDA sends letters to the states that probably know who stands for November. The letters printed out and everything. The big thing there again is what I've said before this morning. Look at the grocery carts that were in the stores, guys that were abandoned. What did they have in them? Did they have cases of canned goods? Did they see everyone like with one person with bag fulls of rice and stacked deep and getting the cheapest most for the least amount of money? Or was it Cheetos? And when you notice that I've they actually did this to show just how barren things were but the problem is what they were showing the first picture on this one web page this morning actually midday I was looking at it about noon was the freezer aisle And like I was joking earlier, what was it? It was the pizza section. Yeah, my Paul family is starving out in the parking lot. And if we don't have our E-T-B or B-T-A or We Screw You card, my family won't get their pizzas today. And they're standing out here in the Escalade in their rags, having to wear last week's clothes that they bought last week. And if they don't get their DiGiorno latest brand of pizza, they just won't live. Life won't be worth living! Yeah, think about it. Go ahead. Hey Mark, this is JC from PA. That's also listed on Western Rifle Shooters Association. And actually the guy from WRSA put out feelers to fund make sure that that was legit from the USDA. I think there's some question about it. I mean I saw the same thing, but WRSA also has it posted on the blog. So if anybody wants to normally read that blog, they'll see that there as well. Very good. So again, people are asking questions to get confirmation as it is. Correct. The guy that runs WRSA basically put out a general inquiry into that law, whether it was a legitimate memo or not from the USDA. I imagine he'll probably hear something back by the end of the day. That was this morning when I read it on there. Very good. And again, one of the reasons guys remember there's a lot of stuff that's being thrown out there. But, as far as them doing the stuff with the food stamps, I wouldn't be surprised. Each one of these departments has been told to rattle the chains. Now, what they're doing this for is to threaten all of us. It's not to scare the poor people waiting for their DiGiorno pizzas. Because if I didn't get there first, the guy's already got all the filet magnant. And then they took all the steaks, I had to settle on the DiGiorno Upper End pizzas, and that's all I could get in my cart. I only had $500 worth of DiGiorno pizzas. I needed $700 like that lady in front of me. She had $700. I was counting. I was mentally counting. I could count them real quick like cows when you're a cowboy on the horse. And I looked at her and said, oh man, I could have fit $700 worth in my Escalade. I could have done it, I'd have the kids riding down the roof or something. It's okay. Yeah, I'd be working. See, because the problem I have with this is that the whole thing with this garbage with the cars was absolutely fabricated by the executive. The only thing that happened is that the reason the brakes got put on even faster is because, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh So now we're gonna have the you know the food stamps carrots like well You know what they better suck it in then if they're getting a warning they better buy twice as many DiGiorno pizzas now Don't worry. We're gonna be paying for the electricity We'll be paying for the pizzas and we'll be paying for the extreme medical care because again understand well these people are extremely overweight Well, I mean well slightly obese well, okay obese and minimally obese, but they all they got problems Go ahead I bought the store brand of Bislek that was like the boxes were dented. I bought them for 25 cents a piece. Yeah, grab all those you can. I don't even hesitate guys, if I see a pile of that I'll clean it all off the shelf. Won't be buying that for a while, but you know what, use it. That's the big thing, get used to using it. If there's something that's an oddball item that they're canceling out and it's 10 cents a container or 25 cents a container, buy it all. Well, the box was just dented. Yeah, well that's yeah. Oh my goodness. I don't know if that'll work now. Yeah, it's still in the same container. Yeah. Well the big thing is if you're not using it though, get used to putting it into the cycle until it's used up. But you know or at least get used to the idea of using it. My biggest point here is a lot of people if you have stuff and they go, I don't know how I'd use that, we'll find out. Figure out because typically with anything that's a food stuff, somebody's come up with kooky recipes that are really neat. So it's like, wow, you could make pomegranates into cherry pie. Stuff like that. Mock lemon pie from the depression. There's not a lemon in sight. Doesn't have any lemon, does there? I mean, I've got that recipe as depression, like depression lemon pie. There ain't no lemons in it at all. But it's where you got a lemon pie in front of you. So it's just one of those things that can you know it's like many things that were created. So once you've got it, do a search, go through all these cookbooks. I grab every cookbook that people want to throw out. Nancy's got a hell of a collection of cookbooks. She's going through two boxes of them right now while we speak because you know it's page at a time because we've been finding all kinds of neat stuff to use up what we're getting this year off the trees. Go ahead. Well, you know, the thing is, I bought the Biscliff board because I bought a lot of canned chicken, like canned meats and all that stuff. I even bought a template that was being discontinued on a shelf that people probably dread is chipped beef in the can. Yeah, I grab all, if it's, as long as it's cheap, buy it. Everybody, it's a change out. If nothing else, excuse me, it's a change out. Real quick, I tell you what, we're almost at the bottom. In fact, we're a little past the bottom of the area. We still got Joe there. Anything else? Okay, I'll do it. Go ahead. This was JC. Okay, JC, I'm sorry. Did you read Matt Bracken's When the Music Stops? He did a short story called When the Music Stops. I've seen it, yeah, I've seen it. I've got it. In fact, I've even got it right here in a file too, as a matter of fact. Not too far away from my finger. Go ahead. He's well basically he had pointed this out probably about a big lead year and a half ago this very situation we're in and He had even mentioned something about them stopping social security and the EBT cards As being a possibility because you know within a day or two stopping EBT cards They'll be riots giving him the perfect excuse to be able to declare martial law That was one of the proposals have been put out. Well now they're actually saying and like I said if this is legit and that the USDA is putting this out, then it's basically going that way and giving those people an opportunity to prepare for it in a nefarious way. Yeah, the whole point we should be making is anybody and everybody, especially the older people, it's like you said, my mom and dad were the oldest of eight on each side and lived through the depression. Got to see it from top to bottom. from beginning to end. Okay, it really didn't end all that well either. World War II wasn't exactly a great happy ending for the Depression. It was a great distraction. You know, life or death. That's what it was. That was their way of getting us out of the Depression was distracting us with a war, which is what the pecker was trying to do with his BS with Syria. I guarantee that was part of what the whole agenda was and everybody says it's going to be World War III. Yeah, their usual MO is to start some BS up and we're all supposed to be so stupid we won't catch on. The difference is communication is instantaneous. So they've got to knock down communications and do other damage before they can make this work. But the older people need to prepare and emphasize why. That needs to be the key. Tell you what we're going to do guys, everybody stay right there because we got, again, a little air candy. Pay attention to this song. This thing has been around for a long time as a matter of fact. One of our friends, Captain Monahan, has been asking for it for years and so we got it right here on the network. We'll be back. Get out of here, get out of there, let's have an end to war. I'm glad they weren't around to say, get out of Valleyport. The Minutemen are turning in their grave. Washington and Jefferson are crying tears of shame. The seedy men who'd rather live as slaves. The Minutemen are turning in their grave. to our heritage, what's happened to our pride. Since when the free Americans pulled for the other side, since we sent food to Hitler, troops are praised the enemy. Did all our children die in vain, defending liberty? The Minutemen are turning in their grave. Washington and Jefferson are crying tears of shame. To see these men who'd rather live as slaves The Minutemen are turning in their graves And who feels that's taking on But I failed to understand the man that ought to bend his home God's one little prayer I've prayed years because I don't ever let those kinds of people serve in Washington The Minutemen are turning in their graves and I'll hear the change. I'd rather go back. our back the minute men are turning in their graves. Well, I'll tell you what, had a lot of good people who have stepped forward and went to Washington here the last couple of days. Both groups have done their part. The big thing is that tag teaming is the way to work it, guys. Everybody has been stepping in, making their voice heard. And that's where our conscience is clear. Our conscience is clean when we have to pull the trigger and actually fight for our liberty. that's how it works. The bad guys really don't understand that yet. Oh no no no no no. I'm not apologizing for anything and I'm not satisfied with what I see happening. But done everything I can you're not listening now we're going to shoot your hind end and the rest is going to be history it's just how it works so everybody out there got a clean conscience everybody's gonna feel satisfied police state wants to puff up shysters that are the internationals want to try and do damage to America then we're gonna have to teach them a lesson and it's going to be a it's going to be a knock down kick them in the head drag them out to the corner and be down on some more kind of fight that's all there is to it so just be prepared for that Real quick here, you know, if I mention Sportsman's Guide, it's not very often, okay? But there are some things that they have been showing up that are scarce or that are very good buys because of, you know, quantity prices. Sportsman's Guide over in their Amazing Deal section on page 2. Now this is something that I've had idiots that don't have a clue, never used them, which again, I just, okay, uh-huh, uh-huh, that's good. They freeze their hind off, hind and off, that's not my problem. These are German military back warmers. Well, they're not really just back warmers. These are a kidney wrap. Now, you motorcycle riders that use the kidney belts, these serve the exact same purpose. Typically what most people don't know is a kidney belt is usually wool padded on the inside and leather on the outside. So yes, it does work as a back support, you know, to a degree. But in reality it's designed to help to keep the kidneys warmer. If you do that, you keep the blood at a higher temp. Everything is at a higher temperature. It retains more calories. It's still shed through the system, but the point is it's shed by the body in other areas. And that means you retain more of the calories slash heat. Now again, let's see. The item number is See if I can find it for you. It's DODX-219089, 10 new German military back warmers. Now I don't know if they're olive, it says olive drab, but I've never seen them in olive drab. Typically they come in white. I don't think they're OD. The picture shows the white model. which is the most common. So if they're OD green, that's fine. But typically they're in the white slash the snow. Very simple to use. They're actually so simple it's ridiculous. A friend of mine in Korea, he was with the frozen chosen, he went into Korea the very first weeks of the war and ended up fighting pretty much through the whole of the Korean War all the way to the chosen reservoir and back. Well, they issued them, guys came around with Jeeps, everybody's having a problem with feet freezing, getting so stinking cold and the proper gear wasn't there. A guy came around with a bunch of stuff from the Danish troops, they were these belt-wrapped things that went around the kidneys. And everybody was like, hey, this will keep your feet from freezing. And everybody was laughing, yeah, right, sure, but they'd try anything. Put them on and they found out, hey, they work. Hey, these things work really well. Well, the thing that's interesting is when they came around with the first issue of the Mickey Mouse boots for the troops that they had them for, he said the first thing they wanted is they wanted those kidney pads back because they didn't want their feet overheating. So they had to turn those in to give them to the troops who didn't have anything where they gave them the new Mickey Mouse boots. And this is a supply where the guys actually knew what they were doing and they were trying to keep more people from losing their feet. I'm freezing to death. So just something to think about here, and this is a simple item. I keep this in my kit. I always have one of these in my house load, and I typically have one, a second one in my fanny pack rolled up tight. Also, if it gets a little cool, and if you don't have, if you're going to travel, light, freeze at night, the Ranger philosophy. Well, with one of these, you don't use it during the day. You wrap your selfie, you know, the way you're supposed to, wear it the way you're supposed to at night, and it helps to keep you functional. You actually get some rest if you're going to be sleeping. You're going to retain more body heat. You're going to be shivering and shaking less. that's for all you people who travel as minimalists. Remember figure out what tools offer the best performance and this is a solution you can also of course do it with a piece of wool blanket you can cut the wool blanket and pin them in place or you know create wraps or stays with velcro for that whatever but these are already built ready to go dollar a piece you know in other words well it's eleven dollars if you're not a member so big deal you're talking a little over a dollar a unit and they're 10 for $11 will just do it that way the item members do DX to one nine zero eight nine and that's ten german military back warmers and it says are all of drab I'm picture doesn't matter but we don't care that's okay caller go ahead who do we have up meat eater yeah go ahead a little bit of an echo it just wanted to you but tell everybody that center place center center fire systems I think has a good deal right now they have the folding BZ 2008 762. It's similar to an AK. I know a lot of people are going to say, no it's not an AK. I understand it's not. It's really a check BZ 58, but it's only $400. If you look around... That's the best price in the country. Yes, and mags are available. Go ahead, please. For around $13. They do have them available right there for $30, which, if you can't buy them, maybe spending a couple of extra dollars, make sure you have three or four mags, and then try to buy the surplus, which worked very good, but it's a good rifle. I still like the SKS, but... For those that want something that's folding and a good operating 7.62x39 rifle, $400 you can't beat it right now. And as a matter of fact Apex Gunparts has mags also and Sarco has mags. But you should get at least a mag with a rifle, right? Yes. I believe so. Boy, I was showing the picture of the weapon without the mag. That's not good. I don't like it when they do that. Sometimes that means that, let's see, US made receiver and barrel adjustable front sight adjustable. Yeah, I don't think you guess you don't get the mag. No, well, I guess you're saving a little bit of money that way. $400, still it's $400 for the rifle. Now, let's point out that that's in 7.62x39. The old ones were in the 7.62x45 check. These are in the standard AK round. $400 is a pretty reasonable price. Of course the mags they want $30 apiece for. Those are the 30 rounders and they do have them in stock. So what they're doing is sending you a strip model, no accessories. I don't consider the magazine a sent accessory. I would have to say shame on them for that one. I'm sorry, yes, it will shoot one round at a time, but I'm not spending $400 on a very sophisticated shorty bolt-action rifle that's got all these extra gas features I don't need. You know what I mean? So a magazine would be, to me, be the, uh, hi guys, that's an essential part of the weapon. However, let me double check here. Apex Gun Parts, www.apexgunparts.com. dot-com There we go. Got another chat room for you guys. I believe they have a pretty good price on those mags and I might be wrong But I'm pretty sure they have these e-mags available and they have some other part in fact Seems to me that they're offering a new stock for the VZ rifle also by the way So for anybody out there they make a new stock for the VZ that actually has a rail up above So you have a cheek weld. Yeah, they have quite a bit of options on that Apex gun parts Yeah, in fact, there we go. VZ58 right there. Let's see what they have what they're asking. Oh, yeah, they've got a good they've still got more one dollars Yeah, I see. Well, there we go. You know, that's still not a you know, that's still not a bad deal Well, I should for for 75 dollars. Yeah, there you go. See again, I know there's other prices out there depending on what you how many you buy more you buy cheaper they get and I highly recommend that everybody check that out if you're looking at a Also again, how many mags I'll see why well at least you want to get as many mags you can afford Yeah, I don't worry about excellent. No. Yeah, don't worry about excellence 75 that's a good deal Yeah, I do the I do the four for 75 the hell with excellent go with good be quite honest They're gonna be more than serviceable enough So there you go guys right off the bat apex gun parts on the second page of their vz 58 parts Second item down like you said and you get a leather the leather pouch that goes with it the mag pouch That's not super critical, but it's nice to have the right parts for the weapon This would be a good 5.10 rifle. Actually, and you should probably buy, they got barrels used for $7. So if you're looking for that, I mean they got new ones for $50, but used one, oh I'm sorry, pen, sorry. But the barrels for $50, that's still not a bad deal. And you probably want to get a barrel for this because it's not chrome lined. And a lot of the ammunition, obviously we want to make sure we maintain our rifles properly, but it is corrosive ammunition a lot that the Russian ammunition that you're shooting through this. And I think it's good practice also to have an extra barrel. So pick up an extra barrel and you got a complete system for a little over $500. Yep. And again, if you just the basic rifle, the weapon itself, firing pins, extractors, everything else is available for the rifle in kit from the kits that they've broken down. So if you go to centerfarsystems.com they have the rifle for $400, 7.62x39 and that's the VZ58 civilian equivalent. Then you can buy magazines for about $78 cheaper if you go to apexgunparts.com ApexGunParts.com. Go to the BZ58 section and they have 30 round magazines for with a leather pouch, leather mag pouch for $75 for a condition good. That's what I would buy. So you're going to clean them up. In fact, if you really are worried about it, I'd clean them up, strip off all the grease, strip off everything, clean them up and I would camouflage them. That will settle it real quick. By the way, the rifle itself is going to be camouflaged eventually too. It's going to be painted over. Not going to leave it original finish in the long run because I'm not worried about Purdy. I'm worried about blending in. So, in fact, that's something you might already decide to do. But these are good, this is a good rifle for a 5.10 project. You know, five of these. on the rack. Hey, somebody offering that kind of firepower and that ability to actually get some rounds down range in common for ammunition? That's good. Now the magazines are the issue, but even there Four mags and a mag pouch for $75. That's reasonable enough. That's a saving at least a few dollars. I'd be willing to bet if I look around I might even find a better price, but Apex right off the bat is the one I want to check out. The other option is Gun Parts Corp. If you go to Gun Parts Corp or www.dot, and I know that there's other companies that have the VC mags, CDN and investments might have a good price too. You also, you know, for it doesn't I'm looking here on Apex. They don't have the site But there is mounts for it. I see one on checkpoint dash USA comms checkpoint or checkpoint So you forget this is a you know an option for you know people that are looking for I think a very good, you know, this is a very good system if you look if you don't want to do the SKS which I think if you look at the SKS system, you're talking at maybe $400 for a complete system. This is going to be $500 and you can argue, well, it's got the pistol grip, etc., that maybe people like. Again, the SKS, I can't say enough. It's a very solid rifle. You can get those, I think, a classic right now for $300. Well, there's a number of different options. Like I said, once, before you do the final purchase, the big thing is obviously to ammunition, guys. 7.62x39 is available. I start buying ball ammo for it right away. Yes, I would buy the bayonet. The checks make excellent, the metallurgy is fantastic with the check gear. In this case, the check bayonet clips right on. Bingo, you're done there. spare parts from a number of different companies. The big thing is going to be extra mags, but if all I did was the spare mag pouch and one more mag, then that gives me the basics for somebody that shows up bare butt naked. Using this as a security rifle would work just fine. And again, the money you save goes into more ammunition. More ammunition, more ammunition, and did I say more ammunition? Oh yeah, I did. More ammo. Just keep picking it up and then you're doing fine plus they do have if you'll notice Apex has if you want to switch out the pistol grip you can if you want to switch out the stock they're making the new five-point AR-15 type collapsibles purely a Prefer you know, it's a preference issue the neat thing about the rifle the way it is that I like it's all original works factory spec We know the checks make stuff that work. You're not gonna have any problems with it and it's a proven system. It's just the odd man out system. This is one of those that's an orphan for parts so firing pin and extractor are your priority next any secondary springs or if you watch there are even complete kits out there still and I believe Royal Tiger Imports is one of the companies that had as I recall not too long ago here they had kits for these and they had mags www.royal.com Tiger... oops, forgive me... Tiger G-E-R imports dot com and if they're still in business, let's find out here real quick why yes they are. and Royal Tiger has a whole bunch of odds and ends stuff and I'm pretty sure well they still have kits I just don't know what they have guys so if you're interested I that's another place to check out they do have a bunch of really good mag pouch prices at Royal Tiger there's a bunch of odds and ends stuff that they have there that definitely is worth checking out you need to go through their inventory look to see what they have and see if what they What they have available is going to match your interests. There's a lot of odds and ends saying, oh by the way I see a VZ right there, but let's see if they have it in stock. Having it in stock and having a picture as we know are two different worlds. And actually that's probably the best price that you just quoted at $400 guys. And considering that SKS is a running four, it's a toss-up. If SKS is an excellent rifle and I have no problem, it's got a 20 inch barrel, It's a personal choice issue right there. The SKS to me, that's a nice system, but you're looking at $400 and that's with a specialized stock with an AR-15 type collapsible. I don't think that's critical in an SKS. If I can go with a standard stock, I will, unless the rifle can be had for the same price with a plastic stock. Then I might go with the plastic simply because, hey, you threw it in. As a matter of fact, regular SKS is running about $320. Of course you still need ammunition and stripper clips and all the other fun stuff. But the VZ is a decent rifle and it gives you again that 30 round magazine capacity. It would be an excellent weapon. Here you go. This is better than a butter knife. You want a better weapon or a different weapon. Go kill the black uniformed moose that's knuckle dragon out there and you can have what he's carrying. Then you bring that VZ back and we'll give it to somebody else. See how that works. So it's a good choice. They've got the price down where it's released reasonable. My biggest complaint I'm going to tell them is like, guys, if you're selling a semi-automatic rifle and you sell the mags, the rifle should have a mag with it. That's not a special option. That's the only thing. It's just it's not a special option doesn't work that way anything else color go ahead, please We'll call it the Nancy Pelosi at yeah, that's what that's the way I look at it the because again guys It's not like it's got a magazine. Well. Yeah and it's supposed to have like a 30 round magnet or something? Maybe at least a 10? No, no, that's a special feature that you know, like, oh yeah, it's special, alright? It's SOP, standard operating procedure. So, that's right, have a problem with the guys and have to rib them about that one and I will. I'm gonna call them tomorrow. Seriously, thank you for pointing that out. I appreciate that. I don't know, maybe I can shame them into forcing them to at least put one magazine in the rifle, but well, I doubt it. They have done that before. They had some 10 round inline AKs that actually were a very good price and some of you guys bought them back about two years ago. You might recall and they just did not offer any mags. Well all of a sudden one of the companies got all the magazines and they had so many of them they wanted to get rid of them and they sold them for three dollars a piece so if you bought the rifle for you know a hundred eighty dollars less than a regular AK and then turned around and well all of a sudden the mags are three dollars a piece, you can't afford not to buy those. But the reason they were three dollars apiece is because the guy didn't have any rifles had no place No, no, no had no idea where there any So that's the kind of stuff you're gonna see happen on occasion in this case. There are mags available The VZ is a good rifle I wouldn't have any problems if you handed it to me I'll show how to make it sing and I'll keep carrying it probably once I'm used to carrying it I'll keep it unless I really really really see something I like more and even then it'd probably be well I'd be searching more for trade not on mags and more ammunition Once I got it in my hands, I'll stick with it and make it work because I at least have an idea how it functions and I've had experience killing people with it. Now I can make it do more of the same until I want to add another weapon to my inventory. Just that simple. Anyway, we're at the top. Meater, anything else? No, sir. I'll tell you what, you close with me because we're right at the top. We're going to hear the music here in just a moment.
