A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat, and speaking low to me, he said, We've fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave, in this, the land of the free. and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep. The 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 vie permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan's number. You've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. and your daughters visit doctors so their children 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 which 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 torch of 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 trample each God-given right, we only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Is this still the land of the free? Evening, ladies and gentlemen, this is the Evening Intelligence Report. I'm Mark Kornke. And butter knife. closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories west south east and northeast well ladies and gentlemen you were listening to us on Liberty Tree Radio dot 4 mg dot com or on AM and FM microstations, CB base stations and alternate technologies east and west of the Mississippi along with Alaska.

Preparing to, of course, bring communist Chinese boots onto the ground if they have their way as foreclosure officers. That's what that clandestine Pacific Rim trade agreement's all about and why we peasants don't need to hear anything about the big plan. Turning back to these we sweep across plains over the Mississippi and land of the Smokies. For the restaurant crews, Grandma Teams, OK Teams, and Mobville Grandma Consortium bring us the Golden Spike BK. Semi-cloudy, we've got some clouds moving. We have a front that's supposed to be here by Sunday and looks like the pattern is correct and we're on the edge of it. Depending on how it turns, we might be on the northern edge or, oh, maybe it'll turn farther south and we won't get very much of it all. But either way, we're going to probably get some snow this weekend. In the meantime, it's Actually, temperatures came up a bit, which I don't think anybody's really been talking about. What's it like in your neck of the woods and what's jumping off the wall this evening? It is December 13, 2013. It is Friday evening and therefore it is, dum dum dum, quartermasters corner. That's not what you expected, was it? Well, we just like to check and make sure that you're on your toes and paying attention. It is a wet and sloppy quartermasters today here. We do not have snow. Fortunately, we had a little bit of snow earlier in the week, but today it's just been dripping rain. So that's better than it being 6 inches of snow I suppose. It certainly is sloppy and disposing of what's left of the snow. But man we're getting into the mud season. So, you know, that's what it's like around here. It's traditionally always a big question whether there will be a white Christmas or not. And here we've already got the snow in early December, at least a little bit of it, and we're getting into the wet, rainy winter season. So that's what's that. I was hitting the sack the other day. I was just drifting off and I heard some strange noises and I always jump a little bit on these noises out, look around and see whether this is a security crisis or not. I realized these are coming out of the ceiling. Dang it, I have friends in the ceiling. It may have been squirrels for all I know, but okay, fine. I put out the traps. A good old BK has just bagged another couple of mice. These are big whoppers. These guys were nearly three inches long in the body. So it looks like it's time for Mouse Jihad again at BK's place. Keep changing up the locations and putting out the traps and bagging these guys one at a time until there are no traces of them anymore. So I have mentioned this before and I'm going to mention it again. One of the better things you can do on a tiny budget, both for utility purposes and possibly for trade or secondary professional purposes in a low tech scenario, is to have a collection of mousetraps. They eat and pick them up almost anywhere. You can probably even find them in your grocery store, but they're too expensive over there. Your dollar store will have them. Naturally, they're made in China like everything else is nowadays. But the local deal store, for instance, they sell bags of four of these guys for a dollar. It's really hard to think of a better use of a single dollar than a collection of four of these traps. They actually have metal parts in the trigger, which is nice. Some of them have plastic, which seems like a good idea, but has a really hard time engaging the trigger, meaning that it can be kind of hard to keep them from going off just under the weight of a little peanut butter. So while the plastic ones do work, I have had good success with them, I like the metal ones better. You know, strength to weight ratio is a little bit better on those guys and so on. But a bag of four of those for a buck is a terrifically effective investment. And who knows, you could find yourself in the position of the neighborhood mouse eradicator. That is a worthwhile activity. And that's your capital investment. There's a dollar a pop for bags of four of those. Guys, it's really hard to turn your nose up at them right now while we have the advantage of a commercial distribution system. And again, the price is right. The dollar store items, still the best way to go. Or if you've got a distress shop and somewhere in the area where they sell volume or pallets of, there's a lot of places like that that have truck load where this truck has been either impounded or had an accident. Everything on board has been written off. And if you're lucky, you have one of those nearby. There's a couple of them up in the Bay City area. where everything is just dirt cheap but of course when they have it they have it and when you come in the next time it's probably gone. Right, even in the current environment the insurance companies have a tendency if the truck rolls over they just declare everything in there to be scrapped. They don't sort through and figure out what's really broken and what isn't. They just declare the whole thing scrapped, write it all off, jack up the insurance rates for next time around and then all that material gets sold off to a distress outfit of some sort. And sometimes you can find bargains there and sometimes you can go look and there's nothing of interest, you know, that sort of thing. So as very much catch as catch can. There's another design of rodent trap which works equally well for both mice and rats. Rats are a lot tougher problem. Fortunately, I haven't had any issue with us. But this is a very, very clever and well worked out design and people might want to think about this. You start out with a pail, like a five gallon plastic pail of the common variety that we're all used to. You drill a couple of holes near the rim and you put a steel rod through those holes so that it runs across the mouth of the pail. I'm trying to describe this in a fashion that without drawings or photographs people can understand. Okay, so you have a pale and you have a rod running across the mouth of the pale. Okay, now take a round bottle of some sort, preferably plastic, so it's fairly lightweight, and preferably long and skinny, and drill a hole in the cap and a hole in the bottom straight through the main axis of the thing and thread it onto that rod. Okay, so we have a bottle or jar, a plastic thing that sits on the rod and will turn freely. Now we have mostly created our trap. What you want to do is take a bit of peanut butter or some other good bait. Peanut butter is probably the best one. You paint it in a band around that jar. It just runs in a little ribbon around the center of the jar. Not too far towards the end. You want to put it right in the middle. and create a little walkway so that rodents can come up by paint, stir, or stick or something like that, run up to the edge of this guy and see that peanut butter that's on the jar. They will see that jar out there and they have no trouble walking around the rim of the pail or walking out onto the rod that you've inserted in there. They have little difficulty climbing up onto the jar to get to the peanut butter, but it is very unstable since their weight is on the top of it. It's like a log rolling event. You've seen the old log rollers when they used to float timber down rivers. And of course, staying on top of the log is quite a job. So what you have done is you have created a little log rolling event for the mice and rats and so forth. And they run up there and they'll run around the rim as necessary until they're satisfied with the environment. They don't see any cats or anything like that. And they will set out that little axel, climb up on the jar, and they will get to the peanut butter, but sooner or later they will move a little one side or the other. The jar will spin and they'll fall down in the bucket. If you put some water in there, they will drown. If you don't put any water in there, they will simply be accumulated and trapped. Mice will stay in there because they can't jump out very high. There's a limit to how high they can jump. Rats can hop right out of that thing. So you probably want to put two or three inches of water in there so that that inconveniences their ability to jump out and they tire trying to jump and jump and jump and they get all tired and eventually they will drown. So that becomes a nasty, rotty type thing if you don't check them frequently, but you want to check it once a day. But by putting a simple rod, which could be coat hanger wire, and a jar across there and rigging things up so that they can get to it, you can create a trap which will catch many, many, many of these little guys as many as will fill up the bucket. And all you need to deal with it is to come along and say, oh, look at all these little guys in the bucket and do whatever you want to do to the contents of the bucket before you take it outside and dump it. But probably you want to do something lethal. However, you know, you're pouring a little bit of bleach or something like that, chemical warfare, whatever it is that you want to do, something to kill. Leaves is probably not a bad idea before you handle that bucket. But the Axle and a Jar Style Mouse Rat Trap is a very, very effective design. It's cheap, it runs forever, every once in a while. You have to clean off the jar and put on fresh peanut butter. But it will catch not one critter at a time like the little spring wrapped style, but it will catch them over and over and over again as many as are willing to run up the little critter path and take a shot at the peanut butter. And of course that was one of the things with the corn burner if I left would leave the lid on. The legion of cats, of course, are constantly watching for the chipmunks, but during the deep of winter, the small rodents are trying desperately to find food. And every morning, if we left the lid open, there would be something in the barrel. And the cool thing is, same idea, only think 50-gallon barrel, so there's no way anything is getting out. It's amazing, though, how high a motivated chipmunk from ground zero will jump and try. So, just one of the other things to consider if you have another reason to have cats and other critters around. Dogs and cats are harmonious to the eco-structure that man has set up. They serve a purpose, guys. Even dogs go after mice. In fact, if you ever get a chance and you do have a good utility dog, especially a good mutt, and you've got a second floor window during the fall, get up on the second floor, relax for a little bit and kind of watch what the dog does in the backyard, what he does in the side field. You'll notice he's not after things really big. In fact, the nose is in the grass, up three feet tall, he's down to the ground and all of a sudden you see something, if he's really quick, he'll flip something in the air and it looks gray and it's got a tail and then he's after again and after. Finally, you see one final chomp. Yeah, I think he got that mouse. Yeah, in most cases there aren't too many water buffaloes in your backyard, but there's a lot of little rodents. These are just as bad because they're the kind of stampede where they can destroy so much and you don't even have a clue. I mean, the little buggers come in from all directions. So this is a good solution. The catch-all mouse traps. are something that is a high priority. You're going to be storing more progressively. You're not going to have enough metal containers to go around. We just had this conversation BK before we came up to do the program here in the station. One of our friends is here and we've been switching out containers for the radio stations, for the radio pre-deployed sites. We're trying to find any cookie tins, metal tins, Anything that, you know, coffee cans with metal lids, the older, you know, the more sophisticated expensive brands and such. Any cans like that keep the critters out. They've got to nibble through metal. And the better the quality, obviously, the thicker they are, the least likely they're going to nibble their way through. And you can still put things in the Ziploc bags or whatever. But even any organic items, but even Papers because they nibble or they want to try and nest foods for obvious reasons. Electrical components, they'll go after certain electrical components and chew on them just because they want to try them. They'll see if they are something tasty. I don't know why, the Bakelite on the resistors, needless to say, because it isn't organic. Sometimes on the old resistors you'll see little nibble marks because they'll actually, well I'll try that one, I'm hungry, it's cold, I'll see what it does. I have been told sometimes they are sharpening their teeth on those things, sometimes they're interested only in the texture. Yeah, the thing is they're trying to figure out if, well again, it's got something, you know, when you're desperate, we're down to nothing, we'll eat cardboard, or anything else we can find. So the mice aren't any different, but the thing is that they do damage in different ways anyway. And so that's one of the reasons, again, think ahead. If you don't have, or if you have certain packaging systems, a mouse trap with a major enticement takes them away from the containers that they have to compromise in order to figure out what's in them. And the sooner you start thinning out the numbers, the better off you'll be in general. Rodentia are not your friend. The only other consideration, and I will bring this up again, BK, is since you've brought up the live mouse trap, let's not forget the Shishkebab skewers and an Indian cookbook we have here, How to Prepare Roast Mouse. Well, the only thing that I can think of, good use for mice, because it's not like most of us keep snakes as pets or something, but it seems to me that expendable rodents can be useful for testing some of your food stores if you're worried about whether the peanuts have picked up toxins or things like that. You might be able to use them as guinea pigs sort of. A mulch and dairy. By and large, yeah, we want them out. Ed, are you paying attention? Take a look at Skype chat, please. Let's see. A story that we discussed earlier this week, or you discussed earlier this week, there was a family that got lost in their SUV and there's a big manhunt for them, and I understand that they were found eventually. I wanted to comment on that but I did not move myself to call in in real time. It seems to me that a lot of these stories are kind of pointless and silly and that is that for maybe five bucks. These guys could have vastly improved their survival possibilities if not expensive and it's not difficult and it does not make a big deal of equipment. I would point out to people that at horrible freight or any similar outfit, you can buy for a dollar or two whole packets of magnets. Now you can get the little donut style, you can get rectangular style, you can get all sorts of things. They're not bad ceramic magnets, you know, utility items. For a dollar or two a piece, you can purchase Mylar emergency blankets that are silver shiny on one side and international blaze orange on the other side. They are the flimsiest things you have ever seen. It's robbery to charge a whole dollar for these guys in my opinion, but that's what they are. They are the size of one of those little travel packs of Kleenex. You can throw a pack of magnets in one of those guys into your glove box and you will have spent three, four, five dollars maximum if you're buying at reasonable locations. Now some of those drive automobiles that are made out of plastic. But the majority of us still drive cars that are made out of steel. If you were stranded out in a remote location, now aside from all over the camping and you know, make a fire and all that sort of basic woodcraft stuff that every Boy Scout knows, All you would have to do to enhance the ability of rescuers to spot you is you go outside in the car, you spread this little blaze orange thing over the car and you stick magnets all over it so it doesn't blow away and so they am suddenly you have a brilliantly marked vehicle that anybody flying over looking for you or driving around or catching a tiny as a glimpse of you is going to spot. Most people who are searched for and not found in time, chances are people came past them many, many times, but their eyeballs slid over the key thing. For less than $5, you can throw this stuff in your glove box. It doesn't spoil, it doesn't wear out, nothing happens, and it doesn't take any great amount of skill or foresight to think of this stuff. Toss that in your box and you can mark your location to an extraordinary degree. It doesn't need batteries either. I really have to roll my eyes sometimes when people get into trouble like this and don't make it out or barely make it out when the tiniest amount of preparation of a sort would do the job. Exactly. One of the big things here again is the items are all China support. They're off the shelf and there's a dozen different sources, especially even at the dollar store. To take $20 and go into the dollar store and then put that in a container and throw it in the car would be enough to keep you alive. If you just think about what could you do if you set a dollar amount, I'm going to make an emergency kit for $20. What can I go into the dollar store and pick up and make work for me? Now for another $20 for safety equipment separate from between Harbor Freight and Tractor Supply and a few of the other locations. Guys, if you don't have one, you might have the other. There's other tractor, there's other farm and fleets and things like that, and you never know what they're going to have on sale or what they've bought in bulk. They always do run into goodies. And they have special coupons, especially BK. Pay attention to that right now. Guys, everybody listening, one of our friends brought over a knife that he got for $3. It was a special email coupon that he got. He bought all that he could on the first coupon. He has one more. Hopefully he is able to find and use it in time. I don't know if it's outdated yet or not. These are big survival knives complete with matches, fish hooks, the whole many yards. It's all metal. The basic hilts and the handle were made for another knife that was around about 15-20 years ago through China Sport that was a copy of one of the American survival knives. Very well made. It's got a good saw back on it. $3 a unit. And again, it's not the fanciest, but you know for what it is, It was worth picking up to put in the 510 program. It's not something you're going to use every day for 20 years and pass down to your grandchildren, but it is a perfectly good utility item. If I recall correctly, those things are usual prices around $10, so you can get one there every day for that kind of price. I don't get the newspaper right now. I used to have an arrangement with an next-door neighbor where we got the sales section anytime the weekend newspaper came in. I get a lot more of the special ads, but they are always running those ads and specials and if you pay attention to the fine print, they run for a couple of months. So, there will be three or four that are active at any given moment. And I'll let you clip the coupons and use them. So, be careful, look through and take this coupon from this and that one for that and make one trip down there. You spend 40 bucks and you come back with a whole arm load of miscellaneous useful stuff. I have been in the habit of picking up free flashlight or $2 multimeters, that kind of stuff from them with those specials. Some of them have gotten a little bit tighter with $10 per just that kind of stuff. Well that's not hard. If I'm going to drive down there, I'm going to buy some stuff. Well, and again, candles, emergency lighting like you said, the little crank radios are showing up. So by the time you're done, you can put more than one kit together. You can have a kit for every vehicle, which is what we do recommend anyway. Most people aren't going to think about grabbing your emergency kit and throwing it from one vehicle to the next. So progressively, you want each vehicle for the winter outfitted or for the whole season outfitted with basic material. The safety blankets, for instance, that we're picking up. Guys, you have a car accident and somebody else is hurt. For a dollar a piece, you'll leave them. In other words, if you had wool blankets, it's like, man, I hate leaving a wool blanket because now you're looking at $20, $30, and $40 apiece to replace them. You know that the NMP is going to end up owning the wool blanket by the time everything is done. Exactly. They'll take them home, or they're going to be on the ambulance until they get home, take them somewhere else if they aren't all bloodied up. Whereas these Mylar blankets for $1 apiece serve the same purpose. Hey, by the way, it is an accident site, orange side out, reflective side in. and wrap up in that and there you go. Again, you're providing something in the way of support but you're not losing out. You still have the wool blankets on board. Nancy still loves the gray wool blankets. You have those to wrap up whenever you're going anywhere. Everybody does. If you're going to lay down on the way back in the car, it's kind of nice to be able to cover up. So the wool blankets are a good idea. Again, with the other items, the big thing is... I have to say before I forget it, that the little wool scarves that you had a while back, I got some of those from you, have served a well. One of our friends prodded me when I was griping about the interior temperature of the house, because our economy measures are in force at Castle BK. Those are the little scarves, very thin, but they do the job. You tie them up like an ascot or something and tuck them in under the shirt. That does quite a lot to seal around the neck and keep the chimney effect from dumping too many B.P.Us into the environment. And that's what we have in our emergency kits. Those are the East German ones that were available today. I bought every one of them we could. They're no longer available from the company or from Sturm. The West German ones are now available. Those are the gray with a blue line perpendicular to the length at the end of each end of the scarf. Those are a good heavy wool blend, just like the size of the U.S. wool scarf and they are a tube scarf. So guys, if you look, Sportsman's Guide has a big quantity price on those. $15 for $20 or whatever which is reasonable. There used to be a dollar item, even wholesale. They're not anymore, and if you see them for less than $1.50 a piece, that's less than wholesale right now. $2, less than $2. I'm noticing about $1.50, $1.50 is where they're hovering. And that's a pretty good price for those German scarves. They're wool, they have both the regular infantry, which are gray, and then they have the navy ones, which are dark blue. Your choice, whichever way you want to go. Whatever you can get the most for the least, they're both of the same quality. And the big thing is where we can get surplus, we get better quality. The China Sport stuff will do, but if you can spend the same money and get something better, then that obviously is your first choice. Remember, so handing those out left, right, up and down, along with weapons, ammunition, stuff under the Christmas tree is really a good idea. You might want to give them to the head of the household, though, like, hey, this is for your 510 or your preparedness program, whatever you want to do. And they can figure out how they want to store them or keep them together. Because again, they are a utility item that's becoming harder to get. Everything that's expendables that are small items like that are drying up in the surplus system. And China Sport is the only other direction that you can turn to for quantity and for affordable to get a bunch of something. I hate to say it and that's why again you've got to be careful there. The other thing with these characters with the disaster is we know fire is your friend guys. More matches, fire starters of whatever kind or fire producing technology matches, lighters, stick lighters, book matches. Strikers, all of those should be in the kit. You don't know when and out. Again, remember, we're setting this up so if it was like that car accident you were talking about, BK, we're prepared for that. But remember, it may also be a one-way trip outbound. In other words, preparedness scenario. So everything that you're carrying may be what you got. And if it is, well, go through the short list. See what you can do to figure out how to, again, modify. First aid kits are a mix. Again, on a car accident like that, you don't know how serious it would be. The bad part for them is they're out in the middle of nowhere. This was a remake, or like a 2.0 version, remember, of the family disaster situation we've talked about out in the air from several years ago. Except in this case, everybody survived. But my biggest problem was burning the tires and people still not seeing the car. I know nobody's going to like this, or most people don't, especially if they're in the eco freak zone, but one tree would have saved the family as a precaution. You pick one tree away from everything else, you've got some gasoline or oil petroleum product. I don't know how bad the car was or how the vehicle was situated as far as what was laying, but if the vehicle's upside down, everything's leaking out. So whatever combustibles you're going to save, you better be thinking about right away. Especially remember engines weren't designed to hold the oil in upside down guys. So what will happen is drip points, fill points will become leak points. And that's what you've got to be thinking about. Well, back to those P.O.L. products, pick a tree that's separate from everything else. They may not care about you. Most of the park rangers really don't. Most of them are eco-freaks nowadays. They hate humanity. But if they see a tree burning, by God, they will be there to fix and help that tree. Remember, that tree will be seen for many, many miles. If somebody is looking for something, that single tree is sacrificed. You can build me later, you can charge me for something. I really don't care. That tree will save everybody else's life if you are trying to get somebody to find you. If it is a survival, escape, and evasion situation, We obviously don't want to light any trees or bring any signals to try and get somebody that we really didn't want to meet in the first place around to where we are. So there's a balance depending upon the situation. But if you're trying to be safe... If it's one of those they're hunting you and you're hunting them type situations, that could be another situation. You make a little campfire someplace and you allow it to be a bit smoky and you make sure that you're a few hundred yards off watching it from the brush and wait for creatures to come. come around investigating the campsite. That sounds weird, but remember if it's nice and it's pretty and it's the right size, people will carry it away. Somebody will go, oh I didn't have my coat, oh that's, and then what they do is they'll wear it into the house, they'll take it someplace else, they'll carry it away, it'll be in the wrong place when you need it. Now, what I mean ugly, I'm saying it doesn't have to be something off, so people aren't really excited about grabbing it. But there's a lot of good gear out there, especially the old hunting gear, like in the old plaid red coats and such, guys, and pants. Complete sets of stuff like that. Bigger is better. Remember, you've probably got some gear on. You don't want to have to take something off. You want to keep layers on in a situation like this. So, oversized is good. Snowmobile suits. Right now I've noticed BK of the old 60's and 70's, mostly from the 70's. Snowmobile suits are showing up all over the place. I got a snowmobile jacket, I wish I could get it. It's a 3 going on 4X. And really nice. Zippers are great on it. It is a big coat. It'll go over everything I'm wearing and still allow me to move my arms and such. Now, that would be a good choice to throw in the vehicle. Why? No matter what size person it is, it will fit. And if it's a munchkin, well that works like a big old sleeping bag, doesn't it, BK? Yeah, more than. They end up like a Michelin man carrying pieces of their, you know, grabbing folds to huddle around, but at least they're warm. Exactly. So again, see, it will fit. And it's kind of like a utility, you know, cloak slash blanket is a way to look at it. They are Holofil typically, although I have a couple of really nice goose down suits here the other day. Nobody wanted them, they weren't pretty, but they are in a medium blue. They are pretty, they are not in vogue right now. They are not in a pattern or style that everybody is going, because they are in the 70's modern pattern. So, think about these things as items to be able to roll up tight, put them in the vehicle, leave them with the rest of the gear. When you got them, when you need them, you got them and you don't have to worry about it. Also, if you even had to use them in an emergency, you're not going to really cry if you actually have to leave them on somebody. Once again, it's a matter of personal choice there too. Well go ahead Buchanan, we've got more, please. Well yeah, now throw in, before we move away from the topic, if I have to take only one tool out, we all like hatchets, we all like machetes, we all like various tools of various sorts. If I had to take one tool out with the intention of using it for cutting wood, I would take a bow saw. Those things are fairly cheap, they're fairly lightweight, but man do they slice through stuff fast. and a hatcheted, kind of dull, boy, that's a workout. You just keep whacking and whacking and whacking. Eventually you'll get through, but it's going to be a job. You would be astonished also at the size of the tree. You can fell with one of those if you're willing to take a few wedges out of it, one at a time. Do not overlook the cheap tubular steel bow saw. Those things are not all that huge and they really do a job even on wet, moist green wood that otherwise tends to resist cutting. One of the other things about the bow saw is that it's really nice to remember that they do break down. So you don't have to leave them assembled and the folder models are out there too. There are several different variations. The cheapest ones are just bent, so those won't necessarily fold up very well, but they don't take a lot of space even like that. Right, they're flat, they're easy to put into the side wall of the trunk of the car or back up against the seat, where they're up and out of the way. They're not going to do any harm. You can make a quick plastic sleeve for the blades to be safe. There are a number of folder types and even at the dollar, well of course Big Lot used to be the place where these Big Lots become a box store where really they don't have anything bulk and loose like they used to. I'll repeat again, there's a new store in the series. You might see these out your way. They're called Ollies. Ollie's is today what Big Lot used to be 20 years ago. Bins of stuff and piles of stuff in the box from China or from Taiwan. Yeah, they don't exist in my area. If I go traveling up into your area, I should go up there and I should allocate a couple hundred bucks for a raid on an Ollie's because they aren't around here. And interestingly enough, for instance, they've got a series of sales they're trying to promote themselves a way Big Lot used to. And it's not fancy. The stuff isn't fancy, but it's the stuff that you go through, things that you use up and or you wear out. And they were just meant to be that way. It's like we used to go to Ollie's. So you used to go to a big lot and my favorite are C clamps. You used to have three sets of three C clamps in different sizes for $1.10. You cannot own enough C clamps. It is physically impossible until such time as the main floor collapses into the basement from the lake. It is not possible to own too many C clamps. Yeah, and the interesting thing about it is that that's completely disappeared while they have them at Ollie's like that. Now they still have some tractor supplies. More Harbor Freight. Harbor Freight has more of the feel of the old big lots in many ways. While they have a lot of stuff prepackaged, they also do some bin items where they take 20 or 200 pairs of pliers and just dump them in the bin. And they're 89 cents, 69 cents, 59 cents, whatever. But we Kmart used to do it back in the 60s. Same way. Each of these big store lines used to do this. And each one went to the or were convinced to go to the package system. And of course as they did, prices changed and they weren't as exciting a place to stop in and check out for that reason. So just something to think about there guys. There's other stores like that. There's other chains coming up. And if they are, take advantage of them. Especially take advantage of their sales. Like we're saying, coupon sales, anything like that. The other thing is watch for discontinued merchandise again. You're seeing a lot of that even in the China sports stuff. So if a line is ended and you're saying, oh, you're not making any more of that foot around, well, that's okay. We don't have a problem with that. But remember, if you like it, you might want to grab what's left there. That's happening more and more as the carpet's being rolled up in different ways. So there's something to think about. They're not as worried about offering us that selection they did before. They got the market now. And once they have the market, they're going to decide what goes up on the counter, not you. So, just something to think about there. Go ahead, BK, please. Okay. We have mentioned in the past a vendor. The proprietor's name is Ville Smith. The name of the website is lbtmolds.com. It's spelled in the traditional fashion with a U. It is Lema Bravo Tango Molds. M-O-U-L-D-S.com. What Mr. Smith does is while he has some of the ancillary equipment as well, hardness testers and boobs and things of this sort, his main business is that he makes custom bullet molds. He machines them on a special lathe so he does not cut them on a cherry. As a result, they are vastly more precise than the factory bullet modes that you normally get. He will make them custom to your specifications for no extra charge. Of course, he charges a bit more than the factory outfits that will not sell you anything right now because they are all out of stock. But his prices in my opinion are fair and he will do absolutely top notch work. Now there is good news and bad news about Mr. Smith and LBT molds. A while back he suffered a shot accident and incurred rather severe burns. I just recently discovered just exactly how severe they are and frankly I'm happy that he's still with us. Vero is an older gentleman and healing from injuries is a slower process. than when you are 20 or 30 and these burns are bad. The good news is that he is recuperated to the point that he is back in operation and predicts that he will have worked off his backlog of orders probably by the end of the year, which is not very long. We are in the middle of December here. So in a couple of weeks, his backlog will probably be cleared up at current rates. So, that means that we have an opportunity to place orders with him if you see fit to do so. I would urge people to do that because while he is back in the saddle, you never know how long you're going to have access to a resource like Mr. Smith's Expertise and if something happens to him or he takes a turn for the worse, I don't know who to call out as the next best choice. So, if you want an absolutely top flight mode, that is the place to go. Take a look at his website, lbtmolds, m-o-u-l-d-s, and you will find more data there than you know what to do. The first few times I looked at it and people pointed me at the website and so on, I read through there and I suffered information overload. I just kind of stopped reading after a little while and said, man, I don't know what I would want to order from this guy. He knows too much. There are too many choices and so on and so forth. Let me make it simple for you. If you have a rough idea of what you want, you write an email to him and you say, this is what I'm looking for. You say, I want a mold that will do the best job possible for this particular rifle and he will tell you, and it's a little kit with led slugs and instructions and so on, that will show you how to take an impression of your chamber and he will cut a mold custom for that rifle. Or if you write it to them and say, I want a mold to support a number of 30 caliber rifles in a medium blade, some of them will be lower action so they have to be flat nose, what do you suggest? He will write your back and say, well okay, I'd recommend you do this white and this nose profile. You know the following styles of mood brings and so on and you say okay and he'll make that for you. Okay. We had him on air a few months ago for an entire program interview. The transcript has been converted to PDF. One of our friends actually transcribed the whole interview, converted it to PDF, and it is posted on the old archive site. I don't think it's on the new archive site, but it is on the old archive site at theintelligencereport.co.nr. That is .co.NovemberRomeo. In that interview, we I wandered around a little bit, but the main topic of discussion was a very old technology called the paper patched bullet. That is a really interesting one. The only reason we don't use paper patched bullets now is that jacketed is actually easier to mass produce with the machinery. Then paper patches are because there's a little bit of hand labor involved in slicing up the little bits of paper and applying glue. It uses a diluted wood glue, common stuff you can get from a hardware store. You roll it around the base of each of these guys and so on. You do want to cut the mold for the purpose. So, if you're interested in the paper patch bullet, if you read that interview or pull up the audio archive and listen to it, much more stuttering and uns and as and digressions in the audio version, the PDF makes all BK sound like a much more professional broadcast professional, which I am not. So the PDF is probably the way to go. If you read that and you are not interested in the paper patch bullet, then there's something wrong with you. You should be very, very interested in it, whether you go with it or not. He has achieved astonishing performance with these. It turns out that with a plain old cast bullet, if you go paper patched, you can achieve muzzle velocities that you would not believe is possible with a cast bullet. Contrary to common opinion, air resistance is not the limiting factor on motor velocity with cast bullets. It's friction with a barrel and melting surface effects and so on that does it. He has driven rifle bullets that are cast. out to pushing 4,000 feet per second just as a stunt. It's not something you're going to normally do because they kind of spat and splatter on impact. But you can achieve velocities in excess of what's reasonable with jacketed bullets using the paper patch technique. This is technology that is accessible to you and me. If you can cast a bullet, then you can get a mold that is designed for paper patch. You can paper patch them and do some pretty remarkable stuff with motor velocities and so on. So grab a copy of that download. One of our friends just posted it. It's also on Intel.Militius.info in the download section. It is also available on our old archive site which is theintelligencereport.co.mr under archives. I know the way it's the same PDF file. That is the quickest way to read that interview. You will find some remarkable stuff in there. If you have any interest in picking up one of those molds, I would urge you to do it now while Mr. Smith is still with us and operational. You will be very pleased with the quality of the mold when it arrives. That is an asset that you will not be able to pick up somewhere else at least at anything on approaching that sort of level of service and cost and so on. So, well, Mr. Smith has been injured rather badly. He is on the mend and is back in operation now. So, this would be a reasonable time to send in some inquiries saying, you know, I am interested in a mode that does X. and see what he suggests for you and have him build a mold and get it in process. This is the time to do it. And again, looking at the 357 diameter, which would handle 9mm, 357 SIG, and all of the 38 special 357 loads, including the 357 maximum. The other consideration would be a 40 caliber mold and certainly a 30 caliber mold. in something that is a mid bullet weight. Remember, odds can handle 140, 150, 160 grain projectile. AK can handle a 130, 140, up to 150 projectile. But obviously, normally as you've seen, the 123 to 130 is the norm. So, what you want is something that's a balance where if you can either re-cast it and bore it out, you can drop the bullet weight down. The big thing is the overall length of the projectile, so it can be loaded in both those, any of the 30 caliber weapons out there. And a weight can be added with alloying or can be lightened with boring. The other thing that you can do is you can say, Mr. Smith, some of the arms that I have will want heavier bullets and lighter. Please build a two chamber mold for me and he'll make them slightly different weights if you like. You can say I'd like one that's nominally 150 and one that's 180 or what have you. Remember this is custom work and he's willing to do a custom job for you. So you can ask him for things and first he can say as well, that's too out of tray. I would make two separate modes for that. But he'll make a two chamber mode for you and you can specify different weights for the two chambers. The advantage is that you would be covering a broader spectrum of loads as needed with regard to not only an individual cartridge or type, chambering type, but many different chamberings. That is the advantage of being able to work with castings like this. As far as checks, gas checks and things of that nature, there are a whole bunch of other solutions out there, as was discussed, the paper patch solution. All of these are non-strategic. Paper is, of course, in theory, going to be readily available. That's one of those things that as things get more serious or become more serious, paper can be manufactured. And somebody out there needs to be thinking about that if they've already done it in the past. something that needs to be taken into consideration as a niche industry. Well, for this use, a few reams of paper sat on the shelf would be a lifetime supply, so you could just set that aside for deaths. Right, but it's eventually going to be worn out, like everything else, it will wear, it will be worn out, used out, something is going to happen, maybe an accident. Paper in general is something that we assume we're going to have floating newspapers rolling by like we've seen all the old disaster movies, but How many newspapers in your neck of the woods have gone out of business? Most of ours have. Well, you might see floating newspapers for the first week, you know, if it doesn't rain. And advertisements in the news from the mail. But anyway, point is guys, with solutions and the molds are definitely a first choice. 45 caliber mold, remember there are still a number of different weapons out there so we wouldn't just be buying a mold for 45 ACP. You'd be buying a mold that works into a lot of other weapons. Just take that into consideration. One more thing before we go, CDNNinvestments.com. Guys, they have a sale, as they always do on the weekend. BK, they have the broken shell 7.62x39 extractor assemblies. And they are a dollar So $2.00? $2.00 apiece. Item number NCJM015, broken shell extractor, 7.62x39. Guys, if you have an AK or if you have a Mini 30 or whatever, get these. Now you have a limited 10 on those. The only other thing, well, it's a matter of need. If there's something you need, take a look at the special. They do have 870 barrels, shrouded 20 inches for $80.00 apiece for the 2.75. They've got the Magnum for $90, so it's $2.75 and $90 for the 3 inch mag, 2.75 inch, etc. The other thing on the sale, the big thing was the broken shell extractor. Small item, doesn't cost much, you can afford to spend a little money. The chip McCormick mags they had for $9.99 last week are $11.99 this week, so you've been better off buying a couple last week. However, they do have a couple of mag pull. I'll get two of the mag pull generation 2 black polymer mags for $9 apiece. And for you Sega shotgun shooters, they have a limit of $5.23 apiece for the 10 round Sega shotgun magazines. So if you do need some Sega mags for your shotgun, there is a solution. Those are 10 rounders. You don't have to load 10 into a 10 round mag every time, guys. Other than that, little items, knickknacks, extra hammers for your 1911, $10 apiece, not an extra. But if you're building a .45, there you go. If you're looking for a custom hammer, there you go. So, a few things, not a whole lot but definitely stuff that might be useful. Again, I don't know what you're looking for so check out CDNNinvestments.com. It's right on the front page, you don't have to search. Anything else jump in there, BK? Go ahead. No, we're over the top. We'll probably be hearing the music in a minute. Guys, it's going to be a busy weekend. If you could, take the time, drop off a postcard for our friends from Bangladesh, Ireland, Scotland, Bfraw! I don't care where but I tell you what, send a postcard to PBN P.O. Box 194 Dexter, Michigan 48130 again PBN P.O. Box 194 Dexter, Michigan 48130 same with the rest of the states of the United States and the territories. We'd like to see postcards from all points of the compass. Only takes a minute, stop down to the pharmacy. Find yourself one that represents your state or your area, drop it in the mail. PBN PO Box 194, Dexter, Michigan 48130. And we should hear the music. Hint, hint, hint. We are a little past the top of the hour. And for all of our friends also, be careful on the road. We've got, in fact, many of you are listening. Up at the training sites this weekend already, our micro FM started, some of them started Thursday morning because of advanced party activity. Pay attention to your range officers, parking and remember safety personnel because of the possibility of snow, which we should always expect in Michigan. Follow the traffic control instructors on the ground at the training sites or try not to tear up the area. Also, I need somebody to pick up the eight walls that I finished for camp nag a hitch them there guys so we may not do it this weekend but just a heads up since you're listening and somebody at the facility will hear what I just said we've got one two three four five six at least eight maybe I'll have two more done before you guys stop by but we'll need a full truck to pick them up so those are going up north and going on to the training site when the time comes other than that for our friends in the chat room Again, we put links up for most of the sites on the cast bullet. can be found at the old site, that's theintelligencereport.co.com. For all of our friends out there listening, take the time and also check to see what it is that might be useful, again, in the Polymer receivers and the AR-15 build kits, dell-ton.com. Tom or Tom, take your pick. D-E-L-T-O-N dot com. Then go to riflekits.com. $475 for the sail kit with a mag, $480 for all the rest, no matter what length of barrel it is, and that includes a flat top A3. Everything's on board except for the lower receiver, guys. Everything, top to bottom, nut, bolt, pin. buttstock, bolt carrier, charging handle, everything. And you have assembled upper receivers. So if you're looking for a speedy way to put a weapon online, that is a solution. And that's www.del-ton.com. Still got time to get that Air 15 or at least the kit under the Christmas tree. And between that and your pink, your lady pink AR-15, Aries Armor.com, lower receiver, Hello Kitty AR-15 can be in motion even as we speak. Oh, I think we lost Ed here for a little bit, guys. Yeah, I didn't succeed in raising him in the middle of the hour or so. He wandered off and did something. I don't know what. Well, again for our... Maybe his girlfriend ambushed him or something, you know. Well, if you're busy taking care of some other work here, and of course, have the program just before us, as we know, that kind of ties things up for a minute. For everybody out there listening also, again, go to libertytreeradio.4mg.com, then go to our donate page, donate key, and when you get there, we have information on how you can support libertytreeradio.4mg.com to include using PayPal. If you can drop $5 or $10 towards the light bill and the other things needed to be covered, it helps. We are not expecting a fortune, but if everybody pitches in, it makes it a lot easier to deal with other issues. We are going to be advancing a couple of other really cool programs here pretty soon, and hopefully we'll have several videos off of this weekend's FTX. BK, as was asked before by everybody, the prints for the Zusman Ackerman rifles are in motion. We have the B1 already in text form and that's going to be available. You'll be getting a copy of that. A lot of other people will be too. So heads up because I want you to just review it. I've been intensely curious about that for a long time. Not that I have any plans along those lines, but it would be very interesting to see how that's engineered. Since we're mopping up miscellaneous topics, let's put in a plug. Joe runs a program on Tuesdays at 7 p.m. Eastern. It is called Grow Your Own, the Budding Revolution. He discusses permaculture and low-intensity gardening techniques there. The other thing I'll toss out we didn't get to, there's a fairly good profusion of primers available right now at Powder Valley, Inc. That situation is slowly improving. Medium speed rifle powders are still a problem. They do have 4198, which is a good powder for 223. It's not useful rolling up to the 30 caliber stuff. If that takes some stress off of the 2-3 portion of your inventory, then you can shuffle the more versatile powders up the scale towards 30 caliber and so on. At about $148, I think, for an 8 pound jog nowadays that constitutes a reasonable price. They do have a variety of the farmers in the inventory. Bear in mind that the growing price now in farmers can be in the $30-$32 per 1000 range is a good price under current circumstances but they at least do have inventory. Very good. Real quick here before we go any farther, CenterFireSystems.com usually have a weekend special. Not a whole lot jumping off the table there. I think they're saving it up for their 10 days, 7 days, 8 days, 9 days, 12 days of Christmas specials. I don't know. Of course, there's not that much out there by comparison, BK. But they have a Glock 27 40 caliber police trade-in subcompact with night sights. They have 50 of them available. They're $400 apiece. If the picture is any indication, they are very clean. Typically as an undercover gun they don't get beat up much the same way. These are stamped Kentucky State Police with the insignia on the front of the frame. They do have a picture of that to give you an idea what you're looking at. 40 caliber Smith and Wesson Glock in the small undercover frame. And they have 35 left since we mentioned it on the air. Haha! Well, it doesn't mean we moved them, but somebody took interest in them as soon as they found out about them. They've already gone through 15. Not a surprise. God bless the Republic. Death to the New World Order. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. We and our Mouse Jihad are on the march for day and night. Die, Rodentia. Die! Remember, six million inhabitants of the city are wearing it. Why not you? Rodentia. Another way of selling mouse cells.
