One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories. West, ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on Micro Effect Network in the morning. We're also on AM&FM micro stations, CB base stations, Net Technologies East and West to the Mississippi. We're on the Hallmark network from the top of Maine to the bottom of Florida. From the bottom of Florida, across the ark of the Gulf of Mexico, headed to Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Oklahoma, big chunk of Nebraska, whole bunch of Wyoming to include both the third, the fifth, the fifth, friends, oh, the seven sisters over there on the left side of Wyoming, many individual valleys, remote and, I think now somebody could use a car radio, good morning, if you are headed to work or headed to the ranch or other parts of the ranch down there in the valley. The recall state keep doing your job, next one gets up there, next one gets kicked out. That's what you gotta do people. Waving to the left coast where we have the one bright spot on the whole piece of real estate. The of Jefferson, the rest. Occupied territory by the vomitus. Sand the diaper stain of brown. California Soviet Socialist democracy. Peach head for communist Chinese troop boots. We sweep across the plains, leap over the burgeoning banks of the mistand in the smoke. That's the Blue Ridge. I'm Bill Grammer Consortium of retired telecommunications workers. Bring a million petticoat junctions. Do you continue to function when everything else is in Michigan? We have got a little bit of snow. Dusting has come down. It's all night to get real heavy. It's just after Christmas. No way! We have survived Christmas! Well, each Christmas, like everything else in life, every moment of the month is the next day of dooooooo Christmas! Of course, uh, because they try, of course, every holiday. They had a great Christmas. fifth year of open-fidian socialist and soviet socialist occupation of america with a thousand and thirty kicking down taking the twenty thousand and thirteen we have five and the rest of this day we have big see that's the one thing he gets me about this you see here you have the big third we get one of these every century you see but nobody but nobody really really really really really i mean there were some of working for team thirty which is nonsense of course But yeah, Lusia did a little movie, it's a B-movie that was made, and there was some other odds and stuff, but nothing about how 2013 was the year, you know, and that would be where every 13 and the 13 matched up, would be the great, you know, synopsis for new movies, and it was a total failure. By comparison, I mean, all these goofy off-the-wall dates that they were using, well, you know, it's 24, December, and, you know, 12. We'll see what happens, don't worry, we got five days of doom and destruction. After all, we must be dying out there. The corn's all turned brown. The leaves are all dead. There's snow on the ground. It just never happens. I don't remember it happening like this. You don't remember last winter. Oh, as it is, the roll of the punches and it's going to continue to be. It's like you see it right now for the next couple of months. Maybe later. Depending upon whether or not we just keep getting more of that, that's right. We have had a lot of reunions. We're probably buried up to our arse. uh... cute little card uh... slash uh... what what are pleased to read and from your cake pepper farm quickly to find his goal the trenches world report dot com from the trenches world report dot com from the trenches world report dot com all down you can meet little article there it's got a role for the most of the gone pretty soon if you don't go now post-apocalypse christmas strength by the organic pepper analyst ever twenty-five It's a neat little story piece to read. It's done from a after the blast or after the disaster or after whatever the... whatever it is that's key word here is the understanding it's not the end of the world, it's just the change. The real change, not the Barry Sartoro we're gonna screw you like everybody else does because they're all just the same package of shasters run by the same bunch of meat bubs. It's run by the same batch of his own characters behind the scenes, you know, step by step. Anyway, it's to read because, yeah. uh... to go to school don't worry you'll take care of things at home and be a wise to do so that way the cannibals don't catch up with your score the government locked you down to the cannibals would have the opportunity to room at a time think about that you know idiot uh... if we believe the whole thing with a school shooting on the east coast uh... but everybody like fish barrels in a lockdown room where you know needles the same when somebody gets in there's no escape you can shot shop and then served up as the next cannibals do down the cafeteria school why Well first they chopped up and ate all the staff in the office. None of the kids can get out, none of the teachers can get out. Guard the doors to the hallway and you can't get out of those because they had to switch to lock those down. The emergency doors are locked down and of course they have a roving patrol outside and since they've got a nice prison system, well the ApocE clips zombie cannibals, well just plain cannibals, well they got one in a bucket. Wow, all because of the, you know, committee of monkeys sitting down and going, hehehehehehe, how would we control the school system if he was a shooter? Well, we can tell everybody to run. We can't do this, because then we just file all kinds of paperwork because all the kids would be all over the place and besides, they'd be truant from school. Oh yes, it's very important that we keep the kids from leaving school because they'd be truant. Instead, we'll keep them in the room locked down and scrabbling at the door until they die because that way there's less paperwork for us to fill out. So anyway, Very good piece here also of course work well works the same thing you're working for yourself 100% won't think about that one Also learn a skill like we said really really really good idea there Don't forget the cake candles because you can do it well Lisa Kay has got the candles you can actually put those on the shelf and you can be the local General store down the road with really good really good products will trade better people will know where the it's like anything else guys when they used to be trading posts people knew what each trading post was provided understood that it was backed up by guns and not only that but if you wanted to destroy what little civilization had people didn't mess with the trading post because the trading post was protected by everybody else who wanted that little piece of civilization so if you went and messed with the trading post everybody else would kill you oh didn't you ever wonder how did a trading post survive well whoever it was that was living out there in the middle of nowhere, the trading post alone, civilization came to that one spot where nobody else... Oh! I mean, there might be some method to the madness there about leaving people alone. Yeah, amazingly enough, it works that way. After you shoot the brigands and the ruffians, let's say that it went to shutdown for the... And we get rid of Washington, D.C. simply because they're so isolated that nobody can hear from them to see them or do anything, and you don't care. And if they're in their own little world with their power garbage living in tunnels in caves like the Morlocks and you know, Knuckle Dragon around and you are because everybody got hammered the same way and they become irrelevant. There's non-infinity, which they pretty well are right now except that they have their minions out amongst us here. We would die very quickly too. Good people get sick and tired of them the same way. So the thugs that would be the the brigands and thieves, you know, the ones with the black uniforms, would all be dealt with just like the other brigands out there on the lower end trying to feed from below as opposed to the other ones feeding from above. They were trying to join in the middle and consume you so everybody would get tired of that and kill both groups off. And it wouldn't take very long because it wouldn't be any better shape. We're typically in better shape than everything is signed for at their end. Everything, yeah, there's stuff piled up but it's all piled up in some control freaks, you know, central location. And those central locations are far away. Everything that we've been acquiring puts our material support base tactical dispersion level outwards needed with the troops. We have what we need immediately and we have as much of it as we wish. The difference between the control freaks and free America, the idiots on the other side, the nutcases, if they are willing to follow like insects, what's going on over there? Just let them stay over there. It's where you want the insects away from you. You really do. You want the pea-brained you know, hyper-specialized insects over there. Stay away from me over there. Oh, you're wonderful over there. Go to your, you're bathing your power thing. Yeah, there you go over there. You're strong. Yeah, you're, oh, yeah, stay over there. So far over there that you won't even be relevant either. Yeah, you just do that. So anyway, again, neat little piece. Take the time to read it. who thought with regard to well getting past the whatever the jump off date whatever it's supposed to be president twenty second of uh... december two thousand twelve which was supposed to ruin last year's christmas this year's christmas because of the the action washington and there's a holly word coordinating the printed p m in television medium radio with hating christianity and hating christmas with the uh... queers a penny bunch there's something about there that was not accident was orchestrated in place the very material and equipment was and to a magazine you keep the reading of hair blah blah blah blah blah and tempest in a teapot while that was going on what else is taking place and myopic event which completely done in the control practice with the control press owned by a minority of people with very small click perks all owned by a minority a very small click same thing to the pot and with some of those that they manipulate with a lot of duct t-shirts before the duck dynasty debate last night when we were a person I said oh yeah Just before that happened, we had a surge of Duck Dynasty t-shirts that came in from the main warehouse like something was gonna happen and lo and behold, they were ready. And yeah, stuff that wasn't moving at all, all of a sudden was just flying off the shelf. A thunkhead. I think we could've figured out what's going on. So anyway, first of all, again, Merry Day after Christmas. We can be merry today. Have some fun doing that too if you want. Yeah, whatever. Because of that, of course, uh... watch for the sales now food food food and food it's got a Christmas marker on it every passing day food and get cheaper cheaper cheaper cheaper cheaper and that's how it's going to work so you want to remember that food another thing by the way the effect everybody's talking about the incandescent bulbs guys a cheap version of the incandescent bulb that will run in all of your standard fixtures and I have thousands that I got for free Christmas light bulbs. Watch for Christmas light bulbs. Everybody is getting rid of those old gold light strings. Well those are all of those vacuum tubes. Oh did I mention that? Do you remember that? It'd be a real good idea to start boxing every one of those up that you have and putting them away. I mean nesting them guys. Go out and look at, go up to your recycle bins, your recycle points. and check to see whether or not you can find a common standard package that's nice. I'll tell you one that would really work well, the kitty litter buckets, but you're probably using them for something else too. People throw these kitty litter buckets all the time. I usually get four or five at a time from one spot and three or four from the other. Those are perfect, an armored shell with a handle, a carrying box, that you can nest all of those light bulbs in and then put the lid on and if you want to even seal it with a, you know, a tube. And now you've got a light bulb pot. When the time comes you have all kinds of light bulbs ready to roll. It'll be pretty cool as far as, well, other people who are wondering why if they've gone to LED and they've gone to all of these technology lights, slash the prison cell lights, the screw-in fluorescent, the gold. in the standard medium base. When those get zapped and their solid state components don't work, pretty much everybody will be in the dark. However, those old vacuum tube light bulbs, they're going to keep on functioning. So it would be kind of cool if you're going to produce your own power, and even if you're going to do it just with solar cells, to not just have the LED lighting, which I've said many times, diversify. I can run off a Christmas tree strand of LED lights or a Christmas tree strand of standard little twinkle bulbs. There's a whole lot of illumination out of that for a minimal amount of power consumed. The neat thing is I can also isolate and make a whole bunch of individual lamps working the same way. If the LED circuit and the little diode that's in there and the other components go pop after a whatever kind of incident, guess what? It's going to work out just fine if I can switch out from the LED to a oh yeah you can turn right around and plug the rest in going in another direction yeah so I've got the ability to you know deal with what needs to be done so just something to think about there and you might want to check out some of the cool stuff that is readily available the let's see what's the next thing on the list of light bulbs of course everybody's about start but Watch for people tossing them out because people always do. They get rid of boxes here, cases there. I've already been running into that and I keep putting more on the shelf. I think twice about picking them up. But number one is, hey, you're free and I know they work. Pretty straightforward also that you might want to, again, pick up the nester. Don't just get rid of, you know, don't, don't. You got one tube and one light bulb in a box and there's a space for four and it's got all the packaging there. Save it. Because you need to fill those four empties up with uh... three m p's or whatever up with or light bulbs on a problem but again taking the existing packaging systems where you can if somebody's like you know got one level of what they put everything right back in specially the probably uh... paper styrofoam slash or the uh... corrugated paper uh... that's what they made for labels the first place remember that the edison people thought that out quite well for marketing and everybody copied it So it's another thing. Also remember, each one of those light bulbs has something in it, which may be another reason that they're trying to convert this. Tungsten is in every one of those light bulbs. Now, well, it's only a little bit, Mark. Yeah, well that adds up real quick. And tungsten ain't the price of scrap iron. OK. Tungsten is a very specific for a whole bunch of... So tungsten is something that all those fails to light bulbs up, make up a coffee can. pop the globe if you want to and take the filament, make sure it drops into the can and just close it. Just keep, or better still, you don't have to use a can anymore. You can use one of those, any one of these, the favorite for this project because they're not good for everything. The orange juice containers. There's all kinds of sculpted ones that have special pore spouts and they've got really heavy tops and they feel really well. Tungsten, one of those, it's clear. How long does it take, depending on how many light bulbs you have? I've got probably two pumps. of tungsten right now. Copper is an element tungsten really cool in that it can be used for a lot of other projects in the future It's one of those things where again for our Strategic support if we all did this and so the stuff going to the landfill Well their logic is they're gonna cut us off from this But what if we have all the raw materials sitting on the shelf at least sitting on the shelf so to speak in the garage or the back shed or whatever and what you do is you Cross the light bulbs into a container for the time being. One day, every so often a month, you just pop the shell, put the glass over in the anti-personnel bucket for your fragmentation mines. And that glass is horrific when it's used at high velocity along with other stuff. That can go over into your scrap metal. When time comes, you've got a whole bunch of those when you go to the scrap yard that's busted up, bent in, and broke to the point where it can't be used for nothing. If you don't use it for fragmentation in an anti-personnel mine, then you decide you got too many, take it to the scrap yard, and all the rest of the metal when the time comes. And by the way, is that just a regular metal? What are those? This is made of. You might find that there's some other valuable metal there too, for money that you might just be tossing out. They can love itself, isn't it there? Anyway, a couple other things, what are really kind of funny is Well, thank goodness, by the way, that Boeing sold the communist Chinese, the largest aluminum extrusion processor, slash, uh, aircraft, uh, aluminum tube to communist China from, uh, Boeing. Isn't that nice that Boeing provided the technology that'll be used to make the weapons against America? Wow. And that's been years ago, by the way, now, guys, more than a few years and it was rightly done and everybody was supposed to, but we mentioned it, remember that is kind of showing up. So watch and see how things develop with that. that should be rather entertaining to say the least. Also, as I said, sales, almost the bottom of the hour break here coming up in just a minute or two, but before I go there, CDN and investments.com, www.cdnninvestments.com, www.cdnninvestments.com. They've got a bunch of sales. Actually, some of them aren't as much of a sale, it's just magazine mania because the Well, they've got Colt factory mags. They also have Glock mags for you Glocks out there that are factory Glock. Looking for some and SIGs. SIG mags from the factory are just gouging you at the throat. It's like they're ripping up your jugular vein. But there are a couple other cool things out there. A sling stud set, oven around sale, and a few other odds and ends. So if you get a chance, take a look at the C-F-N-A-S-W-W-W dot C-D-N-N investments. C-N-N investments dot C-N-N investments dot C-N-N-N investments dot C-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-N on five dollars shipping sale on any online order five dollars shipping sale so five dollars for shipping they do have a few items that are definitely worth looking at so you might want to see what they have available there and a mix of things mostly they have some a bunch of sling ring components for a lot of you that that's the one item most people like well I was thinking of getting something well they've got on there they've got a super swivel set they've got all kinds of other cool stuff and they have a pink corded ear plug If you're looking for paint, and it's available, remember we're doing that Hello Kitty nonstop kit. That is ASIN, so just something to think about there. Also, and I don't know, very few Christmas sales, if there's any post-Christmas. So I'm not seeing a whole lot jumping out so far, and we've been kind of watching that even yesterday. We're going through the system, the computers. You know, through the computer, we're looking at the websites. Pretty well stand where it is. The bottom of the hour break, we should be hearing the music there in a minute. a beautiful, it feels like a Monday, doesn't it? We had a beautiful holiday, we had like everybody was off, nobody on the road, which is cool, not many people travel, gas prices dropped twice, they dropped just a day or two before Christmas, and then even on Christmas Day, gas prices dropped again. And it still wasn't the heavy, big bunch of cars, nothing like that guys. Down, driving yesterday, nobody in the gas stations, there was normal business barrel, you know, All they had was what limited very small amount of Christmas, vehicle traffic there was and that was it. Prices dropped during the day, actually dropped first thing in the morning by a couple of pennies again and more depending on where you were and that is fascinating to say the least because they got what they wanted. They thought they were going to manipulate the economy and they're going to make us all hurt and by the way we're all going to just keep buying stuff that we haven't been in any way and it's like no we won't. So the oil industry for screwing America I think they could screw this country to jump on the boat and bandwagon with Barry Satoro and the rest of the pigs, you know, the Yodelands. Lo and behold, it didn't quite work the way we thought. Anyway, we should be hearing the music. It is a beautiful mix at the bottom of the hour. You're listening to TheMicroEffect.com. Check out the page. It's changed again if you haven't seen the new webpage. We have a couple of new sponsors up on the page also, so you want to check those guys out. Look at the numbers and the contact points, email them and say thank you for supporting the micro effect. Also, call up and place an order. How's that sound? That helps a little bit too. And again, we have Lisa Kay Candles. Guys, candles, all my goodness and fame based and definitely a very clean, burning, burning candle. Lisa Kay Candles are sponsors so that they can the micro effect the more that happens satisfied with the with the response they'll make it work another thing uh... holiday i've mentioned earlier going to now as of today anything with santa claus on it anything with reindeer on it anything with uh... christmas uh... orientation is mark down you all know this uh... there are a lot of gunky and goody items out there which are fine to diversify a lot a lot of the stuff is still retort pouch pack that's the foil pouches mylar pouches guys and of course canned well we all know how canned goods work but remember that this stuff was all made for the season packaged for the season the good thing is that it was packaged with a very short period of time by comparison and much of the other inventory that's at the primary warehouses wasn't sitting in the warehouse waiting for Christmas came in from the production site for Christmas especially critical and we're looking at gee how we're looking at this one puts it on the shelf apparently those Christmas colors might be a real good choice because you can get the same product that you would be getting otherwise maybe with a variation some flavor like pumpkin a sore cinnamon twist or peppermint that's fine better what time of year it is also again the more you diversify your inventory if you're looking at number one personal usage Or if you have the wherewithal and you're building up way beyond, which is a really good idea, you're building up beyond and you actually have enough trade items because a little bit of a general future. By the way, I highly recommend you pick up like, you know, candy containers and the old dispensers, all kinds of these things at yard sales and resale shops for nothing. If you're thinking about doing a little general store, all the cool accoutrements that are traditional to, you know, being able to access are available, at least we're creating a limited kind of how far along we are, remember, trade stores. We know they had markets just like Macy's or anybody else. Eventually the idea is to entice people, especially if that hasn't been moving, well you entice them, bring the product for people to buy it. It works under any culture situation, guys. You want mow ink, shmank, shells, because mow ink, shmank, shells are so much specialer than that other guys. That and mow ink, shmank, shells haven't been selling, so you put mow ink, shmank, shells up front. are much better for scraping those hides. Unka, wonka, unka, who? It hasn't changed throughout history, the same way throughout time, in memorial where people have been in commerce with each other. There were cigarettes, there were clay pipes. Tobacco, when it was marketed. The throwaway cigarette, the throwaway container of the day were actually pre-cast little clay pipes. The bowler pipes can't trade you, all the kinds you see in all those century paintings. they were little long stem pipes, they were clay and they were cast and they were filled with, pre-filled with tobacco. And they were sold that way, like cigarettes. Did you know that? Oh, cigarettes are a new idea, nothing like that. Nah, sorry kids. And of course they had regular pipes. Everybody, people carved out their own pipes and then they bought their own tobacco, their own tobacco, whatever. But people might be in a hurry, didn't want to carry their pipe with them, craved a little bit of nicotine. And so they could buy one of these little clay pipes. It was a throwaway. Now it wasn't so poorly done that you couldn't reuse it. But, and I'm sure people saved up or other people watched for people dropping them because they dropped them like cigarette butts guys. But the idea was that you sucked on some tobacco while you're on short travel or maybe you're out and it was your lunch break thing. You know, like mid-day lunch and you were eating and yeah, you know, I think I'm gonna buy one of those little pipes from that guy over there, you know, Jordan. You know, Zinn Verhalen. Yeah, you know, Van Ziereuvens or whoever the store is over there, the Dutch store. You see, we started doing this in the lowlands. In the Navy, I picked a trade item, but also in the United States. If you pay attention to a lot of the paintings, you'll see things depicted that kind of give you a taste for what life was really like. And a lot of the everyday items of their day Hollywood depicts them making it sound like all the stuff we're doing is totally unique and like nobody's ever done before blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Okay. Now, items to include cake frosting, cake mixes, honey mixes, all of these cake and brownie mixes that are good for, you know, years on the shelf, especially in retort packaging. Remember that you cycle, date and cycle accordingly. You're just gonna put it in your inventory to inventory sheets. We have tonnage in food storage, literally tonnage that we've had in storage since 1993. 1991, actually. Our 80s storage stuff has pretty well been used up except for some of the dry goods. They're nitrogen packed and we nitrogen pack them ourselves. And I did a test run on one package and I didn't want to touch the rest because the cans are immaculate. The number 10 cans, we have a number 10 canner we pack on our own. Dry goods, well, nitrogen, CO2, or the disacant packs, we've used all of those. And also bay leaves, I should point this out. All else fails, guys, one bay leaf in the bottom of the container and one bay leaf or a couple of bay leaves at the top. You put a couple on the bottom, a couple on the top. On a five gallon pail or number 10 can, you just put one. One on the bottom, then put more material in, one at the top. This can be anything from beans to peas, dried peas, whatever it is you're gonna do. Rice, bay leaves will take care the weevils and slash quitters that are naturally in all the grains you eat. Oh, I just ruined your food, didn't I? Oh, there's not my food. You've probably never worked in an elevator, have you? And you don't want to know what travels through the grain elevator once in a while. Oh, look, there's a little mouse. Oh, that's not a mouse. He's the size of two of your hands. Oh, and he's leaving special little brown gifts in the process. Do you think that with elevators the size that they are that you're able to keep it? And it's in the dock that that things don't happen not a lot try to keep the vermin down and there are ways that they do that but uh... things happen plus by the time it's processed you know and then processed again well it's usually whatever way from its first step uh... in you know is in existence on this planet and it's going back towards the volume of dust grade but they're also little creatures and weevils and stuff with no term is typically weevil for any of the different types of mug critters that end up in food they just do guys uh... For your radiation, that was one of the proposals for your radiation of food years ago was that, well, it would cut down on the weevils. Well, if you know what you're doing in storage, you can eliminate the weevil issue to begin with. One of the best examples is something I just mentioned earlier, rice. Does everybody understand that rice is coated? When you buy rice, there are two ways that the rice that you buy is coated in talcum powder, or it's coated with other rice meal dust. Now, that meal dust didn't just happen because it was handled. what they wanted to take a percentage of the rights they grind it to a fine powder like you with a public in a formal type machine they then coke by dusting all the right when it's being cycled they dot all the right with an outer very fine very it's so fine you don't even you've well you can notice it when you handle rights which are hands of the right you move it around you come back out you got like uh... your hands feel like not filming but they do feel dusty but they're It's soft, it's really, really fine. That is intentional. The talcum powder is ground to the to the nth degree. The rice is ground to the nth degree. And they powder this. Now what this does, the, now the tal works as diatomaceous earth. What it does is critters get the stuff under their scale, kills them that way. Plus they can't eat it, they don't want to touch the rice, they leave it alone. We're talking parasites that are either, not parasites, but weevils that are in the rice already, guys. This isn't something where You know, it was introduced from somewhere else. It doesn't work that way. But there are other critters that will come in and try to eat the rice. So this works with all the other problems that might occur. Rice variation is a solution cheaper than the talc for companies that, of course, like in Asia, typically use this. The rice dust is to offer something to the little parasite-weevil so that it doesn't bother the rice. Oh, that's how that works. So that's why it's highly recommended that you wash off the rice before you put it into the rice cooker. before you boil it, you want to put it in the pot, you'll measure it out, put it in a container, wash it off, mix it up a little bit. You'll notice there's a film that collects on it. That's what we're talking about. That's the stuff. Now it doesn't mean you won't get rid of all of it no matter what, but you can take a certain percentage of it away. And this will, of course, change the flavor of the rice too, strangely enough. You might notice this. it'll be cleaner soldiers something is an idea if you can use a a window screen type strainer but obviously a calendar a just holy calendar you lose most reasonable so for think ahead screen type a real screen door screen type calendar will be fine for processing or a student what stuff do they need to watch as much as you want and turn around dump it into the pan correct mix and congratulations you got right cookers work the same way as far as again you have the right have to have a right percentage of right or race for two water we won uh... to one but i'd like to do a little less about how one one per one uh... handful scoop or pound of rice should take or cup of rice to perhaps a water well not get down a little below that you want your race will pay see the way that typically is done in asia sticks better who now that's right anyway all at sea The nice thing about rice cookers, you can leave the rice in there for a day or two and it just keeps warming up as needed and you've got rice and everybody's happy. Just something about, especially the better cookers because they're timed too guys. So, other things off of the Christmas shelf. Well, there's all kinds of packaging too, needless to say paper. Not exactly a critical survival item but it's going to be cheap now. That way you don't have to worry about buying it next year. Put it in the, you know, in whatever container. All kinds of different rubber made stuff out there where you can, you can from, you know, Distress our stores or other shops. Christmas, all the green and red stuff is not going to be popular in all those containers they bought. Mark them down. Very quickly they will go because people are really looking for this. Remember, there's all kinds of storage containers that are going to be available right now, usually with the rubber lid type. And the Christmasy colors. Well, Christmasy colors are blue and clear, green and clear. Guess what? So that will give you something to put all that food in you're buying too if you're looking for a storage or court system. Don't go too big, go with a medium or smaller container. Remember weight. What's the weight of a bag of rice that you're buying? One pound, two pounds, three pounds. How many bags of rice will fit in the tote? Some quick math. If you have three pound bags of rice and 25 bags will fit in there, three times 25 gets you to what weight again? Oh, wait a minute, three pounds times 25 is 75 pounds. Can you lug 75 pounds around all day? Or can you easily pick it up? So part of your logistics support system is to palletize your equipment. Now you can still use it for bulk storage on site if you're going to leave it there and issue out from the... But consider that you want something that will keep your combat weight for logistical containers at about from 22 to 40 pounds. 20 pounds to 22 pounds is optimal because most little kids or munchkins can handle at least rolling around or picking up and carrying for a short distance a 20 pound package. so everybody can help to move things when you're looking at logistics if you have to be the ao the operation palletizing equipment so everybody can participate is a really good idea because while somebody might be fighting other people can be loading all that's right in other words not sitting there cowering or gnashing of peter in your hair busy on task and the fighters are doing their part the defenders while the people who are moving the food are doing their part while everybody else is dealing with the people who might be wanting to pillage the village. Also, powdered mixes and juices, powdered drinks and stuff. Watch for stuff like that. Again, those are things that go in your backpack. This time of year, you can put a prep pack together to be stuffed to the gills. And yes, you would have pumpkin flavored and peppermint flavored and ginger flavored goodies all over the place. You'd have special flavored stuff. you can still mix in all the stuff from the dollar store or whatever else you're gonna grab and you would actually be eating like a king in the field. It sure as hell would be more than a 72 hour kit. The only reason something's a 72 hour kit is because you've under planned. A 72 hour kit is what we call it, but in reality, for the most part, it's a one week kit if you do it right. And there's no reason for it not to be. So, this take advantage of it. The carbohydrate supplements, everybody goes, what? The carbohydrate supplements that are readily available that are Christmasy, you know, candies. In the military and civil defense they call those Carbohydrates supplement. Model 1 Mark II Type III asterisk with assembly. Well, typically we're talking hard candy. Now hard candy has not become as popular because everybody's used to gummy bear, you know, satisfaction, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, of one flavor of hard candy. They look like big medicine cans or foot powder cans. Only they were 44 pounds, about the size of, well, a couple of five gallon buckets. Inside there could be lime drops, cherry drops, lemon drops, orange drops, and these were carbohydrate supplements, you know, hard candy. Now, why would they... Well, it was shelf-stable and a pick-me-up. In other words, something for someone. Hey, here's something special. And my goodness, they didn't spare on the flavoring. Oh, man, the lime ones were fantastic. And if I even think about it, I wish I could find them. Another can of those. The cherry flavor, the lime flavor, the lemon, you could smell all the way across the room with the lemon oil. Oh, again, the hard Christmas candies. I have for any period of time, as far as the sale goes. take advantage and grab those. Do a mix. If you only have so much money and there's a bunch of different types of bags there, do a mix. That's part of the change up. But also put it out of sight out of mind. You can also fill up the candy jars, we do. You've got goodies and munchies and can actually enjoy themselves a little bit, not too there. But a percentage should put on the shelf and stuck away out of sight out of mind. One of the things to do is take a five gallon pail. Remember, you can get five gallon pails from food service places all over the place. right now especially with the christmas season they're supposed to be an update not very much right now but everybody's complaining but uh... everybody got more stuff that they're moving when you go and get pie filling uh... off by going pales or food service type you know you can get a basically wash them out there for just take them out of the issues usually all inside the office that's really good but anyway you're going to clean those out include a very jolly and that you've got a container will take and make that a carbohydrate supplement bucket. But with our candies, they're all in bags. Don't take them out of those bags. No, no, no, no, no. Leave them in the bags. And if you want to, even go get some of the big Ziploc freezer bags. So the cheapest ones, dollar store, don't get anything expensive. Put a couple of bags, or as many bags as will fit in one of those, depending on the size of your candy bag. And don't do it so that it's bulging so it's extreme and it pops the seal, the zip seal. Do it so there just a little space in there so that it's comfortable to seal the zip. Then put that in your five gallon pail. Fill another one, put that in your five gallon pail. Nest them, do one layer. Now here's a little trick that most people don't do. Go get some cardboard and do a five gallon pail. Okay, put that on top of your first layer and do it again. Now you can even do a standoff in the bottom of the bucket. Everybody goes, why would you do that, Mark? It's going to be sealed. Well, the advantage is this works as a cushion. And it also absorbs material. If something does get inside, it's one of those little trick there. It keeps things away from what you're trying to protect. More than anything, it's transport cushioning. Because you're going to pick that pale up. It can beat up and bounce is not your first choice of things to see happen with regard to your technology, OK? especially your food storage items. So you put the cardboard in the first nest, your bags within bags, put the cardboard down, do another layer of bags within bags, repeat until you're out of space. Now if it looks like you've got enough room for some of those laid sideways, put a couple of them in there, put another piece of cardboard, put that down, and then on each of the, on the very top cap, write down on the inside what that is, what's inside. Hard candy by item and how many. Okay, then, snap your lid on, clunk, clunk, clunk, clunk, clunk, clunk, and take a label, put it on the roof of the five gallon pail. Something that's easy to read, block printed letters. Do not write, do not use cursive. Block printed letters. What it is, how many there are. Take two more labels and put them on the side of the five gallon pail. And again, what it is and how many of them there are. Now you put it on two sides of the pail because it's a routed service, although I've got three five gallon They're filling buckets right next to me right now that I just washed them out here this last weekend. Those are going to be probably rice cans, rice buckets. That's what we traditionally use a lot of those for, rice, three sides. Now there's a reason for this. If I'm moving stuff around, if I have to move anything to figure out what it is, that's a waste of my time. So at the very least, a simple label on all four side surfaces of a square container means that no matter how I set it down or no matter how somebody else sets it down, they won't be as careful as I am. Say I got helpers. They're just going to lay it past the way they have to. If you have it marked on all four sides, I don't have to waste the time to move something, to move it around, to figure out where the label is. Packaging, processing in advance, time and lives with ammunition, munitions, magazines, and things of that nature. our combat packaging is descriptive from all sides so that i don't have to hesitate and there's no confusion so just something about their now and before we go to the top of the hour break and we're going to go over a lot of time here w w w dot amo dot com w w w dot amoman dot com w w w dot amoman dot com and i hope that uh... doctors and i will find out they got a quantity of eight millimeter Mauser in it and it's gone hold on your second let's double check this I kind of figured it wouldn't take them but the rest of Christmas I think they probably sold out but just before today at Christmas okay if they get it in again they had some Romanian eight millimeter ammunition in the Hamptons it is it's a standard German configured World War two load but with 150 grain bullet instead of a 200 grain bullet. If they get in again, I'm going to call them today or tomorrow and I'm going to find out so much tomorrow and give you an answer for Cinco DeAmo Day. But as soon as somebody found out where that stuff was, they would get a scarf. Again, it was the best priced 8mm ammunition in the country in hamtins and in stripper clips. especially critical for combat operations guys you take a stripper clip put in the guide up there five rounds loaded that fast I'll give you a heads up on that it's already gone apparently a lot of you if you were listening maybe people had to wait till they had enough money to do it and that happens the end of the year plus you know again the last weekend payday ammo man dot com they do have some other things in inventory the other thing I'm looking for is German plastic training ammunition and again a couple of the companies that we were picking that stuff up from have already sold out because everybody's finding out that is the cheapest 308 ammunition on the market. Plastic training ammo you'll see in the blue case, blue milk jug colored case.
