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. Invist the land of the free, the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money is spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan's number. You've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. and your daughters visit doctors so their children will be. 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'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? Most 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, get 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 trampled each God given right we only watch and tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Is this still the land of the free good ladies and gentlemen, this is the Evening intelligence report. I'm Mark Kornke and butter knife One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories west, southwest, east, and... Well, ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on... LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com. We're on AM&FM microstations, CB base stations, and UltraNet technologies east and west of the Mississippi along with Alaska. We're on the homework network on the Eastern Seaboard from the top of Maine to the bottom of Florida, from the bottom of Florida, across the art of the Gulf of Mexico. I live in Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Oklahoma, big chunk of Nebraska, a whole bunch of Wyoming to include both 3rd and 5th bit. And our friends in the Recall State of Colorado, again, making a list, checking it twice. Boulder and Denver we know who is very naughty. Ain't none of them nice. We're going to be going for them later. Anyway, the left coast where we have our friends over there in the great state of Jefferson, along with the other areas occupied. Keep up the good work. Don't slow down. We're busy, busy, busy, as they say. For everybody out there, we turn back to the sweet crock. Please leap over the burgeoning banks of the Mississippi and land on the Smokies slash the Blue Ridge. For the restaurant crews, grandma teams, okay teams. And the mob build, grandma consortium of retired telecommunications workers. Bring us the Golden Spike. Many hands make for light work a million. Petticoat Junction operators. The ability to continue to function when everything else is offline. Well, Tell you what, BK, it's pretty nice out here. It's a classic winter day here in Michigan. What's it like in your neck of the woods and what is this special day today, sir? It is February 14, 2014. It is Friday evening. It is the last day of the day and of the week for the intelligence report. That makes this quarter-master's corner. We've actually started to get some little hints of maybe winter is breaking a bit. We got a whole day that was above freezing, puddles and mud and all this good slime all over the place. I checked the thermometer a few minutes ago and it goes back. So, oh well. At least it's a hint of things to come, so we're slowly getting a little bit better and starting to think about the seed catalogs and all this kind of good stuff. It'll be a while before I have to get out there and slog around in the mud. Some of the garden things didn't quite complete before the cold weather came in last fall. And so I have some stuff to do before I can really get going. But we're getting close enough, at least we can anticipate that and see that coming. So we are moving through the seasonal cycle and there are hints of thawing coming up. That's happy news. And again, only 36 days. officially until spring so guys not that far away just keep chopping wood if you start to run out like we are we're not running out we have to put some more stuff we got sitting there but for everybody out there again a reminder stick to it stay focused don't give up winter's gonna disappear and then you'll be up to your eyeballs in mud oh did I say that yes I did So again, BK, it is Quartermaster Friday for everybody out there listening. A couple reminders. KeepShooting.com www.keepshooting.com www.keepshooting.com. Take the time. Go back to keepshooting.com, then go to the real deals, the super deals section they have there. When you get to the super deals section, then you'll notice that at the second line down, There is a seven double pocket grenade pouch set with a German combat belt for a whopping five dollars. Now I've already seen them. They are in excellent condition. If you're looking for molly gear or you're looking for spare gear for your woodland kits, these are a buy. We knew they were anyway, but I got a chance to see them. They're great. The guys that picked them up are very happy with them. So again, whoever gets there first gets the best price. If they run off, they run off. Whoa! We've got somebody heading through the Death Star and lots of background noise there. Somebody's gonna... Somebody's gonna mute themselves. I know they are. Yeah, it wasn't me. Yeah, no, it's okay. I was just waiting for Red 3 standing by. Red 6, sides are by. Oh, look at the sides of that thing. Anyway, it is a beautiful Friday by the way, but again, KeepShooting.com, www.KeepShooting.com. Now yesterday on the air I mentioned that they had the lower internals for the AR-15, but we mentioned it on the air because they are the cheapest in the country at about $37 a set. Well, they sold out after we called it, they put that up on the air, so there aren't any left of those for the moment, but they are keeping them on standby, so they're probably going to restock. But everything that they had on the shelf, this is the third time they've sold out of that item. It's in the specials section, you have to go to this specials section to find it. But take the time, even though it's not there now, spot check every once in a while, look to see if it shows up again guys. It's not an if, it's just a when. So again, definitely worthwhile. If you can't manage the whole thing, then let's prioritize a little bit. I would say go for the parts kits that are the peripheral bits and of course the consumables the ammunition magazines are important. When the time comes there will be plenty of M4s dropped on the ground. Those things will have perfectly good uppers and lowers and bolt carriers. You will probably want to swap out everything, the barrel and all forward and the stock and all backwards, but the uppers, lowers and bolt carriers will be good. There's a thought. You might want to prioritize on your parts kits and secondary. so that you can take a dropped M4 and strip off the junk, the stubby barrel and the silly little collapsible stock and all that kind of crud and turn it into a natural, real usable rifle. Exactly. Again, remember bolt carriers too because there are some reasonably priced bolt carriers. That's going to be a shortage item. It always is when the next wave hits and it's already kind of there. It's just been non-stop, guys. The next wave when it comes in, take the time and pick up what you can so you've got them on the shelf and then you've got a backup inventory when the time comes for those parts that will be missing, those parts that just seem to disappear. Where are they going? That kind of brings to mind differences in the supply and logistics between large organizations that are centralized and large organizations that are decentralized. One of the things the bad guys is doing, I think, are clamping down on some of the consumables. We know that. But their thinking is biased by a large organization mentality and mindset. They have the notion that if you're running a quarter million man operation, you do want a lot of standardization so that you can exchange. Here's a shipment of ammo. Ammo will work in rifles. You've got rifles. Here's ammo. We'll match them together, all of those work. You like standardization. If we are operating decentralized, we don't need as much of that. If you have a 243 boat banger and a few hundred rounds to feed that, that's a logistical nightmare from the point of view of a centralized supply outfit. They don't want to stock 223 and 308 and 243 and 270 and 22, 250 and on and on and on and on down the list. They have horrible problems even with simple stuff. They want to standardize everything but you don't have to. If you can feed your rifle and the guy down the street can feed his rifle and they are wildly different calibers, that's okay. You have different requirements than they do and what's more, they don't particularly want to be involved in the 12 gauge unless that's specialty rounds for door breaching and so on and so forth. But you can equip your auxiliaries with 4 tens and 20 gauges and 12 gauges and so on. You basically have a lot more attention and manpower and mind power per rifle than they do. They have a few bureaucrats and a great deal of material. We have a lot of people and a little bit of material each. So, it is much easier for you to make sure that the person that's got a Mossberg 12 gauge has 30 rounds of 12 gauge on their person and somebody else with an old Remington 20 gauge has 30 rounds of 20 gauge on their person and so on. Whereas a large organization would have a horrible problem trying to take care of all of that stuff moving all the material around matching units. and so on. So our requirements are different from theirs and we are more flexible than they are. If you have an AUT 6 and a 2.4.3 and a 3.08 available, then whatever ammunition you have, you can drag out the rifle that matches that and you are functional. Whereas they have a heck of a time trying to deal with that sort of stuff. So be aware that you do not have to emulate their supply structure in that fashion. Whatever you have available, support and stock that and you may not have to have 8,000 rounds of ammunition for one bogey. That's not the mission of the bogey action, that sort of stuff. So just adjust your thinking towards a more flexible approach because They will unconsciously be acting against us as if we operated the same way they operate because they are steeped in a particular mindset and approach. That can present their thinking to our benefit. I didn't want to interrupt, but the big thing here again is we want to make sure everything you've got on schedule gets up because that's the one thing we do is we ran out of time last Friday. So jump right in there, please. Go ahead. Yeah, we're always running out of time. Okay, we have a few items that I want to remind people of. Most of these you have heard before. Gold Mine Electronics continues to have this electrical tape that Mark has called out in the past. When this stuff first appeared, They were trying to get I think $2 or $3 a roll for that and I guess that people just kind of snickered a little bit and said I don't think so because they still got an official $3 a roll for it. But this is 3 quarter inch cloth electrical tape, 100 foot roll and they are offering it on sale at the moment for $0.99 a roll. When they first came out with it they wanted $3 a roll and then I saw Well if you buy 100 rolls, we'll offer it to you at $1.25 a roll. It's a bargain. You should buy lots of 100 rolls of this stuff from us and I think maybe not too many people took them up on that. It's a good price but how many people want to allocate $1.25 for one single item like that? So now they are offering this stuff at $0.99 a roll, quantity one. So, that's a better offering. It is not the be all and end all tape. There is no such thing. But this is useful stuff and they are offering for the time being until the 19th or when sold out of course. They say that but that always goes without saying with any of these surplus outfits. But 3.25 inch cloth back tape for 99 cents, 100 foot roll. That roll is not going to last you forever and a day but you know it's a useful amount. 4.99 cents is a good offer. The other thing that they have here that I would call people's attention to is for a five box mark all the way down from six dollars, big sale. They do have a little 10 watt LED. This is one of the rectangular flat plate styles. Some of these operated strange voltages and you have to deal with their work to provide power supplies for them. This one is designed to work at 9 to 12 volts which means that you probably want to use a heavy power regulator chip to make sure that it doesn't get 13 to 14 volts which a lot of automotive supplies do provide. It might survive that, it might not. You can't tell from the specs. However, this is a little 10 watt LED. These things are about half an inch or less square active area and the overall thing is an inch or inch and a quarter square. You will want to attach these to some sort of heat sink. An old Pentium fan CPU heat sink would be adequate because that's only 10 watts, but the modern CPUs can dissipate upwards close to 100 watts and they have much larger bulkier fans, but the little 10 watt device is not that stressful. I have fitted with similar devices, not this particular one, but others and manner, those things bright. The thing that you think of when you slowly dial them up, attached to a bench supply of course, if you're tinkering the way I do, is This reminds you of the old projector lamps. They are that bright. You only remember those filament projector lamps. They ended to run for 10 hours or something along those lines. You were always changing them out back in the day. You had to have a few with you, anything you were going to use the projector. These are much, much more solid and long lasting, but you do have to heat sink them. That being said, 10 watts will give you a poop load of light. Arrange one of these so it's changed on the ceiling and you have achieved good area illumination more effectively than probably a 100 watt incandescent bulb. Certainly they feel that way. I can think of many specialty uses for this sort of stuff. I've mentioned before that if you are preparing a field for conflict, especially a domestic household area with the intention of being able to receive hostile visitors and perhaps even survive the encounter, one of the things you might want to do is arrange lighting so that hostiles coming in through the doors and windows and so on are looking into an intense amount of light and not able to aim very well. And if you distributed a number of these around in different places so that no one of them being damaged would stop that. than the ability to swamp an area with incredibly intense illumination from multiple sources I think would be a tremendous advantage. A tipping of the playing field as it were in favor of the defenders. So this or similar devices can be had from deal extreme as well at not much different cost. But that also is available at the moment from this vendor and they are available every day from deal extreme in various power ratings and so on. So those two items I will call out right now from Goldmine. That's goldmine-elec.com. If you actually go there, they will redirect you to a slightly longer URL but goldmine-elec.com is adequate and they will come up first thing on your page. Comments? One of the things, the friction tape especially guys should be in your toolbox. There are too many places where there are applications for that especially where you're doing quick wraps on particular fixtures that may have Other padding, a lot of times you have something that's supposed to have insulation or padding around it. I know electrical tape works well too, but friction tape as an insulator, as a bonding system, it's stretchable, applies, waterproof, pretty well works where it's intended to and stays and sticks, doesn't disappear on you. Once it's in place and it bonds, it settles and bonds. It's also a bugger to get a part if it's a better product, and this looks to be the better tape. So I would highly recommend you pick it up. In fact, you'll typically have to kind of like stale old electrical tape. You know, it gets really old, it falls apart. But in the middle age, you have to virtually cut it off. And typically you'll cut perpendicular and you have to cut the whole sleeve off. Same is true with friction tape. A little denser offers a little more padding. A lot of guys like to use friction tape for actually beefing up handles or something that needs to be gripped. and they'll actually layer it, not just one layer but they'll actually wrap and layer. Multiple to build it up and beef it up a little heavier so it fills the hand better when you're wrenching on something, improvised handlebar, covers, etc. So, does someone think about there for the price you can't beat it when they said it was more expensive, you know they describe how much it costs. Well, if you go to Grainger's and you go and buy this stuff in volume new, You're not going to buy the amount that are available, quantity of rolls that are available for the price that are on sale here. You're not even going to buy it. Right. In all fairness, this stuff is undoubtedly old stock and it does not last forever so this may not be quite as sticky and quite as flexible and so on as brand new but it's probably still well within its usable range. More than several, some I'll put in an emergency kit. And again, the idea is you can have more of it so you can have it in different locations and places when you have multiple roles. Otherwise, you'd have a role and you'd be having to figure out where it is and share it. So sometimes sharing is OK. We can do the sharing thing, but how about if we have a lot more roles to share? We'll use them up. Don't worry, not a matter of just a matter of when or at the very least look at it as part of the toolbox insurance policy. For as long as it's good, it's good. Hey, you were going to have it there and you needed it on standby anyway, you've got it. So that makes it worthwhile. The other thing too is remember, there's a lot of other things they do have on site. So if you're one of those micro FM rebroadcasters and you've got things that are on your shopping list, go through the whole page because there's all kinds of cool stuff you can either improvise, adapt, or overcome with. The LED lighting is probably the best example for guys putting rat rigs together. You want illumination, you need to be able to lighten things up. You're also looking for something that might use less power. Well, there's your solution guys. And there's some really nice LED stuff out there, but also the wiring harnesses, mechanical fixtures. They've got some grab bags of stuff. Take a look at the grab bags and bulk stuff. You never know what you're going to see there. buttons, widgets, pins, cotter keys, it can be anything. And all of that stuff are nice things to have in the utility kit, especially if you're a maintenance person working in the field with vehicles or with radio equipment. Either way, you never know what's going to get broken. And if you've got the parts there to work with and make something else happen, you can. But you've got to have it first. Go ahead, BK, jump in there. Okay, another item that we've mentioned before, I am frankly astonished that these did not sell out instantly, that I'm sure they've been selling. But BG Micro, that's bravogolfmicro.com, continues to have these CR123A batteries. These are lithium primary batteries, meaning you use them once and then they are expended. These are the batteries that are used by a great deal of night vision equipment, some radios, some cameras, this sort of stuff. The battery is new so anywhere from $3 to $7 a piece, if you bought them at radio stuff, you'd probably pay $10 a piece for the things. We probably won't have access to Radio Shack very long. There's some muttering to the effect that the whole chain may collapse soon. I won't cry too many tears if that happens. These guys are offering the CR123A batteries at 99 cents a piece for small quantities and 75 cents a piece for 10 or more. These are dated 2020, which means that there's another six years to run on the official shelf life. Lithium batteries, these lithium batteries are expected to last 10 years on the shelf. That's one of the characteristics of them. So, these obviously are four years past the original intention of a cell date and as such were surplused out. They are Panasonic, it's a well made name brand and all that kind of good stuff. But six years shelf life nominally is considered very little compared to the brand fresh ten years that people expect which is why these guys got surplus. Well, six years on the shelf. is still six years and you can be sure that they will work to a degree after that as well. It's just that they start sliding down the curve. At 75 cents a piece, that is just dirt cheap and anybody that has or might support night vision or some of these radios or some of these electronic cameras etc. really ought to just pick up 20 or 30 or 50 of these guys. They are very useful and six years on the shelf is a long time. I really doubt that we'll be here talking on the radio in the same fashion six years down the road from now. They also have some other interesting things. The 18650 battery is a bit of an oddball by most people's standards. That is a little bit shorter and a little bit stubbier than a AA. It is a 3.4 or 3.7 volt battery depending on how the thing is constructed. They have some of these in a 10 pack with charger bundled up for $20. That is a dirt chute bargain. The e-cig people have jumped on them and used those in some of their so-called mods. There are probably other devices that do use them. They certainly didn't invent these things for the e-cig folk. It is a less common battery. Whether you need those or not is an individual issue, but if you do need those, 10 of these and a charger for $20 is dirt cheap. Those are Sanyos, they say, and I got some of those and they're not marked, so maybe they're made by Sanyo and plain labeled. I don't know what the case is, but 20 bucks for 10 of these plus a charger. 20 bucks for 10 of these would be a dirt cheap bargain. Throw in the charger and you are covered. They do not use the same charger as you will have on hand for other things, so it's important that you have a charger that's suitable. 17 of these in stock means that you cannot sit on this endlessly and expect to necessarily have them. We sold out a few weeks ago. They got another batch, obviously, the 18650s. are a very neat option. And last but not least, they have some AA nickel metal hydrides. 2000 milliamp hours, which means they're very good capacity. And these are at 259 a piece. Once again, you will need a charger suitable for nickel metal hydrides. But those are the AA form factor. Whether that's suitable for a particular device or not is a judgment call. You could fit these physically into a double A holder but you're dealing with a different voltage so you would want to use half as many as alkaline batteries. If you had something designed for an alkaline battery, you would have to decide whether or not the higher voltage of these batteries would still be suitable for your device or whether it would be destructive. But double A nickel metal hydrides, 2,000 milliamp hours. to the end. Here's one item from them that I mentioned on air at least a year ago. They had bushels of these at one point. They are almost out. They have a bag of 1,000 of the PN22A transistors. Now, the 2222 is one of the jelly bean parts. It's a standard bipolar transistor. It's one of these little guys. It's good for about 100 milliamps. They're used in a bazillion designs. The 39 series is a little bit lighter, it's sort of general purpose, and the 2222s are a little bit beefier and also a general purpose. They're used in a lot of stuff that may be used in radios and so on. These are lead cut and formed transistors obviously came out of surplus stock of some manufacturer that had them queued up, planned to insert them in some device and had leftovers. So they are offering a thousand of these guys for $13.34, that's 1.3 cents a piece. Now if you're going to use these, They are not full length leads and they are not marked standard. They've got house numbering on them so you just have to keep your labeling and make sure that you realize that these are 22-22s and you will take your little needle nose and you'll probably pinch the leads and straighten them out again and insert them into your design. But at 1.3 cents a piece, this gives you a large quantity of a jelly bean part. only three of these guys left. So if you heard us before and you didn't move on it, this is about the end of them. The normal price for these 22202s is something in the five to eight cents a piece range. This is 1.3 cents. 13 bucks will get you a baggie about the size of your fist. of these transistors and these are a stock item. You can use them for a million little things. These are hefty enough to pull a coil on most relays. For instance, they will drive several of the standard LEDs. The 20 milliamp guys usually pull two or three of those if you want. They will do a lot of different things. So 2222 is one of those classic devices that are used in a million designs and can be used for many, many things. It might, for instance, be suitable for the little jewelry thief circuit we have spoken of. It's not the transistor that was called out and I don't guarantee that it will work properly the way the thing is designed, but it may very well work. If so, then you've got a 1.3 cent component for that assembly. Bravo Golf Micro, now these are hard to find. The part number is TRN 1001, that is Tango Romeo November 1001. If your search function is a little bit flaky, if you put in 2222, I don't think you'll get a hit. If you put in PN2222, you'll get the single unit price on factory standards with the long leads. If you put in PN2222A, you may get a hit. But if you look for the part number TRM, that is Tango Romeo November, and We've brought this up before. You've got so many pieces of equipment. In fact, since we talked about that, even a lot of these little handheld radios are using that battery now. If you look, you'll find there are four different size format batteries. There's battery packs and independent fixtures. Some of those are total orphans. That's the only thing we need to warn everybody about. If you're going to buy something like that, buy spares. If you're using that battery for lasers, flashlights, radios and night vision. I would say right there is four batteries if they only used one each and most of them use more than one. So take the time to pick these up while they're so stupid cheap it's ridiculous. And again the other spare parts pieces and assemblies especially if you're doing any of the micro or repair work or if you're the RO repairman for your unit building up brand new components on the shelf spares is a good idea we're going to be fixing things and the other the other issue is just there's no industrial surplus beyond what you're finding like this with the central locations uh... our areas not completely cleared out of industry but what's left they'll roll those up and send them back to china or roll them over to china when the time comes we won't see the stuff left behind like we did with the two thousand and eight wave where we had whole factories loaded with stuff here they just throughout the back door we carried away So spare parts, pieces and assemblies, see if it makes sense. And especially the batteries. The batteries make sense no matter what. And I would say again, fours, actually almost 10 per wouldn't be a bad idea anyway because you are going to use them. Not a maybe, not a kind of, not a sort of. You are going to use them. Especially if you're operating 24-7 in the field. You'll wish your pockets were heavier, guys. You truly will wish your pockets were heavier. Go ahead, BK, jump in there. Okay, Mark has spoken of the dearth of chemical protection. The gas masks are disappearing. I will point people to the fact that GunPartsCorp.com still has the 60 millimeter thin filters. They do not have those masks. Those masks are long gone, but they have the 60 millimeter filters at 150 for a wooden case. of these things. If you already have a mask that uses a 60mm filter, it is a no brainer to grab a case of these. If you want a buddy out to split it, then so be it. You can put the coin over who gets the wooden case when it's left over. It's kind of flimsy, but it's useful. I never throw away anything. They also have the Canadian C3 mask which uses that 16mm filter. $14.20, size medium. that gives you a mask. These are unissued size medium which means it will fit most adults. Maybe a little uncomfortable on some but so be it. You will recognize the Canadian C3s because they have the round eye lenses. Maybe not your preference, maybe you like the M17s, maybe you like the thin masks, but we're getting down to the point where the question is not what varieties do you have and what's my favorite, but do you have something? to act if you have not already done so. So if you don't have masks on hand, Gun Parts Corp can fix you up with the Canadian C3 masks at $14.20 and the filters you will pay I think about $7 for a single filter or something on the order of five and a half or six for quantity three. But if you buy a case of those, 45 of them in a case, 450 plus on shipping, you will have some sustaining capability. They also do have the filter adapter. This will let you use a 40 millimeter filter on the 60 millimeter masks. only $11 for that plastic adapter ring. On the other hand, if you skip over to our friends at Maine Military, they do not have the inventory of those that they had a few years back, but they still have some there, listing five of those for $9. Some of them will be orange and some of them will be black. If you don't like the orange, then you can simply go to work with a magic marker or a sharpie or some such and make the exposed parts, the orange one, black. It will work just the same. So if you get one of these C3 masks or if you already have the fin masks or what have you and the filters, then you have some sustaining capability. If you get a couple of the rings, per mask or at least one, two would be nice, then you can make use of the 40 millimeter filters should you pick those up or encounter them or acquire them in some other means without necessarily trusting the mask that came along with the filters. So that is Gun Parts Corp. And when other vendors are running out, these guys still have some. So act while you still can and please do not come around to Mark and BK later on and say, we can't find a mask, where do I get a mask? If you pass this stuff up and I didn't buy it when it was available, we're going to have a limited ability to help you. So that is a bit of a problem. You'll have our sympathies, but I don't think you're going to have a lot of success approaching people and saying, �Well, you've got a spare mask, give me yours.� I don't think so. Gunparts also has a couple sizes of the Russian possum style mask. I'm not crazy about those. They are certainly much better than nothing. If that's what I had, I would use one. and not thrilled with the whole design. But at $3.50, you can't complain too much. That might be something that you would want to have on hand as an extreme emergency item or a handout item, et cetera, and hope for a battlefield drop that's a little bit better as an upgrade. So those are available. Those will be the 40 millimeter style, so they're not going to use the 60 millimeter cheap filters. At least something is something. Sort of a topology there. I always have problems with that word. Gunpartscorp.com, most of the vendors are running out of this stuff. They still have some act now or forever hold your peace. One of the things to remember is that wholesalers are pretty much out of gas masks. In fact, even the filters which were It's more likely you may run into M10 filters over 40 millimeter filters with many of the jobbers right now. There's a little bit of those that came in from the checks. Again, there are not very many, but there's at least one or two companies that got some of those. Retailend, the stuff is out there because that's where it's gone to, or at least what's left in certain venues. Craig from Forbidden Knowledge does have Israeli gas masks on hand. You need to get hold of him to find out what he has available. He bought a large block of them back when they were much more affordable and it's part of the stuff that he specializes in. That's his niche. So, for everybody out there listening, remember to take the time to get hold of Craig at Forbidden Knowledge. You can go to our link at libertytreeradio.4mg.com. Look over on the right side. There's a link there. It will also get you to Forbidden Knowledge to his page and Craig's page. And then, guys, it gives you the schedule for where he's going to be coming up in this spring season, so winter, spring. You can actually connect with him and meet him up at a place and pick up the stuff from him that you need if you're going to order it from him. That would be probably the way to do it. He usually should have a certain amount with him at the show and if you tell him to bring some more, just please make a point of being there. That's all that we ask. Now, real quick BK. We're headed towards the top. We've got a few minutes. But in the chat room, they found something and I really didn't expect to find it at this location. CDNNinvestments.com. CDNNinvestments.com. When you go over to specials, guys, and you click specials, it's over on the left side. It says home and there's specials, download catalog bags. Go to specials. It's got all these individual little postings for magazines. I expect that. Lasers, I expect that. Magazine fixtures. Grips for 45. Safety glasses. Knives, bolt carrier for $100 for the Air 15, carry handle for $30. Charging handle and 10 foot, 10 gauge jumper cables for cart. Wait a minute. Yeah, out of the middle of nowhere right down here for $5 they've got 12 foot 10 gauge jumper cables, traditional style, and on sale for $5 a set. And it looks to be just the normal thing you'd expect, but for a pretty reasonable price at $10, you'll forgive me, at $5. Normally $8, now they're $5 on sale, so $3 off. So if you're buying stuff from CDNN Investments and you just happen to need a pair of jumper cables for a reasonable price, I'm sure that the shipping won't be all that bad on something like that thrown in with all the other goodies you're already getting. And if you go again to CDNN Investments, then go to the Special section, scroll down all the way through just about the bottom. There's lasers and let's see tactical light and jumper cables. Maybe it's because they realize they are going to be short batteries. Hey, wait a minute, I don't want you to be jumping from it too, it would be all kind of big. Yeah, turn gauge is a little on the light side for automotive use, but it's still useful. I would not expect to spin over most vehicles based on the current that would run through those, but you know, you hook up and run your engine for a little while and charge your battery for a little while, and then between the battery charge and what you can provide through those, that may be enough. But they're also useful for other stuff. If you have off-grid, that gives you utility jumpers that you can use for connecting things together for short-term and things of this sort. So that's certainly an option. But be aware that what we think of as jumper cables are typically double-ought. Cables are much, much better than that. So 10 gauge is a little on the light side. That's light automotive glove box type kit. It goes off to the side and again it's one of those things that out of the blue it really doesn't fit with any of the other things that are in the category here. To include another one which by the way would not be my first choice if I were doing any repelling but the Kershaw Mini Carabiner with two inch blade that folds into the carabiner. You know there's always those things if it was larger and they were thinking of using it another way you know that any time you tried to use it it would simply be in the wrong place and do the wrong thing. at the right time and a blade around your apelling rope just in a make it for some of these are many carabiners so it's a little different story but anyway others a bunch of stuff at cbnn not a whole lot really jumping off the wall in the sales for the weekend not from cbnn but there are a few other you know again items through a center fire systems dot com i did want to mention that they have the uh... a k forty seven korean magazines for seven dollars apiece if you buy three or more Again, you buy a big box of them, there's a better price still, so that's something to consider. I called Sarco today, and I checked on the weapons that I'd mentioned on the air. Well, they sold out of all of those. The 9mm Browning Hypertype pistols, they are out of, but they just had a shipment come in. Don't bother calling over the weekend, it won't do you any good. And by talking to the girls there, what they said is that probably the middle of next week, or no later than maybe the 20th because they're saying it might take that long. They're sorting and they are raiding the guns and then they're going to be posting them again. Now the Archeses, they're out of them. Chances are they didn't get any replacements. The Daewoo Pistols, they have a quantity that came in and I didn't get a chance to talk to the magazine guys. I tried to call right about before closing. Bad choice on a Friday. But anyway, I'll talk to them again on Monday. But the Daewus, they did come in, they do have some of the other high power knockoffs, including the Israeli high powers and the Hungarian. But they also received a quantity of star pistols. Now I don't know what model, she didn't know either, but she noted that they were on the list. So as soon as we get information on those, there's two ways that the stars will go. Most of the stars are straight in line scaled up or scaled down knockoffs of the 1911 without a grip safety. Later, and actually from about the early middle 80s, the star company started to work on staggered magazine pistols at a time when not everybody else in Europe was really moving in that direction even though the Browning High part was available. They did build a series of 45s though that kind of predate a lot of the other stuff we now consider the norm. The Brigadier and a couple of others like that became very popular in police departments because Staggered Magazine, 45 ACP, 13 shot. They also made 9s in the same gun. So there may be, it could be a middle-aged star pistol or a couple of different patterns of star pistols, we'll find out. If it's the BK, the PK, the LK, any of those look like the 1911, typically in everything from alloy frame with a steel slide to all steel construction. Typically they were military issue. They were used by, oh, the Italian police, the Spanish police, Portuguese military. The guns were all over the planet. You will find them in the United States quite extensively. magazines are available, we're just going to have to find out first what they have. So be a little patient, but definitely a better price. They did have, I'm sure they'll have mid-grade weapons, you know, not pretty on the outside, but serviceable and functional on the inside, pretty doesn't count for anything. And if we can find something for under or around $200, that's kind of rare right now. Take a look at the prices and what's being offered in the industry. Looking for surplus like this, these are now the 70s and 80s and early 90s surplus guns and they're coming in trickles. They're not coming in big waves. The one that I would recommend because they do have mags for is the Hungarian high power but I found something else out that they just got in and guys for anybody out there who has any of these para-ordinates, staggered magazine 45s. Now, mags for those have been kind of high. And there's a reason, factory mags especially. Well, they made some kind of deal and I still haven't got a... I'm going to talk to the parts guys on this and kind of work on them a little bit and see if I can find out how they got these because They've received a whole bunch of slides. They've got a big chunk of the slide inventory from para-ordinates, as was noted from the front page. The magazines, though, they do have a good selection of in the larger capacity mags. Now, the reason I bring this up, if you have a Warthog or any of these other para-ordinates pistols that were smaller, the chubby stubbies as I call them, Any of those smaller pair ordnance guns will take the larger magazines. Now what they have are the pair ordnance 11 round 45 auto wide body mags, $20 a piece, and these are factory mags guys. They also have the 12 round 45 auto wide body mag for the 12 round 711. And then they've got bright steel, and these are all the same price. They're $20 a piece. Now to be quite honest, if you go look for these factory, they're about $30 to $35, up to $40 a piece, depending on which of these mags. So right off the bat, this is a reasonable price. But there's one other thing they do have. And if anybody's listening, and you have the para-ordinance pistol, and it's in 40 Smith & Wesson, the wide body that's the odd man out I'd there were not very many of these really out there in production even now and they have 10 round mags for twenty dollars guys these are factory pair ordinance mags so if you've got a 40 or if you know somebody who has a 40 they have those mags in stock and that is a steal for that magazine literally that is a feed the 40s of the tough man out 45 mags I can find aftermarket or I can find para-ordinates mags which are always more expensive well they have the para-ordinates mags so I'm gonna again be checking on that we've got a couple people that have a whole brace of those and these mags the larger capacity mags will fit in the Warthog all day so you don't have to worry about that one They are in bright steel, which to me doesn't make any difference, bright steel, blue or even stainless brushed, whatever they're doing. All those will work. And as a factory magazine, that is a very reasonable price because that's what you're paying for the aftermarket mags is $20. So just a heads up on that. If you've got any of the chubby stubbies or any of the other pair-ordance pistols, they do have them in stock. They are available. They are probably going to get more. That's the other thing that we know. Apparently there's some dickering they're doing. They've found a source and they're clearing them out progressively or they're going through the inventory and gradually throwing them out as they've gone through the boxes. Once they get through one batch, they're going to the next and then to the next. It'll take a long time if they've got a truckload worth of parts, guys. So, that's definitely worthwhile. The Hungarian high power P9R magazines are there for the Hungarian pistols. That's another thing everybody was asking about. So, yeah, they do. They apparently work. So, that does give you a solution if they get those back in stock. Go ahead, BK. Anything else before we take off? Yeah. Interesting and exciting news. Potter Valley, Inc. once again has the Vitavuri N133 Potter in stock in 8 pound jugs. Vita Bure is very high quality stuff that's made from virgin cotton, not from wood pulp. Very consistent, very pleasant. The only downside has been availability and cost. They are back in stock with the 8 pound jugs at $196.50, which is a very good price for that, at powdervalleyink.com. The 133 is good for .223308, the medium rifle powder. We have a real ongoing shortage of these medium rifle powders. Nobody has ever been disappointed with the quality of the Vittavori stuff. It's a little bit less familiar to reloaders in the US. But if you need powder of some sort, that is an available one and it's a very high quality option at 196.50 is a good price. Potter Valley Inc. dot com. Univory N133, 8 pound jugs while they last. And again, take advantage of that. Give them a call if you want qualifications on, again, available inventory if you're looking for quantity. I know a lot of guys are looking to buy more than one 8 gallon jug, especially with the reloading being done right now. Well, we're at the top of the hour already. Oh, it didn't take long. BK, thank you for being there, sir. You're welcome. God bless the Republic. Death of the New World Order. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. We are on the march, close to day and night. Quartermaster Friday is over, but not the training. Again, for all you guys way up north there, be careful. I know right now they're sitting up radio equipment, and hopefully we've got some hand links going on right now. So everybody have a good weekend. Pay attention, get to the gun shows and the ham fest. Thank you, BK. Good evening. Hey Victory Buds, this is Joe from the Carolinas and I want to welcome you to Grow Your Own Budding Revolution. This is a solution-focused gardening program for folks interested in growing your own food, self-reliance and permaculture. We are coming at you pre-recorded this evening. Right now I'm in the forest and I just wanted to let you know I've got chaos that I'm causing elsewhere so I can't be live with you tonight. but enjoy the show nonetheless. Upsetting this evening in the forest. Right now when I'm recording this, it's in the daytime. Our setting is near a stream, and it's a mixed hardwood softwood forest in southeastern United States. It's pretty cold. The blanket of frost, I'm sure if you're listening now, has descended upon many of your areas. Make sure you're keeping warm. And if you're listening to this in the future, we've got some folks training so you may hear some gunshots. In the future, you may be listening to this at a warm time of year. I don't know how these archives will get distributed, but you guys can feel free to use them for whatever you want. Okay, free of charge. Grow Your Own is being broadcast and archived by LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com. Indiana Freedom Talk Radio dot com, AM and FM stations, base stations, as well as the fungal network of the soil itself across this great land. Our transmission begins this evening as we sweep across the coastal plains, vault over the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Rockies, finally landing on the high cascades as we salute our friends in the state of Jefferson all the way out there. waving to our friends in southern and central Alaska, as well as the Aleutians and all the folks up there experiencing 24 hours of sunlight above the Arctic Circle. Hello. We then bundle up and streak across the frozen tundra, hand off our winter gear as we sweat through the dry land, the tropics and the subtropics, envious of their warmth right now or cold, whatever the case may be, where our Tomaculture design teams are for equipment operators, And Native Peoples Consortium are working daily to reverse the spread of the deserts, increase beyond organic food production, and drop-proof landscapes all around the world. Like I said, we are pre-recorded this evening, folks, so you won't be able to call in. I don't know if you call in. Maybe you can still listen to this program. That would be 712-1-2. The room number is 957-464 and then the pound sign. That's 957-464 and the pound sign. So here we are in the woods, and like I was telling you before, my name is Joe. I practice a certain philosophy of growing food, and we really kind of live in life. And it's called POMACULTURE. And POMACULTURE stands for permanent agriculture, so the goal there is really to just design food production, human support systems, animal support systems, and interaction among all of those. So that way it requires little to no maintenance. So, you know, we also have, you know, what they call nowadays eco-building. which is really just building whatever supplies you got on hand with little, not a whole lot of, you know, expense, right? That's done in using materials that are going to last a long time that won't have as harmful effect on the environment, like with chemicals and different sort of coatings and whatnot. So, you know, we were talking about rocket mass heaters. We've also, you know, one of our other broadcasters mentioned like wood burning stoves and corn burners. And those are all great technologies. I think they're wonderful. And I mean, if you have access to one like down the street, get one and start using it and figure out how to hook it up. You know, permaculture, is really trying to go beyond even that. Like, what if those things aren't available? What can we do to heat our homes? Like, what might we be able to get now? Commonly available supplies, it's going to do a really good job heating our houses. Or there's also technologies called air wells that are natural sort of big piles of rocks. And those can be used to cool particular areas using underground tunnels and things like that in the desert that they've successfully made air conditioning systems just out of natural components. So, you know, permaculture is not just about growing food. Permaculture is about, like I said, living life in a way that's truly sustainable for us. You know, in the militia, we might only have what we have on hand, so we've got to use that to our benefit. So the other thing is we know about these things through history, and we appreciate history, all of us do. You may have heard me speaking on earlier programs about Thomas Jefferson. I'm reading his Thomas Jefferson's Garden Book, and that's got a lot of really cool information. He was a patriot, you know, through and through. So we look to our history. I mean, this guy was really trying to supply the nation's food in a sustainable way, in the technology that he had available then. So we stack functions in permaculture. In this approach, the militia approach to survivalism or prepping or whatever you want to say, we have other approaches, and we're going to try to squeeze as much production out of one area or one patch of ground as we possibly can. And then we have a canine alert lot going on. Allow me to pause to investigate. Be right back. Good boy. Okay, we are back. Once again, welcome back to Grow Your Own The Budding Revolution. We were talking about permaculture and stacking functions and trying to squeeze as much production out of one area. And we do that for various means. We want to make sure that we don't poison or pollute the area that we're in. You know, there's that old phrase, you know, you don't sh where you eat, right? Okay, so... We apply that principle. That's just common sense. It's just reason, logic, and common sense being applied in a way that benefits everybody. Promaculture is kind of like giving a gift to your future self or future people in your company or unit or squad or even eating your family. It really, truly is the art of sculpting and building up a piece of land to provide an abundance. So that's really what permaculture is. I don't particularly like the cult part of permaculture. I mean, there's certain folks that are so diehard that they get aggressive about it in a cult-y kind of way. And that might be because of I don't know, whatever issues that they've got going on. And I'm not talking about anybody in particular there. I'm just saying, like, in any movement that's counterculture, you're going to have folks that are counter even to any culture, and it's going to be kind of culty. So we do have to be aware of that, you know, because that's one thing that our enemy, you know, tries to take advantage of, right? So I think that, you know, that makes a lot of sense. Since we are in the woods, I want to focus on you as the listener experiencing the woods with me this evening. And we're going to do this because there's a lesson to be learned. There's a lesson to be learned in the woods.
