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 But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave In this the land of the free and home of the brave You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent, although you have no voice in saying how the money is spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan's number. You've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm. and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children will be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you will fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? Oh, sons of the Republic, arise. Take a stand. Defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land. Preserve our great Republic in each God-given right. And pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As Iooke vanished in the mist from whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trampled, each God given right, we only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Is this still the land of the free? and home. And good afternoon ladies and gentlemen this is the second hour of the afternoon intelligence report. I'm Mark Krunke. One day a closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories west, southwest, east and north. Well, ladies and gentlemen, you are listening to us on Liberty3radio.4mg.com, IndianaFreedomTalkRadio.com. We're on AM and FM microstations, CB, base stations, and ultra net technologies east and west. of the Mississippi along with Alaska. We're in the Hallmark Network from the top of Maine to the bottom of Florida. From the bottom of Florida across the arc of the Gulf of Mexico headed to Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Oklahoma, big chunk of Nebraska, a whole bunch of Wyoming to include both 3rd, 5th pit and our friends in the recall state of Colorado. Waiting to the left coast we turn back to the east. sweeping over the... leaping over the burgeoning banks of the Mississippi and landing in the Smokies for the restaurant crews, grandma teams, okay teams, and the mob build, grandma consortium of retired telecommunications workers bring us the gold in spite. Many hands make for light work a million petticoat junction operators. The ability to continue to function when everything else is offline. Interesting. Of course it is the, well, it's Monday guys. Wow, it's been a long Monday too. 14th of April, the sixth year of open Fabian the Socialist and Soviet Socialist occupation of America with a K2014 Old Earth Calendar or Mayan. Crazy Town, Crazy Town, yeah, it's Crazy Town Calendar as you all know. So for everybody out there listening, and it is It has been a busy Monday, although one of the reasons I almost was getting into the program actually is I've been running into these phenomenal deals with regard to electronic and computer technology. So I couldn't pass it up, had to get the stuff boxed up, had to get it sorted out a little bit before we got up on the air. And I'm not going to have any problem running into the mice that we need, but also got a hold of some older technology. Really kind of cool. And the only thing I didn't get was the micro eight-track cassettes that we got before. But I got some really strange stuff I'm going to have to go through. I haven't even had a chance to crack the box yet. I looked inside and thought, whoa! I'm not going to open those other little packages, because I can see little glimpses of unique technology there. So pay attention guys, you never know what people are tossing out, you never know what people are getting to burr up their butt, they think they need the latest and greatest, they're not going to like the newer, it's not working as well as they're older, but as long as they keep getting rid of it, it's virtually pristine. Hey, we can run that puppy for another 20 years before anything breaks down. You know how it works. Anyway, the Bundy Ranch. Now, number one, remember we're going to ground and you are in a fatigue situation with regard to clothing. If you were going in and this was a combat situation, just your house pack and your combat load would be, your your your LBE load bearing equipment would be pretty much what you'd be going in with this heavy infantry. But we're going in as cargo supported. Right now we have the ability to pour material in while not spending top dollar on anything if we don't want to. Okay, remember bulk food. You put a bunch of heifers down there our size, you got a hundred, two hundred, three hundred adults on site who by the way are going to also be physically active. Guys, you're going to go through tons of food, pounds of food, pounds and pounds and pounds. Now, will you pack your battle pack and your house load with the typical MREs, freeze-dried food and stuff like that? Well, yeah, that's normal. Your kit should be prepared and on standby, in the event you have to go mobile or again, either make contact or break contact. So your combat load doesn't change at all except you might beef it up with additional ammunition and additional pyrotechnics. But beyond that, remember, your food packs and everything stay the same. I would throw more crunchables and munchables that are high energy bars. Cheapest for the mostest. No, I'm not looking for pretty tasting. I'm not looking for pretty packaging. I'm looking for quantity and calories with vitamins. OK? Food tabs are a good choice. If you still find them, they're a little harder to find the use to. They used to actually come in a canteen-shaped container, so you put them right into a standard canteen cover with your U.S. gear, and you'd be carrying however many meals because of how each tab is a meal, basically. One meal tab will give you everything you need to basically equate to a standard ration, a standard field ration, like an MRE or the old C-RAT. Now that's one option, but there's so many other things. You can go to the health food stores, you can spend whatever kind of money you want, to be quite honest. As long as it's protein, it's got all the other minerals, amino acids, and other good stuff in it, but it's cheap and not as pretty and not the most expensive, I would recommend going that way because you're looking at deploying for an extended period of time. Pretty doesn't count. And again, flavor, as long as it's kind of in the flavor that matches the color. Red is kind of like plastic strawberry, typically. And the chocolate is like brown chalk. And the vanilla is probably the closest thing to being something like what you expected, although it's probably just white chalk. Well, chewy white chalk. OK, there we go. But that varies and I highly recommend that you take the time. If you run into a Whole Foods store and they have a markdown on something, I buy it all. I buy a big pile of it and I take it with me and I pack them in my pockets, put them in my kit. I grab as much as I could afford if I was half price. These are like, oh, they did it all fantastic. They'll work just fine. Just a basic rule there. Now, beyond that, food and water, I cannot emphasize again, if you are going into what is going to be an escalating situation, we're in the freebie phase right now. We can get food in, we can get other support in. Radio and signal communications and backups and backups and backups and backups need to be in place. Every vehicle going in needs a CB radio in the vehicle that stays in the vehicle. Oh Mark, I got this radio that does everything. Oh, that's just nice. OK, that stays with you though. How's that sound? We want a vehicle radio so that every vehicle becomes a mobile radio system. Again, we want to have minimal cost. The idea here is that we can have multiples upon multiples upon multiples. Something gets knocked out, something gets blewed up. You're able to switch to something else and go, okay, there's one there. We've got that piece from that one to another part from that one. Congratulations, we're putting another rig online and doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo do The other thing again, with regard to food, two, number six, or forgive me, six pack, number 10 cans of food. Corn, peas, string beans, beets, I don't care, we do it a mix. But the idea behind it is remember that it doesn't take long when you put 100 or 200 people under a table for them to start chowing down. Now you're not going to give them just all they want to eat. And here's another thing, you don't leave food on the plate. If you don't eat it, you don't take it. I'm sorry, this is no fancy stinking restaurant. You are in a fighting situation where every ounce counts. So the most important thing is also rationing out from the get go. Oh, I want more. You finish what you got there, you're going to have some more. Because I've seen people do this. It's disgusting. Pile the food on. Other people don't get what they're supposed to get or get less. And then the pig that piled it on leaves all the food on the tray. He's got some pee brain idea that he's going to gorge or whatever. And that is disgusting to me. I have no use for that person because that person is not thinking about the other men. After everybody has got some, a real fighting man, a warrior knows this. Your unit takes care of itself. Your people work together. That's just a basic rule. It's not going to be, in fact we can't afford to do this from the get go. So cafeteria, or again, mess hall control needs to be in place so that we can stretch the food. You've got other stuff that's yours to eat, chow down. But the idea behind this is that each meal, as far as the meals provided, need to be coordinated so that we can take advantage of the calories we have and stretch them for the greatest number of days, weeks, or months. The Branch Davidians were ill-prepared in several categories. Nancy just called around the corner here a minute ago, water. Yes, you take more water in. You should be filling every container up. You should take more containers in. Fill them up. water is life. Anybody remember the Branch Davidian siege? How they were placing sheets out there and plastic sheets and containers to try and get a few more dribblets of water because they didn't have enough water and storage? And the enemy shot the water tanks. And the enemy shot the water tanks. Did you all hear what I said? And the enemy shot the water tanks. Not the bunny ranch. I'm talking about the branch-devidean attack, but it won't be any difference They already did bust up a bunch of sites which by the way as quickly as they can need to be redone ASAP like yesterday Whatever damaged if you got grunts on the ground you got manpower That's what that's what old fatigues are for. Well, I got the latest in snugly bear camouflage Yeah, that's nice that say that for the fighting situation. They are called fatigues for a reason Standard OD green fatigues would be your best choice. There's tons of this stuff coming out. Right now the Austrian army fatigues like our late 70s standard permanent press fatigues are out there for pennies. They're cheap. You need work clothes, but you still need them to be tactical if at all possible. No, we're not talking blue jeans. I don't work well on blue jeans anyway. I don't have a whole lot. Some people love them. I don't. I'll live with them, but black jeans, blue jeans, green jeans, but they're not the most exciting pair of pants for me anyway. That's just that. That's the style thing, and I don't guess I'm not in much of anything the way of a style person. Fatigue pants are cheap. You can hit lots of them and you're gonna be fatiguing. Why? Oh, you mean you're not gonna be sitting on your arse sipping a little vino and watching all the peasants work? Now, if you show up on the ground, the straw boss's job is to make sure all that manpower and horsepower is put to work. No, no, we're going to showboat for the cameras. I'm going to posture. Let me posture with looking in the distance. Let me posture with pointing at something. Rule number one, if you're in a combat situation and there are snipers, don't get into the idea of pointing at a lot of stuff. Does everybody understand that? especially don't point a lot of stuff when you know you look like you got a pair of binoculars and you know you have the everybody is deferring to you I've ever heard that term they look for command people and their job is to murder them So, pointing and looking dynamic by everybody pointing over, oh look over there. The idea is to work to become a lot less arm active and motion active. Just a little hint there about combat situations. And by the way, learn to describe and use your voice. In other words, my 6 or my 12, hey by the way, to the right of that tree, 300 yards out. right of the pine tree, yeah that one right there, lower to the right side base, there you go you got it, without the pointy thingy. Unless you want to be, I mean it looks great in the picture, they may also catch the picture of the 30 caliber round crashing through your noggin with mist spraying all over the place and you might have an exclamation point on your face before you die. See how that works? We already talked about personal radios. A wide spectrum is your best choice. and linking up certain units obviously coming up with a system on site is obviously the intelligent thing to do. CBs allow you to pre-deploy vehicles in tactical support and in picket form with a common radio communications band that everybody can relate to. Your people coming in or moving through the area can also monitor so they can lock into that but that does not have to be your LPOP control frequency or your control bandwidth. You can be working up or down the dial with other equipment. Six meter is fantastic. Marine radio guys out there, did you notice something? Not a whole lot of marinas. You're out in the middle of the desert. Marine frequencies out there are wide open and marine radios are just like CB radios. A couple other things, if you're going out there, batteries. You want to do something to help? Yeah, I know. Mark the best quality. Now here's how it works. We need volume because a lot of stuff you're going to run is ultra efficient to begin with. And since most of you will tell me you don't have much in the way of money, fine. I understand that. So here's what you do. Go to the dollar store and get the most that you can for $1 in AA and AAA batteries per dollar. In other words, if there's a four-pack sitting there but there's an eight-pack sitting there instead, get the eight-pack. Sylvanias are out there. Sometimes it's chao chu bong or never ready instead of ever ready. You know it looks like ever ready but it says you know never no chao bao. You know chao chu being ready. Whatever it is, most for the least. Now if you're really really limited, five dollars worth of batteries, three packs of triple A's and two packs of double A's or vice versa, whatever you want to do. Or maybe if you want get all one size. But if you've got several different pieces of equipment you've been talked into and you have double and triple A batteries, I would think you're gonna buy both. You see what I mean? Oh yes, and solar, you know, I don't think I have to tell you, but okay, I'll include this because somebody's gonna go, Mark's really stupid because he's talking about throw away batteries. How many times have we talked about rechargeables in this program? How many millions of times have we talked about rechargeable everything on this program? Solar power, crank power, old military crank. If I could find those for you for a good price, we used to buy those for $65 a piece. The old military radio crank sets, guys, you could power an entire operation nowadays with all the micro equipment that's out there. You could be powering multiple small format battery packs with one of those old grind them and find them generators. You don't waste any gasoline, you just got to put more calories in, Armstrong. You see how that works? So there's another solution. But the important thing is quantity and, again, expendables. Now here's another thing. I don't care what you do here. If you've got a big pile of phone books or go buy some toilet paper. But if you're going to buy toilet paper, all those things, somebody's going to tell me, oh, Mark, I need my Charmin. OK, whatever. I don't care. But you take a case or two of toilet paper in. Now you can scratch your hind end with your old bung hole with sand. You can grab that yucca plant there and scrape off the crusty stuff. You can use that MRE wrapper. We've done all of that. But as long as we have the advantage for a few more weeks or years or maybe only a few more months of arse-wipe paper, It would really be a good idea. So don't make any snide comments about, I don't need a toilet paper, I'm so tough, I'm going to use cactus to scrape behind Dan. Well, that's a wonderful idea. And I would like to watch, but then again I would not. I'm not into sadomasochism, number one. And number two, it's just a disgusting image, okay? However, this is something that most people don't think about, is arse white paper because it simply keeps you cleaner and it is more comfortable for the moment. Don't worry, you'll be uncomfortable soon enough. If you end up in a battlefield situation or a siege, no, I've told you a million times, your underwear will change. You can get four changes of underwear for one pair of underpants. You first wear them out the way they are, then you turn them front to back on the same side, then you turn them inside out, and then you turn them front to back again. There you go. How's that for being bully bad butt tough? Hey Mark? Go ahead, caller. Hey, this is Joe Pacharelli, living currently in North Carolina, not speaking for everyone who identifies themselves as quote-unquote from the Carolinas. There are thousands of us, literally. I want to say that if there is alternative to toilet paper naturally in the environment, that would be called Mullen or Verbascom, which is a common name that covers about 250 species of flowering plants in the Figwort family. They also call it cowboy toilet paper. This is an important thing for folks because if we run out of those sort of resources, we don't want to make sure we're wiping our arses with poison. That's the other issue there. That's why guys grab handfuls of gravel, guys, and even then that's not safe. Trust me. Go ahead. There you go. So I know we've had a lot of callers from the Carolinas, but I did want to put out there to everyone that I am married, I love my wife. There's only one Joe from the Carolinas. That's me. I've already given the information out. Those of you that have been legally restrained need to maintain your distance, including, quote-unquote, on radio. Mylin can be grown anywhere. It's a weed. It's important that we look at our weeds or our spike root plants. in that way. It used to be the Sears and Roebuck catalog, but there's a whole stack of phone books because they can be Firestarter. There's any number that can be used for wrapping paper if need be. Paper is going to become harder and harder to get. Back when the Poles were under the control of the Communists, when they were sorting out everybody that they were going to execute, when the Jewish Communists had taken over Poland and they wanted to execute the Polish Christians that were there. What they did is they put them, of course, in the detention camps and they gave them all kinds of communist propaganda. Well, the Polish troops were smart. They took all of the Polish propaganda that was written in Polish for them, but was being dumped on by the communists. What did they do with it? Well, it made for great toilet paper because otherwise they didn't have any. So they grabbed all the propaganda they could possibly get. Anything and everything. Oh yes, print more. Give us more. You see? Just something to think about there. And again, it's a consideration that everybody has to look at. Now there's another reason why this is also hygiene, but comfort too. As you get older you're going to find that comfort is a nice thing for as long as you can enjoy it because you know, closer to the fire means you stay warmer. Better food means you're a little late, you've got more calories to work with and a place for the food to go out that isn't infected or crusty or you know, stinking to high heaven. For as long as you can avoid that part of the mission, you do. Okay, so think ahead on this one and anybody makes any stupid comments about toilet paper, hit them with a 2x4. Okay, we'll use what we can. It's one of the pleasures of civilization that is going to be one of the first to disappear. Does everybody under- don't worry, you won't have to argue about whether or not you should be using toilet paper in the field because it will be gone. It simply will be gone. Do you see any magic toilet paper machines out there? Yes or no? Do you know about the traditions of the world which probably is one of those subjects? I've talked about this. Toilet rocks. Do you know what toilet rock is? Oh, what about religion? Because everybody always, you know, poo poo is what, pardon the pun there, poo poos. Anyway, everybody talks about different faiths, but even in the Jewish faith and the Muslim faith, guys, there's a reason that one hand isn't used to eat with. Does everybody understand that? You get my drift. I mean, do you see a toilet paper tree out there in the middle of the desert? Anybody? Wow. Yeah, that's right. Anyway, we got another caller. Who do we have? Call her, jump in there. Here, please. Oh, Mark, this is one of your quick... Okay, hold on. I've had to use sticks before. And, you know, when I was in the service and... I mean, you got to remember you're not playing the violin, but, you know, it seems to be effective. Exactly. Well, one of the things to remember, every part of the sea ration box, none of those went to waste. By the way, there was a little packet of toilet paper, and you all know this in the condiments pack. And everybody used that and the wrapper. Guys, oh, that's right. There's a wrapper that comes in. Not much, but every port in the storm is used, okay? Just something to think about there. So good point. Well, actually, toilet sticks, toilet rocks, and they're reusable if you have a bucket of water. Oh, I didn't know about that one. Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww Yeah, see that's why we got it pretty good for the time being and the healthier and cleaner and better off we can steal the more we can focus on the mission the better off will be it doesn't mean that I expect you to come in with a truckload of Charmin in fact I'll be quite honest real quick here. I don't get another caller I'm also gonna recommend something guys like I said last week if you're going in and you're gonna take toilet paper go to one of these custodial supply warehouses You can buy a case of the almost makes Chinese typing paper look good. Okay toilet paper It will work. It's going to work just fine, but you know what you can buy a lot more paper for less And it's called a toilet paper roll Yes, we joke about it because it is Chinese typing paper. In fact, you can take the wrappers and make great air mail letters out of them. They come individually wrapped. You've seen them. Green and white, white wrapper with green print, white wrapper with red print, etc., etc. It's a waxed or a mildly waxed paper. Let me give you a little hint. In the prison system, those toilet paper rolls along with scabbin' cigarette butts. Those toilet paper covers that paper. It's cut down to proper size and used for making roll-your-own cigarettes. Oh, you ain't never gonna be that desperate. Well, you might not be right now, but I've seen it, so don't tell me. Oh no, yeah. Well, when you see people that are so poor that they fight over the re-rolls that are in the cigarette ashtrays, they butt- phrase and they collect a handful so they can break them apart and Put them all into a piece of toilet paper cover roll and then smoke them if you can you imagine what that's like at 2 in the morning to smell coming down the hallway oh Man, and you can't get away from it, and you know it's being done. Oh my goodness So anyway we got another caller caller the second caller jump in there, please from Arizona. Yes Mark this is Arizona I just kind of wanted to call in and put a little bit of thought we were going back and forth on something things operating out in the desert southwest. Please go last Friday and things and one of the other deals. Bring your attention to the history of low wing, color driven, the engines are set. They've gone back and modified them. They've taken brand new airframes and then they'll send them to another plant. Then those and building radomes by the Army, there were three aircraft and they were going to use those for direction finding and radio jamming. this to camp out on the BLM land which generally be there. You're quiffed on the lines of what we one days can't be there and what you're there for, mindset. You're there one day if you ever encounter you guys over there and you go, well that's not us but that's, it doesn't matter. You come out here, they've thought about it but for me you gotta think about your ingress and your egress routes. High on nationals, ingress and egress routes are seriously limited and they can be, you might want to start thinking about. Just you move along from the sandwich or something, read a little, You might want to also think about if you're out in some of the other remotes and then you're going to come back and if it's over you'll be able to maybe take some and even if you use when we send out recon teams send out a team right out what's going on you just don't tell me what you can so they're and how many people are doing there and then come back and then anything else so it's none of this up and down the aisles of the shopping center and see what we can find deal another thing I would you needed if it gets tree limbs down to make ammunition magazines things like that they have these little your magazines on top of that that you have. Like if you've got AR magazines and whether they're the aluminum ones, the top route heated motion which you go into the radio's at 2 meters. The one radio of your FRS have one of those on scan pyramids. And so your vein is for your flashlights and your arrows are fine. Your life might be and you'll find that you're going to be off as much as you normally would. And then that's going to No, you're absolutely right. I understand. That's why we're talking about rechargeables too. The Sylvanias are primarily for exactly what we're discussing. LED lighting is out there in force. or at the very least stand by and it's cheap and everybody can dump some off. Better quality batteries are available and rechargeables. I love rechargeables. There's all kinds of neat tricks there. One other thing you mentioned and this is a good point because remember guys it's the desert but you see there's still moisture. You have the cycle from day to night, night to day. Dew structure is in place, mob heat with heat, water accumulates in an area. With the magazines, the big thing to consider, why are you a person? We're not talking across the terrain, it happens there too. Let's think about the idea of nickel plated ammunition, at least for your top brass. It's not a big deal to still buy nickel plated 9 nickel plated 40 caliber even you ought to spend a little bit more and we're not talking any specialized rounds Ideally a nickel case with a standard ball round would be your first best choice But the idea is that again that helps that's why nickel cases came about by the way because of carry guns years and years ago nickel plated firearms Well two things the gun usually got chopped up from salt and rust, you know body body wet And to cover up that sin of not maintaining the gun, a lot of people used to nickel plate the guns. Heavily nickel plate them because it fills in the holes. number one but ammunition nickel-plated ammo that's what built back you can even find nickel-plated out six nickel-plated 308 federal used to make it that on how much they're making but at the very least again for top-off rounds and also even if need be for a carry your carry load you know first round up everything else standard military whatever you got the other thing is doing maintenance when you come to complete halts and you're finished for the day or at least in one cycle is inspecting your ammunition. That is something we haven't talked about enough again and now we're looking at a fighting situation offloading the ammo, wiping the ammo down, wiping out the inside of the magazine, doing physical maintenance. Now you don't break down everything all at once and you don't have everybody doing it all at once. It would be embarrassing to have all those things apart and somebody deciding they want to kill them at you. They want to murder late you. It would be kind of embarrassing as well as a cluster of things. To prevent that, you come up with a natural or an intelligent cycle while you're in the field. Another thing on this, we have people that are still headed out that way, Mr. X. Let's consider deployment so far. People are moving into the area. Are we still getting moisture out there at all? Still getting some rain or are we looking more towards the dry and stand right now? I haven't listened to the weather report for Vegas. You'd have to check Weather Channel. I can listen to the weather. It's right to be in that area. Down here they are and the terrain is fairly similar, but once again though You've got this massive body of water there at Lake Mead. You've got the Grand Canyon with the Colorado River. You've got really high mountains to the east of it, up in the 8 and 9,000 feet that have a tendency to almost make weather, if I can use that term. And it's off nice and blue sky at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and things bring May flowers. Now I'm going to say there's less and less possibility of the rain out here as the closer we get into May. you can pretty much forget all the arc beads. Let's get out of here. Well, you said my original car when I was stationed down there was in Tucson, one of the Arroyos. It was in one of the flash flood areas. So I got it for $200. It actually, it dried out just fine. By the time I got it, it was completely dry. Just the carpet was in horrible condition, the bed carpet and one of those old AMC's. So I had to change that out. When I got back up here, I had some indoor outdoor Paisley carpet. Paisley in green. Yeah guys, it was the 70's, come on. But it really did look cruel on the inside. It looked like I should have Soutar music playing on the inside while I was going down the road. I even had the back window, the header base in the back of the window was tired too because of the Arizona sun. So I didn't replace it but I capped it over with the same carpet, it looked neat. It was just classic. So anyway, yes, moisture is an issue, but it's a seasonal thing. You run extremes. That's one thing about the desert. You run extremes. And you'll get patterns too, because you see that's one of the things that, down in this general area here, is that sometimes of the year we'll get weather patterns up out of the Gulf of Mexico, or sometimes out of the Baja, or sometimes they'll roll off from Alaska. come down to, say, L.A. and then turn east or go down to San Francisco for San Diego and then turn east. They just peter out right by the culvert. Some of them really have a lot of foresaws, a lot of destruction flooding. Instantaneously, it's flooding in Colorado for days on end. We are into the long wet cycle. Out of the multi-decade cycle, we're into the wet cycle right now. It's interesting where we are here. It's been coming straight down. We just had some wind earlier today. But when we've had rain and we've had snow all through the winter, guys and I expressed this on the air, everything came straight down. No wind, no blowing, no drifting. If there was something covering the ground by three feet, the area underneath, even though there would be two feet of snow above, was bare. It was just like that through the whole season. Our rain so far has been the same way. We have gotten rain. We've gotten classic spring rain. But we haven't had rain combined with the high winds or anything like the massive storm with the rain in your eyes and you can't see. But that doesn't mean it isn't happening. It is going to happen in other places. We're getting lots and lots of moisture. So, we should expect that for the time being because that gets into the whole issue of flash flooding and other issues you need to know about when you move into an area. You know, do as the natives do. Find out what they know and as is pointed out, constantly orient yourself. I think that's the most important thing is know where you are. Everybody should be carrying a compass. No one man has a compass. All of you. Everyone. Non-combatants and combatants. Everybody should be carrying a compass. You never know who's going to lose theirs or battle damage breaks something. Field damage, field use breaks something. That's why backups to backups because that one tool gets you in and out of a situation and a compass is probably the best example. Anything else in terms of tools or support items? Obviously E-Tools, we definitely are going to need to be moving those in the field. Yeah, you need those. You might want to get sometimes I've seen people take like a regular shovel, which has got a pretty good shovel head, a pointed one, not a flat pointed one. And then they'll cut the shovel handle down about three or four feet and then attach a T handle at the end of it. And then that way you've got a full size scoop part on the shovel. But if it's not just that little tiny e-tool, for each one of the ones on the bigger shuntake, it takes you three e-tool shovels to do it. And you can dig quicker. I'd give a chain. Snatch straps are okay, but they're nylon or puff and they, unless you can keep them up and out of the sun and not that bad, they have a tendency to degrade, I would stick with. And give them good assortment of pioneer tools, things like that, that you never know. And maybe even some sheets, if you can get some of that pierced planking like they used in the world, make airfields in the soft sheets that they came in, see them floating around, and they've been cut in half and things like this. It can be handy if you have to. stuff. And that's another thing, talking about if we get into a real rainy season, maybe, but it might be the second of July and it might be the 31st of July. And never know, but when it's here, and if you want to cross it, don't be tempted. I mean, even if it looks like you don't know what the bottom looks like, wheel drive, taller ones. And it was only getting it out, and then you sit in everything light of the wash and wait for the water to go down. It'll generally go down in 20 minutes or so, and then you can go on across. before you do that you might want to send somebody out to make sure that nothing's gotten out of place. There's no big rocks that are in some of these dry washes and there's no hollow places covered up with more of the turbine. And then they would have a chain structure on the other side, so you will. Something back to the needs help that you'd have it tethered from. So not only would, and that would only be stream measure where it was an absolutency and you weren't in the Red Sea and you could get it to the, only in a case of that would I go to that extreme to try or anything and the other thing too and I'm like I'm not going to do that to my vehicle but if you got some of these shmit of water in it because you're in the bottom of the vehicle and then as you go through the water then it may be in the bottom of the vehicle and then when you get to the other hustle. We're almost to the top but every bit helps. We're going to be looking at people cycling out. We have three individuals coming back. deployment out there to the north of the Bundy Ranch. We still have, of course, a part of that team is there. The next group is on their way out. I know many other states are doing the same thing. There's cycling personnel in. Don't try to e-vac if you can overlap, guys. Overlap and leave three or four men that are already experienced with the AO. A fire team, ideally. But if you've got so many men, whoever can stay, They need to overlap. That way they can work as Kit Carson Scouts for the new people coming in. Now it doesn't mean that the other individuals are inexperienced, it just means they need the assist. Real quick, Desert Camo Kevlar helmet covers. 12 pack at Maine Military. A 12 pack for $5 guys.
