Summary
Mark Koernke discussed improvised weapons construction, including bowling ball mortars, 55-gallon drum anti-personnel devices, and PVC pipe claymores, drawing on Vietnam-era combat engineering. He then shifted to cold weather gear recommendations, specifically Arctic extreme cold weather masks available for $3.95-$4 from KeepShooting.com and airsoft retailers, along with tactical belts and camouflage equipment from airsoft-club.com. A caller raised concerns about televangelists requesting funds for luxury items like an L-1011 aircraft while legitimate radio operations struggle financially.

Live 365. 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'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right, and pray to God to keep the torture freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he 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 his parents trampled each god-given right. We only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave to deal the land of the free? Afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. This is the second hour of the afternoon intelligence report. I'm R. Kaunky. one day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories west, central, south, and northeast. Ladies and gentlemen, you are listening to us on LibertyTreeRadio.4MG.com, Indiana Freedom Talk Radio.com, we're on AM and FM microstations, CB base stations, and UltraNet Technologies east and west of the Mississippi along with Alaska. All-mark 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 Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Oklahoma, big chunk of Nebraska, a bunch of Wyoming to include both 3rd, 5th, Pitt, the 12 sisters, on the left side of the state and Colorado, the recall state. Well, waving left coast where we have the great state of Jefferson, we turn back to the east, sweep across the plains, leap over the burgeoning banks of the Mississippi and land in the Smokies slash the Blue Ridge where the restaurant crews, grandma teams, okay teams, and the Ma Bell Grammar Consortium bring us the Golden Spike. Many hands make for light work, a million Peddicoat Junction operators the ability to continue to function when everything else is offline. It has been a beautiful day today but now it's gotten all calm outside, headed towards sunset and clear skies. But that just means it's going to get cool tonight. Now, it didn't get frost last night but boy it wanted to and I would remind everybody it's not a div, it's just a win. So be prepared for that. A couple cool little things here to check out. UNAMMO.COM Something I haven't pointed out here, guys. You need to look at designs and understand how simple they can be and then relate to the idea of just making them a little bigger. Why not? There's a couple different devices. Number one, bowling ball mortars. Have you looked at them? Well, if you haven't seen them, you get some nice little close-up pictures. Or if you go to YouTube and punch in bowling ball mortar, you will see bowling ball mortars in action. but anything the size of a bowling ball could be put into that mortar and boom! It goes down range and if it's got a fuse in it, it gets the other end and goes oh, boom! I guess it'd be pretty impressive, don't you? Yeah, probably. Don't forget you can also turn that barrel horizontally, put a charge in the back of it, use cardboard for the standoff, fill the thing full of broken glass. All kinds of fireworks. Just think about it. Nails, pee on the nails, throw some empty baby diapers in there. Anything and everything you can think of that's really nasty and horrible and shred stuff and makes terrible stink. And then when you touch off the fuse, what do you think happens when that goes down that hallway? Nothing good. Yeah, that would be kind of messy to say the least especially the diapers But the broken glass and the old nails and the chunks of whatever you can find that are small and shreddable Preferably, here's a here's a neat one I've told everybody this before we were gonna go through the front to back of what we could do with a car Guys, I'm gonna busted safety glass What does safety glass do when you break it breaks it a little square shards doesn't it guys? I'll figure those shards about an eighth of an inch, right? How thick is the glass? Now you've got these nice little glass cubelets that have sharp edges on all sides. Now it's safety glass because it doesn't do as much damage to you when you go through it because it's got that plastic and all the polymer covering and all that. But if you just walked up and busted a piece of safety glass in a 5 gallon bucket and just kept tapping it all apart and you take out the polymer wrap that's in there and you have nothing but that busted up glass, which by the way you can also do this a lot of walk through doors or safety glass. and so if you already have it on the battlefield it's kinda handy to have a little, you know like a scraper shovel just for this purpose your E2L will work but the spade type are kinda handy because they have a flat blade well all the gravel you can pick up off the ground there and that busted glass oh man that loads up so nice and when it goes down that tube boom! wow that's like a big buck claymore but with nastily stuff that for short range it'll work just fine They used to make barrel cannons. I want to plant the seed on this. You know, we call it fugas. Fugas. Or fuga. Or fugas, as we all know. Fugas! Anyway, 55 gallon barrels is what the guys made in Vietnam. And in fact, I know the sergeant who actually took credit for the original construction of those and it became part of the standard improvised demolitions manual for the day. taking a 55 gallon drum, laying on its side, pointing it towards some place you don't like, bombing it up with earth, running your blasting caps and your charges to the back of the barrel once it's tapped down with earth, putting a piece of cardboard or plywood in there for your baseboard, and then layering and layering and layering more goodies. One of the other recommended things was jellified gasoline. They just used a standard one gallon metal can for that. You do know that, right? So you stick one of those jellified fuel cans right in the middle of all this in the front. and anything close gets napalmed while everything shreds through it and the shredded stuff that's coming in behind it, the old nails, the gravel, the broken glass, chunks of expended brass, shrapnel that somebody else dropped on you that's laying around because that junk's all over the place and you want to get it off from under your feet anyway. Anything you can find. When you cut that loose, The old sergeant actually was not that old when I knew him, but he's older now. He's a lot he's got to be up there. Well, he is up there. I know that but Interestingly enough when they capped it off out to 150 yards and for about 150 yards in a progressive fan from the epicenter out 150 yards at 150 yards, but 150 yard width Everything was mowed down Now you just think about that 55 gallon drum. What about a big old PVC pipe like chunks of industrial PVC pipe you find that have caps on the end of them? They're all over the place and they make great No compact packages for building the same kind of tool See how that works. You can also use cake pans. We know that right the cake pan poor man's claymore works the same way But that's if you have sheet explosives, we're looking at using something that's you know low-tech EC blank powder once again is your friend. Boy, you better be hanging on to all those blanks and not wasting them going pop, pop with them. They have too many other uses if you disassemble them. Do not, do not, do not use that for other types of propellant, although EC blank is quite handy for other devices. Other than that, black powder 1, 2 or 3 will work just fine. And you can even come up with some jellified propellants that will do a good job. So that's just another thought process there. But remember that these football, these football, the bowling ball mortars, well that propane tank or that propane cylinder or oxygen cylinder, that's grossly over-engineered by has to be seamless. So whatever you're going to do with it, it's already built to do. I like that 55 gallon drum idea. You can put about three or four of them on the perimeter and just fire into them and explode them, right? Right. Well, what they were using them for is final defense. Back during the one gentleman I worked with, Mr. L., When he was there he was the second detachment into Vietnam. Now they used 155 artillery pieces because they had a battery. So what they did is the last defense line which was in the inter-perimeter, the artillery pieces were not so much there for indirect fire. They were there for cranking down and short fusing. However, those are all, again, you certainly can reload and reload and reload. They needed more pyrotechnics. And so they came up with a number of different solutions. Well, progressively, as there are more and more unique activities and less material going around, the more troops you put on the ground, the more junk you have to share. And stuff doesn't necessarily get where you want it to go, or you don't get what you ask for. So the purpose behind making up these 55 gallon anti-personnel claymore mines was the fact that all the junk to make them was off the shelf. Which is again why they can be made out of 8 inch PVC pipe, 12 inch PVC pipe. How about 8, 10 or 12 inch well pipe. Cut chunks off, weld a cap on the end and roll them to where you need to. See how that works? Think about it. There's lots of well pipe out there in the oil industry. There's lots of iron pipe and such that's big bore for the gas industry. It's only going to be probably used once. Now the 55 gallon drums are nothing more than sheet metal. I mean when you set them off, they were one time use, but for the one time you used them, pretty much everything in front of them got scraped and nailed to the wall. You know, so it was a poor man's beehive round is what it comes down to. But think about all the junk you can pull off a car. Think of all the garbage and wreckage. This is, but you don't use good stuff. Here's something I gotta remind everybody of. You do it if you have to. You can use nails that are brand new, but why? You need those. There's more than enough junk and broken stuff and wreckage and debris in a battlefield situation. that the unused stuff that you still need, you don't waste that until you're down to your last breath and you know you gotta use, you gotta do something, then you expend everything. But otherwise, you make buckets up. You police the area when garbage gets raked up so you're not stepping and rolling around on debris, which you're supposed to do guys. Well all that chunks of wreckage and debris, pieces of steel, pieces of glass, that all goes into a bucket or a barrel over there. You know, put five gallon pails around. You're in a police area. Let's say you're fighting in an urban warfare situation and they don't show this properly. Most of the time they don't deal with this because people aren't trained. Jumping into a fighting position has a lot of wreckage around it. You don't see that chunk of glass sticking out of that window frame. It would probably be a good idea to prep your area so that you eliminate all the internal obstacles that make you a casualty before you even pull the trigger. See how that works. It really looks cool in the movies, but I'm sorry. There are so many things. I'll never forget sub-zero weather, middle of winter, and we're in a live fire course. It's one to three rounds to get to your next position. I dropped down and the ground was frozen and everything had frozen and gotten wet and then froze again. and I slid real nice until my knee met that big chunk of brick and rock from the ruin there sticking out of the ice and I kind of stopped right there. You know what I mean? And I really got motivated to stop as far as the pain factor, but you got to keep moving. It's a live fire course, guys. There's rounds going downrange behind you, plus you're doing live fire while you're moving. You know, move out, I got you covered, cover me, I'm moving out, etc, etc, etc. I even dropped a mag. Which really pissed me off, but don't worry we had more however. It's the idea that when that happens Well, that's a situation where you can't control it where you're in the environment. You're moving in an offensive mode but in defensive mode remember cartridge cases rolling around under your feet It's kind of like on a pitch and deck if you're not careful, and it doesn't take long to build up empty brass Now on the other hand, that brass can be scooped up. It starts to get quiet, everything is stable. Well guess what? Police the brass, police your material, ship it back to the rear if you can. Any truck coming forward dumping stuff off should be going to the rear with recovered material and with the wounded. See how that works? But if all else fails, all that brass, all those pieces of steel, lead, chunks of broken window get put in a bucket. And the next chance you get, you empty out the bucket, you put your plastic charge in the back of it. You look around for some cardboard to make and cut out with your exacto or with your knife, a rough pack. Put that in there, then you put your glass and everything back in, get another piece of cardboard, make another cake layer, make another cake layer, make another cake layer. If you have to, break off some window frame or some sticks and create a cross to hold the thing in with tension. If you don't have any adhesive or if you don't have any electrical tape or duct tape for around the perimeter, Then you lay that sideways down the hallway with that little activation cord your little activate your little you know power switch with whatever activation, you know batteries you've got and When something comes down the hallway the wrong way or something's in front of you heading towards your position and you're starting to get antsy All you do is hit that switch and all that garbage goes right out the end of that five gallon pail just nice and right downrange right to whoever it is You want to have visited? It's a gimme But you can also take those five gallon pails back because maybe somebody found some 50 gallon or 40 gallon barrels and you decided to go bigger. Everything is constant work, constant think. Even when you're traveling there's all kinds of stuff you may see that you're going to harvest while you move because you might need it later. If you see something that's useful it goes into your little utility pockets. items, small items, it can be nails, tacks, pivots, it can be screws, you see something, there's a handful of something. Remember when you do booby traps or if you do command detonated stuff, guys, you want to be able to get around obstacles so you aren't exposed. Little short pieces of broom handle cut five inches long are very handy tools for lots of projects. Okay? In one instance, if you want to, you drill a hole through the center, you run your pull cord through, you put a tie, a knot or wrap your fish line around that five inch piece of dowel. Now you got a pull handle where you got good control. When you pull on that handle, it activates something down range that you wanted to pull a trigger on or you wanted to pull a pin on. And all of a sudden, boom, away it goes. By the way, all these bowling ball motors can be activated the same way. If you're progressive and thinking, you start to get motivated. But there's all kinds of ways that can be done. If all fails, you can make a directional device. You can fabricate. If you've got 10 by 10s, any kind of big beams, and you've got any kind of uniform, roughly the same shape, well you nail them side by side by side together to create a long box, a rectangular box. Now the center is a tube. It's a square tube. You tap off the other end with whatever you got and again put that in the earth, put the rear end of it in the ground, point it towards where you need to and then follow through on loading it like a cannon. It's a one way device. You're not going to have to worry. It'll work really well that one time. It's not going to work again, but it will work that one time. It doesn't have to be looking like it came from the factory to get the job done. There are all kinds of cool ways you can do mean stuff, but the idea is to constantly be thinking and again, constantly be prepared to improvise. Go ahead. The other day we were looking through some stuff on the internet and I noticed some cold weather face masks. I'm looking for them again and I don't remember where it was. If it was Sarcos. Do you happen to remember that? and So there's a couple companies down south that I know have them. We're talking a good price. I'm talking like three, four dollars a piece. Yeah. And guys, they're worth it. Now those again, even if they're designed to be a toss away as if need be, but those typically come with three of the face covers that are like dust covers that go over the the breather port area where your nose and your mouth are. And that's to deal with frosting, which it was so you know, I don't ain't talk talking cake frosting. We're talking as in freezing up. Every time you breathe, you're moving moisture. And that is a real issue. In fact, let me point something out. Go take a look at mountain climbers and arctic explorers. Take a look at their faces and understand that the latest in vogue thing to do, guys, they don't. They just sweat most things until they load them up with sweat and moisture and then they have another batch of clothing dropped off to them nowadays. or they're carrying a second set. They don't worry about drying out the clothing because that's more energy. So they cheat. What they do is they'll have helicopters or aircraft drop in more clothing and they change out from the clothing because of the moisture buildup. And the problem with these synthetics is unlike the like wool and the other natural products, When synthetics load up with moisture, they're like a radiator. They pull the core heat right out of you. It's the only thing to remember. These face masks are cool though because, well warm, not cool. We're looking for them guys and if you see them anywhere, they're white. They have an eye-width point for your eyes but they have a, looks like an area where with Velcro, a face cup that's made up out of a dust cup type system like you have for, well like the people are wearing for the Ebola stuff, you know, or you seem wearing the dust safety masks. Three of those come with every mask. You do get spares but if you do get them and you're going to carry them, go grab a Ziploc bag, put your spares in the Ziploc bags, one each, and then put those in your gear. In fact, even roll up a spare bag. And the reason, if you are going to keep them, because you could dry them out, what you want to do is if you use them, don't just stick them in your pocket and don't stick them in your gear. Take a Ziploc bag, put the used one, which is wet, even though it's frozen up maybe, put that in the Ziploc bag, then put it under your armpit or put it in your crotch where you're putting inside your pants and your underpants. and your body heat will warm that back up and to a degree pull the moisture out. Not going to do everything but it will work. I thought, what would you do? I thought, I'm going to smell terrible. Well, you're going to smell terrible after three or four days in the field anyway. You don't want to think about what you'll smell like after 20 days. Well, I don't see the sarco or arco. This was black and it had like a Velcro nose and a mouth closed. Oh, you're talking about the green ones. I think it was black. They are OD green. They look dark, but they are OD green. That is the other model. Forgive me. That one, yes. Those may be Italian sometimes. There is NATO, Italian and US. Most of those are NATO and Italian though that I have seen. You got me wondering, but check Coleman's. That would be your first. I did. I just did. Okay, then let's see. Who else are we talking about? Well, we brought up CD arrow. Forgive me, we brought up Cope's Distributing and they have surplus. Cope's Distributing. Okay, E-Circle Inc. was one. Gunparts Corp was another. Coleman's. And then Cope's Distributing. And then Cope's Distributing is kind of weird because they do have surplus. They're mostly a new item store, but they do have surplus. So they might have it there. The other option, oh, you know what the other option? KeepShooting.com. I mentioned those earlier. And what was the other one? It was distributing. And when you go to COPES, their surplus section is, let's see, COPES apparel, no, miscellaneous, blowout sales, I know it's not there, air guns, surplus, bulk lots, card gifts, sporting goods, hunting gear, maybe with COPES in there, hunting gear, even though it should be in the surplus section. I don't guess it was CD&N. Yeah, CDN and investments. I don't know they have some stuff like that, but not very much. Whatever they have it's very limited and that's why they'll probably be a good price. The other was JG sales. JG. Out of Prescott, Arizona. Okay, I'm going to start looking. Well, wait a minute. Now we're going right down to the shopping list. Boy, we're going to jump all over the planet, but let's check center fire systems out. Okay. How about center fire systems? Because you know what? That sounds like... Let's see, belts, cases, bandoliers, eyewear, holsters. You've got my curiosity up because I wasn't talking about them, but if you ran into them, I wouldn't be surprised. Clothing, camping, accessories and all. Let's go to surplus. Let's go to clothing. Accessories, inclement weather. Wait a minute, there we go. Clothing, inclement weather. Let's try inclement weather. Well, because it should be in there, because the mask would be in there. I don't see them there, but that doesn't mean they're in another category. But they do have a lot of other cold weather items that came from Sturm. I know that. Something new that they have right here. Swiss Black Leather Gators. Now the Swiss use those to protect, because they actually use a low quarter boot. But those are also for rock protection. That's what those are for. Those are about the height of a regular boot. Okay, I don't see them right there, but that does mean you're around and that's an interesting item. I know exactly what you're talking about. There's three models that are out there, but the one you're talking about, it's actually a dark green. It's not black. It shouldn't be black. It was OD green. Just simply because, remember, a lot of times you're working in the forest, you know, like pine forests and such. Yeah, I said call it a cold weather mask, but you could tell it was pretty substantial and you'd pretty much like to have it on. If a bah-bah or something went off in front of you or something, you probably would have gone. Well, it keeps you gravel and dirt down. It's more of a vinyl the way these sandals are made. The one you're talking about has more like a vinyl feel to it. It looked like leather, but I think it was vinyl. Yeah, it is. It's got a felt backing too. That's the one. Now we're just going to have to track it down, figure out where it is. Well, okay. I'm going to start trying to do that right here right now. I know that Sturm has them because they've got them by the bin full and their military surplus. They're brand new but they're military surplus. Sturm? It's a wholesaler. You can't buy from them direct but I know they have them and that's who supplies everybody. There are certain things that only certain parts of the industry have, like one company supplies and Sturm is one of those companies. That's what they do. They're the people that have all the HK-91 mags. Maybe a million. A million HK mags that came in. That came in through one company and they still have, whatever's left, they have in the warehouse. Is that simple? Yeah, I got a bunch of them. Yeah. Now, let's see. Otherwise, now in cold weather gear, because we are coming up on it, these face masks are a good idea. Again, remember it's one thing to go out and visit the cold. It's another thing to go out and stay in the cold. Just something to think about, guys. The Italian ones are the ones that have the zipper face. They actually look like something out of an S&M episode of, you know, like witches of Schmidlappville. It actually has a zipper where the mouth is. My only problem is it looks like it's a metal zipper. I hope it would be plastic because metal would be very bad because metal commutes cold really well. And so having that next to my lips would not be my first part. First choice of things to have in cold weather you get madriff. Where are you seeing that? Oh, no, they're available. They're out there several of the companies. They're Italian. You'll find them in white and you'll see them in a green. And they're in surplus right now. There's a bunch of Italian stuff that just came in in the last month or two. Those items have been up and down. They've come in in a wave and they've disappeared, but they're back in stock again with a couple of the companies. I'm still thinking keep shooting calm is most likely who you want to look at but I'll tell you what we'll do is we'll search around for that because we're almost well no worth of bottom there or break we got enough time military surplus the Of course, it's military surplus It may be sportsman's guide also. Oh, oh, oh, well, here we go. Okay, it's Arctic extreme cold weather mass keep shooting calm How do you like that went into their surplus section first page? One two three four lines down, but this is the what this is the cold weather American when I was talking about it Arctic extreme cold weather Three dollars and ninety five cents apiece guys. That's a steal That's a very good price for these four dollars apiece and again Arctic extreme cold weather mass now. These are the white ones now. You're thinking about something for Just covering the face for keeping splatter him dust and debris away from you, right? Yeah, it'll be pretty good at night, too. Right, that's what you're looking for. Yeah, this is for our people that are thinking cold weather extreme. $3.95 apiece. $4 for these is a very good price. Now, this covers the ears, the front of the face. There's an eyelet area that's open. Okay, I'll keep shooting. Is it military service? www.keepshooting.com and then go to that military surplus section and start scrolling through that. That may have been where you saw what we're talking about as far as the other mass goes. Okay. And again, they've got many many many many pages. So if everybody wants to pitch in, maybe the guys in the chat room have seen something already and post the site and then we'll hunt it down and act accordingly. There are, I'll tell you another place to go for that kind of item where you might like the product. Go to the airsoft spot. Yeah, because they do face protection and all of its camouflaged and if you're worried about kick-up The nice thing is it even covers the eyes You can get them there. They're just half masks where they cover the lower part of the face or you can get the Cyber tech type where they actually cover the whole face one of the first companies to do that was right up here in Michigan just down the road from where I'm sitting and In fact, they have their own molds and they make their own So, you know again just give you an idea I'll tell you what, I'll tell you who had some good prices, check this one out. Go to www.airsoft-club.com. That's www.air-clubclubclub.com. Okay? Now, when you get there, when you go to www.airsoft.com, thanks J.D., he's one of our friends that's posting the Arctic's extreme cold weather in the chat room. Guys, if you're up north, that's a hell of a price. If you're up in Dakota, if you're up in Montana, Michigan, Wisconsin, any place near the lakes where it's wet and cold, that is a hell of a price for those for $4 because they've been going for a lot. They've been going for a lot more but they're not in vogue right now because they don't look as cool as other stuff. Now go to the cool stuff and useful. If you go to airsoft-club.com, go over to the left there and you'll see a number. There is specials. I always love specials. I love clearance and I love specials. And if you go to specials, there's some really neat stuff in there, actually even on the regular page. Let's see if we can go to I think it's page two of the specials is where the helmets. Yeah, there you go There's face protection for you right there and that's designed to protect prevent kick-up projectiles like BBs and stuff like that from getting through and That includes a wrap around but wrap around the ears helmet protection kind of thing You can still wear a helmet with this by the way But this is designed to be like an over wrap for everything with if you're not going to wear a helmet It works by itself. They run about $17 to $24 a piece. They come in different camouflage. Airsoft Club. Airsoft Dash Club. Thank you. They call these like the Black Bear, Airsoft, Pretorian Skull, Razor Mask, Italian Camel. Black bear, airsoft stalker, praetorian, rampage mask, ACU camo. Basically they're actually they're cut on the line of some of the sci-fi stuff slash the animes stuff that's going you know that's out there. If you look farther down they have partials that cover the cheeks, the chin, the face, like the mouth and the nose, but still all for the upper part of the face. Say those specials. Go to specials. Okay. And go to page two of specials. Okay. And they also offer the Praetorian and all these others in Earth Brown, Coyote Brown, OD Green, Marpat, every camo you can imagine they build these things in, but these are the ones that are marked down on sale. So, if you want to experiment, this is the way to experiment. I wouldn't buy them for full price. Hey, wherever you can get them cheaper, get one you think looks close to what you want, try it. They are interesting because they cover the face in such a way that there is no way to ID the person. I'm surprised somebody hasn't thought of using this for projects for that reason. Because it's a mesh screen cover that goes over the face. Oh, that's what that is. Yeah. It's designed so it's contoured. It's obvious it's supposed to be a human face, but you can't tell whose it is. See how that works? I see now that that's a mesh. Yeah, it's a mesh material, but it's a rigid mesh. This is not soft, something just lays over the face. This is rigid. It's a molded piece of material. Cool. And if you look, there are some back shots and side shots so you get an idea of how it works. I don't see that. and an overview of what the thing looks like laid out when it's not in use. I'm looking at it right now. There you go. And that's about as cool. In fact, they've got it in the Italian Veggitata, which is math either way. It's such a small area to be camouflaged. Pick whichever camel you like, but I go the cheapest. You can get Marpat for $17 as opposed to the Pretorian Italian camel for 20 well for three dollars less at the ranges you're gonna as small an areas that is Any cam will break it up into look fine You know you don't I mean another always want to go to eat green or something you know for instance the Mar pad is You know marine digital, so it's got all of the OD It's got all the woodland colors in it that would be fine says it's made by high-grade low carbon steel mesh. Yep That's pretty good something down once a little bullet down It will keep the kick up from hitting you in the face. Again, it is the other option as opposed to ballistic face masks with Lexan plastic or whatever. Personal choice. It would be interesting because it also does not allow for anybody to be able to idea there is no way to get a picture of the face. It is kind of nice. You'll notice that all the guys out there are using bollock lavas that are fighting in all of these wars now. They're all wearing ski masks and face masks. Has everybody noticed that? I've noticed special as we're doing that back in the 90s. Yes. Well now everybody's doing it so it's like well you won't figure out who anybody is which is interesting because this would be kind of cool. It would actually be neat. Only psychologically and that everybody running around with these a whole unit with these all in a form. You know the Starship trooper stuff. And again guys, I'm sorry people worship stuff like this. You know what I mean? I'm serious. It's like oh, oh ski mask. Oh, it's scary It's like yeah shoot him. What he's wearing a ski mask. He must be one of them, right? No, no, he's one of us. Hold on. Hold on. Oh, okay. Okay. Well wait up See this mark. I was I was in a TA truck stop fuel my truck today and I walked in and they had full camo gear Camo everything I couldn't believe it in a truck stop Oh, over the truck stop? Yeah, depending on where you are, like on 75 there's some really cool spots down in Kentucky and Tennessee, headed southbound, what is it, on the east side, west side? Yeah, is this actually where it was? Yeah, up there in the middle of nowhere, what is that? Oh, come on, Loves? Was it the Loves stop? No, it was TA. Oh, okay. Yeah, I mean, it was where the... Is that a strip club? A what? T&A is that a strip club? No, no, no. It's probably the same place... Wait a second. I know what T&A is. I've always thought that whoever thought that name up wasn't thinking. You know what I mean? It probably is the same place you're thinking about, Dad. It's just been bought out by that company. They're all over the place. Yeah, they have camo chairs, camo hoodies. Really nice, but the camel is kind of goofy looking though. I mean it was you know Well, it's like I said, there's been a bunch of interesting stuff that's been showing up at Walmart But out of the gauge of it now the stuff that I saw That one of the guys was showing me that he was wearing he was over at one of the stores here You know, he was I just caught him by accident and it was cheap and it's in a it's like a military real tree It's like a cross. It's actually kind of interesting. It's I've never seen the pattern before but it's a good pattern and The big thing is, again, trying to put your unit all together in the same gear. But if you're looking for individual stuff, like if you're going to be DDing the AO from the truck and maybe having to go across country or something, or maybe go down the road but get out of the way once in a while, hey, if that camo is reasonably priced and it looks like it will work, it doesn't make any difference what pattern it is, think the idea that what the eyes cannot see, the heart does not long for. Yeah. especially when you have to sit you know as things get progressively worse the idea is you're trying to trek to wherever you want to go to be safe you all got to be careful on that and just don't talk to people and stay out of people's way well if they can't see you they're not going to bother you. Yeah but I'm seeing camel with more and more truck stops all over the country it's not just in that area that you're talking about I mean I don't know is she cutting a more normal amount of self camel I don't know. Well part of it is also the price because I've been dealing I've been looking at the importers If you're willing to buy 3,000 to 5,000 pieces at a time, you can get it down to a couple dollars a unit, which is expected. I've always tried to explain it to everybody. Every time you go back through the service prices, guys, retail to wholesale cut in half. It's also in fashion this time of year. Right, yeah, that's the other thing. We're into the hunting season, which nobody's thinking about it because of all the other garbage going on. You know, it's true. One of the things I've been mentioning this in the morning, guys, nobody is talking about the hunting season. They're talking about personal defense. I mean, even if you listen to any of the, we've got a couple of local gun, pro gun gun programs that are done on the AM stations. and there is not focus on hunting and its hunting season. The discussion is how can I carry a gun to shoot people? And seriously, everybody talking is like they have some woman up today and she's like, oh yeah, I carry a gun and you know, it's hard to carry it when you're wearing a dress and you know, she explained, you know, what she's learned from what she's done. And it's common sense, you know, it's really cool that she was explaining for the ladies, you know, hey, you know, you're best carrying the gun on you because people are usually after your purse, you know. But if you do have the gun in your purse, there's a lot of good breakaway purses that actually where you drop it down and it's like a shoulder holster, guys. Where you just flop open the side of it and the gun's right there and bop, bop, bop, bop, boy you go. One of the other things I want to bring up here real quick because these are dirt cheap and this is a good price because they got a marked half off. Tactical CQB heavy-duty rigger belts now I have some of the first actually These originally were made from cargo straps and most of them that anybody was selling up until Maybe the last few years, that's all they are, but what they are is a cargo belt with a standard keeper hook off to the side. Well, they just left it the way it is. What it's used for is, in addition to anything else, is for hooking up a safety reel, your safety belt too, if you're in an aircraft or a piece of equipment. But it also is a quick, cheap, stable rig for doing a quick repel connect. There are all kinds of solutions of things you can do with it but these are a cargo belt material. Now these are brand new. Again I will walk through it one more time. Go to airsoft-club.com then go to specials then go to page 2. The second line down they have tactical CQB small size belts $3.50. They've got size large belts, OD, $3.50. Now let me give you a little hint. If you are medium or small, the large would fit you. Hint, hint, hint. More belt is always better. I've talked about this, but I haven't mentioned in a while. Guys, don't let anybody convince you to cut cargo straps down or to cut down the straps on your backpacks or gear. That's what electrical tape is for or duct tape. What you do is you roll up or you flatten out those those those straps and you tape them together, but you don't cut the extra off. You don't know what you might have to hook up later and carry and if you can't get if you if you're a if you can't get a small belt, well come on, it's a belt that goes around your waist and A large belt simply has more material but it will still go around your waist if you're a smaller or medium. So for $3.50 that's a hell of a buy for those things. It's a good price. And again that's at airsoft-club.com. It has a retainer, it's a triangular pyramid type hanger on the left, normally carried on the right side. But depending on how you wear your belt, pull it either way, it's going to be on the left or on the right. It's designed, it's on a carbon, it's high carbon steel, typically park-arised, though it can also be, any number of different phosphate finishes are used. But the idea behind it is that pyramid, the way it is, it works as a place to hook up a safety clip hooked up to a strap so that if you're in the back of a piece of equipment, you don't just roll out the rear hatch, that kind of thing. It also can be used with other equipment. Like I said, a quick stable rig, a quick hasty belt for doing a short repel. I wouldn't want to do 50 or 100 feet with it, but if I had to I guess I would. It wouldn't come apart. It wouldn't break, it wouldn't come apart. One thing about repelling you've got to remember is the longer, the farther you go and the faster you go, the more calories you build up on the equipment. And what happens is if you have metal on metal in a stable rig or whatever and you run a rope through it or near it, you know, I know there's a patch to it, guys, the calories commute to the metal, the metal gets hot enough to melt the plastic and it will burn through things. Now that sounds weird and you're only repelling, I mean come on, repelling rope, you're only doing 120 feet, right? Well you're doing 100 feet because it's 120 foot rope but you've got to tie it off and you've got to have some hang and typically you'll run some slack for a belay man down below. But if you're using a metal ring, which typically everybody is, like if you're using an O ring, a D ring or one of these figure eights, You go too fast and you go too far too fast, well, sometimes these people only experience this once. Before they get a chance to break, the heat building up on the metal is enough to cut through the belt or through the rope. Not the rope you're hanging on here or sliding on, that's creating the friction. The equipment that's holding you to the rope, it can burn through. So always remember that if you're using a single safety line like this which is again the belt that goes around your waist, understand that as the rope is passing through the hookup it will commute calories from the carabiner to that fixture. Now you will feel it as you're going down and amazingly enough It's just enough length when you're doing a hundred feet if you go if you do a single drop repel Which everybody oh that looks really cool. Yeah, it really does unless you make a mistake when you go to the breaking end and In most cases when I've seen the mistakes. They're not intentional. It's just the equipment is cooked it cooks through I've seen that twice So again, rule number one, if you got 100 feet or more, at the very least you break up the repel with three breaks where you do three temporary stops. You don't have to be a target hanging in the breeze, but you bring your speed down and you retard it and then you speed up again and retard it and then the third you should be on the ground. Not fling, laying flat on the ground and dead, you should be standing on the ground and walking away from the rope shouting off repel. Make sure you got good rope. Oh yeah, but any rope will do. It's the same rule. First of all, I would not try to do this with that belt if I could help it, but it was designed for this purpose, or at least it was improvised and brought into service for this. Any rope can be used. Obviously, hemp rope is used forever, but the quality of the rope is especially critical, and green line is still your best choice, though there are commercial lines available too. I just like the idea that I can get green line for a good price. It was built to mill spec or typically as mill contract and they'll hang them if it doesn't work with the same rope. Know what I mean? If you don't build it right, we will come and find you and we will hang you with the rope that you made us. How does that sound? So, just things to think about, but that is a good choice and it's at, again, airsoft-club.com. These are tactical CQB heavy duty rigger belts. They're OD green. They've got them in size small and they have them in size large. If it's size large, it will fit a lot of big people, so that's a good choice. The mesh masks, there's a number that they have on sale. It's not that many, I think it's what we were talking about. If you want to take a look at them, go to specials, go to page two. Now this company and their specials section, as long as I'm here talking about equipment, and it is Thursday when it's not Quartermaster Friday, but they have a bunch of, for all of you who are really having the hots for multicam. They have a bunch of multi-cam items in the markdown section that are like one third off or more. Example, they've got a Transformers Tactical Shoulder Go backpack pack bag, multi-cam for $10. This is rectangular, it's like a rifle bag. I've told you about this before. It would be a very good choice for medics because of the way it's got several compartments. and a main long chamber but for those you want other you know to do other work with it hey pick your project. They've got those over shoulder bags for 10 that are multi cam and they also have the other ditty bags and shoulder bags in woodland and in multi cam or in other colors. So take a look you know anywhere from six to seven to eight dollars Like I said, from this side alone you can put a person in a pretty nice rig and not spend hundreds of dollars but still end up with equipment more than serviceable enough. Let me give you a hint. When somebody says, well, it's aerosol stuff, let me point something out. Guys, we test a lot of this stuff out. We beat the living snot out of this stuff and it didn't fall apart. Now, is it the most expensive and it's made with the best Cordura? No. Is it serviceable enough to get you in and out of something? Yes. And again, for $20, $15, $10, $6 an item, $3 an item, we're talking like whole systems. You can buy an entire shoulder bag system for $8.40. Main pouch, secondary chambers, MOLLE point stations for hanging on the garbage the whole nine yards. So this is a good solution. And for instance, CamelBak Tactical MOLLE Assault Backpack. ACU camo, $23.10. This is an extensive system that is made up to the MOLLE gear. It's got a lower fanny pack pouch, main chamber, it's got a camo back chamber inside, and it's got side pouches and more MOLLE connectors. So it can be modified however you want. It's an ACU, but they have others in Woodland, OD Green or whatever. The big thing right now is everybody's looking to try to get chem gear up and still outfit troops. Go ahead, who do we have? I was listening to Joe McNeil this morning. Last night I sat there and put down a religious channel on my satellite TV and came across in his preacher thanking his congregation for raising $800,000 to get his used L-1011 so he could take the gospel around the world. But yet Joe asked for money. to keep his radio station afloat. He gets vilified. Yet this creature gets hundreds of thousands of dollars. He bought an L-1011 for $800,000? I used one. Do you know how big an L-1011 is? Do you know what that is? That's a jumbo jet. That's an L-1011, a DC-10, L-1011 and 747 are all in the same category in terms of lift potential. The L-1011 is a really sweet plane, but again, my ministry needs an L-1011! Well, I cannot drive in luxury to the next promised land. Well, that just means we need to do a Brother Stare thing. We need to have a separate program. And I ain't talking. BC's coming up next, and he's got a good message. So don't you think I'm joking about Christianity? But I'm tired of these people like this. By the way, He's going to be taking this, okay, I understand he's had, you know, some issues I take care of. Yeah, he want me to say hi to everybody, though. He said make sure you say hi to Henry and Mark and everybody on the set. We appreciate it, Glenn. Again, go ahead. My day Joe should ask for, I need funds for $7.47. Maybe not one to fly it, but to say I chop up and make it into a house. Right, we're going to just cut into a tube and make it look giant Oscar Meyer Wiener advertisement. And I think people will probably give. Yeah, they might give money for that. Well, again, we've got to do what we've got to do and we've got to do what we've got people. And if people are going to have to make a decision, but what he's talking about, he is serious about in the morning. You can only go so far. And these companies, they have to be taken care of, and if they're not, I mean, they are being decent. A lot of these companies have been pretty decent in general, but there's a level of technology. To maintain the level of technology, you have to have the money coming in to do it. And it's just because that bill's there every month. So people are going to make a choice. And it's like everything else we're talking about. We are at the top though, guys. And BC will be coming up next on tape. God bless the Republic. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. We're on a march both day and night. New Rock! Keep them in a slat. Beat them down so hard they wish to god they didn't show up and must beat them with the alligators. Oh, wait a minute. Oh, that's the alligators. We didn't like the taste of that. Nah, just bury them face down in pig feces with a handful of lard in their mouth. and then unmarked the grave, make sure that only a rumor of their destruction returns to where they came from and then we'll go find the management that sent them and do it all over again.
