Mark Koernke discussed preparedness and field improvisation techniques, focusing on medical supply organization in 5-gallon buckets for field surgery support, and extensive instruction on building flexible radio antennas from salvaged materials like tape measures and articulated desk lamps. He covered antenna construction methods used by Vietnam-era radio operators, including jungle antennas and dipole configurations, along with field-expedient modifications using cork, tennis balls, and bungee cords. Koernke also addressed ammunition availability through AmmoMan.com, discussing 223 and other caliber pricing and inventory, and touched on the Bundy Ranch situation as part of ongoing federal land disputes. The episode concluded with a transition to a gardening segment hosted by Joe from the Carolinas.

A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat. And speaking low to me, he said, we've fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. The tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. You 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 won't 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 torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he'd 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 trample each God given right we only watch him tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Is this still the land of the free? CQ CQ CQ this is K double a three five niner echo echo Foxtrot you copy over CQ CQ this is K double a three five nine or echo echo Foxtrot this your tango Foxtrot you copy over well good afternoon ladies and gentlemen this is the Second hour of the afternoon intelligence report time our quirky One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines and 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&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 the third, the fifth, and our friends in the recall state of Colorado. Waving to the left coast where we have the great state of Jefferson, We turn back to the East week across Plains Leap over the burgeoning banks of the Mississippi line on the Smoky slash the Blue Ridge where the restaurant crews are grabbing teams, OK teams, and the Monville Grammar Consortium bring us the Golden Spike. Today, Tuesday, communications Tuesday. Do you have your batteries? Did you pick up your radios? Do you have the CB in the vehicle? Do you know what's going on? You certainly do. Now, did you get the shopping list done and out of the way? Well, whatever you got to finish up, I highly recommend doing it. We got the clock ticking down again towards the next event horizon. We already have two of the three biological weapons attacks against America by the regime already in place. Third one coming up out of Haiti. So that will be of course another act of open war against the American people and an act of hatred of our nation, our heritage, our people, our sovereignty. Oh well. Hell, everybody's got to die sometime, Red. Oh man. Well, we don't plan on that being us. The idea is, again, no matter what, focus on the bad guys. There's a whole sea of them all there's thousands in front of us Yep And I'm gonna kill every last one of them until I get to that one way over there on the other side with that three-piece suit with the binoculars Fact to tell you what why don't you swing around from behind him and well you get him first and we'll meet in the middle What do you say? Hacking and chopping rules kids hacking and chopping rules Anyway, music, one of the things we're pointing out, micro FM stations, good afternoon to 94.5 FM. One of our micro FM stations carrying Liberty Tree radio 24-7. I understand that the sister station is doing the micro effect 24-7. That's okay, whatever you're going to tune into, make it happen. Do what you can to plug it in and keep up the good work. There are a bunch of fascinating things going on right now with signal communications, not the least of which is the micro-FM's. Even if you're not going to hook them up, you need to have them set up. And you need to do them as quickly as you can. There's not a whole lot of time to lose. We've got too many things going on that are going to require immediate emergency signal communications. Now there's other things we're going to need to deal with. One of the things I did last night, somebody had gotten rid of a whole bunch of medical supplies and I had one of our friends that donated a little bit, so I bucketed it all up last night. Now that's just an ongoing process. The Square 5 gallon pastry pails, they are perfect for medical support items, especially for doing resupply pod equipment. In this case, the first bucket, the second one I've got to pack up tonight, the second one's an oxygen and irrigation bucket. It's, you know, again designed to help with a light surgical support element in a field surgery. The first one, compresses, splints, tape, pins, 4x4s, 3x3s, 2x2s, rolled gauze, rolled gauze, more rolled gauze, and sterile fields along with one of the five, no six, air splints. Now that bucket has everything to be, you know, hand over to a field medic so that he can keep you from bleeding to death or to go to a field surgery so that they'll have perishables that they can go through because he will be going through quite a few. They wouldn't necessarily need the air splint On the other hand, depending upon your level of developed medical support, you are going to be able to commit to, or you'll be good to be able to commit to, the air splints in place of improvised splinting in the field. That's going to happen a lot. There's no medic that can carry enough splints to deal with the problems that he's going to be dealing with. So, very quickly you start improvising, adapting and overcoming by using all that you've learned to fabricate splints to support limbs in the field or for that matter, torsos. Oh, you thought that splinting was just done with arms and legs? Might want to do a little research, especially with chest cavity injuries, lateral left or right, you know, left side, right side. Guys, we don't want to put any more stress or do any more damage where we have bone fragmentation or splintering. We want to make sure again that we minimize interaction of the damaged tissue. So chest splinting is another solution that is going to be part of the formula. Little hint on that if you're in the field. If all else fails, granted the guy might have shock armor on so you might not necessarily want to put that too far from him because you can take it off Velcro, you can get to the part that's damaged and patch him up and keep him from bleeding to death. Interestingly enough, to help to support that body, that rigid plating will get the job done. Now granted, he might be labored in breathing, which means that weight is going to have an effect, either Kevlar or steel. And you know, a lot of these guys, you're all there buying steel plate. Remember, how much does it weigh? Well, if you're healthy and wheezing around in the woods, that's one thing. But if you're wheezing on a stretcher or you have to sit up to keep you from drowning in your own fluids, so you keep the casualties sitting up so they can expirate or you can evacuate with other technologies. One of those is kind of like tapping a maple tree. You can actually tap the lung after you've reinflated it and you can pull the fluid out of the base of the lung using gravity. Gravity sucks. and in the process keep the lung clear so the patient can continue to breathe. Oxygen is a good thing. Without it you don't last very long. So there are a lot of quick little tricks that can be done. They're not happy camper situations for the patient. But let's see, suffocation in your own body fluids or perhaps irrigating through the use of a terminus pipe, a line or hose. A number of different tricks work there to include utilizing glass, although it's not as in vogue anymore, it's still useful or a solution, glass tubing. The other option is obvious intravenous line, however it needs to be thick walls, it's got to be able to handle going through tissue. And typically, like a trichiotomy, you're going to do a slit, you're going to work in between the ribs or at the base of the rib cage. but you've got muscle packs you're going to have to be working through in the process. So remember that that's clamping. Your muscles constantly are flexing, and in fact as an injured party while the muscles may actually go slack in the area of injury, in many cases they do just the reverse to compensate for that muscle pack failure and they tighten up and create a more difficult mass to work with. If you got to get around it. On the other hand, there's also another way of supporting that area, that tissue and the damage that's been done. Anyway, ideas. Medical is another problem. Radio. Single communications, guys. Another thing. Flexible wire and rigid antennas. We've talked about these before. Rigid antennas. Well, how about that single dipole standard magnet mount antenna you got in your car? as opposed to a flexible antenna, wire line, guide wire. Here's a neat trick, you can use tape measures. Now I've noticed, I just looked in the dollar store today, used to be, you could find in the dollar store, two or three different flavors of, or in other words, sizes of, tape measures. They come and go in terms of being in vogue as a China Sport junk item. Right now, not so much there, kids. So, watch construction sites for where they're getting rid of, oh that's right, usually have like 100 foot measuring tapes and that line tape, what will happen to the spring breaks, the hull breaks, now they got this tape or the tape itself breaks. Well, they don't like that. Well, there's two things you can do with that. Either A, here if you want to construct a static, but what we call a gorilla or a field antenna, You take a pop rivet kit and you take that tape measure, you start out by layering four layers with your first tier about two feet long. Not hard to figure out because your tape measure is measured in inches, isn't it? Yeah. Then the next length is another two foot section and it is two pieces that are cut the same length. And you round out the ends with your tin snips so they aren't real pointy. Then you make a single double tape again, another set only about a foot long. And once you're done, set all those down, drill holes at the ends about one quarter or half an inch away from the end of the tape, probably a half inch, quarters of a little tight. Some of the metal nowadays isn't as thick as it used to be. And you take your steel rivets and you rivet the two lower pieces, there are four pieces, two on either side of the two foot long piece and rivet that together. The bottom of the middle piece, the top of the four bottom pieces. Two on one side, two on the other for the bottom piece, two in the middle. You then take the other set of dipole, the one foot piece, Take the top, you haven't riveted anything too yet with the double strap. Take the other two double straps, stick them inside the first two in the middle. and rivet all of those together. Now get a good tight rivet on that. You can use aluminum, you could use brass, but use steel because that's going to help with conductivity. Everything will transfer metal, but I like steel. And it's also cheap, by the way. Now what did I just make? Well, I'll tell you what, for any of you old military radio operators, if you can recognize anything at all, well, maybe you need some help. Go get yourself some OD Green spray paint. Now, spray paint that tape measure set that we just riveted together. And what did we just make? Well, that looks just like my flexible Bush antenna. It used to be on my ANPRC8, or my ANPRC9, or my ANPRC10, Vietnam. Or it could have been my ANPRC25, or your 77, if you were one of those later troopers. Depends on the unit you were with. That's right. That's how they made jungle antennas guys originally They were our rows in the field that said hey I need to make meself an antenna that can walk through the woods without me Digging my head or pulling my headset back or ripping my back Oh, yeah out of place You know those long whip antennas work the static ones which by the way are still in your radio quit when you get out where you're you know in the open or where you're in a fixed position But that jungle antenna the first of them were made by innovative RO's in the field who said, hey we need something that's going to be able to bend and flex and doesn't bust so I can continue to use my radio so I can call in artillery or maybe I can talk to the higher command so they can keep us from being overrun by the Vietnamese or even earlier still the Chinese oh yeah this idea had been around for a while and most of the RO's they were taught to do it or actually what they did is it was passed on people share knowledge But that's all that those flexible jungle those those bush slash jungle antennas are you take a close look? You can build them all day now. What about your base? You need a flexible base instead or that's what they prefer Was a flexible base. That's not a problem There's a number of different places you can go if it was still the 50s 60s and 70s you could go to Anybody that had a junk shop and you'd find these articulated lamps. It used to go on the desk and You know, the ones with a neck that would bend any way you wanted and had the cable running through them, you know, the plug running through them to the light bulb, and the light bulb was in a metal shield like a cone. Remember those? Well, if you take that base and you unscrew it from the other base that the radio is attached to, you know, forgive me, that the light is attached to, the base that holds the light up, holds the fixture up. and you unscrew the light bulb and the cone thing, you don't need that, you're going to take those off. You now have the exact same basic tool that those radio operators improvised. Oh, that's right, look at that, it's just like the one you have on your PRC antenna, but it's a little cruder. Now you're going to take one or two little keeper nuts that are used and fixture clamps that are used for conduit. You're going to be able to take the tape, clamp it into that fixture, drill another hole, affix your cable and connector line, and then run it through that same articulated bendable arm that you've got. And at the other end I'm going to make a fixture or base with a piece of L stock metal I can cut or I can find from a car wreck, whatever. I need a small piece so that I can lock that little piece of metal onto a frame like a backpack board frame or a new molly plastic frame. I'm going to run my connector cable up and to my radio where I have my little punch points and I'm going to run both lines from my little jungle antenna right into the side of that radio. You push down, you've got a little space, you run the wire through, you let it go, the spring attaches it and pushes it back up. Push the other one down, do the same again. If you're less sophisticated because your radio doesn't have that, military radios do by the way. Then you can always use wire nuts and a connector. How do you like that? Wow, it's all done. By the way, don't forget Mr. Electrical Tape is your friend. And more is always better. Not too much because we don't need a big ball of electrical tape. But remember to pay attention to how you wrap and overlap and wrap to create a water seal. There are a number of other options you have. Yes, I do believe in using wire nuts. Yes, I'm anal retentive. I use wire nuts and I use the electrical tape. Yeah, yeah, I want to make sure it doesn't come apart in the field. My life is probably dependent upon the communications work that I do along with all my friends. So I want to make sure my equipment works. Just a little idea there. It could be important. Maybe not. I'm not sure. But, you know, life is fun. Anyway, and it's good to keep around for a while. Stick around as long as you can anyway. So, again, these are simple antennas. The flexible mount, the type that we're talking about there, is still a dipole, still a mono-fillament system. It's a mono-line system. The other type are string and line and insulators everywhere. We talked about insulators on the air before. They can be made from glass, they can be made from wood, they can be made from plastic, they can be made from anything that you can improvise. Just make sure that your line is not grounded out to your guy wires that hold that line in tension. Now there's a number of different tricks using even bungee cord. Another cool trick are inner tubes. You know, bicycle inner tubes. Oh yeah, don't throw your bicycle under tubes away. You can make them 100 rubber bands for your web gear with those, which again every once in a while you can do that. But remember that if you take that inner tube and you wrap it around a tree and you have another S hook, remember that you now have a tension, a rubber tension flexor device like a spring. That S hook, you take one end of the tire, put it around the S hook. The S hook should be about, each S should be about an inch and a half in diameter. You can buy them at Harbor Freight, you can buy them at tractor supply. Basically, kind of like the same hooks you have on the end of bungee cords. The industrial ones like you truck drivers use. Now, you wrap the tire around the tree, you've got it still connected, it's not cut. and you have a big rubber band. And no matter how big the tree is, when you stretch that rubber band around the tree and you hook it up to that S fixture, you then close the other part of the S to the point where you have very little of any access to it. You want just enough so you can slide stuff around that little keeper on the end, that little bend in the end. What you've got now is a flexible tensor that allows you to very quickly taut a radial line. Not complicated. I used to keep two of these in my radio kit with a PRC-77. Remember with the kit you have basically an M 1956 buck pack in the lower part of the system. Plus you can add a whole bunch of other types of bags or pouches to increase your carrying capacity. The fixture itself, everything, the PRC 77 or 25 is carried in the upper part of the packet, it has its own nesting module. And you have your own shoulder straps, plus you're able to hook up the whole whiz-bang thing to your pistol belt and carry your mags, mag pouches, you know, again, your canteens, and whatever other things you want to attach to your pistol belt. Congratulations. However, again, that rubber band, that big rubber band is one end, the other end is static. All you do is wrap a piece of cable around the other end of the whatever other tree, pole, pipe, whatever you got. Take the other S hook, hook that up to the one end of your line the way it's set up with your insulator. Pull that over to where you have your rubber band at the other end and you have your flexible adjustment and you tense the cable immediately. See how that works? Oh yeah, pull the rubber band towards it, there you go. Now adjust your keeper. and you've got yourself an instant guideline. You've got an instant antenna that you can set up whatever configuration you wish to. Each one of the legs of your antenna if you're using a two-leg or a three-leg wire antenna array, guess what? You can set it up in no more. It can take you as little as two, three minutes if you really know what you're doing. If you have another person helping, especially since you might have an assistant RO or other RO's who are part of your 24 hour schedule, when you're setting up a position and you're putting up a semi-permanent wire line, guys, everybody pitches in so everybody knows where it is because the person that's awake is probably the person that's going to disassemble it when you have to run. And sometime you will have to run. So you want to recover as much as you can as quick as you can. Remember, grab, cut, and run. That's simple. Or cut, grab, and run. We've got to grab and hold it still. Then you cut it and then you run with it. That's how it works. Anyway, if you do it right, it's disposable. And you're constantly looking for other disposable items in the field. Okay? Anyway, ideas not just come blaming about the problems. We're going to war here. You have bad guys who set a time clock for some kind of confrontation out west. The Bundy Ranch stopped an attack on over 30 other locations across the west. Does everybody remember that? There were a whole series of other branches and farms and even the Red River Valley that were the target of a BLM land grab for the communist Chinese. They are back to square one with a specific focused attack on the Bundy Ranch to try and terrorize the other property owners into surrendering their property to all of these traitors who are working for a foreign power. The BLM is a prostitute for the communist Chinese. The regime is a prostitute for the Israelis and the communist Chinese. That's what this is all about. So we're right back to again next it's it's the next campaign. It's going to be another year Congratulations. Here it comes. How prepared are you for this? Now in addition to your radio equipment needless to say as we said with regard to antennas We can improvise and build in the field if we have to But it would be kind of nice to build up a number of pieces of equipment now or at least save up the technology Now, let me give you another little hint cork Wine corks wine corks are so many different purposes in survival, but in radio communications They are a quick fast insulator Got that bush antenna I can cut a hole in the end of that cork cut the cork in half Take my knife slight slit the end of it slide that cork over the end of the antenna and take my electrical tape and wrap from the base of the antenna just up towards where the cork is and secure the cork in place and create a bobbin for my antenna. Now what does a bobbin do? Well, it's just like it sounds. It goes bobbin around and when it hits something rather than your antenna signal grounding out. You take the cork you have it in a hand now more on that in a minute I'll explain something else about that you take the cork cut it in half put that bobbin on the end now when you make contact you don't lose signal Why because there's an insulator there to keep your antenna from grounding out. Well, it's kind of nice You know it's not me of that. Hi. It's open the grenades at me dropping over the alt Do you copy that over? You see how that works? Kind of embarrassing when you're bebopping through the woods and you don't really realize that you kind of busted up your own signal. It's embarrassing and it happens. So another thing, by the way, for you guys who are vehicle operators and use the M1514'd Mach, maybe you got yourself an APC. Remember those long whip antennas? What did we use on the end of those whip antennas? Mr. Tennis Ball, remember? You cut a hole in a tennis ball. You put that over the end of your whip antenna. Mr. Duct Tape or Mr. Electrical Tape. Now Mr. Duct Tape works better because it's a bigger project and for that matter on your bobbin on your battle radio, same thing. But you can use duct tape. It's out there. It's OD green. It's camouflage, whatever you want to use. But please don't use pink. And I don't want to see any zebra skin out there either, okay? Well, it's a tiger stripe color. Yeah, it would work, I guess. But anyway, point is that you take the cork, cut it in half, you've got that for the cap. On bigger antennas, we use a tennis ball. By the way, since we have the tennis ball on one end, we put an S hook in that, duct tape that into place real good after we cut a hole in the top of the tennis ball. And then we could take a little piece of bungee cord or we could take for instance big rubber bands or even just a piece of paracord on the bumper and we would arc the antenna down so it wouldn't be flopping around in the overhead in the cover as it was moving through an area if there was overhead cover and you're moving cross country. But we found out something. When you arc that antenna along the side of the Jeep or along the side of that three-quarter ton or up on the roof of that M113 Guys, we started to get better signal. Turns out we accidentally invented something. We figured well if you take that whip antenna and bend her over, at least she'll be good for short range signaling because she wouldn't be grounded out. Turns out we actually created a different plane or arc plane antenna the way it was twisted and we got a better signal and we got a cleaner signal. Dude something's wrong here. This is working better. Yeah. Yeah, I may want to just leave the antennas right where they are Now remember we were using a lot of different stuff VHF UHF on am and FM don't forget So again depending on the era what equipment you use will vary But these little tricks of the trade were all stuff that everybody had to share So p.m. Magazine was really good for that only if you guys run into any of them grab them Why? They cover everything from vehicles to radios to weapon systems to medical support and all the little goofy tricks of the trade people came up with because there's lots of extra junk that's laying around when government sends things. Something that's a container device for one object can work as a piece of support equipment for another one. A simple piece of widget packing plastic all of a sudden a little improvising and adapting and overcoming can be a life-saving tool for another weapons system or piece of equipment. All that's how it works. Anyway, we're at the bottom of the hour here and I got another piece I'm going to play and have some fun with. Why? Hey, this is stomping music. I know the poof does it right here. You don't have to tell. We know. Okay? And I always had a tendency to say something about this for a reason. But... The cool piece is done with Firefly, actually very well done. I remember editing on this, did a good job of choreographing the imagery. But the piece itself is also a good stomping, you know, mech piece, guys. Or a lot of guys would think, wow, that's kind of a flying piece, too. Yeah, it is. Anyway, here we are. We're going to give you a, see, it's my life. Well, of course, it's my life, and I'm going to take care of the problem, get out with business, and when we're done, spend the rest of our lives working but we'll be working for ourselves anyway here we go let's see if i get this one right that particular video is kind of fun anyway and that is for everybody out there if you get a chance go to No, of course it's my life-firefly. Check it out. Maybe your machine will run a better than mine did just a minute ago. Sorry about that guys. I was almost happy to stop it and go, oh my goodness, I'm sorry, I apologize. But you know what, once you're committed, it's kind of like a strafing run. Now run what you got. Hey, hey, whoa, we're taking fire. Yeah, yeah, and we're on fire too. Hey, you know what, you still got that napalm run to make. Hold course, stay on target, stay focused, here we go, here it comes. And away with the load and pull out and bank to the left away from the fire. Yeah, small arms fire everywhere and do 55 gallon drums of jellified fuel with all the white phosphorus you can stuff into it. You just dropped it on that ATF column there for your boys on the ground using that little tail-dragging crop duster you got. Congratulations, you just fried them. That's the job. Yep, you took some holes, but you know what? They're cooking on the ground. And the hell with them all. In fact, hopefully, you sent them all to hell. Anyway, we've got a lot of work to do. Getting ready for what's coming. I will remind everybody UNAMMO.com. UNAMMO.com, let's say that you wanted to create a jellified fuel device you could drop from an aircraft. One of the tricks is to get it going right. Well, those less than $2 flares which burn at pretty big candle power offer a whole lot of heat real fast. And so one of the tricks with tree dropping, if you're going in with a, you know, again, a coin aircraft that's pressed into service, consider that when you drop the load, you have one or two pull stations. It's pull, pull, release. The first pull pulls were two of those flares in the middle of the jellified fuel. The release tank goes at the same time. In fact, she's starting to tumble even as the fuses are activated. And as she starts to move towards the ground to break up and get that proper fuel air mix, that 55 gallon steel drum ain't going to hold up very well when she hits it even 100 miles. And now our kids think about it. Well that fuel splashes through the air, the fuel air mix is increased, you've got those two flares going bop bop at the same time and you thought it was more complicated than that. No it's not. As a matter of fact most ordnance, some of the best ordnance that works wasn't really intended or brought to you by Raytheon, it was brought to you by John and Fred out in the field, improvising, adapting and overcoming. and steel 55 gallon drums are your friend. Always remember that. You can drop them from the air, you can put them in the side of a small berm, put a little slab of C4, a little chunk of HE, whatever you got, and pack some cardboard in front of it, put some burlap on that if you want to, although cardboard should be enough. Goop it up with something so it seals it to keep your HE in place. Then load that puppy up with all the busted glass, broken metal, pieces of pebble, cats and dog bones. I don't care what you got. When you cap the other end of it and seal it, stand off and behind about a good 100, 200 yards if you can. Prep that area so you know where you want to make it go. You already picked the direction by the way you pointed your 50 gallon drum. And when you cap that off with that 12 volt charge from that car battery or that truck battery, a pilfered that was a road wreck, and it goes, moo! That 55 gallon drum will destroy an area 150 feet wide to 150 yards wide, depending upon the charge and what you had available. Little trick, basic ordinance trick. Put a one gallon can of food gas right in the middle of that area, right in front of where the charge is, about halfway up the tube. Halfway up the barrel, you know a food gas, you know, jellified gasoline again, or it can be alcohol and gasoline. It can be diesel fuel and gasoline, but the higher mix of gas, typically more than you would with a flamethrower. Why? You want that high burn to activate everything else. The jellified fuel is spreading amongst everything and it creates that dynamic Hollywood fireball everybody loves so well going downrange except in this case it doesn't just push up into the air. In this case it's going downrange and it's being spread out and sheared by all the other debris that's going out of shrapnel. Well that fuel mixes with the air but it's a again a sticky fuel. and it has a tendency to stay where it's put and it'll burn for a little bit. Want to be meaner still? You mean you did find out what was made out of magnesium or magnesium aluminum that's in a car wreck or anything you can find off an engine and you put that in there with that jellified fuel in front of that food gas can you have inside the main shrapnel area? Oh yeah, that's pretty. It's pretty, especially at night. It's very pretty. So just things to think about. Remember, the 55 gallon drum is your friend. Mr. Grenade is not, by the way. Well, at least when you pull the pen, get rid of it. I don't care what model it is. Anyway, a couple of other things here with regard to signal communications. Making up a kit, what can you put into a kit? Well, those corks I was talking about. I'm going to point something out. Cork is expensive. Cork has always been expensive. Cork is an exotic. Does everybody understand that pretty much all cork comes from one place? Where is that location? Madagascar. That one big chunk of real estate, almost a little microcontinent, not quite a continent, not quite like Australia, but almost. Madagascar is where pretty much all natural cork is produced. Now it's a big business, obviously, if they're the only producer, and where do we see this cork? Well, so good news! As you know, the wine industry has been buying the cork for a long time and they are using the cork to stop up their wine because it is a natural material and they have perfected all of the technology and it does not affect the flavor of the wine. Now because wines are being made in larger production and the Germans are into it, though the Germans should stick to beer if they were smart, but they're doing wine too and everybody else is. We've got American wineries all over the place, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Well, it will put a kind of a stress on the cork industry and because of this, synthetics have been approved. Now, are these for the finer, higher wines? No, here's the pecking order. Your better alcoholic beverages have real cork and it's grade AAA. Then there are progressive, lower grades of cork, still more than serviceable enough, but they have different texture and or quality and imperfection. What cork is though, it is an organic and natural product. So this is why, if I were going to do those little bungee bumpers on my antenna, I would take the corks that are not real cork but synthetic cork, man-made. And I would use those for making my bumpers and my insulators. Now why the insulators? Oh guys, those little corks, those wine corks will take a whole lot of pressure. They will take a whole lot of abuse. Now the regular cork or the real cork has a lot of other applications. In fact both of them can be used for bobbers, for a survival fishing kit. But here's another thing you can do with cork. If you take your match or your lighter and you heat up the end of it and you cook it, it is a smudge pot. It is a smudge material you can use to camouflage and darken your face. You can also use it for the back of your hands. One of the good things, it's not really toxic to people, but it does stick well once it's been carbonized. It sticks well to the people when it's applied, so it kind of stays with you even if you get sweaty or whatever. It's similar to a lot of the oil-based greases, but you'll notice a lot of the oil-based greases are a little tougher to get off, so typically they're a semi-water soluble pasty material very hard typically the stuff dries out well of course already dry so when you heat it up what you do is use it to smudge high point areas don't turn yourself into milky the clown or you know like you're doing you know old soul... oh come on old Sambo you know little black Sambo outfits you know you're trying to dance you know to the old jazz singer no no no no no we don't want the highlighted raccoon eyes and you know everything else dark Disrupt by random application. That means don't look in a mirror initially. Imagine, take your hand, put it to your face and randomize. Think a lightning bolt pattern. Break up the silhouette. That's what you're trying to do. But remember, you are trying to also darken rising points on your face. Your cheeks, your nose, the eyebrow area. Many of you have pronounced brows. your forehead, but again we don't want to just blacken it, we want to disrupt and create a light, dark contrast. In the field with camouflage, it is more important that you do that than you try to get everything out dark green, gray and brown color. Just an extreme contrast creates a difficult object for the mind to focus on. because it has to interpret extrapolate what it's looking at. Now if you've got other colors to work with, fantastic. But remember that cork is easily carried for more than one reason, many other purposes, but as a smudge pot, as a smudge camouflage stick, it works perfectly. Now please don't make the mistake after Mark told you to use cork. to take one of those plastic-synthetic, you know, petroleum product cork, you know, plugs, heat it up and then, you know, leave little red stipple burn marks all over your face where you try to streak that burning plastic over your face, I would really be, yeah, shall we say frustrated to find somebody doing that. You should know better because Mark has now told you, no, you do not use the synthetic plug-slash-corks for the camouflage mission. real actual cork and it's out there there's lots of it out there still guys there is a whole industry in Madagascar growing more cork even as we speak It is sold on the market, it's kind of like any other industry. There are products, they are all that's sold, every bit of it's used, and the grade of a wine company of course determines how much they're willing to spend, but the quality of the wine determines the quality, typically the quark that they're willing to spend money on to get the right product, to do the right job. So again, pay attention to recycling bins. You will find that the corks are there on a regular basis. You can just keep piling them up. They're not going to break down. They don't deteriorate that easily. So just having them in a can or putting them someplace, ideally keep them dryer, keep them cleaner. You don't want grit or sand or metal in those corks because if you try to run it across your face, that little bit of metal burring might be kind of embarrassing when it makes that nice little fine bloodline that, you know, yeah, you know it is. I did it so fast I didn't realize what was happening and it's already too late. Ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch! Anyway, a couple other things here. AmmoMan.com. AmmoMan.com. They did get in a number of 223 loads and I better double check and see what they have left because man they were going through stuff yesterday. www. ammoman.com. That's ammoman.com. Now, Take the time go to amoman.com if you're looking for 223. I know there's a number of other companies out there As a matter of fact, they're showing 223 55 grain 840 rounds per can PMC that's Korean military ball kids and Free shipping for orders over $99 Well, they've got the let's see 840 rounds delivered $379 a can. That's what's an 840 rounds in a what appears to be a single 50 caliber can. And they're in, oh whoa this is completely battle packed. Oh attention, attention, attention. They just got this in. Packed tight nammal can, this 223 ammo from PMC is good to go to the range or ready to store in your safe for a while. 840 rounds on a half dozen bandoliers. 140 rounds on each bandolier are priced to move. These rounds are brass cased, 55 grain, and feature a full metal jacket bullet. And of course, PMC is boxer primed, kids. So that means that there is a solution that's a battle pack kit ready to go. And yes, that includes bandoliers and strippers. It's in a badminton layer, it should be in the stripper. So, I'm going to have to call on that, double check to make sure we get that right. But that's PMC ammo, there's nothing wrong with it. Again, the 55 grain projectile worked just fine. There are a couple of other flavors out there in terms of stuff that's available through Amelman. One of the other things that they have are the 223 PMC 55 grain FMJ battle packs. These are the 200 round battle packs. $104 each. If you're not familiar with it, go to the page, check it out. Now again, compare the prices. They do have flinchchester. It's not going to be cheap. It's not as cheap as a PMC. They have armscore and actually that's up and down depending upon when it was made as far as price. In this case, you're looking at 20 rounds for $9.50. And all they got all they mixed it up when you go to the PM's the page is 365 dollars. They got it all they got about 14 dollars off the regular price right now they came down and if they got it in the warehouse for that PMC 223 ammunition 840 rounds it's 365 dollars. I wondered about that because the sale price looks like it went up Other than that there's a mix of other rounds that are available The arms core is a few dollars less than the PMC for the same ammunition right next to it. So if you're looking for XM193 rounds, arms core is 372 per thousand, PMC is 375 per thousand. The arms core ammo is just as good as the PMC and vice versa. Both of them are field grade military ammo, more than effective enough with any of your ARs that you're running out there. The big thing is more for less. You pick out what it is you get the most for the leastest. and then run with that puppy accordingly. Brass case, military ball, preview partisan, they've got that also. Hey, be quite honest, in pecking order I go preview partisan, it's $375 for $1000. PMC, pretty well neck and neck, but preview partisan is a step up a little bit from PMC. And then there's also the Arms Core ammo available in .223, but that's $3 less for $1000. So they did get some in, I don't know how much they have, you're going to have to check the schedule there on the page. Now they got 30 cases left of the previous partisan, they had a couple pallets of it earlier yesterday. So they apparently going through a lot of that real quick and I expect that. That's not a surprise, not panic, just if you want it, get it first before somebody else does. He who waits sucks vapors. In addition to that, AR-15 mags. Guys, how many mags should you have? All you can buy. Why? Well, you're going to drop them, you're going to lose them, but here's another thing. What about the guy that shows up that's like earnest, but he was listening to somebody else who said, well you only need six mags. Well, that's a good start, but here again, you might want to take some of those four, five, or ten dollar, like the three or four dollar, twenty round mags. or a handful of the 30 rounders that you bought for your Tactical Reserve 510 program. And you might want to load up that young soldier a little bit more just so he can provide left or right hand fire support for you to keep you alive when the time comes. Do you think? Yeah, probably be a good deal. Doesn't mean you won't pull off the warm dead corpses, everything that they've got on the other side, because those black uniform moose are only there to be harvested. They are a nuisance to have to put up with for a little bit, but they're really piss poor fighters. They're great bullies, but they're piss poor fighters. So making them dead warm is good, and then stripping them of everything, including their underwear for cleaning rags, is another part of the issue. Make sure you're carrying spare garbage bags. Now you know people are going to be fighting over the magazines. So while you probably will get some, you won't get all of them. Just that simple is how it works. So that's why it would be a good idea to have that 510 program stocked up with lots of extra mags. If you're committed to the 8K, buy more mags. AR, buy more mags.
