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 torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he'd vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trampled each God given right we only watch in tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave? This is still the land of the free And that man a bet I'm sure he'll hit somebody with it and good Afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, this is the second hour of the afternoon intelligence report. I'm Mark Herkey. And I'm Donald William Betcher. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories west, southwest, east, and north. Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on... Liberty Tree Radio dot 4 mg dot com indiana freedom talk radio dot com running about the micro station cb station and alternate alternate home working gold and spike technologies both east and west of the mississippi along with alaska matter-of-fact the carbon copy of one of our older cap She had one kitten and it is virtually a cookie cutter and the same attitude and everything. Don, what's the date today, sir? What's it like up in your neck of the woods and let's jump off the wall, please. Hey, it's the 31st day of October. It is Halloween day. Not that I'm celebrating it. You know, it irks me when people say, have a happy holiday for Halloween. But you hear that more and more and it's more and more tragic at any rate. It's cold. It's windy. It's snowed this morning. It's all gone. While you were doing the run-up mark, I was watching the local news and they were pushing. They were shoveling snow in Cadillac, which is like 45 miles north of me. So it's getting closer and closer and we'll see. Eventually it'll be a winter wonderland out there. at least it isn't today on the last day of October 31, 2014. If we're lucky, maybe the hunters will have a little bit of snow for opening day here in Michigan, the 15th day of the coming month. Less than 16 days away. Now, Mark, as you put it, Michigan will field more than a quarter of a million marksmen who will lie in wait as quietly as humanly possible to ambush their and bring it home for dinner. But, you know, a number of capable guns, that's another way to put it. And, you know, you guys compare that number to a number of armies around the world. And, well, Michigan's kind of a hunting state. Granted, they probably don't have as many hunters in New York City. But once you get out of the city, there's hunters in New York. You just don't have to say city behind it, right? Again, you guys, cold. It's a little bit wet, a little bit windy. It's one of those days, Mark, that you talk about. It's more obvious now, but if you get caught out in this, it will bite and it will bite hard. It will hurt you just as bad, although not as quickly as 3 feet of snow and 20 below. This kind of weather will drain the calories from you when they will find you tomorrow morning cold and stiff. You won't be talking either. So again, pay attention. We've talked about car survival. We've talked about this in so many different ways. Even up that has dry clothes in it. If you've got a pack that has dry clothes in it, you should probably have in that pack a poncho. Why? So your clothes don't get wet to begin with. So you don't have to get the dry clothes out unless you really, really need them. Because you know what? Here's the whole evolutionary thought line here. The big if. A lot of people haven't got past this mark, but hey, if you've got a change out of your wet clothes into your dry clothes and you're standing there in the woods, that's not so bad. But you know what? You're standing there in the woods. Turn around and throw those wet clothes in the dryer. I dare you. Now, if it's quick raining and you still have to move, you wring that stuff out. That poncho that you don't need anymore because it's quit raining. Well you wrap all that stuff in your poncho, you put it back in your bag and you make your way until where you are to where you can hang that stuff out to dry. These are basics you guys. That way we don't cross contaminate. Remember moisture is contamination. We don't want to soak everything else up. I'll carry it with me and eventually all that moisture commutes. The whole stack is wet. So we want to keep it out of our gear if at all possible. Hey Don, do you know where Nunica is? Nunica, Michigan? Nunica, Michigan, no. And you, this is another place guys, this must be a, we're going to have to find this down on the map. This is a cute little story before you have to leave. I want to make sure we get this in here. Driver runs over man dressed in zombie costume and keeps on driving! When the zombie apocalypse hits, what will be your weapon of choice? A good pair of gherkas? A gun? Crossbow? How about it? When a man driving his car through Nunica, Michigan, Saturday feared that the undead had in fact invaded the country, he used whatever he had on hand, which happened to be his car. He plowed over the brain-seeking zombie and proceeded to vacate the area with haste. Unfortunately, the Evil Invader was just a 45 year old man with a really great costume having a little fun a few days before Halloween. Jeff Stiles, and it's funny because I recognize that name, but that doesn't mean there aren't a lot of people with the name Jeff Stiles, but it is unique to a degree. was admitted to the hospital but his injuries were considered non-life threatening. Authorities said Stiles was at a Halloween party when he went outside to smoke a cigarette and attempted to scare passerby's in the process. Apparently, it worked. Yeah. What was that? Speed bump. Zombie speed bump. Did you get it? Yeah. The crack of pop. Yeah, so Nuna Ka, N-U-N-I-C-A. That's a suburb of Grand Rapids, because I saw the map when they were talking about this. It's a suburb of Grand Rapids. Oh, there we go. So it's just south and west of you. Yes. Yeah, and it's west of us, guys. So anyway, don't go near Nuna Ka. They believe in zombies. They certainly have seen them on the road, and they have showed you how to deal with them accordingly. Zombie speed bump. a two-ton vehicle works just fine. Jason not once does he and the motorcycle gets really close to the one case any it moves his car and it's like wait a minute this guy by the way also is really mean like you know former you know mafiosa and But he's really panicked by oh my god this motorcycle and it says more like there you go That's that now on to the other vehicle is looking for So just a case in point and zombies. Oh, no, you know, there's another thing by the time you get to the third season of walking dead Wouldn't you have blades and like a cow you like a cow splitter in the front at least that big deer shield Yeah, think about it. But I mean but by that point in time I don't mean there's welding torches out there There's arc welders. You've got generators you can get going whatever but you know, hey arc welders Well, forgive me torches don't require, you know have to have any electricity just change all your tanks are running. Yeah But the idea is that you'd be putting blades on things. It'd be like just because, hey, I'm doing 45 miles an hour. There's a zombie along the road. Let's see, you put a blade along the roof line and a couple blades in the side just so if they start to gang up even at lower speeds, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, heck, How, when the zombie got to the hospital, the doctor said there were no life-threatening injuries. Great. I mean, he is dead, sir. No, he is not. Like Monty Python. Well, if he isn't dead, I know how to deal with this. It wasn't, Parrot. I saw walking dead. One screwdriver right to the head, right guys? No, no, no, no, no, it's only a concept. Oops, too late. Sorry, too late. You'll never come back to complain about it. That's right. Remember, he had to be a zombie. I hit him in the head with a screwdriver and he's dead. Well, you could hit anybody in the head with a screwdriver and they're dead, sir. Oh, man. See, he's not coming back. Yeah, he's not coming back after that one. So anyway, that was a cute little story and again, New England, Michigan, there's zombie hunting already. Now today's Halloween, so please don't get out on the road and start mowing people down with the cars that way. Just because it's a good looking costume. Of course, then with our luck, tonight will be when the, you know, it's kind of like, yeah, this is when the zombie hockey clips really did start. And they got away with a whole lot because, well, nobody really took it seriously for a little while. That's the premise for how many different horror movies over the years. It's Halloween and like oh my god, not too late. Wow. But once everybody figures it out the weapons are broken out and the festivities begin. Now another thing on that real quick before we go any farther too it is Halloween so be careful out there on the road. I wouldn't do a whole lot of traveling tonight. Only because the cops are looking for an excuse and they like revenue and we don't really need that if you got to go out to take care of business take care of business but then get right back off the road as soon as you can and Get back, you know to where you need to be. It's just that easy The other thing too is we have been getting these rain squalls Guys, we still got a lot of leaf cover coming down Those leaves on the road are organic and with that moisture mixed in with them. They are like grease on a road Yeah, just a reminder if you're heading in an area and boy you're the first person on here looks really cool man Because the leaves are like as golden on the pavement as they are on the wood and the trees off left and right I know a number of people in Detroit who ride their motorcycles year-round You can do that when the roads are scraped. They don't mind riding in the winter time as much as they Mind paying you have to pay a lot more attention in the fall this time of year. Yeah, then you do in the winter in the city. The danger of riding your motorcycle in the city in the wintertime is you're going down one of the fire roads. You know the mile roads that are cut for the fire trucks are extra wide and those are scraped and you're using those as your main sources of, you know, line of travel and you come to a place where someone has shoveled their whole driveway into the street. and you're going 45 miles an hour 35 45 miles an hour on basically dry pavement and then you pass across like three lengths of the motorcycle that's like snow two inches deep. Oh man. That's a little scary. Experience on that. That'll leave a ding. Yeah. As long as you keep it upright though. You know sometimes though like you point out you know leaves or snow you guys That's not really fun on a two wheeled vehicle. Not at all. Next thing to banana peels. Yeah, you're right. That's comical almost. You know, interestingly enough here too, we're talking about the idea of using bikes, motorcycles, or whatever for evacuation, and I know there's arguments plus or minus on that. But the one big thing that we pointed out is, as long as you keep quiet, the big thing is, you know, to put the sound suppressors back on. They fit into places other things don't they can get around obstacles that typically can be created simply because of wreckage The other cool thing if you're using like the moped systems like you know Ethan and a lot of the guys that put together is You can pick it up pull it over put it over a fence walk it down the road quietly or down the trail quietly to the next fence row lift it over put it on the other side and Start your back up and you're doing 35 40 miles an hour away from something or down the road to get closer to your retreat For pickets and scouts motorcycles are handy also but the big thing is you want to go the other way. Guys we're not worried about somebody you know being able to hear us so they don't run us over. We don't want anybody to hear us so they don't take pot shots at us. Right. So we're going in the other direction don't ever toss out those exhausts or that muffler system put it up on the wall and when the time comes you want to if at all possible quiet it down even more. One of the big features of both the Ferret and the Saracen along with the Saladin armored car families was that when they first received them, the comment was that the vehicles were so incredibly quiet. Now both the Ferret and the Saracen and the Saladin were brought into British reconnaissance, mechanized or cavalry reconnaissance units, typically first. Reconnaissance means getting in, seeing, and then not being seen or heard and getting out. You don't have the bite to fight. If need be, you can chew back just as hard as you're getting. But the idea is to not be seen and for somebody not to know that you've been there. The exhaust and muffler and snorkel system was set up for the ferret, for the serison and for the salad and along with the truck version of the same six-wheeled armored car. All of these worked exceptionally well, but they were especially quiet. That was the first thing that all the drivers noted, is that these were very, they were what's called highly automotive, in other words, they really could perform well. They turned on a dime and they were a hard target to hear. Now think about it, especially at night. offering the ability to appear on a battlefield. If I can't see you, maybe I can hear where you are and dump some rounds down your direction with a belt fed gun. See how that works? So the quieter the piece of equipment is the better. And if at all possible, like we said, with these two wheeled vehicles, walk them out. If you can walk them out or again, glide them out. In other words, just coast. to get out of an area, you've got hills, learn to take advantage of it. These are all part of the thinking processes that you have to take into consideration. Not the least, we'll also be down the road, fuel is going to be more and more valuable. So where you can coast or you can calculate if you know your terrain, if you're using road networks, wherever you can shut it off and coast for as great a distance as possible, that needs to be taken advantage of. You guys listen down at Kentucky, Tennessee over on the, you know, again, over towards the Cumberland Gap. I mean, come on, look at some of those hills you got there. Headed down, the biggest problem is with trucks. That's why they have those drive-offs with the sandbag barriers because, yeah, you really can pick up speed heading down, down range. Oh yeah. It takes long at all. And sometimes, well, the brakes just, they get a little too hot. And I've had that happen with one truck, a crew cab Dodge, that we don't want our air force trucks. I'll tell you what, we got done with the end of that run. Long, long, long, long switch back in downhill and there was this one, what the hell was it? It was a secondary road too, but it was just a long ramp. It was almost like it was a launch ramp going back uphill. I don't know what kind of fuel we would have wasted. But it was a good five mile stretch and you were picking up speed. Now I'd flimed out down at the bottom end of the valley. And we're not talking way out west in the Dakotas or Montana or Arizona or Nevada. We're talking around the east coast. There's plenty of places where you can do this and that's another thing why you need to make sure that you Well, a couple of things that should be in the spares list. You know, the China Sport brake pads are pretty stinkin' cheap. And if you've got an SUV or any vehicle you're gonna use or truck or jeep for what's comin', I would put a spare set of pads front and back in, you know, if you got disc all the way around, fine. If you got disc and drum, be prepared for that. But I'd actually be lookin' at grabbin' a set of everything before too late if it goes to Helen Handcart. because brakes are another thing that wear out, tires wear out, brakes wear out, and especially with a lot of high end use where you're looking at ridges, mountains, switchbacks, things like that, or at long coasting, long steep inclines, but it's a downgrade when you're going the other way. Doesn't take long to pick up speed, and you keep using those brakes and applying them, and they build up calories. Another point to be made here, and it goes back to the walking dead, you guys, how old is your car? If you've never changed the radiator hoses or the fan belts, do you want to end up like that old guy trying to get a radiator hose on the dang old camper? Yeah. Because now's the time. If you've got a 10 year old car and you've owned it since it was new or a year old and you've never changed the... You could give... It's fair. Oh yeah. You're about to be caught one way or another with a belt and sometimes when belts go on these sideways motors you guys, Sometimes we have a pick of a litter when you're in zombie land. That's what gets me. Yeah, but a belt now that goes on a lot of these serpentine belt motors, if they fail in such a way they'll tear out the seal on your crankcase note. It can happen. It usually doesn't, but don't count on it. That makes it a lot more expensive than just simply replacing a belt. A lot more. And when those belts are whipping around, they can also do damaged stuff. They can also do damaged wiring and other hoses. Yes, yes. So again, it's better to replace something now than try to have to find it once things are boiling. You can always keep the old one as a spare if it still looks good. Yeah. Even if it doesn't look really great, it's better than none. Until this time you can afford to spend money and if you can't afford to spend money, save whatever you got. Same with plugs. They may not be pretty and they may not be perfect, but again, if somebody monkey screws with the vehicle or something happens, plugs, your distributor cap, all your wires, especially since you usually replace your distributor cap and the wires at the same time. leave them all together, put them in a Ziploc bag, or again a little garbage bag, seal them up, put them inside another bag, put them in the trunk. The cool thing is that most of the work is already done because they've already been sorted out at the one end for the distributor cap. All you've got to do is make sure you get them on the right plug. But little tools, little bits like that make all the difference in the world. They don't have to be perfect. Remember, all it's got to do is get you another 60, maybe 100 miles down the road if not more. So, maybe less. Maybe you're on the last leg, you don't know. But at the very least it'll get you out of the area. Zombie Pocky Clips. Look at all the zombies. I think if we could travel by car it'd be faster. Yeah, it is. In this case, yeah. Whoa, look at all the zombies. See, my problem with it, it's one of those things where I just wish you had the resources because really the CG for doing stuff like that isn't that hard now. But we would have a very different world if we were fighting the zombies. I mean come on guys, you know thrashers Cable cable tools, you know using a cable steel cable Stressed out and you know from one point to another and you just release it cut it with a torch or just release it It's like a helicopter fan. You do it at about five feet off the ground that allows for those short zombies But the idea is what I gotta get it which just swings around what's under tension You just keep you just add more tension and more tension and more tensioning bring it right up to the point where she's like a pianist like a piano wearer But it's not it's cable and when you let that go anything standing in its way. There's gonna be two parts Yeah, that's one of the reasons that usually if you'll notice when you saw tank recovery groups there's one guy guiding the tank and everybody else seems to be way far away from that tow cable. You're right about that. Yup. Yeah. There's a lot of stress on that cable. Yup. Told a 60 ton tank. Think about it. And that cable really gets pulled. And every tank has a recovery cable, guys. Now if that goes, or if it's the recovery vehicle and that goes, it's just like in a tow truck. Tow truck drivers will tell you the same thing. I'd stand over here with me if I were you. Yeah. Well, why? Oh, just trust me. You never know. Could be one of those nights. Wouldn't want to lose your head over being a spectator. Exactly. I was at DragonCon and saw a cute girl with a t-shirt that had a rifle on it. And it said, the hardest thing about a zombie apocalypse will be pretending I'm not excited. Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy. Well, again, hacking and chopping rules, kids. I just wouldn't have the problems quite that they had. Like I said, you have to start thinking ahead, make every bullet count, and it's no different when dealing with the zombie socialist apocalypse. Same thing. Speaking of key shows, make sure you make every bullet count, get up at head height, and work them across the plane there. That was one of the things about one of the incidents where they lost the prison. We were watching some of the later episodes here and it's like, well, they didn't lose it that night, but the thing is, you don't stand at ground level or drop down to your knees, guys. You want to get up so you're at their head level. That way, every bullet passes through four or five or six pumpkins. You don't have to waste as much ammo to get the job done. Right. Especially when there's a mass of them. I always laugh when there's this mass thing. The other one I've always thought, think about this. I'm sorry. Everybody can take their turn. You get a decent crane. You pick a gravel pit or a quarry. Or take your favorite cliff if you've got Tennessee or Kentucky. And it's like the Pied Piper to Oblivion. And you just make the girl, your favorite girl or whoever wants to be on the end of the cable goes out about 35-40 feet and stands there as if they're at ground level. Make lots of noise. Zombies don't seem to think much about anything other than eating. and it would be like... The Tommy Lemming Syndrome? Yeah, it would be like the Tommy going to... Like Buffalo going over the edge of a cliff, guys. Think about it. I don't care who they are. That 2,000 foot drop kind of ruins your potential to do much more than sit there with your skull and go... And I don't really have a problem with that because I'm going to dump several, you know, a couple truckloads of diesel down there and get them burning. And then every once in a while we were some more in. And if you've got a whole legion of them, well, keep pulling them in until they... Okay, until they fill up the hole and go find another one. And I'm talking hole, I'm talking, you know, cliffs to oblivion. You know what I mean? Think about it, that would be the fastest. Well, we got a lot of zombies here. Oh, let's find a ledge. What do you mean? Yeah, well first we gotta do some things down below and then make sure we got some fuel oil down there, maybe some combustible burn- yeah, some burnables. And then we'll start the music. What music? Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun, dun all brains or people doesn't make any difference and we'll take into consideration it could be like let's see world war z or the or the new zombie like the new uh you know dawn of the dead where the zombies have actually you know some speed well you got to get a little farther because they might get a running start but they still don't fly right yeah see them flying yeah it works yeah why why we cut everything off the cliff yep oh goodbye oh goodbye So just again, try to plant seeds. It's Halloween and you know the zombies are going to be out there. Now let's not run over zombies tonight unless we can absolutely confirm that the zombie pocket clips is coming. It's Halloween, what can I say, the end of the month and we're looking at November tomorrow. We got a lot of work coming up this next month and specifically we got some tasks for our friends that are up at Camp Nagahitcham this weekend. By the way, tomorrow the big long range is open out to 1,600 yards. They opened up at 10 o'clock this morning, Friday morning, and actually they're probably still shooting right up until about now. They may be just closing down. I don't know if they're going to run until dark. But for everybody out there, remember familiarize yourself with those long-range weapons you've got available because they're a needful thing, guys. Don, do you have to take off? Yeah, but before I go, I want to tell you, you know, those tickets on that Virgin Airline thing into outer space might not be so valuable today. The test craft. Yeah, they had a little snad. Yeah. Yeah. It crashed in the desert, killed two crewmen. We were just... Well, did the other guy die? That's what they just said, yeah. Oh, he just passed away then because he was injured. Well, I was questioning whether or not they scutted in and tried to save the aircraft or if they bailed. They appeared to be on site. They were covered up with orange tarps. They appeared to be on site. Initially one was alive and one was dead. One was grievously injured, the other dead. The vehicle apparently exploded shortly after engines started up. They were testing a new fuel is what they were saying. Yeah, I thought I mentioned that. The other thing is, before I go, Randy signed a T-shirt today. Oh, very good, yes. Yeah, he was sitting here when I opened the box. We probably are going to need another pen. I just sent one just in case, but again. We need another Sharpie, a better Sharpie. Make sure everybody let Larry know when it's passed on. We gotta get that to him next. Yup. Did you get everything else in the box okay? Yeah, yeah. Okay, very good. Okay. Well, okay. I'll tell you what, Don, your number for night vision technology, take your time. I'm gonna step away for just a second while you're still here. I'll be right back. Hey, goggles or gun sights? Green screens are thermal. I know that's a broad brush there and a couple strokes of it, but my phone number is 231-796-84. 5'8", we can talk about that first generation gun sight 4 power 308 capable right in your mailbox for $390. We could talk about a piece of thermal fit in your cargo pocket, you know that popcorn pocket on your thigh there on your BDUs. It doesn't have to hang from the nose of your helicopter or mount from the deck of your armored vehicle. It's handheld right in your mailbox right in your hand. Actually, you'll have to sign for it for $1,895 right in your mailbox a piece of thermal That's an unbelievable price compared to just a year two three years ago You if you just said that two or three years ago people would have said that it never happened But offer it today my phone number is two three one seven nine six eight four five eight again two three one seven nine six I've got to say the national news here is showing that Eric Fellow in Pennsylvania, isn't that his first name? They caught him. I don't know if he got that big gash on his nose and on his forehead just walking around in the woods mark. I know that. They had to say the very first thing was there was some poetic justice in the fact that When he was arrested, they put the handcuffs on him from the dead trooper. Let me put it this way, BS. Right. You know what I mean? Major. When I hear storylines like that, BS. You mean out of the 500 people out there running around the woods, this one person that was right there just happened to have a BS. Complete rubbish tri-land. There are a number of questions here still as far as this whole thing from the get go. We know that. As we pointed out, an entire battalion of specialized infantry along with mechanized and aircraft were tied up with one person. One person and how many days but it's not a matter if they get him. It's the idea that for the amount of resources spent Was it of value now? Propaganda wise they're desperately needing to do this as we pointed out because well, we don't want to let you know, oh My god, you know blah blah blah blah blah But in reality, was this an efficient effort? Not in any way, shape or form. Hey, they just said they spent 10 million dollars looking for the dude. There you go. The one piece that, well, if anybody didn't play it, I think it's in the scroll with Henry's From the Trenches. They had one of the locals talking about it and everybody's kind of disgusted because they had a guy killed last year in the area right there where all this happened. Cops could care less. Yup. They really could care less, you know, and how a little bear is his shot. We mean one of theirs I thought you were with us. No, we're special you're not and so of course, like you said, oh they spent 10 million dollars Well, I have to watch this stage left mark. Thank you. No, that puppy deep is what they did. Anyway, thank you very much, sir. Thank you. God bless your number for night vision one more time, please. Okay. Hey goggles or gun sights, green screens or thermal. Give me a call. If you call the guy with the 800 number and then you call me, you probably won't call him back because you dialed two, three, one seven, nine, six, eight, four. I thought that was pretty neat. That's why I was kind of grinning. You can probably hear it. My number is 231-796-8458. Thank you, Mark. God bless you. God bless America. Thank you, sir. And it is again the end of the month. It is going to be a busy November coming up here. We're now into the turkey burn season, what I thought was rather funny yesterday. I know, two days ago we stopped over at Dollar Tree. and guys are already putting the Christmas stuff out right now actually two days ago they should have it all up by now I would think but I asked them I came in it's like we had the Halloween stuff on the shelf in mass the Christmas stuff is going up I said where's your isn't there a season in between like a holiday in between called Thanksgiving? Oh that's over there on the end cap and there's this one spot with this one end cap of you like so many shelves and that's where all the Thanksgiving stuff was that's it Otherwise, the Christmas stuff right now is swarming into the Dollar Tree. Now the cool thing is there are some useful items there. LED lighting as I've pointed out many times, which is real handy for field use. And solar lighting. Different types of solar lighting that are cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap. So keep that in mind too. You want to watch for the sales because right now it's out there but eventually they're going to have stuff left over. You just want to be there first when the sale starts because it won't last long. Everybody's starting to snarf this stuff up now. They're realizing what it's worth. Another little story here real quick for people to see it. Russia weaponizes the Arctic. We'll build 13 airfields and 10 radar stations to meet unwelcome guests. Well, okay. So as it is, interestingly enough they're going to be expanding on the operational areas. In reality, I think what they're going to do to a degree is reopen established sites that were shut down towards the end of the Cold War. Most of those were in the optimal locations to begin with. That's why the Russians don't waste resources and they don't just plop stuff down for the fun of it. Everything serves a purpose. It's expensive to work in subzero weather. It's expensive. to work in cold wet environments especially when you're headed towards you know inside the Arctic Circle you have to slow down you have to take into consideration materials and again durability just because it's made out of steel doesn't mean that it gets cold enough it won't snap just like an icicle. The Finnish military technology guys for years they have always had to take that into consideration The Laffy pistols in 9mm, they look like a Luger but they're not anything like a Luger internally. That little pistol, actually a pretty good size pistol, the entire premise for that gun is dealing with arctic warfare and for that reason the metallurgy was tweaked accordingly. Considerably different. Yeah, they're very, very, very much a built for the conditions pistol. Your Model 61 gas mask, compare that M61 mask you were getting from Finland to the Yugo Nokia masks made by the same country but sold to the Yugoslavians. Look at the difference between the two. Understand the M61 is set up in advance and established for use in cold weather environments. It's already built the way it needs to be. So the M61s actually are conducive to good use solution for those of you who are in the upper parts of the country or where we are. They are built for and they can accommodate all of the M9 winter gear that goes on the M9 that's still out there in surplus in places. The M9, Model 61 and the M2 and 3 U-Go's are all the same. Go ahead. You want to consider wheel socks in place to change. There's a thing, a product out there called a wheel sock. They're pretty cool. We use them on trucks a lot now. They didn't let us use them before, but they started to let us use them. All you do is put a sock around the wheel and that's it. This was the European invention. I had no longer had to carry around any pound chains, at least on our 18 wheelers, it was a real pain in the butt, but with cars also, they have them for cars, but you can hook it up on the internet, they're called Snow Socks, and I recommend that highly over a chain, so that these socks will get you out of any, just about any bad situation as opposed to an heavy chain, and it did pretty good, not a lot of good. And again, they're called Snow Socks. So if we do a search we'll probably end up with 50% somebody's winter socks. Is it S-O-X or S-O-C-K? S-O-C-K. I'm going to try it right now. I've got to turn the machine on. Socks. Here we go. I see an S there. Let's see what we have. Snow socks. Yep, they're actually showing them if you go to YouTube, they're calling it the auto sock snow socks, which first look review But they're showing them being applied so there's some room, you know There are some videos out there for everybody is wondering what you're talking about Do snow socks really work which and you know, there's of course tests So there's the different challenge for the different models that are out there. There's the ISSE Snow Sox and there are others that are offered too. Now I'm questioning what are the materials, what are they made out of? That's a good question, I have no idea. I've only seen one pair of them on a friend's truck and it's really heavy like nylon canvas type material. Like a nylon canvas type stuff. It's a strange material, that's for sure. I've never seen anything like it. But it looks like crazy, man. I don't know what the science is behind it, but the damn things you left ice. Ice and snow. I think that they would be serrated or at least have some form of aggressive, even if it's micro or it's small, would it be an aggressive tread perpendicular to the circular motion of the tire? But you know again looking at it here is basically like you said it goes over the hole of the tire obviously covers the tread and It may be still fairly large, but it's a macro filament material is what it looks like So there's and there's definitely almost the equivalent to a tire material that goes along with it Which I know that covers the track area, which is resting so I guess but so they're allowing those with trucks now, too Oh, yeah, when you go up, you know, big graves, I mean, you know, these things now, they're lying in Colorado, Seattle. So that's kind of, I was just looking into it, because that's such a, well, the letter comes like cringe, because I know I'm going to have to put on 80 pound chains on, you know, on eight tires. It's just, you know, I hate it. But I just looked into this and it looks like they're, I'm going to probably end up getting them, but Definitely the only one I consider to have a change. A change of heavy, a pin, a flat, and the same thing. I haven't done that much research on them. I mean, I just relatively brand new. Well, they're basically just as simple as a wheel cover would be, guys, on the spare tire covers. About 12. Yeah. Just about as easy to apply. How long? Like a day or two. That was over. That was at least two days ago. Okay, it says avoid aggressive acceleration and braking. It goes up $2 a day. Yeah, I think yesterday was like... So it wasn't seven. No. $2 a day doesn't come to an uneven number. Yeah, but that's a little out of mathematics. Two, four, six, eight. Six instead of five to make it... Okay, and what is costing $2 a day? Last night I gave you five, which was two... all their regard you play with the fight conversation i wasn't sure if there was one of our callers talking about our colors or it was something else going on that's okay it happened uh... there are a couple other variations on the idea that are out there but the uh... no sock idea pretty much consistent but looks at the guys uh... it recommend not none obviously not driving too aggressively and certainly being careful with regard to speed but the objective is Obviously to get through slippery or slick environments with a probably snow or ice base that's been impacted and then with snow above so that you're still able to move through the area or able to operate. And again, it's better, quicker and easier in chains. One of the things is as easy as they are to apply, the amount of time that it takes to put them in place, you're not having to fight them or wrestle them into place because it is literally a polymer sleeve. that goes over the whole tire and only of course caps the outside making it easily identified too. Apparently there's a red X that they have on these most all of them that I'm seeing here in the imagery. So it's called the SNOW SOC or UTO SOC. That's A-U-T-O-S-O-C-K. S-O-C-K, not S-O-X. S-O-C-K. Check it out, there's a whole bunch of videos on YouTube so not only do you get to see it, but you get to see them apply it and they show how it works. So there's again, a quick solution there. Otherwise, I don't think they make a snow sock for tanks. A track, but well, you never know. Down the road maybe they would. A track's usually pretty cool except, well, as you've seen with solid ice. 14 or 20 or 25 or 30 tons sliding sideways is usually kind of embarrassing. Especially if you can't get out of the way fast enough because the tank wins, you lose. No matter what's happening. It doesn't mean you're so hard, the track is trying to go the other way. It may still simply just not let you get there, as they say. Just something to think about. Again, as it is, interesting. As it stands again for an auxiliary or on standby system since it doesn't take up much weight, easy to carry, even the trunk you wouldn't forget about it per se, but it wouldn't, that doesn't look like it would truly be in the way. And again, girl, they're showing a young lady applying these things within a very short, short period of time, very quick, you know, on and off. Just that simple. So, again, snow socks, we're heading into that season. Also, we were talking about Gore-Tex this morning. A lot of you guys are buying the used Gore-Tex equipment, which is not a problem. But I would point out that Gore-Tex, because of the nature of that particular polymer headed towards the Kevlar family, has the N-C to be, shall we say, stiff and aggressive slash abrasive. So, if you're buying the Gore-Tex for operations, take the time, break out the sewing kit, and stitch the top of the pockets and the flaps where they make contact at the farthest point left and right just to be safe as a precaution. And the reason for this is Again, the threading typically may be a little tired before it wears out the rest of the way or before if it may already be frayed rather than it just being pulled apart. You can save yourself a whole lot of wear and tear and damage to anything or loss of material by stitching the stuff up now. Again, look for either the military thread, you can find it as surplus, usually it's in thousand foot or whatever large rolls. In fact even Donut of Destruction right now, the DOD, over at Uncle Sam's retail outlet with Gov Liquidation, they actually have a couple of the different colors of the industrial rolls, the industrial thimbles. White, and I believe they also have green out there right now. So they are available, they're accessible for a pretty reasonable price. Once you've got them in place, you're going to be that much more reliable with regard to your wet weather gear. Every pocket you've got should be used. That's the basic rule with us in the field. Every pocket you've got, it's not there for looks, it's there for use. If you've got a pocket, something needs to be in it. It can be any number of different options. It can be mittens, socks, Spare well hand warmers hats whatever but make sure every pocket stuffed with something the rain gear is no different from the rest Doesn't have to be chuck full and you know looking like a chipmunk full of walnuts or anything like that if our chipmunk faithful walnuts, but Distributing the weight like that is an efficient way for you to be able to carry material especially spares I like to carry a couple of the D3A glove liners in one, or I'll spread them out. Each coat, each blouse, and the ring gear have a little bit of everything in each layer. That way when the time comes, I know that if I drop one, I still have a pair of socks, and I still have at least one pair of gloves in each of the, like the shirt, also in the field jacket, like the M65 or any of the battle blouses, like the windproof DPM camouflage coats. I've got one of those right now I'm testing out and beating this nut out of. They're so far holding up well, but had a pocket that needs to be stitched already with that because again it's been in service and I sit down the other night and stitch the pocket back together. Just take my time to make sure that it doesn't come apart any farther than it already did. I don't want to have to do any more extensive work and if I catch it early on it's not going to be a problem for me later. Now otherwise, let's see we are heading towards the top here. It's quartermaster Friday by the way Keep shooting calm keep shooting calm keep shooting calm is one of the companies one of the several companies we've mentioned already that has a number of gas masks still in service again, you gotta check even though they list them and they have been modifying their inventory remember that Everybody is selling out fast kids. A lot of stuff is going down the road just about as quick as somebody finds it, we're looking at major block purchases. Everybody I've talked to pretty well confirmed the same thing. Whether they're buying it up to resell it, who knows. But the bottom line is the stuff is going down the road. If you run into something and it matches up with the material you've got, the price is reasonable. First, confirm that it's there, then grab what you need and pass the information on after you got yours. Let everybody else know. Because there might be something you'll run into that, well, nobody else knows about when the time comes. We want to make sure that we again take advantage of providing our people with the resources first. Not that we won't help other people, but hey, take care of our own. Another thing, keepshooting.com, www.keepshooting.com. Also, and I don't know if they have any of the sales this weekend, I'm working right now, Goose Island Sales for magazines. Now, they have a number of different mags that they've been offering at a pretty reasonable price, as a matter of fact, but some of them are rather exotic. If you have a Beretta Model 92, or if you have one of those .40 caliber Berettas. Guess what? Also they have a CZ-75 slash TZ-75 and Baby Eagle 15 round mags. That's all the same mag for all three weapons. They're $17 a piece. Now they had about 30 some of them here the other day and I see that they only have 18 left which apparently somebody finally figured out where they are. They also have a number of other decent little buys. They've got the actual FN PS90. These are the P90 factory mags. Now they're only 30 rounders, but $17 for a mag to have spares is a good thing. Of course, a 30-rounder, you bought the PS90 because it can carry a 100 or a 50-round large mag on the roof. Then you got 30 round mags. That kind of defeats them. Well, it's FN. FN and HK, they screw you every time. And they'll always produce the tiny ones while everybody else gets the big stuff. But they also do have several other FN mags in stock. If it floats your boat and fits your needs, they're worthwhile. I think the most important is they got the FN SPR 10 round mags. tactical box bags for a .308 rifle. They're .55, .50 a piece. They only have two of them. But if you've got that weapon, FN is like HK. When you see it, you might want to grab it because ain't no guarantee you're going to be there next week or that they'll even have anything comparable. Now the other thing that they've had in stock for a bit, and they ran out of twice but they're back up in inventory on, AK47 30 round magazines. They're thermal, they're black. and they've got them for $6 a piece. Now, thermal ain't nothing ever fancy about a thermal mag. In fact, they look kind of... But the cool thing is, they work. So again, if you're looking for additional AK mags, $6 a piece, at the very least look at them as dumpers. In other words, put them into your breakout bags. load them up. They'll be good for more than a few shoots but if you had to drop some I wouldn't drop my nicer mags. I'd drop my cheaper mags, wouldn't you? And in a breakout typically it's fire and drop, fire and drop, fire and drop. Now another thing that they've got, and this is for all you Glock people, you know I'm not a Glock person but I appreciate all you people who have Glocks. They do have a number of Glock factory mags in stock. They've got the 45 ACP Glock 38. They also have the 9mm 33 round factory Glock mags for $34.99. They actually have a good quantity of the 33 rounders in 9mm, $35 per mag. They've got 57 of those in stock. I think they just restocked those because they were down low on those a couple days ago. But if you're looking for a stick mag to drop into the weapon to give you some firepower for rear guard operations like we've talked about, then the 33 or the 32 rounders will work just fine. You don't need to whole pile them, but one of them to go buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck and that's what a rear guard gun is for. So, or a set of guns. You know, one guy fires when he's out empty. The next guy drop, pops up, drops the safety and dumps the rounds. And it's so that you can suppress for a short period of time, give him a bloody nose and make him think twice about moving forward while everybody else is unarcing the AO. That can be done with a number of different weapons, but handguns are more efficient price-wise for the ammunition consumed and you're still putting a good bullet down range. Okay guys, so just something to take into consideration there. Again, that's gooseislandsales.com. Go to their magazine section. They've got a number of specialized mags that you won't necessarily find everywhere right now. The only other company that might have some of these would be CDNN Investments. But Goose Island Sales, they also have ammo. I don't want to check and see what they have available. But magazines go to their magazine section plug it in check it out and then well looks like a float your boat take care of that Also this weekend Remember we're gonna be rotating. Oh wait a minute. I think Sunday Clock change as I recall I believe it's gonna be Sunday. I may be wrong could be Monday, but I'm thinking Sunday so for everybody out there you know make sure you change out the clocks and Be prepared for the you know the shift in time and then we'll get out with business from there. We are at the top. We're going to hear the music here in a minute. For everybody out there, it is Friday, Quartermaster Friday, and we will be back at 8 o'clock. BK won't be with us then. militia town hall coming up next, live, and everybody can participate. So remember guys, if you want to participate, call in. Phone number 712-432-0900 That's 712-432-0900 And the room number is 957-464-pound sign That's 957-464-pound sign Oh, go ahead caller, who do we have? Oh, Fuffie, I'd like to apologize for the voices you heard earlier before I muted I had an idiot at the door. Oh, okay. Well, I figured there was a conversation going on. I just wasn't sure if it wasn't with one of our callers. I miss things sometimes, not usually, but I cannot. Long as your sites are well-regulated, as they say, it's just an idiot at my door that needs to be removed. Very good. I appreciate it. My apologies and thank you. Not a problem. Anyway, we are headed towards the top, guys. We should hear the music. Hent, Hent, Hent, Edward. Edward's going, oh wait a minute, I'm not done with dinner yet. Oh no, I'm sure he's actually got enough to keep him busy as it is. Again, let's see, anything else that's exotic or unusual? Well, I'll tell you what, we're gonna be back at 8 o'clock. There are one or two other things coming up the second week of November. We are going to have another state meeting for Michigan Wolverine Corps. We'll find out more about that here from the guys probably tomorrow night. And as always, God bless the Republic. Death to the new world order. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on a run. We're in a mark. We'll be back a little bit here. Meanwhile, don't touch that dial. Live broadcasting. Edward taking over. Militia Town Hall meeting. It's Friday.
