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. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this the land of the free and home of the brave. You vie permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money is spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan's number. You've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. and your daughters visit doctors so their children will be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you will fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? 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 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 trample each God given right we only watch in tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms He'd fought to keep what would be your answer if he called out from the grave is this still the land of the free good Gentlemen, this is the an hour of the afternoon intelligence report. I'm our kirky one day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories west, southwest, central, and east. Ladies and gentlemen you're listening to us on Liberty3radio.4mg.com Indiana Freedom Talk Radio dot com we're on AM and FM micro stations, CB base stations, alternate hallmark and golden spike technologies east and west of the Mississippi along with Alaska. And it's sunset gone. It's dark outside. It has been a perfect and beautiful day today here in the bottom of Michigan. I don't know about the rest of the state but it's been nice down here. Looking pretty good in general. I've got a lot of work done outside. As soon as I'm done with this hour, back outside again. Got to finish putting tools away and squaring away some of the other machinery for tomorrow, crossing our fingers and hopefully it won't snow. One more day. Give me one more day. Maybe two. I'd be happy. However it works, we got to make sure again we stay focused, get the job done, get what we can accomplish, and get on down the road. We're going to do just that. It is Quartermaster Friday, it is the day after Christmas, the 26th of December, 6th year of open Fabian Socialist and Soviet Socialist occupation of America with a K2014 Old Earth Calendar or Nostradamus Doom Calendar where it's so nebulous you can throw anything and make it stick and it's just an absolute BS lie. So anyway, grab a cup of coffee smell, taste, oh that is a rich a cup of coffee. three generations, four generations back, okay? So most Americans don't really understand, you know, we've been given all this gobbledygook that's on the grocery store shelves, which by the way has gone thinner and thinner in terms of depth, only a breath away from being cut off. And then all of a sudden every pound of coffee you have better be made to count. every teabag that you have better be made to count. In fact you better start thinking ahead to when you may not get those and you better figure out if you are a caffeine freak. Which a lot of us are really we're used to that caffeine rush. Well America was before and back during the well every war that we've had where you know things got really tight real quick because they won't let us trade outside the borders because they're either trying to block us from it or they're playing us while the rich get what they want we don't get any. That's how it works. We understand that. We know what the pigs are about. Okay, so we've had to improvise, adapt, and overcome. Most Americans think they're on the keeper list. Most Americans are not on the keeper list. 99% are not on the keeper list, but they're stupid enough to buy into the BS. They won't be ready. So those are the people you trade stuff to if you're ahead of the curve, the dummies. And you trade it for the stuff that they haven't figured is valuable yet until it's too late. You know, the dummies. Now, coffee, tea, chicory and several of the other different root vegetables that are out there can be used to make what is the equivalent to a coffee type product. And chicory, by the way, has been reinvented every so many years depending upon how the economy goes inside and outside the US. I've got some packages that are chicory additive that were done here in the last three years because there has been a quiet coffee problem going on because of a certain sharing of bacteria and blight in the coffee industry which if you know the coffee industry and we've even brought this up over the last three years has caused some issues with coffee not being shipped from certain parts of the planet or less being shipped because they simply can't make it. Okay? Coffee, not essential, but kind of handy. Changes up the day is part of most people's cycle of life. Also then becomes an addiction. I have to have coffee I become a zombie! Okay well let's un-zombie-fy ya. Well will you trade for this one pound can of coffee I have? Wait a minute, how will you trade for this baggy of coffee that I have? Yeah, a Ziploc bag. And don't worry, we'll weigh it out here on the scale to make sure you know how much you got here, but you know, we're going to trade now by the ounce. We're not trading by the pound anymore. How many people are truly ready for that? I really invest in instant coffee to a degree only for personal use, but you know what? Let me point something out. How many of you buy an Aldi's out there? Anybody stop at Aldi's? Here's something interesting about Aldi's. Aldi's usually has one of something, right guys? For the last month going on to, Aldi's has not had regular instant coffee. Now they've got decaf. We're talking about a simple like 8 ounce, you know like toss out everybody should have it jar of coffee But their suppliers don't have and in fact I talked to the guys they said is a temporarily out of stock items So it's off the shelf Now you can get the decaf by the by the crate But from all these you can't get the simple no name brand one size fits all flavor wise instant freeze-dried coffee. The dollar store has it. I can go to the dollar store and get a $1 container that's basically the same size as what I can buy at all these. So it's not like it's not out there per se, but literally a simple and very popular item like that completely out of stock and in limited no stock item. There's not a space fort on the shelf. They don't have it. They aren't going to be selling it. Coffee. Real simple. Well Mark, I can go to the grocery store and there's 10, 20, 30 rent. Yep, you can. And how deep are those shelves also? So just something to think about. It's one of those things we've always talked about. Something that's very economical, you find a cheap solution, you put some of it on the shelf, you're going to use it anyway. I do. I mean, we use the stuff up. We don't waste anything. What we do is we, at the very least, it's an insurance policy. But here's the other thing. Smaller increments or subdivisions so that it's easier to barter trade and exchange. You certainly can go bulk and volume on things. But if you do that, you still want a container system. You need containers. If you start to produce things and you want to sell them or you want to store them, you have to have containers. If you don't have containers, you look really stupid trying to shovel buckets into something. I mean, over here you got some handy little good-ball hands. The whole idea here too is consistency in measurement but also in storage. That way again you can subdivide, break down and then even disperse as needed. So there's an advantage to that. The other thing about trading especially is looking at, and we know about alcohol, eventually guys stills will be the norm, they're the exception, but stills are going to pop up real quick and that's where again knowing how to do it right is especially critical and I highly suggest you start looking at that now and looking at the still materials now that you're going to need. because alcohol is a useful tool. There are so many things where we're going to need it. It's a commodity again. It's one of those things that will have a true market value very quickly. In the meantime, you buy the off-the-shelf stuff. You know everything about the tax stamp. You already have a figure or a math formula, and you have the recipes for what you need to do in the future for the other half of the process. But then you might want to start thinking about containers again because what are you going to put it in? Glass would be kind of nice. Might want to watch those recycle bins for those screw, lid, reusable glass wicker containers or wine containers simply because glass is cheap and easy to reuse. Something to think about. If you're going to do it, it ain't the razor kit, it's the blades that will get you. So, it didn't cost. Now, money. Again, currency. We are going to have to establish, and it is not outside of our parameters. With regard to ability, it is something that can be done quickly. Every resistance or every counterforce operation that took place in Europe in the last 100 years, well actually farther back, but every activity incorporated both franking and currency striking. Franking the stamps, guys, when the Polish revolt was ready to take place against the Germans and the Poles were trying to rise up in Warsaw, an entire integrated infrastructure was ready to roll, literally top to bottom. So they could demonstrate and in fact support the... Oh, wait a minute, what did they have in Poland? Well, Poland was betrayed by the Scheister bankers, the Rothschilds. And so you had a government in exile in England. Everybody that's in government wants you to forget that they were betrayed at the end of the war. The Polish allies that helped to get the war started by attacking the Germans and making it look like the Germans attacked them because they listened to the bankers. That was their big stupid mistake. Well, then the government ran from their people in Poland and they became the government in exile that was in England. At the end of the war, they stayed in exile because if they had gone back to Poland, the Communists had every intention of killing them. And many of the people who went back were by the Communists that, oh, that's right, Franklin Delano Rosenfeld and Churchill all made a deal with Stalin. and divvied up Poland to the Communists in a real bummer kind of way. Well, up until that point, under the logic that, well, Poland was an ally and the glories of Poland and the propaganda and all the British media about Poland, our brothers, Poland rise up, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Well, of course Stalin did the same thing. But anybody who rose up was then progressively rounded up and executed by Stalin when he rolled through. First he rolled around anybody who resisted the Germans and let them fight it out without any support and then he came back and when the Germans surrendered then they rounded up and executed all the Poles that they could in the second wave of executions because the Poles weren't going to go along with the Communists. Wow! Now and of course double-tap betrayal because everybody was waiting for that help from Western Europe! The help from the people who had divvied up Poland. So don't expect it to be any different or think that somehow that this system here, if we decide that we're going to have to, and it's obvious we're going to have to, deal with the issues. We have to have solutions in hand ourselves. We don't expect to be relieved. It's going to be our solutions, our answers. The founding fathers did it. We're going to have to do it. So we are going to determine the value of the currency. We are going to determine the exchange rate between hard currency and the script that is generated. Now, the Quartermaster, a unique person, has to have a... well, again, betrayal is a terrible thing, will be punished probably with execution. But Quartermasters are supposed to be, of course... well, they're supposed to be... clean. They're supposed to be of a higher cut, a higher standard with regard to their moral scruples. That's why there are discussions about quartermasters. By the way, we did drag some quartermasters out and put them in shackles, sometimes hung them. That happened with certain people who took advantage of being given the purse strings. And they pad their friends' pockets. This happened after the American War, the northern war of aggression when the Union was in the south. There are all kinds of horror stories about what happened there. and how material that was supposed to get to the troops never did, no shoes. It was at a time when there was a bounty, an excess, but the shysters it gravitated towards, and I mean shysters, I mean shysters, gravitated to supply. Well, it took hanging them to get rid of them and to clean the system back up because the rest got scared to death they'd be hung too. Yeah, so this is not a new issue and we know all the depravity that could take place. Well, it requires a moral group of people to get the job done. Currency, the value of currency, and also the estimation of the value of products, material that will be purchased from the population. Well, there's going to have to be a standard established and that means very quickly already I'm planting this seed in your mind. You have to have a series of quartermaster committees. Now, what these are, typically are tradesmen in the areas of interest or individuals that are of that particular field, and they are going to know the value or the proportional value of product. That standard is established and passed on to the quartermaster in the field. And then, exchanging silver, copper, gold, or script as generated as promised for payment, The value of the product is presented to the owner in trade for the material. It's not a complicated process, but it does require bookkeeping. Now, as far as the military script goes, using it to pay the soldiers? Yes. That's why we call it military script. It's amazing how we get into these discussions. I even watch in these chat rooms and you know not like ours, we usually have guys bouncing back and forth and everything, but remember that military script within a military formation is the norm for payment. There is then usually a paymaster or a, again, through paymaster or through the quartermaster slash an extension as treasurer of a formation, as with the militia, in which script can be transferred or converted over to conventional currency. Also, as progressively you build an economic system like this, which does not take very long, and it's a matter of asserting the fact that this is the system. Very quickly everybody understands that if you again want to be able to trade, survive, especially amongst people who all have guns, then trying to feed from people or steal from people will probably get you dead in a number of different ways. And so people will gravitate towards the idea that maybe I don't want to be in a pistol match every time or a gun battle every time I want to eat. Maybe it would be better to be using my brain and applying it. and common sense. So again, the exchange rates, if they're once established, everybody understands them. Whether or not farther afield away from whatever kind of government is established progressively, and we're talking a wartime government, then exchange rates will probably vary. The closer you are to your enemy, the enemy battlefield or the enemy front or control area, the exchange rates will vary depending upon whether or not somebody is doing any skullduggery work on both sides, which typically There are people in the border areas that always will. We aren't going to lament it, we're going to understand it, and we'll have to deal with that accordingly depending on whether or not those individuals are actually betraying or providing useful material support. If they're betraying, they'll probably end up dead. There ain't nothing I can do to stop it because a lot of people will get pissed locally and the person who thinks he's backstabbing our people for the sake of trying to play both sides Well, yeah, he can puff up for a bit, but somebody will probably hunt their hind end down and get rid of them. On the other hand, if it's benchmarked and understood that, hey, he gets useful stuff that we need, so we'll turn a blind eye to part of his business, because the other half is, again, useful to ours in many ways. Intelligence information, food stuffs, medical support, a conduit for other material or personnel. There's any number of different things. So, again, we already understand that this takes place and exists. There are root issues that need to be dealt with. We need to put them out on the table and need to be discussed and talked about in advance. Another thing about the currency standard is the issue of counterfeiting. How will we deal with it? Well, typically throughout all of history, not just in recent times, the debauching of the currency is the death penalty. Now, when we're talking about debauching of the currency, if you create a currency, and by the way, don't think that counterfeiting is just with paper. There's a reason that coins were serrated on the ends, guys, the way that they are. We fake that with the new currency, the new coins like the dimes and the quarters and the half dollars. We even want so far as to put words on the end of the coins. You want to know why? Well, shaving a coin is a debauching of the currency and was punishable by death. Being caught shaving coins or altering the currency to devalue the pure weight of the currency separate from wear and tear. Currency wears. That's the other thing. Even metal currency wears, especially gold, silver, copper. You've seen it. A coin will be struck and progressively, the details aren't there. The dates rubbed off or partially rubbed off. That's from usage. But currency, coin, little flecks of metal, are longer in durability in terms of duration of service than the paper is. And I would point out again that scurrilous banks would make the paper as cheap or buy the cheapest rice paper they possibly could because remember that your old promissory notes, your old bank notes were promised against something deposited that was hard currency. So if you had a pocket full of rice paper and it got wet, it broke down and you couldn't read it or it turned to mush, well that's not my problem, that's your problem. Well, that's really dirty. Yes, that's why people hated bankers. That's why people hated bankers. I've got a United States currency that's actually, it's not US, it's banker currency, that was done 1890. Guys, your toilet paper has the same, your industrial like School toilet paper has the same consistency. You know that stuff is like really compressed and kind of like wax paper-y and it's the cheapest you could get. That's what the currency paper was like with many of these Scheister banks. It's one of the reasons you had to guard your currency. Currency like that would be put into a strong box, into a secured environmental box, something to keep it dry like a can inside the strong box. any kind of info, anything they could do to try and wheedle their way out of or under the hopes that maybe you'd get screwed or something would happen to you and so they wouldn't have to pay out because what you can't prove to me that those notes existed. That's the difference between the scurrilous filth in the banks and a just monetary system and the people through the Congress and through their representation regulating the currency, which it does not do now. And why we're where we are with the economy in the trash situation it's in. Now, for anybody who argues the earlier issues of pre-1913, I would point out that again, remember we were at war. The moment we didn't have the Rothschild banks and those skanks in our system, we were under attack instantly, non-stop, never ending. So it is an issue that we have to deal with now. It means that eventually the whole pool will be contaminated. We could clean it all up today. some dunderhead will go, well the good old days and blah blah blah and all of a sudden yeah we gotta surrender to Blattsenstein here because Blattsenstein's a good guy don't you like Blattsenstein? You know he's not like Cohen. Well they're gonna go back to the bank house there and they're all enemies until the doors closed and they walk down those back hallways and they open up that smoke filled room and they're all laughing and chuckling about how they played us again. Oi, oi, oi, oi, oi. So we need to be prepared for that. And just understand that what you're doing is cleaning it up for our life's time and for the lives of our progeny. They have to decide to make choices. We'll give them the opportunity. We'll show them the track. But we can't race for them. So don't lament about that. Don't whine about that. That's not an issue. The idea is, are we going to fix this now for ourselves and for our time? Yes. Bartering and exchanging is part of the process and should always be part of the process. You know, it used to be there are places I could go around here in this area even when I was growing up. And if I had certain commodities or certain things and stuff from the agriculture, you could trade and nobody would think twice about it. That has progressively changed as the people who understood that who came out of the depression passed on from industry or business or whatever. So it's because of lack of experience or realization of, you know, again, what makes up true wealth and becoming lazy. That has caused a bunch of our problems. Anyway, on that note, we are at the bottom of the art. We do have a drawing coming up, guys, on the second. We have a really cool t-shirt. It's on Henry's From the Trenches World Report Scroll, and it's on Liberty Tree Radio dot 4 mg dot com. If you go there, you will find the picture of the t-shirt. We also, of course, have a utility bag, which is a carry bag, like a purse or a handy bag. That is a holster. You rip the Velcro, you grab the top of it, rip real hard, the Velcro comes loose, and there's a gun holster. It's really cool. Anyway, we have that and many other tactical items. I want to say thank you to our friends over there in southeastern Ohio, way down there by Kentucky. We just had a couple more items come in. We're going to go to break. We'll be back right here, Liberty Tree Radio, it's Friday. My grandfather was a drinker Back in the day he put them down But a war isn't a changerman The whiskey's known to change a man That's not me I rarely drink from the bottle But I'll smoke a little weed I still live in the sticks where you wouldn't go In the town of 1200 off an old dirt road And the country boy is all I'll ever be 12 years since I sold my soul to the devil in LA I signed your name here on dotted line And your son said my key and said You wanna sell a million records boy, better listen to me He said change your style, buy in your smile You could lose a couple pounds And if you wanna live this life, you better lose that wife Do you need your friends around? Said, oh that's not me Biggest things in life are your friends and family And I like my jeans and my old t-shirts And a couple extra pounds never really hurt Cause a country boy is all I'll ever be Cause Hank taught me just how to stay alive And never catch me at the house without my 9 or 45 Felt truck My dear, heaven's chasing white tail puffs as a country boy You know I can survive Now two flags fly above my land Really some of how I feel The colors that fly high and proud The red, the white, the blue The other one's got a rattlesnake A simple statement made Don't tread on me what it says and I'll take that to my grave because this is me proud to be American and strong in my belief and I've said it before Friday we have had a perfect day today. Really couldn't ask for any more than what we've already had. Again, it is the 26th of December 2014 and we're headed to 2015 and I think pretty much it's the year of decision kids. Now how it's going to work out or what they're going to try to be stupid enough to play we'll find out when the time comes but I don't think anybody's going to take any BS from the other side anymore so. Once it kicks in, you need to be prepared to deal with the battle at hand. And that's why Quartermaster is so important. Supply, the 510 program, if you're wondering about that, go to Liberty Tree Radio on YouTube. We have a couple of videos on the 510 program concept, how it works. Organize, oh wow, Organize, Arm, Equip, and Train accordingly. And then Store Up. put together what you can and make a point of making sure that uh... whatever you've got uh... that uh... you have the material support back up that weapon system that equipment that technology etcetera etcetera etcetera do we have a caller before going further in fact uh... i would be a input he wants to bring anything well well well go ahead color jump in there uh... the detective here and i have a Hey, I was going to ask you a gun question. I just recently purchased an A2 upper, and it's a chrome line barrel on the Bushmaster. Wait a minute, it's a 20 inch barrel? That's a government chrome line barrel with an A3? A2. Oh, A2, okay cool. Well, I thought you showed me the flat top. It's flat top. Yeah, it is flat top. Okay, well then it's got a 20 inch barrel, but it's still an A3. If the receiver's got the flat top, that's the A3 configuration. Okay, it's a 20 inch barrel, which is cool. You got the best combination. Does it have an A-frame front sight? Does it have the standard front sight? It did, but the previous owner put a Yankee Hills, the flip down sight. Oh, okay, so it's got a flip down rear, but does it have a carry handle with a sight for the rear? No. Okay, that carry handle that I just mentioned would work or should work with what you're talking about unless you buy another flip-bound rear, unless you already got it. Did it come with any kind of rear sight? No, the guy actually talked me into buying. He had a rock rear sight. It's just like the A2 rear sight. It's got the windage and elevation adjustment. It retails for $110. for 25. Oh good. Well then you're good. You've got a front and rear. So that's cool. Otherwise that's what I'm talking about. That's the way I go. The A3 top, the advantage is quick access, quick mounting for down to night vision, like again, a night vision device, or whatever optics you want to go to. and have that on standby. So there's nothing, that's perfect, that's exactly what I would prefer to find, but hell, 20 inch barrel uppers go through the inventory. One out of 40, I would say, and most of the times, half the companies right now don't even have a 20 inch barrel in the reasonable price range. You gotta go up into the heavy barrel and the oh my god price to find a 20 inch right now. So if you've got one that's a regular weight 20 inch barrel, then you're doing fine. I'd prefer a full heavy because the government profile means that it's lighter past underneath the front hand guard. Yeah, that's what he told me. But it'll work. Right now, it's a 20 inch. Anytime I can get more barrel for the same price, I'm going to buy the 20 inch barrel. Just like on the H case. Longer barrel first. When they run out of those, then go to the others. Yeah. And I just was wondering, it does say going down. Go to any of the sites. So you got a 20 inch barrel for $200, everything there ready to roll? Have you had it on the range at all yet? No, I haven't had it on the range. I still only get the boat carrier group. The guy had some sort of, so it did not have a flash hider, but I'm just going to get an A2 flash hider that's like 10 bucks. Just watch this factor. Look around, go to Apex Gun Parts and go to the E-Circo. and check to see if they've got any used ones. Usually they've got like two furs and three furs. I would buy an N for cheap. They should be a dime a dozen because the standard A1 and A2 box flash hiders have been around for 50 years now. There's tons of them laying around. That's the most common standard flash hider for the AR available, the basket in front. That's all I'd go with. I mean it was everything I was looking for. I couldn't believe it was right there. I mean, you know, chrome line, Maryland 1 in 7 twist. Very good. Well, on that note, by the way, go to, I just ran over to Apex. Before I forget this, just as a note, you got people that need body armor, guys. Holiday sale, two ballistic panels, plus one for free. Holiday sale price, $20. Anybody need any threat level two body armor that's pretty decent? Are those the steel plates or the soft armor? Undercover armor. You're talking three level two vests, three panels. Three vests? It's what it says here. Holiday sale, two ballistic panels plus one more for free. It's got a $20 price tag on it. That's what it says. Go over to Apex Gun Parts. Everybody listening right now, guys in the chat room. This is the tail end of what's left here. I used to buy these like this from another company down in Kentucky. And the price you're seeing there is more like what I used to pay. But I don't care what condition they're in, it's more Kevlar. And here's one of the things about this. Remember we've talked about armoring up your vehicle. OK, you got bucket seats on a car. Is it kind of nice to have something that would be velcro and wrapped around the seat? It's a military vehicle kind of thing anyway. So you can put like a you know, dragon scale overlap the panels. Now it says here, let's see, X law enforcement Kevlar spectra ballistic soft armor panels. Two panels plus one for free. Now they seem well used. We've been buying these from these guys when they first started. We actually think we bought out the chicken plates. They don't have any of the inserts now. They're out of those. Maybe they have some, but I haven't seen any. So maybe you have to call them and see if they've got one or two left. But for $5 a piece, the chicken panels are worth picking up. Well, this is $20 worth of Kevlar. This is worth a lot more than $20. It's that simple. As is, sold as is, no returns. Big deal. But these are again, undercover vests. Remember if you go over to Rap4.com or airsoft-club.com, they've got these armor carriers. Well, you can get them for $20 or $30 with all the pouches and everything, but you don't have any armor because it's airsoft, right? They've got the foam in there. Well, you take the foam out, you take your $20 worth of body armor and put it in and now you've got yourself a poor man's assault system and you buy a metal chicken plate or a Kevlar chicken plate for the front to go in the pocket and guess what? So this is a cheap, cheap solution for somebody who doesn't have any body armor and most people don't. So I can't find out. You're going to have to pay for the shipping. I don't doubt the shipping is going to be heavy. but that would be expected no matter what and their shipping on the stuff has been pretty reasonable with all the stuff that we've gotten where it's in Colorado or in Michigan anyway go to Apex Gun Parts in fact www.apexgunparts.com go right to the let's see it's right on the front page they've got all the Christmas specials up above and excuse me I don't see anything else jumping out at me going, wow, that seems to be the best sale item of the whole page. Well, it's right in the middle of the page. It's the one, two, third column down. I don't know if they rotate a little bit every time you switch the page out, but it's at the upper part of the page. Holiday sale, two ballistic panels plus one for free. Price, $20. So what you've got is three ballistic panels. Wrap around type with the collar you know the VV type so he wraps over the shoulders and everything You're talking three panels for $20 There's project armor for you you want to experiment you don't spend a thousand dollars on something you spend $20 and you got three vests of course you could divide them up so everybody just gets one front panel and no back panel and That way it motivates everybody to face the enemy and as long as you're facing the enemy, maybe you should shoot back When you say used, most of them we got, you can't even tell that they're used. Oh, okay. That's how, but I don't care if they're dirty. I mean, to be quite honest, three for 20, I'm telling you, this is a great buy. I've seen all of them that the guys have bought, none of them are in bad shape at all. This is what these are, are federal vests from Puerto Rico. Oh, they're all government vests. They bought every last one of them they had. They bought a big pile of them, brought them in, and that's what they were selling. But this you can't beat. I'm telling you guys, for everybody to go check it out, you translate it, guys. You can read it. There's a couple paragraphs here about what they're doing and what it is. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. You can't buy it under certain conditions. You're evil, bad, and terrible. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. sold in three assorted panels so they probably also will be like some of them the guys got were black. Remember there's light blue, dark blue and black but apparently maybe some white which is not a problem and again you can buy the Velcro, your Velcro snags for your left and right and for your shoulders that are elastic or you can make new ones and you could have a complete set of undercover vests, backup vests for other people or inserts to go in the carriers. that's what I'd be looking at is for the in the for instance there's the British and also the German vests out there the carriers they're cheap they're just the carriers for this kind of armor and so you could actually pick up a nice set from like KeepShooting.com or one of the other companies whoever has them in stock but the armor is what cost you an arm and a leg guys and you're looking at three panels for twenty dollars however long they last this is a holiday sale and I don't know when it's going to end, I don't know what it doesn't say when the sale is going to end. And let's see, there's 81 items in the holiday. I mean look to see, they just added to that. You should see they added around Christmas. So check it out, that's all I can say. You'll find all kinds of cool goodies there. Lots of interesting stuff worth picking up. Yep, it's $20. I see another ad here for it going to the other section. Three panels, three complete wraparound elements for the front or the rear. It will be a mix. for twenty dollars. Probably cost more for shipping than it will for the items that you're buying. Just that simple. Wait a minute. Son of a bugger, there's something else here too. Well, check it out. They also have a Yugo AK-47, the standard thread rifle grenade launchers to thread on the end of your regular AK. Just kind of cool. Anyway, two of them for $12, so $6 apiece makes that pretty reasonable. If I see anything else that's jumping out real quick, I would scream, but I think that body armor is the big one. Most of you do not have body armor because you have not been able to afford it. And hundreds of dollars for whatever is typically what you're looking at, at least $80 to $100 for a basic system, where you're looking at three vest panels for $20 plus shipping. Now you can't tell me you can't afford body armor at that price. Mark, did you say these are the undercover? Yeah, they're just, well normally it'd be, they used to call them the undercover, it's the type, you can wear them either way, but these are the inner panels that go into the, usually have a Velcro wrapped around, you know, they overlap front and back. Is it a one size fits all or? Yeah, typically, well, they could be some tiniest and bigs, I don't know, it's just whatever they got is what's left, for that price, who's gonna care? I'll be honest, I'll take a small and put it over my hairy hind end and make it work. It's Velcro closed anyway. Take a look at how a cop vest is. It's a regular cop vest. It's not that hard to install an extra Velcro strap. You won't even have to. The Velcro the way it works, think about it, the Velcro is positive and negative. Your straps are actually designed to release on either panel. Oh yeah. They come off completely. All you do is buy some new Velcro panels. You can buy the stretcho separate because the elastic gets tired on vests. Eventually, nothing lasts forever. What it is is the elastic gets tired. So guys buy new elastic. Typically they'll buy a new vest if they're a cop because the department buys it. But if it's yours, body armor, as long as you take care of it, it's good indefinitely. It may somehow degrade a little bit, but it would take a long time to do that. Mostly it's body salts and moisture and perspiration. It's the salt that typically affects the polymers. So if you're a sweaty kind of guy, it behooves you to take the vest off and air it out and wash it up every once in a while. Simple soap and water. Don't do anything fancy. These have not been bad at all. Like I said, one of the guys did is he took the first one he bought, which was the standard assault vest with the pockets on the outside. He bought a set of the undercover and inserted it to double up on the threat level 2 armor. So basically it's almost a threat level 4. I would say it's a little below. It's probably like a threat level 3B is what it would be the equivalent to, which is pretty good armor for what he paid, which was a total of $45. for everything, you know like for the two vests, because I told everybody to buy these when they were cheap, cheap, cheap, you know they were 35, 25, $27 depending on what it was. Well this is what's left and that's what they've got on sale. So it's worth it. Take a look at it, read the information on it, go to www.apexgunparts.com Their phone number is 719-481-2050. Holiday sale, two ballistic panels plus one free. Holiday sale, $20 for three panels. They should clear out of these if we let people know about it. We are people to get them first. No request for size, color, or style. So whatever it is, it's the tail end. This is a surplus law enforcement Kevlar spectra that is past the end of service life date and is out of warranty, sold as is, with no returns. It's just like it's second chance armor. They do the same thing. For the sake of insurance and because I want to sell you more vests, we'll have a, we put a date of operation on it. That's what they do. So, it's a solution, not just complaining about the problems. At least we got some armor. Look at it this way, it'll keep the breaky breaky stuff from getting through to you if there's like fragmentation because it slows down a lot of the breaky breaky stuff. Now the other consideration, if you wanted to for instance armor up a seat, what you do is you create a hanger and you use this like dragon scales with so many overlapping panels behind the seat. on like a bucket seat on a van and now you've got an armored aircraft seat which is kinda nice. You know, pum pum pum pum pum pum. Oh, it didn't quite get through, did it? And, bless, you're wearing your own vest anyway so anytime you jump out at least somebody's got some bullet screen behind you. There's all kinds of ways this stuff can be used but it's not junk and it certainly can be used as it was intended. It's purely a matter of, again, once you've got it, you figure out what you want to do with it and then be creative. I would look at the inexpensive replacement carriers that were for different theaters. Example is the German stuff. The Tropotarn, also the Tibetan Tarn, has been showing up with just the pockets for this kind of armor or similar. And the advantage is that it's just the carriers and they're cheap because there's a ton of them out there. You can also find the carriers in the desert patterns or the coyotes because that's the big thing right now. Well, again, just to get it into something so you're able to throw it on and wear it, that would work just fine. And cheapest for the most is my attitude on it. So let's see what KeepShooting.com has right now. number one go to Apex Gun Parts look at it in the Christmas sale section but it's right on the front page easy for everybody to find three panels of armor for twenty dollars plus you pay the shipping whatever that is and yes body armor is heavy we already know that so that's not going to be an issue or problem you already expect that but they've been pretty good about shipping on it anyway like I said now let's go to KeepShooting.com and then we're going to punch in body armor And usually that will give us everything we need. Body armor. Let's see what happens here. Come on, give me a break. I do not need to search your favorite products. Are you kidding me? Okay, of course it's got to act up when I'm trying to use it. Anyway, let's just do a quick survey from the other direction and see what we can find. U.S. military load-bearing vests. to search my favorite products. Okay let's see. Body armor. I will try this again. There we go. Well we got two plate carriers, body armor, combat shirt, body armor. Let's go by. Let's go with body armors in 13. It should be all the items and then some. Okay here we go. Now $190 for basically the same kind of vest we're looking at level 3A right there on the page. They also have for the German flak armor, which we've bought a lot of. You're going to see a lot of that stuff on our guys. You're looking at $80 present price. It used to be cheaper. Apparently they're past the... Hold on here before we go any farther. It used to have, if you look, there's a notation about quantity. Nope. That deal is gone now. Okay. So, $80 because that's what it costs and people over in Europe are killing each other in the Ukraine, so body armors of any kind is more valuable to everybody in general now, guys. One of the solutions might be to use the Osprey systems because those are set up with the pockets. I would probably go the Airsoft. It looks like they're going stupid price now on all these here. Whoa, dudes. Yep, I think what I would do is point myself towards the airsoft carriers and pick out one that matches my armor and it would have to be an overhead type because Can't have a slit in the front because it's going to be a solid panel front solid panel rear you can buy those So that would be the way to go and it would be an inexpensive way to go to put a lot of equipment together You know quick and easy Otherwise the same vest that they were sewing and it actually sold out it was 110 190 and they're sold out They do have the black German ballistic vest. I believe those are threat level two for $100, but they're sold out. Wow, that's cool. The other variation is like $500. Whoo, that's not cool. Polish body armor, KLV, they still have that for $100. Just give you an idea of the difference in price and since these wars have been going, and of course we also know what's happening in the US, the price for body armor has been jacking. and the stuff that we were getting here for $40 a vest if you bought three at a time you can get them for like $21, $22 they don't have that sale no more. So that's gone. Anyway, we're at the top Quartermaster Friday. We've got BK coming up at 8 o'clock. More covering there, but meanwhile, it's taking over at Militia Town Hall. I'm going to go out and start working and get my tools covered up for the evening. As you know, guys, we're heading into the weekend.
