You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's 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 and you've traded in your name You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children won't be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you 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 him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Is this still the land of the people? 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 propertytreeradio.4mg.com Indiana Freedom Talk Radio dot com. We're on AM&FM microstations, CEB base stations and old technologies east and west of the Mississippi along with Alaska. Hallmark Network from the top of Maine to the bottom of Florida. From the bottom of Florida across the arc of the Gulf of Mexico. Headed to Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Oklahoma, big chunk of Nebraska. Whole bunch of Wyoming to include both 3rd, 5th, and our friends in the recall state of Colorado. Waving the left coast we have the great state of Jefferson. We turn back to the east sweep across the plains, leap over the Mississippi and land in the Smokies with the restaurant crews, grandma teams, Okay teams, and the mom, Belle, Grandma Consortium, bring us the Golden Spide. Well, I'll tell you what, Don, it has been a great day down here, actually. I can't really complain about the weather at all, though it's been cool. Still got that wind, well, actually cold air. It's not wind. We got it clear out of the north, but had sunshine all day. All of the solar items are just cooking. The solar panels are at max as far as output goes, and the breeze are well charged. I'm going to add another battery to one unit just because we have been really hammering with the ones that are set up. For everybody out there, it is a beautiful, again, communications Tuesday. Don, what's the date? What is happening up in your neck of the woods and what's jumping off the wall, please? Hey, it is the 10th day of February, year of our Lord 2015. I could say ditto for the weather. Beautiful day, lots of sun. dinky amounts of intermittent clouds which intermittent intermittent clouds not to be redundant with the use of the word on today the 10th day of February. We got a little bit I got to leave at the bottom here but Mark when you talk about that sunshine and solar panels you guys we've addressed this before in the winter and it's a little late for it but you know a black panel in a sunny window with a little computer fan in it wow you're gonna reduce your heating bill. that black panel, a black box, so to speak, heating up and every few minutes that little computer fan comes on and moves all that hot air up into the top of the room and then it turns off for a minute and lets that... sometimes they can be so efficient that that computer fan just runs and runs and it's just dumping when the sun is shining on that box that fills a southern exposure window. Isn't that Mark? Oh, it's actually one of the most efficient little systems, hot black hot boxes. There was a company here in Michigan that was selling those for external installation guys on south walls. And to this day, actually, I think, I don't know if some of the people who bought the houses, because I know the houses have changed hands, I don't know if they know what they've got on the wall. I don't know if they're hooked up. be quite honest because it's like, well, do you know what you've got going on there? You know what that is. In as many cases, the units, the black box, has actually covered the whole south face of the narrow side of a house. And they're really not facing the roads or they're not noticeable except that you've got a glassed in plastic, plexiglass, or glassed in surface that's about 6-8 inches deep and they created channels so it circulates and charges on itself as it moves through building up calories. Easily, like you said, you could heat the house through to way past sunset. There is a thermal regulator, the whole nine yards, you put a thermostat in there. The system shuts down, the little flapper is shut and does not allow any cold air in, but when the heat is back up, when the box goes back up to temp, the little louver opens up and the little fans start to go, you know, because they're, like I said, computer fans. And guess what? You got yourself the sun doing all the work for you. A lot less cash spent on special projects that way. Oh yes. Take a thermometer and put it by one of your furnace outlets. You guys have gas and propane and electric heat, forced air heat. Some of you might have gravity heat. Put a thermometer there and see what the temperature is coming out. Because when we brought this subject up a couple years ago, I think it was, someone called in and said, you know Mark, I built one of those boxes in my window and I've got 135 degree heat coming out of the top of that box. Now, that might not be your box. And granted, that was probably a good clear sunny day with sun just beating in there. And it all would have gone to waste had that person not built that box. So again, you guys, sometimes it's good to learn to live on the cheap because it's oh boy that you know, you're not paying the gas company or the electric company or the propane company or you're not shuffling out in the cold to get more wood, you know, but all you do is lose one of your big windows. If you do it right next to another window, if you've got a couple of panes there, well, you don't really lose the view, do you? You know, we tell you to keep looking around and it wouldn't be good to do this to a the whole, everyone, the south part of the building would it, Mark? Unless you've got a building all camera-ed up. That's another form of communication, isn't it? Exactly. Well, you know, there's another thing that we've kind of wondered about. It would have to look to see how efficient some of these little micro thermal fans are. But, you know, in reality, if we could push or control it with a proper Venturi, actually generating even a little bit of like power to battery cells with a mini wind turbine utilizing the same process that we're talking about. It would be kind of fun to see what you could actually develop with this because once you get a draft going, remember that the, by the way for everybody let's remember that today the fans aren't going to be run off your power grid, they're run off solar. Right now go to Harbor Freight, you've got five different solar panels available guys. Those middle sized ones that are small would run any of the fans that you need to install. So your initial cost would be anywhere from $8 to $15 depending on what you want to spend. And that you would hook direct drive up to the fan. And the fan of course you could have put one second switch control for both the louvers and for the fans. in the of you know with a thermal control thermostat control so it shuts on or you know it turns on and off depending on how much heat you're getting but even in cloudy days you know like where you just have cloud overhead cloud cover these units still produce heat oh yeah and as long as you have light you still have power for the fans Now the fun thing would be with one of these little micro generators that they've got a bunch of them that you know with the thermal rise itself creates a certain amount of circulation. Some people use beer cans, pop cans, you know to create the channels. And what they do is they poke holes in them and they stack them one inside the other. The other trick is just to make a rat maze, you know like an ongoing snakey rat maze. And as it works through there the calorie buildup creates even of itself creates a draw since heat rises And that, of course, can push a number of little objects, if done right, along with these solar fans that are pulling power too. So it's kind of funny in that you could actually generate little setting or do some really cool stuff whether it would be neat, just as an after effect, a side effect of what it is that you're generating in the way of energy just from the sun. The neat thing is that the whole thing can be self-contained today. Your thermostat can even run off the solar control too, guys. That's been the norm. When we did the greenhouse, one of the modifications we did to the greenhouse here of the PVC pipe version using the thermostat from the hardware store and a little batch of solar panels to run a 12-volt car battery. We didn't stick with that system only because at the time, it was a little pricier and batteries we didn't have the source we have now because the batteries were tired. I mean, we didn't use brand new batteries. We bought a brand new battery, spent $60 to $80. Then you'd probably be looking at full service for the life, for the duration, whatever you wanted to do for the season with regard to circulating the air and running the thermostat. Because remember, it's nonstop. Because things even get warm in the greenhouse at night, especially once you have plants growing. And you don't just need it for heat. You also need to circulate and pull heat later on. That's the other half of the formula. Once you get into the real growing season, then you have for that, you know, during the day you'll get tremendous heat, but you'll start to lose calories, obviously. It gets a little cooler. They're not quite ready to be planted yet. Well, you may need to pull heat during the day. That's what the other part of the thermostat does in operating fans that pull so that you don't have that, you know, 140 degree weather inside the greenhouse and turn it into a mock desert. First, it will be a tropical rain forest, but after a while the plants have no more moisture to pull and then poor little things. It looks like the edge of the Sahara, you know, like you're on the grasslands. Everything is wrinkly brown. So again, great solution. Thanks for bringing that up, Don. We still have time to do it. If you haven't thought about this before, you could do that right now and do an experiment with cardboard. Oh yeah, there's a couple months more worth of heating bills, aren't there? Absolutely. The thing is, 12 volt computer fans work flawlessly. A little heads up, by the way, something that I did notice, and this is an experiment we're doing right now, using the existing solar panels and the car batteries. Right now, the truck stop, the little cheapy plug-in to the ashtray lighter heaters. Guys, those have traditionally been kind of noisy. The squirrel cage type, brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr It's not going to be like your car blower, but you know what, if you have an enclosed area and you already have a solar system up, and especially during the day, you're going to have a surface of energy. Well, you can do something with it, and especially during the winter, it's another way to start charging up or activating and warming up the rooms or the area just to keep it at service temperature. It doesn't have to be cooking you out of the house. Right. All it has to do is just continue to generate heat. If the doors aren't opening and closing, if you've got an area that you just want to charge it, remember if you have a center room or a side room is charged and there's an upper room, heat travels up. So if the room is centralized or has more than one wall facing inward, connected inward, remember that heat is going to progressively radiate. That calorie work helps to charge the building. And that's the kind of thing you want to be thinking about. How can you efficiently deploy the technology so that it gets you that much more out of whatever heat you've generated, that much more time and usage out of it. So just something to take into consideration. What's really cool is car battery. timer control, a $15 little heater unit, and large solar panel. Congratulations. We already have the solar panel in place. We already have the batteries. We just got a bunch of new ones. And now the heater unit is going to be plugged in, and it's going to be circulating in the station to see what's going on. So it's another way to take advantage of the equipment that runs all day nonstop anyway. Those little solar panels chug out the electricity no matter what. How about burn it off so it doesn't overheat the batteries? It serves the purpose as it was intended to keep the rest of the bills down. Another idea, for a whopping $15 if you already have a solar system in place. I stepped away for a moment Mark, but one of the footnotes here, you guys if you're walking around a garage sale or something, it was fashionable a few years ago. You saw them all For a couple years running, you saw them in the auto stores and other places, resale shops and whatnot, the dollar stores, a solar ventilation fan for your car. Remember those, Lord? Oh, yeah. Yeah. You just crack the window and you put the hangness in the window and you come back and man, your car's all cool instead of, you know, heat it up like an oven. Boy, oh boy, if you were to come across one of those for five bucks at a garage sale where there's a couple of those three gallon tin cans, don't pass them up. Now you've got a heating system. All you need is a black panel and a window to bolt it into. Now the other thing here, there are some other tricks. There's been several different designs that are up on YouTube. Two numerous to mention, guys. Your best bet is just take a look at what they have in the way of solar alternate heating like that. It's purely a matter of how sophisticated you want to get or what you have laying around in the way of building supplies. The other thing, if you're looking for, for instance, doing an external system, I will remind you again, window companies are constantly throwing away windows. You go to a place where they've got the two-piece slide-up, slide-down windows. Usually those will come out as modules. They will take those out, and then they'll take the frame out to whatever degree they need to, install the new windows, and away they go. Well, then they've got all these windows. They're all from the same house. They're mostly the same size. So you have a standard pattern frame to work with for your thermal surface area where you're going to let the sunlight pass in. I mean you can bolt them together like standing dominoes. Yeah, and two by fours or two by actually the one thing is one by fours for instance. If you want to go a little girthier, you go with a two by four outer frame and one by four for your inner support panels. Your back wall can be whatever plywood or chipboard you happen to have a lot of or you would choose to buy and cut accordingly. In fact, if your goal is maybe to use one 4x8 sheet, then map it out accordingly. If the window is so wide, you should be able to cut, you know, like stack so many from the top to bottom on the 8 foot stretch, and then you calculate your depth based upon how much wood you have left over off to say the side of that cut. If it's a a 24 inch window, then whatever you have left in that other two feet, that determines the depth of your box if you want. Of course it doesn't have to be that deep, but you can use the plywood to actually panel in the sides. You'll still need a few pieces top and bottom. And then you run your line accordingly. I would use PVC pipe. I know a lot of people use flexible line. I just like the idea that you can find PVC pipe for little or nothing and you can paint that all black too. And you know what, for what short channel, you try to minimize your distance from your solar unit if you're going to put it outside the window or outside of the house. Minimize the distance to where you're going to inject it into the house as a heating system. That way you're not losing it in the ducting. You're not losing calories in the ducting process. Now you can also insulate those. There's all kinds of solutions there. Not usually talked about, but if you look at construction sites, you'll find all the different types of insulation technology available. So you could even protect that from a good person with a calorie loss that might normally take place. The big thing again, paint it black if you're going to just use it outside for the short distance and everything. It'll just look better. Paint everything. Go get yourself some dollar store paint. We've got an Ollie's store which is like Big Lot, but it has a lot of the industrial stuff that Big Lot doesn't necessarily have anymore. And one of the things that's been showing up there are virtually dozens of crates of a certain color of paint, spray paint. The last time around they had a really interesting dappled gray trunk paint. The stuff worked great. I went back to get more. Somebody else thought it was great too, Dom. They had like 50 cases of it and it was all gone. I got sent to the store for a case of plaid paint once. No, I... those little... the Scottish watercolor who was trying to make a very interesting trunk interior when the time comes for a custom car. Well, you know that dapple gray green? Oh, they have gray browns. Yeah, it's very common. The thing is that the stuff is upper end paint. It was for automotive use. So whoever grabbed it, with where it works really well, guys, think about it as camouflage paint. Have you ever taken that stuff and used it on something and taken it outside into the woods? That dapple gray, you take that with a dapple brown and create a camo pattern with that? And it's a fog. I mean, it does a good job of blending it with everything. So that may have been what somebody decided to use it for, because the stuff was that's why I went back for it. I was like, hey, we're going to try this. But it was like, yeah, well, we would have. So again, you're looking for cheaper, inexpensive solutions. Needless to say, we want the interior of the box, or preferably even the whole box, just be black on black on black on black. That way it's constantly absorbing heat from all directions. every surface is collecting calories and then transferring whatever through the air duct system that you've got set up so that it generates again heat for the house. That's what you're trying to do. You're putting the calories in the house. Another thing on that is there are some water heater systems that people have come up with that are kind of interesting too that are in a similar vein. Oh, you could get 135 degrees of hot air, if you had standing water in there and moved it out bit by bit, I think you could fill up a hot water with 120, 130 degree water. If it was insulated, you might only use a few degrees, lose a few degrees. But if you had a bank of hot water tanks at 135 degrees filled and warmed through a nice sunny day, one could divert that water. and draw fans over radiators and use that heat through the night. That's where you get into a heat pump system. Some people have even gone so far as to using the television screens. That's what we're talking about creating a television oven guys. using it also to create a water heater system on the same vein as what we're talking about using the television tubes to focus the energy onto a copper line and it works like a supercharger. It activates, in fact, one of our friends, Sergeant E, he actually had perfected an entire system. He had really mapped it out. He did all the research on it. Easily you could do a 200 or 300 gallon reservoir that would be at higher temperatures, quite a bit higher than even what we'd use for tap water. But the purpose would be to create either a central heating system using water heat rather than steam, or even generating steam depending upon how focused the activators were that you banked on the copper pipe. And the thing is that remember you've got big screen television tubes out there guys that are three feet across. Rather than going in the landfill or being destroyed or damaged, you break everything down, follow the instructions, and you've got a big focal lens that goes back to that down along that angle to that location where that cannon is located. And all that becomes your furnace. You can melt metal with those. That's already been demonstrated. But in this case, needless to say, we're not going to try and we're not going to bank them the way that they were talking about for creating a multi-focused kiln, basically. We're looking at just activating bank after bank side by side, activating the water, and as it passes through by the time it gets to the end of the bank, it's up to temperature and stays there. If you had a basement and were willing to do this, if you had a walk-in basement, you could do this rather readily. You see these two and three hundred sometimes 500 gallon big plastic water tanks for storage for stock If one were to roll a couple of those into the basement Now you don't have the outside exposure and that's a pretty big big bank of hot water if you wanted to use those You see those in the country sometimes for a hundred dollars Used granted but a hundred dollars 500 gallons of hot water storage ever to be moved again. And again, you just keep watching for other televisions that get set aside, kids. When the time comes, you pick up more, you've got more technology, those will easily store off to the side. Remember, it's the lensing system you're trying to preserve. And the fact that it's all encapsulated into one big cathode ray tube that is easily, of course, converted when the time comes. Think about it. Mark, I've got to say, one of the films that's been running in the media the last four hours is, some fool robbed a bank or a liquor, but he's fleeing from the cops. He might have hijacked a cop. He runs into a number of other cars. They're filming him from the helicopters. And he totals one car and gets out of it, and runs over to another car and takes the poor woman out of the car. And she runs away, and he's driving in that car now. Now, he wrecks a car on the expressway, but he's got cars slowed down enough, this is comical, he's got cars slowed down enough that he tries to jack another car on the expressway. And he's running along the sides of cars waving his gun telling these people to stop. How much you want to bet, Mark? None of them did. So the police caught him. You can see this video probably on YouTube or Google it or whatever, but it's It's funny as all get out. Come back, come back. I can't. I don't know how to stop this thing. I'm not going to stop for that crazy person with a gun. I'm going to push my foot down on the gas. How many times have you said that on the air? The car is heavier than the biped. You know what I mean? Yeah. Basic rule. Just remember duck. I'm surprised somebody just didn't make a sharp left turn on them. Catch them with the quarter panel in the back wheel. That's right. Well, later, that'll put him off to the ground for a bit so I get past him. The other person is going to be in trouble behind me, maybe. He might get a little more offended. But oh, well. Well, we're almost at the bottom right now. Don, have you got to take off for you? I got to go, Mark. OK, for everybody out there, guys, Don, your number for night vision technology will go to the bottom of the hour break, I think. Ed's right there. Hey, I've got those first generation binoculars, you guys. A small number of them. If you're interested, give me a call. My number is 2. 2317968458 Again, 2317968458 Thank you. We're gonna go to break. We'll be back in just a little bit here. Dom's headed out. We've got Larry coming up this evening for the evening intel report. You guys pay attention to our sponsors. Remember guys, to support our sponsors that are supporting the Liberty Tree radio. Thank you, Dom. Thank you, Mark. God bless America. Yes we are the sons, the sons of Liberty. Let us help you find the right shotgun or rifle for you. Or if you're looking for a pistol or concealed carry, we have a nice selection of compact and subcompact pistols for that too. Check out our website at www.libertiesguardian.com. That website again is www.libertiesguardian.com. Go to the website and check out our selection today. End of the Revolution. Thank you for listening to LibertyTreeRadio.4MG.com. We all need to prepare ourselves. You might have the food, water, gold and silver, but ask yourself, are you truly prepared? That's why you need to visit MaineMilitary.com. MaineMilitary.com carries everything you need. Gas masks, fire starter kits, high capacity magazines, chemical suits, military surplus items, and much more. Do you own a firearm? MainMilitary.com has a large selection of pistols and rifles suited for your needs. Are your local stores sold out of ammunition? Call or visit them today for prices on hard to find ammo and bulk ammo orders. You don't need to worry about having a military surplus store in your area because MainMilitary.com is the only store you'll ever need all from the comfort of your computer. Visit them online today at MainMilitary.com. That's Main, like the state, Military.com. uh... people that are out there uh... connecticut pretty much everybody will seek an etiquette residents completely nor do you got lost only four percent of illegal guns and ammo registered got a member of that that ammo thing is tied in kids and we know what the communists are about their in connecticut we understand what the communists are about across country So for everyone, take the time, organize, arm, equip, and train as militia because the bad guys have no choice but try to come out and rape, kill, pillage, and burn. When they try to come out and rape, kill, pillage, and burn, it's what royalty always does, especially when they're trying to reassert themselves in a nation state where we kind of broke the chains. Well, they've gotten a lot of their junk in place, so they figure they do know that possession is 9-10s of the law. Our weapons are keeping them off our backs the rest of the way. If they get that done and out of the way then they can get on with more raping, killing, pillaging and burning which is really what they just love. Letting a black uniform, knuckle dragging, short neck bald, headed, roided up turds do it. So be prepared for it and that means also vote with your wallet and buy more ammunition. Another thing is, Tom pointed out batteries, batteries and batteries. We do harp on it with communications, but that's because most people don't think about it. Or, again, if you're going to use alkali batteries, you better have a pile of them there because once you start using equipment, or especially leave it on open monitor, handheld units are going to consume batteries. So I preferably, while you grab all the batteries, you can't alkali, rechargeable, of any kind. I don't care what it is. If somebody has them laying around or you can find them in the future, obviously you're going to cycle them back into use. But know more about batteries and how they work, or alternate power that can provide, again, replacement for the batteries, or reduce use of the batteries until they're needed. This is especially important. We've talked about solar power. You can run direct solar power as long as you know what you're doing with pretty much any piece of radio equipment that's out there. And remember that the lion's share of anything that's dash mounted or is even table mounted A good portion of the small boxes are 12 volt. I mean, think about it. If it's a marine radio, it's typically 12 volt. If it's a car system of any kind, it runs off a 12 volt ash tray plug. It might actually have to convert. Some have even a converter that switches it up or down power-wise, typically down. Say, you have a 12 volt supply, but it may need to step it down to, say, 9.6 volts, depending upon if whether or not the manufacturer wasn't paying attention to that basic common rule with regard to electronics. You know about what's most common. Well it does happen and it is out there so just get used to it but know the values of your equipment and then act accordingly to provide ultra power supplies guys. The latest thing in the field and obviously already being used overseas you've seen these are the Rollei-Polei flexible solar panels. They can lay on the backpacks. Everybody has a variation on it. And so for all of you that are out there, again take the time and remember that take the time and plug in to the different sources. MainMilitary.com has one of those roll up type or folder type flexible solar panels. I would remind you that guys are reasonably priced. Again, pick and choose. It's up to you whatever model you want to go with. Remember these can be carried or can be in the station when you get to a location so that they're working 100% of the time during the day to backup your batteries, store and bank supplies. For everybody out there, again, if you're going to Take the time and do a little research. Find what fits your budget, obviously, and also what fits your mission. I would point out that I've mentioned Harbor Freight. Harbor Freight's not the only one that has these visor-sized gray units, but they seem to consistently have them around the country, number one. Two, they're about $15 a unit, and for a lot of the static work that you're going to be doing, they will work flawlessly. So, again, just some take into consideration, how can you make those work for you? Okay? And that's something that needs to be taken into consideration, especially at this point in time where we're looking at more and more of China's support being cut off, that little burp on the west coast, probably the best example. The lion's share of the battery work being done as far as battery construction is being done. outside of the country. If it's on the ships or stuck on the dock overseas, not likely that you're going to be the one able to access anything. If you're the more remote you are, the more into the center of the country away from places where stuff can get smuggled or snicked across the border, the deeper you get into the country, the more expensive it would be on the black market, guys. Okay, just taking a consideration there. You need to make sure that you follow the process to get everything done and out of the way as quickly as possible to put the battery systems in place. and to know again how they function, how they operate, backup systems of whatever kind. Larger storage batteries are available that are still not very big. Okay, by comparison. 12 volt batteries can be found in the dry cell or sealed wet cell that are used for emergency lighting. I've talked about this millions of times. Brown shell, black shell or gray shell batteries. I've got probably, hell, I think I've picked up, I've got 14. of these battery backup charger systems that certain companies keep tossing out. For whatever reason or what their criteria is, I don't know because so far the ones I've tested, I really haven't had time to check them all. I get them once every four days or so I get one. Most of them work. They probably have a certain output and they need that for their data battery backup or for their emergency system. The idea behind it is the charging system, the connectors, the cable, everything's there. It's a self-contained system. You can buy it with staples. The batteries are there. Remember, I've pointed this out time and again. If you have a bank of batteries, if you have a number of batteries, in a system like your cell phone packs. Don't throw those cell phone battery packs out. Why? Well, because the fact of the matter is that you have a whole bunch of batteries in there that are just fine. Typically it's one cell that's gone down the tubes. Okay? And that's something that most people don't really think about. It's like, well, there's a battery pack there. Well, take a look at the size of the batteries. Even if it's a two-third AA, okay, one of the one, two, three batteries, remember that if you're in a battery bank like that little pack, all you do is get a tester, guys, and testers are dirt cheap. And you can confirm the value of each of the batteries that you're working with there. And it only takes a moment to find the bad tooth. Now, would I throw even the bad tooth out? Well, I don't throw any rechargeable battery out unless it's oxidizing and really going to hell in a hand cart. Otherwise, for certain projects where I might want something to go boom down the road and I need a one-way power source, power supply, I only need a little bit of voltage to get something to cap to go boom. Well, batteries are batteries are batteries for that. Again, I'm not going to cry about losing the last junk that's in the inventory. The lowest goes first. Remember, you can always bank up the tired batteries. You don't have to use just one. You can take more than one or two or three of those double-A or triple-A batteries and make a garbage battery pack out of them. It's not hard to do, but the idea behind it is that you can use that power, especially if it's attached to something, so when you hit the switch or somebody steps on the metal plate which makes contact with the other metal plate, boom, boom, there she goes. I think that worked well enough that one last time, didn't it? Now, the other thing about batteries is maintenance. Kind of like in your magazines, in your weapons, where you got to take them magazines out and wipe them down with a dry cloth and then you chuck out all the ammo and then wipe all the ammo down and reload after you've inspected the mag, cleaned out the inside, wiped out the dirt, wiped out the moisture so your cartridges don't oxidize. Same is true with your battery maintenance on any of your equipment. A lot of people just figure it's going to be there. If you use the China dollar store batteries that are out there, Remember those are the iron core, they weren't making those here, they have been making them there. They do work, but remember degradation is pretty quick and there will be a leaker every so many batteries if they're tired. When they go tired, they leak. Now that's not good for any of your equipment internally, so let's avoid that by making sure we do again a take-out on the batteries. And we do regular maintenance. After all, you're not out there for entertainment. When you're on the battlefield and you're in a fighting situation, it is a work environment. Always remember that. It is a work. And that's how you need to treat it. So battery maintenance is part of that. Also, as I've said before, extra earbuds, extra mics. I don't care what they are, but make sure you've got some spares rolled up in your kit with a personal FRS or whatever kind of walkie-talkie radio you're going to use. China Sport works fine for spares. Just remember again, you're constantly searching for better garbage on the battlefield. Somebody's got a headset. If it matches yours and it's on an enemy warm corpse, it comes off and goes with you. Not necessarily with the radio, because it may not serve your purpose, but remember, all those accoutrements may blend in just fine. You get the drift? And that includes scavenging batteries just because something is beat up or crushed doesn't mean it can't be scavenged for components, guys. If you see a damaged radio, remember, tweak off that little nub radio antenna, unscrew that from the top, pull the battery pack, if there's any knobs even, try to pull the knobs off, get them off the rig. If it's a little handheld because there's other equipment that will lose them there's other people that might need them Start building up a maintenance kit that way off the enemy's warm dead corpse Remember, they're nothing but a mobile resupply pod treat them accordingly But even if the stuff shot up pull everything off it that is useful Anything that's still serviceable put it into a junk bucket take it back sort it out later Anyways, last but not least, we're heading towards the top. Oh my goodness, already. Real quick, and I've seen this, by the way, to Luca. I want to say good afternoon for our friend Luca Zaina, and remember his music at www.zaina.us. That's www.zaina.us. Also, we've got some traveling issues we need to be taking care of. We have, of course, a big chunk of stuff that needs to get out to California. If we have any of our drivers, if you're going to be heading all the way out to California, slash Northern California, slash, you know, State of Jefferson. Then we're going to need to get in contact if we can rendezvous if you're heading down 80 or 94. Obviously probably 80 headed westbound then let us know and we'll see if we can work out some for a rendezvous out west and we can move more of this stuff out to where it needs to be. In terms of the computers I got a whole stack of just exactly what Henry is using. So, we need to get about to where he is, and if we have to ship them, we ship them, but if we could have somebody tender loving care, truck them all the way out there, that would be kind of nice. So, maybe they can hitchhike out to the great state of Jefferson, see what we can do. The other thing, again, I would remind you too, magazines, I did not look, but keep an eye on CDNN investments. CDNN investments. cdnninvestments.com. Go to their email and catalog sales for the day. Check out what they've got. You never know what you're going to run into there, guys. And they've had some really good buys for the small mags. Not super prices on everything, but the select. I know they're good because people are sweeping in and cleaning them out on a day. So you've got to catch them as they go. Especially if you guys are setting up a unit right now. I know Connecticut is now going to be in high gear. I understand that the New York militia units are doing the same thing. Everybody is squaring away the stuff that they've got. tactical support and inter-unit communications are the next thing that's being worked on with tactical support as far as web gear, resupply, food stuffs, all that is on the shopping list. They're working on that as quickly as they can get it done. Everybody knows what's coming. Colorado, I would recommend the same thing. Remember guys, check the clearance sections. Better to have a thousand of something and reo squared away but not state, in other words, not the latest fashion statement. Web gear is web gear is web gear. It all works. Depending on the weapon system you're carrying, it works better than some of the newer stuff if it's older because it was built for the weapon system that you probably purchased. The best example, the 10 pocket cartridge belts from World War II, there's a bunch of reproductions. They were pricey when they came out because they were built to World War II spec. Not as popular. We're going to down curve on that for a little bit. It's not going to last. Then it's going to start going up in price again. But the World War II standard 10 pocket cartridge belts were designed for two 5 round stripper clips, a high powered rifle ammo or an 8 round D clip for a Grand. And you can stack those. One of the tricks that one of our guys did is did the airborne configuration like what the Germans did. He took one of the cartridge belts, he had one that was seconds from one of the surplus companies. and he detached it from the back strap that goes around, you know, that connects the two belts. And then he re-affixed two of the one half of the belt, five pockets, up the suspender strap on the front on his Alice gear. And then did the other one on the other side so he has the ten pockets around the base and then ten more pockets riding horizontally up the side of his gear. Now remember that in the World War II version of this, because everybody goes, Mark, those are just kind of flopping around. No. In the World War II versions, and World War I especially, where they started this, there's an internal keeper snap that retains the two stripper clips, or the D-clip, inside the pocket. Most of you may not have seen that, because varying models towards the middle and end of the war did not necessarily have that configuration, but the better quality reproductions do. Or, you might find some surplus laying around. There's still a lot of it out there that's just gone stupid price. I used to buy those belts for $4 to $6 apiece and a lot of troops have them because we get a lot of Springfield's. We basically did the same thing. Watch for damaged rigs where something's already fragged and you can make the horizontal system in a few minutes without any big effort or a major cost. and then add on the rest of your gear accordingly as needed, your canteens, extra, you know, for instance, pistol, pistol holster. magazines for additional ammunition or gear, pouches, forgive me, not magazines, pouches, and then pack up your gear accordingly. And mix and match. It doesn't have to be American. It does not have to be TA-56 or TA-90 gear. There's a lot of Euro stuff that works really well for some people. There's the triple mag, FAMAS mag pouches. They slab side them the way they laid them. There's three, they hold three individual mags and three cells. There's a bunch of German stuff that's out there that's German web gear or Dutch web gear that matches the TA90 gear. Most of that is in DPM cam or Woodland or some of it even in Flecktarn. So if you're looking for camo, it can be found. But you're going to have to cherry pick from the system. Most important is commit to something and get it done as quick as possible. If you buy it out, match up something closer, outfit another unit the same way. One of the biggest complaints they had is that they're needing thousands of items. And I've pointed out again, well, no big deal. Pool your resources, buy out that sale item. Now, you're going to be seeing this more and more as these larger groups of people commit to the process and that's why I brought up CDNN. I think that's already happening. They put stuff on sale where they had several hundred of this or cases of that and it got cleaned out in a few minutes because some people just walked in and smacked down all the money they had and walked away with the whole pile. And that's going to happen because people are taking very seriously what they see coming as far as the wall. So when that hits, the sky's the limit. We're in a battlefield situation then kids. We've got to be prepared for that. Last but not least, don't forget water storage everywhere. Water storage everywhere, water storage everywhere. Water is life. Wars, battles, little small actions have been lost for the lack of water. So we need to be thinking ahead. The more containers you have for water storage, better off you'll be. The more diversified it is, in other words, spread out, one bullet isn't going to take out a 10 gallon container or a 5 gallon pail. Well, it doesn't mean you don't use those. But if you have a bunch of other smaller containers, that's going to kind of guarantee that there's a little more likely survivability there or some water still in the container, even if it does take a hit. Even if most of them take a hit, there'll be something with a little bit of water in it. You know what? Hey, a little bit of something is better than nothing. So we'll work with what we got. containers on that point, recycle bins, watch for the standard container, pick one out or pick a certain type and keep separating them and boxing them together. There's some really nice square juice containers that have no dead space. If you're going to store something in a box, might as well be solid. And that's the solution. Plus, they're the juice containers. They handle orange juice, so they handle acids, you know, juice acids. If that's the case, they won't have a problem handling your water at all. Other than that, We are at the top and for everybody out there we've got Joe from the Carolinas coming up next. So for everybody out there guys, we're in the growing season now. I already got and looking at one of the little plants I just started. I've got a couple of onions going already. I'm working on an experiment on peppers, pepper plants. I've got a seed that I can access pretty cheap in volume and I'm going to find out how well these will grow. If I can get them to sprout, they're going. But for everybody out there, you should not be looking at food production. We need to be on the upswing on that. You can get stuff going in the windows, in the little greenhouses, in the hot boxes. I've already explained to you, you can make some really neat even double panel hot boxes. Get the windows from the window company. Make double walls. Why not? In other words, you can have a double insulation. You can put a nice base board together with 2x6s, 2x8s. and a solid 2x4 deck or use a flat, a pallet flat for that. Insulate underneath that with Styrofoam or whatever. Then do your walls with the glass windows. Hey dad. You got yourself a roof. Go ahead dad. We are up at the top of the hour but I've been having a problem with Skype all day so we're doing a quick connect before we end the program. Joe, do we have you? Loud and clear. All right, so good. Got it fixed. I had to restart the computer four times to get that to work right. You know what, guys? We're in the same situation tonight as last night. And Joe, if you can hang around a little bit until I get in, that would be great if you can stick around a little bit into the Intel report with Larry. 10-4, I'll do my best, sir. And Ed, if you can help out, too, that'd be great. We're going to be doing this more often because we're in high gear here trying to get some of the signal stuff out of the way, and I've got to meet. a certain person who is traveling through the state here. Again, for our friends, I want to say thank you to all the people pitching in. And guys, this is how we're supposed to be able to do it. We can hand the baton off to each other as needed and help each other out. God bless the Republic. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. We're on a march. We'll be back right here in a little bit. Joe, take it over so I'm passing the torch off to him. You all pay attention. Guys, we're into the groan season. We've got to make food because we're going to feed our people. They're not going to starve. In fact, they're going to eat quite well if we have our way. Bye-bye. Thank you, sir.
