Live 365. 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? Oh, sons of the Republic, arise. Take a stand. Defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land. Preserve our great Republic in each God-given right. And pray to God to keep the torture freedom burning bright. As I awoke he'd vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true. We are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each God-given rite, 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 to still the land of the free? Ladies and gentlemen, this is the second hour of the afternoon intelligence report I'm currently currently. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both occupied territories. East, southeast, gentlemen you are listening to us on www.radio.4mg.com, www.indianafreedomtalkradio.com, run AM and FM micro stations, CB base stations, and ultra net technologies both 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 and Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Oklahoma, Big Junk of Nebraska whole bunch of Wyoming to include both 3rd, 5th, and our friends in the recall state of Colorado. Waving the left coast where we have the great state of Jefferson, we turn back to the east, sweep across the plains, leap over the burgeoning banks of the Mississippi, and land in the Smokies slash the Blue Ridge, where the restaurant crews, grandma teams, OK teams, and the mama bill, grandma consortium of retired telecommunications workers bring us the Golden Spike. Many hands make for light work a million Peddico Junction operators, the ability to continue to function when everything else is off. It has been a beautiful, beautiful week and then into the beginning of the week here and we're on and off rain though. And today, well while I'm talking, when we started the first hour, we got rain. And we still got rain. And things are getting green and growing. the plants are just kicking right now. In fact, the beans jumped up four inches today. They're just kind of watching that way. You know, yours probably had some, I'm not gonna set a camera. It's really kind of cool because one day worth of perfect weather with the moisture and then the heat and then the moisture, you can literally see the plants grow or see how they've changed. And it's fascinating because corn's the same way. Although corn can be phenomenal just in a matter of one day. And most people don't even realize that. It's like, you can literally hear corn growing, especially at night you can hear the as the leaves are rubbing against each other and the ears are expanding. Seriously, that's really cool. In this case, well, we'll see what happens because we got a whole lot of really cool stuff coming up this weekend. It is the 4th of July weekend coming up. They might try something. I'm going to answer you right off the bat. Mark, we've heard that. Well, okay, well, what are we going to do different? Rule number one, be prepared to fight. Okay, you should be organized. equipped and trained as militia. You need to at least do that as individuals. If they kick off something, are you prepared to deal with it? Do you have your bug out bags squared away? Do you have your combat kit and your home load ready to go if you're a militia? We go out as heavy infantry. Always remember that. If called upon and there is contact, you're going to be fighting as heavy infantry. Now, More on that in a minute. Have you been keeping your fuel tanks topped off? Did you pick up the spare tire like I told you about? Get a spare rim and a spare tire. You got your radio gear hooked up in your car. Is your radio squared away? Mine, I've got two sets that are charging right behind me. One of them that's in the vehicle all the time, there's always a set there now, that are the smaller for direct communication. So I don't have to shout if we have to get out of the vehicle. And when we're separated, if we do get out of the vehicles, so that we don't just have to use the cell phones. Tactical radio communications, you got all that squared away. What about water storage? Have you got your water storage up? Food production food right now. Like I said just before I started the program for this tour block I've been working on the garden on and off working on the machines I still did not you know I've got a list longer than I can get done I still didn't get the radiator out of the tactical truck and that's coming out I might even have to just cut it out just get it done and Fix the lines and replace them anyway, because they're all tired and old and need to be replaced But I gotta get it done out of the way. Too many things going on, not enough time to complete everything. Now, it could happen anytime. We don't know what the bad guys are stupid enough to do. This has been the problem, especially this year. People are saying, oh, they're not gonna do that, they're not gonna pass the toilet paper, you know, plus. It's not gonna happen, it was gonna be way out in July. Oh, look, they passed it! And it's exactly what we warned you about. You know, to the point where you'll notice I didn't get excited and I also just said, hey guys, here's what they do, remember? They always propose a bill, then they have a backup bill and they have a backup schedule and they tell you one thing and you're all supposed to go to sleep and then they do the other and it's totally different from whatever else they were doing. And in fact, it's like immediate. And oh my goodness, how could they do this? It's real easy. They plugged it in, they ran with the puppy and they did it. Now what part of that are you having a hard time with? Okay, they lie. So if the 4th of July weekend is when it starts, boy that would be kind of cool at the apropos, although the real Patriot Day is April 19th, 1775. Hey, if it starts on the 4th of July for this start of the war cycle that we're going to have to fight out in the North American continent, so be it. I'd say it's pretty cool. I mean, it could be any day of the year anyway. It's nice that it's during the summer when we celebrate the 4th of July, see, because Patriot's Day was not as much fun, because many parts of the country on April 19th, you're freezing your butt off! Or it's cold, at least it's thawed, but it's not really all that super warm or anything. You know what I mean? Not up in the northern parts of the country. And I think that's as much as anything, why they don't properly honor. Well, the Fourth of July is better for holiday money, whereas if you do the April 19th, which is really Patriots Day, the American War for Independence did not start on the Fourth of July. It started on April 19th, 1775. 14 going on 15 months before the Declaration of Independence was signed. It's why all the debating going on, it kept repeating, our men are already in the field of fighting. Why are you waiting? And they were. Okay, think about that. That's a year. Okay, 14 to 15 months is a year. So, we're in the same situation. If you wonder what it was like before April 19, 1775, you're living it. If you wonder what it was like to be in communist Russia before the communists, you know, did all their dirty deeds and started the Red Terror, you're living it. We have to fight that. We're on the high ground, but you need to be prepared. If you're gonna travel, organize, make sure you have a certain amount of food, make sure you have a travel bag with you. You know, your clothing, if you're terrified, oh, they could be searching the cars, oh, they got them on a pee-my-pants. Well, okay, don't put camouflage in there. Put tactical colored clothing in there. green pants, green shirt, gray, you know, like light gray green pants. Jacket can be sage colored. That'll work just fine. That'll break everything down. That'll just, you know, again, it'll help to disrupt. You can also make sure even the bag doesn't have to be camouflaged. There's no reason for that. Not if you are terrified of the idea that it will pee your pants over the... They might take my clothing! Well, just make sure the socks are OD green and gray and brown. Make sure that the underpants are colored. I mean, that's normal nowadays. You can buy brown, you can buy green, you can buy whatever color you want. So pick the colors that make sense. Go to the resale shops. Pack up a bag. I do this all the time. I get clothing. I've got... I've got like 200 pounds of clothing I've already sorted it out kind of I need to get it in boxes. What I do is I take the duffel bags I get for free the cargo and sports bags and I put a couple pairs of shoes or a pair of shoes I put three pairs of socks couple pairs of underpants and t-shirts. It's all in size range. I do small packages, medium size, and large and even extra large. I can throw you a bag that has 2x clothing in it. Everything you need for a person 2x or 3x. Why? Because I ran into this stuff and it's free. It's including just casual shorts, pants, t-shirts, dress shirts, maybe even a vest. Fleece clothing is in warm weather clothing, you know, or forgive me, cold weather clothing, warm gear, a number of other personal items, a couple of belts, gloves, etc., etc., and it doesn't cost me anything. Not even the bag it goes in costs anything. Then I bag it and tag it. Tag it for what it is, make sure you got some soap, toothbrush, any of the other dry good items you can put in there that are toiletry items. all of its on board i can throw a bag to you and basically just tell you walk that way keep going to get to such and such a location change out of the close you got put them in a garbage bag barium somewhere on the way or make sure they're completely out of sight out of mind In other words, you could disappear. And I can easily do that hundreds of times over because it's a religious thing I've done for years. Some of the people listening have five bags like that. Each one is a different, you know, like there's two that'll be medium, one that'll be small, one that'll be large, and one that's extra large. Always make sure you don't say, well, I want a bigger, I want to be a little spacey. No, I ain't gonna work that way. The ones that fit you best or are closest to your size and dimensions, if you fit a small, you're going to get a small. If you're going to fit a medium, you get a medium. That way, if we do have to make it fit, a big piece of clothing can fit on a smaller person, but it's kind of hard stretching it over their high end if it's too small. So there's some basic rules there. But the idea behind these pods is that I can also clothe people who are going to get caught off guard. We've got people coming out of FEMA camps. We've got people who have been grabbed or snatched, and we get them back. You know, we wipe out the characters that grab the people, kill every last one of them, slaughter them, strip them naked. Well, the other people are kind of, you're shivvled, they're messed up, they're gonna be kind of shaky. Well, here you go, here's your bag. Don't lose it. That's your issue right off the bat. This is all the stuff I've got. This is the way you've got clothing. We're going to cycle you back through the rear, reprocess you, find out exactly what happened with you, and then we're going to expect you to join the militia and help the fight for the cause. Oh, but I'm hurt and wounded. Don't worry, we'll patch you back up, and then we're going to put you right back on the line. Congratulations. Nobody else is doing that. The FEMA camp planned on killing you. So, guess what? Get over it, get focused, and let's get on with some revenge. Let's get on with finding the buggers and getting rid of them. Because anybody that's been grabbed like that, appropriately, they need some revenge. Just that simple. So anyway, a lot of other work to do, guys. Also again, holiday weekend, appropriately celebrate. You know what? Maybe this isn't the last holiday you're going to enjoy. You can always keep your eyes open for what's going on. You should be paying attention to your environment, but celebrate the 4th of July. Don't just go out there and suck beers until you flop over, you know, with your tongue hanging out and peeing yourself. How about we do, you know, some really cool stuff in the process and remember what the holiday represents. That's what everybody needs to do. So we get a lot of work ahead of us. Not going to slow down. It's going to do nothing but get faster, you know, bigger and there's going to be more problems. Another thing real quick with regard to the systems like this, I don't put fluids in there. I don't put, for instance, body lotions or liquid soap or water, for instance. That's a separate storage item. And I've learned a long time ago and the military learned this too. Those are perishables. Fluids will cross-contaminate and can damage material and equipment. You don't want that to happen. But that doesn't mean you can't have a second bag where here's your shoulder bag. There you go. It's got a shoulder strap, carry handle or backpack. And it's a utility neutral thing. You don't want bright colors. We don't want oranges. We don't want pinks. We want neutral colors. Grays, browns, greens, whatever. And on top of that, here's your food packet. Now that food packet has water. It's going to have so much water. It's going to have so much in the way of reconstitutable food. It's going to have some munchies. It's a mix of stuff. The idea behind this is that we now have the person able to clothe themselves, cover their hind ends, summer or winter, and continue to function. Now it's their responsibility to maintain what we just provided for them. They should be doing that. I don't think there should be any complication. Pretty straightforward to appreciate that. We're trying to keep you alive. Government was trying to kill you. Yeah, that works. So again, just a heads up. Now with regard to where do I find bags and stuff like that? Guys, it's not that hard at all. In fact, just a reverse. In fact, if you check with a lot of the church places, they throw half of what they get away in bags. If you told them to save like tote bags slash, you know, gym bags slash utility clothing bags, you'd probably end up with more than you know what to do with. Now take the ones that are colored because you just tell them to save them all. And you know why? Well, you know what? You give those to the kids, let the munchkins tear them up, use them for stuff that's, you know, foo-foo stuff around the property so it's consolidated. Easier to get out of your way when you start looking at a tactical situation. And also, there's a lot of bucklers and straps and stuff that you might be able to use for repairing or to build other stuff. Go check and see what a price for a couple of those bucklers and quick release connectors are. So you got a couple of bags you got. They got a black, typically they have black or they have gray or they have a brown strap even if they are colored in fufu color. Sometimes they color match but that costs money. Typically they do not. So the straps and the keepers and the hangers and the figure eight suspension systems are all in a already tactical color or in black one way or another. Take those, strip everything off, cut off the pink fufu cloth, but don't worry about separating the cloth from the strapping where it's sewed to it, just cut off the excess, toss out the excess where it's a damaged bag or whatever, and save the rest, put it into a bin. Now if you need connectors, keepers, strap hangers, clips, whatever, guess what? You've got spare parts. Oh, there's methademar crazy madness. Yes, yes there is. So, next, and this has to do with again the idea of supply and support. Radio communications, we had a couple questions this morning about headsets and I know the guys helped out by posting a bunch of different ones in the chat room. And if you guys can repost those for all of our friends listening in the afternoon, they may not be there in the morning. Now the reason I bring this up is because if you're going to buy equipment, First of all, be completely familiar with the handheld radios that you're buying accoutrements for. Now, what am I talking about? Well, for instance, headsets, which really hands-free operation with VOX, with voice to talk technology, especially with the new radios, are very sensitive. The one thing you want to do is make sure that if you buy something it plugs into it. You know that goes into goes on to kids Very common mistake. It's like well. They're all the same. It's like no your Kenwood is different your Keith you know Keith group your you know bao Jing your babe, babe young you know, Baltham radio There are listed that way when you go to deal extreme. You'll see the same picture times 10 20 30 different postings Well they're not reposting the same product. Each one of those has a connector specific to a certain family of radio. Look and read. So don't just assume the first one you see, oh that's what I need right there. Click, click. And wow, I got it in the mail. Mark was a dummy. I doesn't fit. He's a dummy. Another guy told me, the backstabber told me he's a dummy. Well I'm gonna repeat again. Read. Read my pasty friends. First of all, confirm the model and type that you need headsets for, hangers for, pouches for, whatever. When you go to deal with Extreme or all these other companies, they list all of the individual systems and they do have. Now some, they'll be out of stock. It's just that simple. You got to watch that. They do sell out. They only run the stuff in whatever share time cycle for production. and whatever they have is it and they don't replace it until they get around to that part of the year where the machinery and the technology is switched back over to that system if they ever provide it again. Okay? So there are, you know, considerations, know your equipment, then cross-reference an ID, what it is that they're offering, and then if you have to, even if you're not sure, even after that, call them. Make contact with somebody send an email. There's all kinds of different ways you can do that nowadays Take advantage of the technology and use it Another thing with regard to head to hand sets and I mentioned this before most of the hand or headsets are not industrial or ruggedized Now what I mean by that well most common place where you really need to quote-unquote ruggedize the equipment is Right there where the system is the cable from the radio itself where it goes into the headset. If you look, many of these have simply a little ... or not even that. And you might have a little reinforcing there or whatever, but a lot of them, they're cheap, they're trying to cut corners. And while that would work for just casual everyday use, although eventually it's still going to do what I'm talking about, progressively with wear and tear, you walking down the road, 100 meters, 500 meters, a half mile, a mile. 10 miles. Well, with every step you move. And when you move, you abraze stuff. Now, you don't notice this right away, but I've talked about this with all the other gear you got. With little bitsy radio equipment that's made in China, number one, they already might try to build everything to minimal standard. Okay? Well, what does that mean? Well, that means that they've stretched that copper penny as far as they could, and you've got a minimal number of hairs inside there to call copper wire that the Chinese have installed. If you wear out that outer protective rubber coating guys, eventually you get to the copper. This is why you have a bit of equipment and you move the microphone just right. No, it's good again. And then you kind of not think about it. If all this not connected and you see how that works. And you've all had this happen with other pieces of equipment too, mostly with tape recorders or with radio sets where you have, you know, little cheaper microphones and they've eventually gotten tired. What it is is that wire is moving around in there, it's been partially severed. And when you move it and push it in a certain way, it reconnects that area, but it doesn't last. You can tape it up, you can do whatever. Well, to preset that, to prevent that from happening by being there in advance on you where it needs to be, go get yourself some of this tool goop. Now don't get the red or the yellow. Try to find the black or the green. There's forest green on. They may make OD green. Now I don't know, but I know that the tool goop, it's a tool grip goop. And it allows you to actually put a grip, you re-grip on screwdrivers or let's say you make a tool and you actually just dip it in it, pull it out, it solidifies and there you go. Well if you take a brush and you do the same thing and you build up around where the wire goes into the body of the headset. And you do it again, and you do it again, and you do it again, be patient. You build up and create a stabilization point. Now you also want to get that right up inside that little hole where the, whatever space is left, where the cable goes through the plastic body. And then build it up a little. Now take a look at some more expensive piece of equipment. You'll know they actually have a stylized grommet. I'll slash a bumper that does the same thing on units that are more expensive. But a lot of the stuff just, they've, they've cheaped out and they've excluded that. I'm telling you from experience, I got a whole box of these headsets to my right. Ed knows this. I'd never throw them away, because eventually I'll get around a half to build. I'll have to rebuild them, because we're going to eventually not have them. But in the meantime, as we wear them out, I save them. Somebody else tosses them out, I save them. Now on the other hand to my left for instance last couple days I've gotten six pair sets of those headphones. Head sets brand new in the bubble pack and I got them for free. Brand new, never issued. Well old stock brand new never issued. Old stock means they've been on the shelf. They were on the shelf somewhere. And so I picked up every last one of them that they had and I got them for a whopping well free. Because I paid a quarter for all the rest of the stuff in the box and it was like oh look what's in there. Yeah, I want that whole rat nest. I took the whole rat nest and got a whole bunch of microphones, which is really cool. And some of you guys got them in the mail. In fact, it's kind of like Henry. He got a lot of cool stuff in the mail. With it includes, you know, step one, a lot of connectors, cables, and all the stuff that you don't necessarily think about or maybe you already need, but I can't go out and buy because it costs money. Well, we accumulate it where we can get it for free or cheap, and we ship it to where it's needed so our people have it. That's how we do the program here. That's how we do it on Broadway. Anyway, I'll tell you what, we're at the bottom of the hour. Do we have a caller? I thought I heard a voice there a little bit ago. Do we have a caller? Anybody jump in there? R6, go and mute yourself. Edward with us there. Edward might be sitting off to the side. He's probably doing 100,000 other things in the process because we're all shared, time sharing everything, guys. We're all able to multitask, man. Multitasking. The Army, every soldier has done that whenever he's gone into combat. A, you're trying not to be shot. Try to avoid that. This means taking advantage of covering concealment. B, well, you try to shoot back. And that means that a different group of skill set processes need to be implemented in order for you to be successful at destroying those who are trying to destroy you. And let's not forget the spiritual factor. Oh Lord, save me from the white man. Oh Lord, save me from the white man. Oh Lord, oh wait a minute. Oh Lord, save me from those bad guys on the other side. Anyway, do we have Ed with us? Want to jump in there? Go ahead. What's Garveson? How you doing? Oh, what's jumping off there, sir? I was listening to the first hour when you guys were talking about the holsters. And they got a question for you. I just bought outside the waistband holsters from a custom guy. up the holster baker down in Florida. And on his website, he had a pretty comprehensive website. And then this frequently asked questions. One of the questions was, you know, how do I clean it? How do I maintain it and oil it? On his horse hide holsters, he'd recommend that you... instructions, whatever he's developed following instructions. Number one, you got to remember there are several different ways to cure. There are several different ways to cure leather and especially horse hide. It depends on what its applications are. So if he tells you not to oil it, follow his instructions. Always do the research on that because, see, for instance, the old holster I have, I actually had to reform it. It was made for probably a Steyr pocket pistol, a big one from background 1910. And I wanted to reform it so it would hold in 1911, and I did. But I followed all the basic instructions from my grandfather, who was a cobbler before he was a machinist and I reformed it and everything exactly what he described because he said he looked at the leather. He could actually look at a piece of leather. You know how it is. You're a tradesman. You know exactly what you're looking at. And he said, hey, you'll probably cure it this way. This is what you got to do. Form it and then take whatever you're going to put in there. And after you've loosened everything up, then start to work it and reform it. In your case it's brand new so it's already set for whatever you're doing. And again, the guy that did it, he knows the process is involved. Whatever he recommends, I obviously follow. And again, you're looking at brand new technology. It's a brand new piece of equipment anyway. So if you treat it well, it won't do what we're talking about. But a lot of people, you know, what happens is they use it until it gets kind of strange. Yeah. To get the quality piece, I mean, the guy does some... I'm sure that the holster is going to outlast me by fire. But you guys got it in the conversation because I also have the Miami Classic that I have. I bought one of those shoulder bricks all probably 20, 25 years ago. All I've done is just oil. It's every bit as good as today as it was 25 years ago. One of the things that I like the Jack Asrigs was talking about is again they went top of the line when they put all of it together, when they put that system together. And it was very popular. I mean you probably remember the middle 80s is when they started to show up actually probably 83, 82, 83. And I think they're even sponsored a little bit in Miami Mice. going to say that. Yeah. Yeah. Because, uh, come on, the white guy was, you know, typically seen when they were in the cabana jackets where they'd scrunch the, uh, our forearms up. Every once in a while you'd see it. They'd always make a point of pulling back the, you know, the, the jacket. So you get that, that shot of the, you know, the gun hanging there. And it was, yeah. Exactly. You know that Brent 10 that everybody... My favorite... Well, I always mention this for a reason. Everybody got so desperate. There's an episode where he dropped a magazine into the water there off the dock. It was one of the scenes where they were supposed to be like along one of the canals in like the country. What was interesting is he actually did lose the magazine there. But, you know, what happened is people were showing up. The guys owned the property. He said there were people showing up with diving suits. to try and find that mag. They were so desperate for mags for the gun. And I could never understand how they could let that happen because, and I'm surprised somebody didn't pick up on them because the Bren-10s were out there. And they were popular when they came out. I mean, they were popular and then they were working in the program and that made it more popular. You know, everybody had to have one. Hey, Mark. Go ahead, color. Yeah, it's BC. I picked up Miami Classic like the caller had mentioned he got and it's the polished and tanned leather which is probably a little more durable. The jackass rig from my research when I was deciding what I was going to get, I think it was made out of suede which with my experience with suede has a tendency to fail a little. It stretches. Well, actually it depends. Mine are all hard leather. Mine are all horse. Really? But where the suede came in is because they wanted grip. They wanted it so that it would, the reason for suede is to get it to grip closer to the body so it doesn't print. Because it'll soft, what it'll do, it'll snug to you. It'll actually hang to you. Years ago, one of my friends made a, the impact before the Jackass Ranger made it, he just made a system like that for a Browning 1922 that I had. and it was really comfortable but you had to keep an eye on it because suede when it gets wet will stretch much more easily than that tan solid hide does. That's the only thing you have to be careful of. Also the suspenders because I had the whole thing, he built the whole thing out of suede. Oh yeah, the suede is much nicer and more comfortable but it definitely has more drawbacks than the hard leather does. But anyway, to say the least, I went with the hard leather and I've been real pleased with mine. Of course, with the part of the country I live in, you only get to wear it seasonally. We don't have open carry down here so wearing jackets and things of that nature, you don't get but a couple months out of the year. Right, otherwise you're cooking. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, the cool thing about the Jackass rig was, again, for up to, well, depending on your size, I got a good sized chest. So, I'm big-boned, okay? He's not fat, he's big-boned! Well, actually, I've always been kind of stocky in that respect, so the cool thing is, my chest, I could comfortably carry probably up to a 6-inch gun and it wasn't going to print out the back. That's a vertical holster, right? Well, they're horizontal. No, they actually start with... Now, they make both. Now, here's the thing. I was going to point out. Once you get to a six-inch gun or an eight-inch, if you're thinking of carrying it, you almost have to carry it parallel with the body. Because the jackass rigs originally were straight in. In other words, all you do is reach your hand in. What I liked about them, I'll shoot right through the coat. Okay, in other words, think about it. When you're carrying a horizontal carry gun, now, the problem you've got to remember, if you're going to fire, revolvers are more conducive to this. and that I can reach the gun, turn my body, just pull the trigger and boom! The mechanical action is going to cycle the cylinder as I'm pulling it back out of the holster. So I can get the first shot into somebody and hopefully make a corpse out of someone. The auto slide would be a little different because the slide is aggressive but it's probably going to hang. Now remember the other thing too is if it's in the holster, where does the case go that you're trying to eject? Ouch. You see? Yeah. Ooh, that's gonna be embarrassing, because then you gotta clear the- you're gonna have to automatically clear the weapon. Now, it doesn't mean I wouldn't do that if it was a panic where, hey, some, you know, you know, manual with a butcher knife is ready to machete my hind end, better a bullet in him once than no shot at all. Yeah, but that- that- that- that ejected shell casing's awful hot, too. Right, and yeah, ooh, my armpit! Ooh, ooh, ooh! Well, if you're with my luck, I'd probably just come right back and go right under the body armor and print right to me anyway. You know what I mean? Well, you're not thinking about that. You're too busy. The adrenaline rush will take care of that problem. But the jackass rigs were originally designed to be perpendicular to the body for horizontal carry-in. Like we said, they were counterbalanced so that when you free carry them, your magazines on the other side helped to balance out the bra, because basically that's kind of like what it was. Then they did have, I've got all the extension keepers and everything else. There are extensions that were using almost like a girdle hook. In fact, it probably was a girdle hook. They just didn't call it that. But remember you had the girdle hooks where they come up and go, same thing, and then it would take and bring an elastic band down so you could snap it to the belt. Right. And use a suspender snap for that. And they made several variations on those. They also made a more sophisticated leather wraparound. And it's just a matter of how much money you want to spend. They make a really neat, they call it the executive, which is the one-sided shoulder rig. Pretty much the same configuration like your 007 wearers when he's carrying his Walther or whatever. And it just goes, you put it on one side, goes around your shoulder and hangs below your arm, but the other side wraps around the top and comes back down in front of you and it's supposed to look like a suspender. Right. Exactly. That's it. Those are very comfortable. The thing about it there again is the idea that you're trying to minimize the silhouette, especially where you might be a more sophisticated company or people have more eyeballs fixed on you. That's where, again, it's always a problem if you're a skinny guy, because there's not a whole lot of places where stuff doesn't poke out. Well, think about being a little girthier is at least you got more places to hide stuff. Yeah, well, if you're skinnier, you got a little bit more flap of the material there too. Right, hang in an airy. That's the difference. Hang in an airy. The other thing about most of these holsters, again, like you said, like our first caller was saying, you've got a situation where they've already told you how to handle it or deal with it. We're not trying to be in conflict with anybody on that because I don't know how they've handled it. Now let me qualify something. I've already told everybody leather is cured with what's available from the animals. And if you have a waste product, literally, then that waste product typically does not go to waste but is utilized. A lot of the Mexican weather is cured with animal urine or human urine. You know, the salt salty water guys. Whether or not it's boiled back up to 98.6 or 95 degrees, I don't know. It depends on how they're using it. But this was an issue that was addressed years ago because Hunter, of course, initially was American made. But one of the things they started doing is using imported leather from Mexico. And there were a lot of complaints about the acidity in the leather and what it was doing to, for instance, the cap and ball guns, which already had a problem with black powder issues. And that became an issue back around the middle of the late 70s. And then into the early 80s, they had another cycle of this where the people brought it up as a subject. Now, the Hunter Holsters are good holsters. I've got probably 50 of them. And I'm never going to get rid of them. I actually keep a bunch of them in reserve because I don't know whose gun is going to show up with what. I don't want to be pulling off corpses. So if I find holsters, I have tendency to stockpile them. Right now, if you look around, you can find, for instance, the macroholsters still for a couple, like $1 to $1.50 if you buy a bunch of them. And you can also find some of the canvas holsters for odds and ends stuff. The more utility and universal in size, the better it is for you to be able to store it so that, hey, Fred shows up and, hey, do you have a holster for that? No, I beat the guy that does it. I took the gun and I got one mag and I had to go because the dogs were after me. Well, you're going to have to be able to re-output him. He doesn't want to get rid of that war trophy because it's kept him alive. You've got to be able to supply the guys. So, another cool thing is knowing how to build them. Now, I would point out something. To be quite honest, we've talked about, you know, jackass rigs. Hunter is actually pretty close to what I'm going to describe next. If you take a look at all of our U.S. military holsters, they were incredibly well-fought out. Now which ones am I talking about? Well the UM-84 holster, that's nylon, and that's a Bianchi design, and that was the first of the Cordura design holsters that actually was adopted by the military and it's still functional today, still coming out of the auctions, and that's the UM-84, they may have given it a new designation, kind of like saying that the M4 is a new rifle, it's not, it's the M16, it's just a Kar-15, okay? Well, they came up with another designation for the UM-84 holster and now blah blah blah, everybody's making it for them under proud or contracted low bid. Before that though, the US Standard, World War I, World War II, Korean War, and even Vietnam War leather holster for the .45, I want you to get hold of one and take a look at it and look at how simple the design is to make. And I would point out that somebody could build that holster out of Cordura just as easily as they did leather. But if you take a look at how minimal, the key part about making a profit Also, war production and also being able to crank them out for the troops so you've got enough for everybody is simplicity. In both the 1911 hip hanger holster, which has either the 1910 metal hanger, that thing looks like a piece of goat hanger, it also has the slip so you can slide it onto a regular belt, a leather belt. In fact, the later ones, remember, also have a little wider keeper and a flap layover so that you can slide them onto even the pistol belt without using the 1910 hanger. That's one model. The other one is the aviator or tanker shoulder holster. Both of these designs were incredibly simple. They're designed to use a minimal amount of stitching. They are literally overlapping flaps of leather. They are cut in one long cut. They flip them over. There are two or three other straps that are built from other pieces of leather and zip zip zip zip and zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip zip map out, print out on a piece of paper or cardboard what the shape and design should be. Then lay that pattern over top of all these scrap bags you've got that are made out of Cordura, which is really stupid price material. And rather than throw it away, you can be building double-wrap Cordura holsters. And they could be home produced. Why not? There's a bunch of easy solutions when the time comes because we're going to need more and we're going to have to do production. This is why I talk about not throwing anything away. Okay, so I blew the snot out of that guy's piece of equipment. He's got a ditty bag and I shot the rear end out of it when the grenade went off. But there's another three yards worth of material, maybe with little blood and guts on it. I'll wash that off. and I'm going to cannibalize the zipper. I might save that. It's actually stitched to something. I'll use it for something else. I take the hangers off. The shoulder strap can go. I've got all the other pieces. Well, now I've got a big piece of Cordura cloth. What can I do with it? Well, if I overlap it once and then take my little cookie cutter pattern and I'm tight as possible, I could get possibly two, three, or four corduro holsters out of that one junk bag that most everybody else would probably throw away. I would point out that I could just as easily make it out of canvas. Now, notice I said double wrap. In other words, what you do, if you go watch some of these videos and movies about them doing, well, the seams, uh, uh, millinery production, or again, clothing production, guys, they have like a, it's almost like a candy machine where the, where the, the roll, the bolt lays over top of the machine before they do the cutting, and they roll back and forth and back and forth, and they'll do 20 layers of cloth. Then they compress the cloth and then the cutter literally cuts 10, 20, or 30 pieces of cloth simultaneously. but they also map it out so they don't have any more waste than is humanly possible and through the process of using their brain, you know, kidneys, they can actually have minimal scrap and even the scrap is mapped into, if you got somebody who knows what he's doing, the scrap pieces are mapped into the other parts that you need so that everything, virtually every stitch that has been manufactured is put to use rather than going to waste and on the cutting room floor. That's an intelligent person having you know that sets up a production facility. And again, cordura, leather, canvas, all of these can be used and we're going to need more equipment. We're going to have to put more stuff online. I'm planting the seed now so you guys will get creative later. And by the way, start buying sewing machines. I do. Actually, I grab every free sewing machine I can get. I think I've probably got 14 or 15 here where I'm sitting right now at this site. I don't know how many I have at the other locations because we actually could, yeah, we could set up a little, somebody says, what are you going to do, set up sweatshops? Well, no, but yes. I think when the time comes, everybody's going to really be, you know, again, we've got to be looking towards the next level of production or solutions. Well, we've got a glut of gear right now. We've got all kinds of equipment. What happens when the Chinese cut off all this stuff they've been importing? And right now, the biggest thing are these really cheapy shoes that actually I've got one pair of the sandals and they're not bad. But if tennis shoes that we make are cheap right now, these things are the next thing in the way of absolute throw away. There's nothing you can do to fix them. They're all molded from one piece. They are comfortable and they float. So you'll know where the person fell in the water and his shoes slipped off as he sank between them beneath the waves after they popped him in the head and they throw his corpse into the yellow, Uron River or the Mississippi. But other than that, that material when it's shot, there's nothing you can do with it. There's nothing you can do with it. There's nothing, you know, it would serve no purpose. You can't rebuild it, you can't fix it, it's all one cast piece of junk. So when those are gone, what do you wear next? see what are you going to wear next and by the way we are going to be making Ho Chi Minh or the equivalent to Ho Chi Minh sandals but instead they'll be kind of like Ho Chi Minh battle boots in that the soles using the old tires oh yeah that's going to be a solution but remember we won't be using that tire until it's totally shot because we're going to be short tires you know everybody assumes there's going to be oh there'll be lots of stuff you're going to have to take that whatever it was originally intended for you use it until it falls apart Then when it finally does fall apart, then you slide it over to the second application. And the waste from that, you slide over to the third application. And the waste from that, until it's virtually debris. Then you might melt it down and try to reprocess it and make it into a second step product again. or a new product altogether depends on the situation. But typically it will be second step where you're trying to mimic something that is part of a further point down the line in production because you've run out. And that's something that's going to happen with everything we're talking about. It's just like talking about making Confederate flags. First thing I thought of is, really? That's cool. They're going to be making Confederate flags, but how are they making them? Are they building them from components? If they are, what mill is selling them the cloth? Or are they counting on the Chinese to still provide it? Because that's mostly what everybody's doing now. And if the Chinese cut everything off, well guys, what we got left in the way of production, you're going to have to start either cannibalizing and completely utilizing. There isn't going to be any garbage. What does go into the trash literally will be trash. Right now the level of waste is so horrific that most of what goes into the trash isn't trash. Just a little thought process there. We talk about leather. Guys, they couldn't even get leather in the Depression. Nobody could afford leather. Nobody could go and buy anything. They didn't have two nickels to rub together. My grandfather, when he did have a job, right after the Depression started up, one of the things he did walking home, because he couldn't spend money on gasoline, He would walk home across town and he would go downtown Ann Arbor here and walk behind the stores looking for better pieces of hard cardboard like the cardstock, not corrugated cardboard, hard cardstock. He would take that home and then he would map out my uncles and aunts shoes and because their souls were already worn through, what he would do is take the piece of cardboard he'd already inserted before take the old one out, put the new one in, he was a cobbler, and then make a new set of inserts so that they weren't walking on their bare feet through the shoes that were worn out because nobody could afford shoes, but nobody could afford the leather to repair the shoes and nobody was throwing any of their shoes away so you could even cannibalize them to repair your shoes. Which is what happens in the prison system in the what happens in the prison system is what happened in the depression? But happens every day if you have a pair of old tennis shoes There are people watching to see what you're gonna do with them if you order a new pair of shoes the first question is well you got to keep your old ones and You can sling them on the market you can throw one on the market and you can get almost you know you get a real good price for them bag of chips a couple extra bars of soap a couple of you know tubes and toothpaste and or if you throw them out because you kind of feel wealthy, there will be five people that grab those tennis shoes even though there's a hole in the toe, they're worn out in the side, and the heels have gone. And they'll be fighting over who can get there first to grab those shoes, and then what happens? There are cobblers. They use dental floss to use for stitching everything back together. They take another pair of wrecked shoes and they cannibalize them to find the leather to repair the toe or to repair the cap and the top where it's worn out because you've walked the shoes to death. They'll fabricate a variation on Gorilla Glue from in-house chemicals from all the from the from the cosmetics end and they will glue and the fabricator make another sole and put it on the shoe to give it more life. That's how the prison system operates. There's sub-economies inside the prison system. And all of it's improvised from stuff out of the stores or from the cosmetics end to make it work. Shoe polish, you can get that. So you can fake everybody out and make it look like you got a decent pair of shoes even though they're probably the seventh, eighth, or tenth owner of those shoes. And if they fall apart, they'll be rebuilt again. Finally, they get to the point where they really can't be rebuilt for all the holes in the leather. Then they'll turn around and cannibalize it for parts for the other shoes that aren't quite as bad. So that's what you're facing coming down the road. I know that's a wave of leather holsters, but we got to build them too. We're going to be continuing to produce and we need to be creative and thinking ahead. We can use canvas, we can use nylon, we can use cordura, we got a lot of junk out there. We're not going to let anything go in the landfill. We can't afford to. Hell, the clips, the snaps, the keepers, and all the stuff. People throw so much of that away. I snag a bunch of it. I cut off the straps. I throw them into a jar, and I fill it up, and then I fill up another one. A peanut jar or a big crackers jar. The clear ones with a big mouth lid on the top. I store the stuff that way because I can look right in the container and see what I've got. There's small clips, middle clips, large clips. There's small, figure-8 D-rings, there's D-rings, small, medium, and large. I've got it separated like that. Now, if we need to repair something, then right now we aren't doing as much of it. Why? We're on the collecting end. Down the road, not so much. Then you're going to be starting to use more. And that's something we all need to be ready to do. Another thing is, again, treating the leather. If you've got special rigs like that, those holsters we're talking about here, I highly recommend if there are any products that they believe you should use, might not buy a little extra. Or again, watch, well, again, watch resale shops, et cetera. That's another solution. Anyway, callers, anybody else jump in there, please? I'm sorry. I think I heard a voice. Cut anybody off. I'm sorry about that. As it is, Couple of things pins and needles but also something that you guys mentioned there remember you know you can get low as Dom was pointing out you can actually get holes in leather but there's also leather holes that are in dendrels and leather that are intentionally there. Horse leather is tough. It will stay tough. chosen for a reason some of the best shoes in the country are made out of horse hide at least the upper side that was four shimes secret that they didn't talk about very much but if you know she was you know that four shined the upper some issues are made out of horse hide the cowhide was used for the base and then they had their vibrant souls with the need a good year well the whole nine yards those were fantastic shoe and they were fantastic boats that were made by the same company With horse-eyed you've got to work it more and really what one thing the horse-eyed will do my grandfather taught me this years ago Horse-eyed will hold together But the stitching won't because horse-eyed won't give it works like a scissor Like I've been talking about with all the other stuff where it wears Well the leather works back and forth and it cuts the stitching So you're gonna want to pick up a leather all a series of love of larger gauge needles or a variety of them and make up a leather repair kit You can do that now. I'm pretty cheap And in fact, you can go to the Hobbycraft stores, you can go to the Hobbycraft supply for leather. There's companies that do nothing but leather. Tandy does leather. You can buy the tools, you can make up a kit, you can have everything ready to go, and you can have the pre-lubricated shoes so that you have it on hand for repairing those shoes and those boots that you like so much. And I'd rather a better pair of shoes. And he goes, Mark, what more about shoes, guys? Better a pair of shoes than bare feet. No matter what. If that's all I've got in the field, if that's all I've got to go with, let me give you a little hint. The Army used to issue a low shoe or a chukka boot. And what do you think the Gators were for? You know, they didn't necessarily issue a full combat boot when they issued the gators. What they did is they went with a, you call it a work boot or a chukka boot. It only has about eight or nine islands down below and stops just about at the ankle. Well, then you wear the military gators and they cover the front, back, and side of your up, your calf, and down. It actually creates a larger, double, you know, two-piece boot. Remember that the gator strap goes underneath the center of the foot. not inside the shoe, outside the shoe. And so there's a whole double-wrap system set there, which helps with everything from ticks, to chiggers, to insects getting to you. It also was cheaper for a military that was short everything. The Chukka boot, along with the Gator, the Gator is made out of canvas, kind of like a military jungle boot before its day. Your jungle boot has a leather lower, has a neoprene sole with a Goodyear welt, and has breather ports, and then has a canvas upper. Well, the gators combined with a chukka boot or a low-quarter shoe create the same result. That's how it works, guys. So again, now gators used to be a diamond dozen, not so much now, but the latest batch of gators that have been coming through have been coming through from the Swiss end and the Swedish end. The Swiss ones are in the older blue matte pattern color. The Swedish ones are OD green and they're typically coming with a complete combat kit. You get the gators, you get your web gear, you get mag pouches, backpack, the whole nine yards and it all comes together as a canvas kit and the gators are canvas. They're useful even with regular leather boots because they protect the laces and they protect the front of the boot from damage. On the other hand, if all you got are low quarters and I had a bunch of those, I wouldn't be giving the guys that have full boots. I'd be giving them to the guys that are stuck with having to use tennis shoes or low quarters for whatever reason or a short boot because it's what we got. I can at least offer them a little more upper, you know, like upper foot and leg protection that way so we can do more for everybody. Okay. Oh, we got a footwear I just had in touch on that. Anyway, anything else? I heard a ding. Do we have a caller? Well, we are at the top, guys, and you know what? So Joe, you're gonna start telling us how to grow things. I'm gonna go back outside and put some more things in the ground. I've got another, what, whopping 25 cents of tomato plant. I got a big buck tomato plant, so I couldn't pass that up for a quarter piece. I'm gonna make places where we go on the ground. I couldn't help it. I'm probably gonna overget some more tomorrow. I'm just that way right now. It's like, man, more food. We need it. God bless the republic. The death of the new world order. We shall prevail ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. We're in a march. We'll be back right here in about an hour, but don't you touch that dial. Joel from the Carolinas, he can give us an update on what's happening down that way. And he'd be up to speed on what you do to deal with wet, with dry, this is happening all over the country, and all in between. So we feed ourselves, take care of our people, build our nation.
