Hello from Wisconsin
I have read on the forum for months. I finally decided to join because a couple weeks ago a large tornado went through our area and I learned a lot first hand that I didn't necessarily expect and figured this would be a good place to come for advice as well as maybe share some of what I learned to maybe help others as well.
Hello from Wisconsin
questions about anonymity & work whistle blowing please
I need to sort of be a "whistler-blower" type with my work, but it involves a very high power supervisor and something they've done. So far i have made an "anonymous" (at least i sincerely hope it is) email account on a public computer, not my own to ask/report situation to upper management/human resources.
Now, if i use that account, is there any way they could trace it back to me? can i still use my personal computer with this outside created email account to correspond with H.R. without it being traced back to me, ie: will my computer leave an IP address on the email? should i use an outside/public computer to correspond instead? Is there any other advice you have that will help me stay very anonymous? i would REALLY hate to lose this job.
Thank you for any help you can give!

Then the genius he is, he tried to play it off: "who knows what covfefe means?" It just makes one wonder how much effort and forethought he is putting in anything else he does. |
I simply find it mildly amusing. I see no correlation between something so miniscule and insignificant as this, and the actual policies he is implementing.
I honestly think he just got interrupted mid-tweet, his finger slipped and he accidentally submitted it. He went on to something else and probably didn't even realize it happened until after he got a chance to check his account again. Then, when it became such a huge deal to people like you, he decided to just run with it in order to show the ridiculousness of the opposition.
He's the president, yes, but he's also allowed to have a little fun from time to time. I personally love the idea of the Twitter presidency.

Preppers And The Can Opener Effect
Sometimes we are so focused on the big things that we forget about the small stuff. I call this, "The Can Opener Effect." We overlook or downplay the small items in our preps.
While clearing some out-of-date canned goods from the stockpile, the gears in the manual can opener stripped and it stopped working. I went to the storeroom and got another can opener, which was exactly like the other one. I asked myself, "Why did I buy this?" Isn't my family worth more than the cheapest can opener I can find? The same relates to all other prepping gear.

THIS is the problem with so-called solutions to "climate change". The world wants to soak the U.S. taxpayer and have the proceeds shipped off to third world hell holes and dictatorships to get ****ed away.
No thanks. Come back with an agreement that penalizes China, India and the third world just as much as the United States AND stop handing the bill to the U.S. taxpayer. Otherwise, these agreements are nothing more than wealth distribution from successful productive people to a bunch of third world failures.

anyway, he sent me this old blade a while back to do something with, Has a split for style guard that's pinned, scales are shrunk and cracked, so replacing them, with I think Carbon-fiber, I have some decent .250 thick,maybe a neon green or red liner, re buff and polish the blade, and bring the profile back, I might use Chicago screws instead of rivets, or some threaded barrel security screws,
About the knife, it certainly is a blast from the past, I have to do some research on it, but this is stamped on the Blade,
WILKERSON

That is stamped on the blade, just below the guard. scales appear to be what was once a nice Burl, probably curly maple, but shrinkage and cracks have doomed em. Rivets ar brass cutlers rivet's. looks like shes worn down on width about 1/16 or lil less than 1/8. lot of light pitting from rust, that will buff out. It is Carbon steel, probably 5160 but i will see if i can narrow that down.

The Church- important or not?
The Bible says in 1Ti 3:15* But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.*
The Church is called the Church of the Living God, the pillar and ground of truth. Why do some of you not want to be involved in a church if the Bible calls it the pillar and ground of truth?
Are all churches corrupted with worldly influences? Duh!!! Of course because we imperfect humans make up the churches. But are all churches not worthy of involvement? Are there any that do what their supposed to ie pillar and ground of truth?

Blue Lives Matter
"The U.S. Supreme Court has overturned a “provocation rule” developed by the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that gave victims of police shootings an additional route to sue for alleged excessive force.
Justice Samuel Anthony Alito Jr. wrote the opinion (PDF) for a unanimous court. Justice Neil M. Gorsuch didn’t participate in the case.
The rule had held that police who use force not deemed excessive may be liable nonetheless because they provoked the victims to respond in a way that makes officers reasonably fear for their safety. Under the rule, the provocation had to be a separate Fourth Amendment violation.
The rule “provides a novel and unsupported path to liability” and is incompatible with the court’s excessive force jurisprudence, Alito wrote. “The rule’s fundamental flaw is that it uses another constitutional violation to manufacture an excessive force claim where one would not otherwise exist.” Instead, Alito said, such cases should be resolved using a proximate cause analysis."

My every Memorial Day
Guilt Trip
We spent the day northeast of Tay Ninh escorting CH 54 Skycranes moving 155mm howitzers from the Tay Ninh base camp to a new fire support base. It was interesting for the first or second lift. The 'Cranes were huge. We could see dust being kicked up hundreds of yards away as they hovered in, picked up their loads, and then climbed gracefully back to altitude. We drilled endless circles around them, hoping that someone would take a potshot at them, but no luck.
The vibration from the aircraft, the constant chatter of the three radios in the earphones of the flight helmets, and the lack of action soon combined to cause semi consciousness.
Staring at the first stage jungle growth, occasionally glancing up at the only mountain in our area of Operations (AO), Nui Ba Dinh, the Black Virgin, I thought of home, food, a shower, food, a cigarette, and then came back to food. I wondered momentarily if I could get away with using a heat tab in a can to heat up some C-rations on the floor of the aircraft, smiled at what the pilots would do when they realized what I was doing, and then dismissed it.
We were on our last load out. Glancing at the fuel gauge in the cockpit, I realized we would have to get fuel again before returning to Lai Khe. The thought of landing and shutting down in the dusty POL point at Tay Ninh was disheartening. But, hey! Dau Tieng was sort of on the way home, and Rod was there.
"Hey, Sir, instead of refueling here to go home, can we stop at Dau Tieng? I've got a buddy there with the Black Widows; maybe I could see him."
Looking at his watch and then his map, Mr. Lewis glanced over shoulder and gave me a thumbs up. Minutes later, the Artillery Commander gave us our release; and we were on our way.
I grew up with Rod in the south suburbs of Chicago. He was two years older than me. We had been in the Boy Scouts and later the Explorers together, and I was the one that talked Rod into going to flight school when I was home on leave from Basic during the summer of 1965.
I had looked Rod up within days of returning or maybe he came looking for me. I was still trying to patch up my fading romance with the girl I had gone steady with during junior and senior years. She needed to drive all the way down state, to Southern Illinois University, to register. Rod had already spent his last two years there and offered to not only drive us, but help her get around.
We got up early, it was three-hundred-mile trip, and left in Rod's old Packard. It was a great big hulking monster that had a million stories created in and around it. We had gone camping in northern Wisconsin, endless Dunes trips to Lake Michigan, and taken advantage of the living room sized rear seat on a dozen occasions.
Kathy dozed as Rod and I talked. He asked endless questions about the Army and basic training. I answered what I could and made up answers that made me look good to the ones I didn't know. Mostly I raved on and on about going to the Aviation school at Fort Rucker. I mentioned the Warrant Officer flight program and how disappointed I was that I couldn't get into it because of my poor vision.
I think Rod knew right then and there what he was going to do. He had already mentioned how bored he was with college. Rod never was a big party man. I think I only saw him drink a beer once. And in our group, he always the most level headed. If you really needed somebody to talk to, Rod was the guy to see. He always had a serious side, no matter what was going on.
We finally arrived, visited all the spots on campus, and I probably realized then that I was going to lose Kathy. I don't remember it happening; but, later, I knew this was the last time we were actually "together." I would see her one more time, at Christmas, but she was already going with someone else. As it happens, he was a good friend that I never learned to talk to, again.
But leave was soon over, and I headed for Mother Rucker and the aviation maintenance courses. I got a letter from my mother in mid October and learned that Rod had enlisted and had already shipped to Fort Polk for basic. I got one letter from him there and another after he was in primary flight training at Fort Wolthers, Texas. I remember being amazed by his handwriting which was a little, tiny scrawl. I don't believe I had ever seen it before, and I dismissed it as just one of those idiosyncrasies that we all have.
It was probably a year later that I learned from my family that he was in country. Not only in country but close! Dau Tieng was between Lai Khe and Tay Ninh, and we often refueled there.
But one thing or another always occurred, and this would be the first chance to drop in on him.
The closer we got, the more excited I became. I had just made Specialist Five and was pretty proud of the stripes. I already was on my first extension and feeling pretty salty. This would be the first time that I felt I could talk to Rod as more or less an equal.
As we approached Dau Tieng, I was struck by the similarity of their flight line and ours. They were living in a rubber tree plantation just like us, too. Their revetments looked pretty empty, but maybe they would be back before we had to leave. And maybe he was laying around his hootch or at the "O" Club on a day off. I was really grinning in anticipation.
"Dau Tieng, Crossbow 37, a light fire team, two miles north for landing."
"Crossbow 37, Dau Tieng, you're cleared for straight in, no traffic reported. Altimeter at two niner niner five, winds from the west at 5. Say intentions."
"Uh, Dau Tieng, 37 request refueling at the Black Widow pad."
"Crossbow 37, Dau Tieng, hover taxi to the Black Widow pad from the active approved. Good day."
"Crossbow 37."
And we were there. We kicked up a little dust hovering in, but it quickly settled. I jumped down and cranked Mr. Lewis' door open so he could get some air. The pilots quickly went through the checklist and shut down. Mr. Lewis got down, removing his helmet and running his hand briskly through his hair, trying to restore the circulation.
"How long you going to need, Bud?"
"Beats me, Sir, Operations is right over there, if it's okay, Johnny can fuel, and I'll just run over and see if he's here."
Mr. Lewis waved his approval; and I went around to the other side and told John Sharp, my gunner, what was going on. He looked just as beat as the rest of us, but he nodded and then waved the approaching fuel truck over to my side of the aircraft.
I squared away the shoulder holster holding my Browning Hi-Power, a pistol that was very much envied. I made sure the red scarf around my neck, that all the Robin Hoods wore, was straight and then tried to casually stroll over to Operations.
Opening the screen door to the Quonset hut, I was struck by the similarity to our own. There was a PFC behind the counter posting entries into flight records, who looked up as I came in.
"Hey, PFC, I'm Spec 5 Harton of the 173rd at Lai Khe. I've got a buddy from home in your unit, and I want to check and see if he's here, WO Rod Davie."
The look in his eyes didn't register with me. I was too busy looking around for something that we didn't have. I didn't even catch the hesitation on his part.
"He's not here, they're all on TDY up north, I don't know when they're coming back."
That's when it registered. As soon as he started talking, I felt the disappointment. I looked into his eyes and saw...pity.
"Oh, great! Maybe next time, thanks, I'll see you."
I stood there for a moment, staring right into his eyes; and, as he stared back, we both shared a horror of what was happening. He knew I realized, but I couldn't ask. I backed towards the door, keeping my eyes on him, hoping for a reprieve; but I bumped the door open, spun around, and headed blindly back to pad.
I was in tears by the time I got to my ship. Johnny had already finished fueling, and I guess he had found out from the fuel truck driver. He was standing there as I approached. I was really fighting to hold back my emotions, to bury them as I had already learned to do, and it probably would have worked except Mr. Lewis came around the tailboom and just held out his arms and pulled me in. I lost it and sobbed openly--giant, wracking sobs that convulsed me.
I was crying for Rod, and I was crying for me. I couldn't show him that I had grown up, and I had accomplished something. And I couldn't tell him how sorry I was that I talked him into being killed.
I learned later, in a letter from home, that it was a midair, at night, with his wingman. I pray God it was fast.

Def. Sec. Mattis: The U.S. has switched to "annihilation tactics" against ISIS
Defense Secretary James Mattis said Sunday the U.S. has switched to "annihilation tactics" against the Islamic State and is focused on completely surrounding the militants, instead of forcing them to move from place to place.
"Our intention is that the foreign fighters do not survive the fight to return home to North Africa, to Europe, to America, to Asia, to Africa. We're not going to allow them to do so. We're going to stop them there and take apart the caliphate," Mattis said.

Boat prep
I am finally realising my dream and have sold my business and boat a boat to travel the world on. I have 3 months left of consulting to the new owners and then I can head out so I have some time to complete my preparations. I purchased a 64ft catamaran with dual electric motors powered by sun and wind with dual diesel engines and dual generators backup. I have already acquired all the parts to rebuild the diesel engines and generators, 2 backup electric motors, dual electrical wiring for all systems, all electronics have backups as well.
All appliances, refrigerator etc, are electric and can run off of the panels and battery banks and/or generators. It will just be me and my dogs and some good books and other entertainment.
What I want to know is if home canned foods can survive being out near the ocean or will the lids rust to quickly to make them useful, will buckets with Mylar and oxygen absorbers hold up? Are there some other ways to store food supplies? I have a lot of storage space.
I do have fishing poles for catching dinner and other survival equipment for an ocean going vessel. Is there anything else that anyone can suggest to have in case the world goes to h*ll in a hand basket while I am out?

Lord Darwath's Super Late 2017 Garden
First, some experiments that started months ago...
Bucket o' mint:
This started out a couple years ago as an attempt (unsuccessful) at keeping ants out of my strawberry patch. Knowing that mint is a very aggressive spreader, and hard to get rid of once established, I set several small mint plants in the ground in plastic pots to contain them. Apparently mint does not like to be contained as all but two of them died. The survivors only managed to do so because they escaped their pots by setting roots out of stems that touched the ground. I gave up on the strawberries that year due to low yields, reduced even further by insect predation, and mowed them after removing (I thought) the escaped mint.
Last year I skipped the in-ground garden and did some small experiments with straw bale gardening and diy earth buckets. I noticed some of the mowed strawberry plants had come back, so figured I'd try them in the straw bale along with potatoes. I also found one small mint shoot that I hadn't gotten the previous year. It obviously had to come out, but why not put it in the bale as well, since it would be contained there? Well, that mint was the only thing that actually did well in the bale. So when last year's growing season was done I transplanted that mint into a grow bucket vacated by a mini pepper plant (the mini sweet peppers did very well in buckets, especially after the potatoes played out early so I sank the buckets in the bale to keep the soil cooler.) When I transplanted it, the mint was much larger than it had started, but fading. The straw bale just didn't provide enough nutrients to support the mint's ever-spreading growth habit. As you can see, it took very well to the bucket and has been in there since late last fall. It spent the winter indoors in a window ledge. I do think though that it is getting root bound in the 5 gallon bucket as it is very thirsty and takes very little time to display distress when the bottom reservoir empties.
Ok, I've already gotten long winded, so I'll split this up into multiple posts

CONUNDRUM: America is.............
Conundrum
"A gun is like a parachute. If you need one, and don't have one. You'll probably never need one again." The definition of the word Conundrum is: something that is puzzling or confusing.
Here are six Conundrums of Socialism in the United States of America.
• America is capitalist and greedy - yet half of the population is subsidized.
• Half of the population is subsidized - yet they think they are victims.
• They think they are victims - yet their representatives run the government.
• Their representatives run the government - yet the poor keep getting poorer.
• The poor keep getting poorer - yet they have things that people in other Countries only dream about.
• They have things that people in other countries only dream about, yet they want America to be more like those other countries.
Think about it! And that, my friends, pretty much sums up the USA in the 21st Century.
Makes you wonder who is doing the math.
By the way…
• We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics. But we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works. And here's another one worth considering.
• Seems we constantly hear about how Social Security is going to run out of money. But we never hear about welfare or food stamps running out of money? What's interesting is the first group "worked for" their money, but the second didn't.
Think about it! Am I the only one missing something?

Homemade Alka Seltzer
I don't need Alka Seltzer very often, but when I do, I need it desperately. It's like a miracle for me when I have tummy troubles. I'd cry to bugout without it.
I make homemade Alka Seltzer with packets of Realime or Realemon, baking soda, an aspirin, and a bit of any sweetener. The aspirin and citric acid packets are stored in glass vac'ed canning jars, and I keep the majoriy of my Realemon/Realime under 02 pack. The baking soda should be correctly stored, too. You need the aspirin for heart attack symptoms, anyway.
You can also use the baking soda with a lemon-lime or orange soft drink. You can use sour salt if you have it. Any citrus juice will work as the acid, too.
While you're compiling inngredients, Baking Soda and Cream of Tartar, stored separately, last exponential X longer than baking powder.
Do you have some home brew mixes?

The 1977 Farm
Each one is hand picked and inspected for my own use.
We have 20 cherry trees, half white and the other half red.
I will preserve some, pit and dry, and jam a few bottles to!
I also have many other fruits, veggies and 200 walnut trees growing.
Persimmon, lime, apricot, Bartlett pear, plum, prune, chestnut, guava, pomegranate, 5 types of grapes, mandarins, tangelos,watermelons, yellow melons, cantaloupe, honeydew, pumpkin orange, lemon, pommelo, quince, and 2 types of lime.
Every year we grow many varieties of veggies/melons and vines on 4 acres set aside just for that. Summer squashes,red beans, cranberry beans, napa cabbage, lettuce, radish, beets, carrots, and I'm sure I forgot a few. This is a family run farm and 2 locations totaling 22 acres.
Photo of the middle, I may add a few bee hives come next year.
Feel free to ask questions which I may or may not answer depending on what it is and if I am knowledgeable on the subject. I'm no pro but have experience helping the family farm in 2 countries and enjoy growing my own food. I've had a few small failures and many big successes. Opinions are welcome to.

Berkey Water Filter Failed Again!!!!
I usually like to do the red dye test every 3-4 months to see if it is working. After a year of using those filter , they finally failed the red dye test. They only filtered less than 500 gallons!!! No where near the 6,000 gallons they claim.
I am very careful when installing these filters. I am super gentle so they wont break or crack.
I contacted berkey in 2016 and they sent me a new one. Those new filters had a manufacture date of 2014.
Fast forward today.
The new filters they sent me also failed again!!!! Only ONE of the two filters is filtering the red dye!!!! I re-primed that filter multiple times, and I still get that light pink color. Why does this keep happening?? This makes no sense. I am using city water and my water is soft.
Anyone else having the same problem???

Wall Mount Pantry UnitI finally built a wall mounted unit for storing canned food. It works great. It allows me to see what I have at a glance. It also makes it easy to rotate cans by putting new cans in at the top and taking cans out at the bottom when I use them. It can hold 6 each of 12 different kinds of food for a total of 72 of the medium size cans 3” x 4 ½”.

Merkel - We Europeans must take our destiny into our own hands
In my opinion, we should keep the U.K. close and help them get back on track. Some of the nations of Eastern Europe could become reliable allies. It would be worth exploring closer relations with Poland, Hungary, and the Czech and Slovak Republics. They don't have terrorist atrocities in those nations, because unlike the snowflake liberals in Western Europe they don't take in Muslim refugees!
France, Germany, Sweden, and the rest of the libturd socialist states are just a milstone around our neck. It's time to make new friends and new alliances.
Did I mention it would behoove us to explore an alliance with the Russian Federation?

Small holding on abandoned land.
The land is slightly rolling and leads down on one side to a river that has an old narrow vehicle access. They are approximately covered 1/3 native bush and 2/3 overgrown gorse/scrub. A creek runs through a narrow gully that seems to be wet most of the year. There is a north facing hill face that gets sun during the day (we are in the southern hemisphere). Most of the native bush is on the shady faces.
Obviously it all rides on being able to purchase the land, but my initial thoughts were:
Cut an access track up to the sunny north facing face, to situate a small dwelling about 3/4 the way up the property.
Dwelling would have wood/coal range cooker, solar power on roof, rain water collection and composting toilet.
In cutting the access in I'd have to cross the creek, so at the same time create a small dam to give a good water storage area. This could be done without contravening any local codes.
I would leave the native bush as is and clear the scrub. So assuming roughly 1/3 is bush and say another 1/3 is tracks, dwelling, dead ground, etc. That leaves 1/3 for farming. So say 14 acres for food production; couple of cattle for beef, a few sheep, free range chickens and large vegetable patch.
I'm thinking 14 acres would allow me a good area to work with, but would appreciate any thoughts on this.
I know it is jumping the gun a little, but as we are approaching the shortest day in a couple of weeks, I intend camping out there for a couple of days to look for the best site for the dwelling regarding all day sunlight etc.
I will be in town in a week, so will call into the council to make some inquiries with them about the blocks. I have obtained abandoned land before with the councils help, but that a was much, much smaller area and was adjacent to my property, so it was of a more of a tidying up a property boundary line sort of thing.
Money wise, I have about half the rateable value on hand and could save the other half in a year or sell some stuff to get it sooner, but I doubt it is going to be a quick process, if it turns out to be viable.
I would appreciate any thoughts or comments, especially regarding the size of area available.

Line is loose
I'm pretty sure that it isn't a memory issue. Time after time I've bought new line and had the same issue. I've even tried braided line.
I'm using a spinning reel. Thanks in advance!

Howdy from South Alabama
My name is Gary, I live on the Eastern Shore of South Alabama. Married with 5 kids, 2 of them are dogs...
I'm pretty new to survivalism and prepping but given the current world climate I figure its time to start working on my own life insurance plan.
I look forward to learning everything I can to ensure that me and mine are as prepared as we can be for whatever comes our way.

Comey and Clinton email investigation corruption.
As if on cue, CNN/WashPo are doing damage control and saying that was a fake email planted by the Russians. And the reason Comey did not go to DOJ with Clinton Email case was because he did not want to tip off the Russians that he was in on their fake planted email so he took it all upon himself to play the prosecuter 
Gowdy will soon realize Comey is not a good agent and is fighting on behalf of Clintons because he himself is mired in their corruption. No wonder Hillary has come back giving interviews and rallying for Trump impeachment. Things are heating up in D.C. Its a deathmatch at this point - Can Comey/Clinton get Trump before Trump gets them? I'm betting on The Donald

Cleanin up outside the new shop FOUND Knife!
1. Camillus, screw-on pommel (1958-1959). The knife was blued by the original owner, who had a custom, expensive sheath made for it. He never used it again afterwards.
Early knives had a 6" blade but the pilots complained they were to long, needed more room for a swing to puncture the canopy, so machinists would grind them down to 5" - 5.25" then the Air force started having the blades manufactured to that length. On later knives the screw on pommel was replaced with a riveted on pommel.
Camillus was a US based knife Co. that went out of business about seven years ago because of foreign competition, they refused to let their knives be manufactured over seas. I have at least four of their knives, top notch knives.
Although I have one with the sheath and sharpening stone the above picture isn't mine, I borrowed it.

I need a new smart phone
I'd rather spend the money on a new one.
....I don't see the point any longer of buying a $500+ phone when I know (for the little I use them for) one a fraction of the price will do.
-since I'm no longer using it for work.
I NEED a good antinna, and battery life. (Otter box or similar)
Camera, a few apps like Droid Wallet and my kindle.
(Android> Apple)
GPS etc. I know I don't use a fraction of its capability, but I want what I use to work well.
Teathering too.
I'd perfer my Kindle chargers to work on the phone like they do the S5 (not as fast, but will work)
I'm not a "tech guy"
....recomendations?

Because we can.??. Problem seems to be that the concept to "PEACEABLY assemble" has been traded in for an excuse to show one's ass. No longer are even passionate discussions allowed. When we don't like what the other side has to say we break out weapons and start a brawl. The left has taken this attitude to a whole new level as of late but to be fair, it's happened on all sides in history.
There should be discussions. If it takes a rally, ok. But for Christ's sake... Discuss! Don't just gather one's gang and set out for a rumble!
I'm not sure the left is able to any longer though, they seem to have regressed to living up to all the things they claim to fight. Hate, violence, discrimination, and even the racist process of history altering. When they will start burning books and lynching people has yet to be seen.
