Safe Water Theory (v2)
It's time to update it and start fresh. You can peruse the old one if you like:
https://www.survivalistboards.com/sh...d.php?t=392651
Let me start off with a few key points:
* This is a theory discussion thread, not a gear discussion thread.
* This thread does not cover distillation.
* Your urge to talk about those first two points doesn't negate the fact this isn't the place for them. Find somewhere else.
* I'm here to help but if I think you are feeling that I'm your obligated research monkey then I'll disabuse you of that notion.
The point of this thread is to bring your knowledge base beyond gear. I see lots of folks here talking about what filters, gadgets, and chemicals to use for make drinking water after SHTF or just for wilderness use. The problem I see most often is their focus on the parts instead of the process. When someone suggests some other part or idea many readers get stuck back at zero again unsure how this would affect their planning. But once you understand the process then all your options begin to start making more sense.
Safe Water = Sediment Removal > Biological Remediation > Toxin Removal.
If you understand that process then all you have to do when you see new chemicals, filters, or gadgets is figure how each works and where they fit into the process above. In theory the last two can be switched around but for practical reasons it is better to do toxin removal last as those components tend to have the shortest volume lifespan so the cleaner the water is the longer the toxin filter will last.
The equation explained:
Safe Water is not perfect water. Only labs make perfect water. Instead it means where the risk factors are so low that a moderately healthy or mildly sick person can feel safe drinking it. It need not be crystal clear. It's not sterile, pyrogen free, injectable, triple distilled, or any other term you might see out there. It just means almost everyone can drink it without worry.
Sediment Removal is taking the bulk of the solids out. Solids interfere with the next two processes, making them harder and shortening the lifespan of filter media.
Biological Remediation is removing dangerous lifeforms from the water. There are two levels of this. First is removal of bacteria, cysts, protozoa, algae, and other microflora. The second level is removing viruses. The removal of viruses is only for regions where virus present a realistic threat. Most temperate areas, especially in 1st World nations, have negligible viral water threats. Hot tropical and cold tundra areas do pose special viral risks.
Toxin Removal is dealing with non-living threats in the water. Mycotoxins from the metabolism of living creatures, soluted metals, arsenic, hydrocarbon and other solvent waste, cleaning agents, fungicides, herbicides, pesticides, fertilizers, acid rain, mining runoff, industrial waste, and post consumer runoff all exist out there. The more industrialized and urban an area is the more likely the risk is. Rural areas are not much safer as farms offer their owns risks. Almost every place is downstream from somewhere and anything upstream or up elevation flows down. Acid rain will fall even at very high and population free areas. Even where no man exits there is risk simply from the earth. Naturally occurring metal deposits and arsenic are found all over. Remember that every man created toxin was once something man grew or pulled out of the earth. Your risk for toxins is lowest in wilderness settings of 3rd World tropical nations.
Now let's cover what you can use for each of the three steps.
Sediment Removal
Sand: Preferably clean boiled sand. Play sand is a good choice. Used inline.
Flocculation: Using an agent to clump or flake the sediment so it floats or sinks to the bottom. Used in batch method.
Spun filters: Artificial fibers spun into a cone or cylinder. Used inline.
Filter cloths: Expedient method using cloth or fabric mesh like pantyhose. Used inline.
Paper cloths: Expedient method using strong paper, like a coffee filter. Used inline.
Tight weave wire or nylon mesh: A stainless steel or nylon weave of around 100 mesh fibers per inch grade. Used inline.
Biological Decon
Boiling: Rolling boil for 1+ minutes at sea level.
Ozone: Typically found at pool stores as a generator.
Potassium permanganate: 2.5mg/liter, but will not kill viruses at safe drinking amounts.
Miox: Currently off market but some still available on Amazon and eBay.
Silver: Usually as part of an existing filter. No official guidelines for colloidal mixtures.
Xylem: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24587134
Alcohol: ethanol only. Difficult as you need about 20% ethanol (40proof), but 3 parts water to 1 part red wine will work due the phenols.
SODIS: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_water_disinfection
Iodine: Potable Aqua, Lugol's solution, tincture of iodine 2%.
UV: Steripen, Puritest, UV mercury vapor bulb, Watts, many other brands.
Chlorine: sodium hypochlorite (household bleach), calcium hypochlorite (pool shock), chloride dioxide (tablets).
Sub-micron filtration: .1 micron for everything excepts viruses, .02 micron for viruses.
Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium...roisocyanurate
Toxin Decon
Membranes: Inline reverse osmosis cartridges.
Activated carbon (charcoal): Good for most organic and some inorganic toxins. Not good for arsenic, fluoride, or heavy metals.
Bone char: Better than activated carbon on arsenic, fluoride, and heavy metals. Good for other toxins, but not as good as AC.
Activated alumina: Good for arsenic and fluoride. Not so very healthy itself though.
Zeolite: Good for metals and ammonia compounds; Mediocre for other organic toxins.
Ozone: Good for mycotoxins created by algae and fungi.

Banana peels: Dehydrated and power homemade media; https://www.acs.org/content/acs/en/p...-purifier.html ; http://www.mindthesciencegap.org/201...eeling-option/ ; http://www.survivalcampingstore.com/...-water-filters
Nopal (prickly pear) cactus: https://www.nsf.gov/news/special_rep...ion/cactus.jsp ; https://phys.org/news/2010-04-common-cactus.html
Please note that BBQ or fire charcoal are not good for detox. AC and GAC work on the principle of adsorption, which requires extreme surface area. A 55 gallon drum of fresh fire charcoal is less effective than a small handful of GAC. Carbon for toxin filtration isn't a realistic DIY option. By the time you chopped down several cords of wood you will have sweated more water than you would get back from the fire charcoal filtered water. All the trees on your lot won't help without the industrial processes needed to do this right.

Public pensions systems still "in trouble"
http://www.msn.com/en-us/money/marke...7Ia?ocid=ientp
Some highlights from the article:
There is a simple reason why pensions are in such rough shape: The amount owed to retirees is accelerating faster than assets on hand to pay those future obligations. Liabilities of major U.S. public pensions are up 64% since 2007 while assets are up 30%, according to the most recent data from Boston College’s Center for Retirement Research.
Here is how it got that way:
Public pension funds have to pay benefits—their liabilities. They hold assets, which grow or shrink through a combination of investment gains or losses and contributions from employers and workers. Those assets generally rose faster than liabilities for five decades starting in the 1950s because government was expanding and the number of retirees was smaller.
In the 1980s and 1990s, double-digit stock and bond returns convinced governments they could afford widespread benefit increases.
There have been efforts to address the problem. But as the article says, it hasn't been easy:
Many states and cities reduced benefits for new employees after 2008. But deeper cuts often met resistance from judges, unions and angry constituents—even in some of the most indebted states.
The Illinois Supreme Court in 2015 threw out cuts by the legislature that were expected to save tens of billions of dollars. Kentucky’s legislature last year declined to approve the governor’s proposed cuts to cost-of-living increases for retired teachers after protests brought thousands to the state capitol and forced cancellations of classes in several school districts.
My conclusion after reading all this? For years the entire public/government pension system has been far too generous.
Like allowing people to retire at 55. Or even earlier.
Thoughts? Opinions?

That's why I survival garden for the most part like I'm in a grid down existence.
https://growingfromscratch.com/2019/...la-nightmares/
"Can you imagine living in Venezuela right now?
More importantly….. have you ever imagined living like that? Have you ever seriously stopped to think about the ramifications of an economic collapse? Your money is virtually worthless. Wide ranging power blackouts, almost no food, eating pets and whatever stray animals can be obtained. They are essentially in a grid down existence, the very type of which I write about here. Recent online articles featured dramatic headlines such as “Venezuelans Return To Middle ages”. I’ve always viewed the scenario of a power grid catastrophe as returning us to the 1800’s rather than a time of peasantry. Give or take a few hundred years, the dire meaning is the same.
For their city dwellers, it must be a living hell. But I wonder how the rural folk are doing? Not the bigger farm operations. They are surely suffering. But what of the common ......"

large loop on lever actions
Looking at getting another one,any brand,in 30-30 or 38/357,just because.
I like the looks of the large loop,I assume it was for functioning in winter wearing large gloves,and has a actual use besides looks.I'm in swfl,so that is not an issue.I will do my best to avoid the Chuck Conner flip.
Just curious if there is any downside to a large loop?

Fat and milk solids make up most of cheese. Freeze driers don't deal with fat, so to make FD cheese it must be made as a low fat cheese like product. Otherwise it would still be rubbery and fatty that will go rancid in a dry bag or can.
There is no magic to be had here. Reconstituted FD cheese is still that high water content FD sort-of cheese. Taking the fat out leaves you with just cheese solids powder that is good for certain dishes but can't be made back into what you think of as nice melty normal cheese.
I can recommend a great line of cheese powders to buy and they will make good cheesy tasting dishes, but you can't get that melty cheese-like texture you want on a pizza. It will be more like skipping the melted cheese on top and adding Parmesan dry like powder. Or you can just settle for the weird watery style cheese of those FD shreds. Your choice.

Remington Model 700 in 6.5 Creedmoor
I've been given the opportunity to field test (and write a review) a new Remington 700 in the 6.5 Creedmoor caliber. The 'person(s)' wanted some field tests in Wyoming (assuming it would be a prairie dog shoot) at long distances. Don't have any "prairie carp" at my place, so it'll be paper and steel gongs. I have up to 1,000 meters available at the BOL, and unlimited ranges off property nearby. Let it be known I am NOT a sniper nor am I trained/experienced at shots over 300 yards at my personal range at home.
1) Is the 700 PCR all that and a bag of chips?
2) Which model of 700 should I request for my Test rifle?
a. Otherwise, which model do you folks think is the most accurate.
3) 1:8 twist is what they offer so which velocity and weight should I stock up on for the test ammo? Name brands would be appreciated so I can order ahead of time.
I am thinking of ordering a Thompson Encore barrel in this caliber just cuz I have a frame and a scope/mounts ready to go, so why not?
Thanks for any feed back.

Interesting note, one of the local farm supply stores carries a different name brand jug with a very similar spout. They were missing their dust caps as well. I am more inclined to believe it’s a supplier issue than theft.
Anyway, be sure to inspect your water cans prior taking them out of the store.

Russian AsH -12 st130
I mean a 12.7x55 rifle round. Isn't most modern combat close quarters?
Why a large caliber rifle round? And what about ammunition weight? Why weigh a soldier down?
Also no one really seems to be talking much about the ash. It's pretty cool. But I'm not sure you can replace the AK. It's got a serious track record.
Thoughts?

How College Athletics Should Work:
Each student athlete must meet all the normal admission standards for the college or university.
Once admitted; the student athlete could compete his first year.
To compete in his/her second year of eligibility the student must meet the school’s requirement for a sophomore completing all freshman requirements.
To compete in a third year the student must not only be a junior academically but be two years or less academically short of completing a major.
To compete in a fourth year the student must be 30 hours or less short of graduation.
Any student can use the fifth year to sit out in order to meet academic requirements.
All student athletes should be paid minimum wage for game and practice time (to be limited by NCAA rules) but not conditioning.

What to do with coyote pups?
I found they were living under the shed. I believe there are only the two of them, no adult.
They are very small. Maybe a foot long? They can't be very old. I've not noticed an adult. And the adult would be much too big to fit under the shed.
I caught one of them overnight in a trap.
Here's a picture from yesterday.
A few days ago I did find right in the shed a dead coon. It was slightly partially eaten. At the time, I thought it had just crawled in there and died, and the skunk that I have seen coming on the porch must have picked at it. But now I wonder if the mother had put it there?
But so far I have not seen any adult.

President Trump takes action today on Iran
I predict any insurgency from Venezuelan terrorists using Saudi-purchased US munitions and weaponry will be in its final throes before you can hang up a mission accomplished banner. My belief is we will, in fact, be greeted as liberators by the Iranian people as we make all of Iran safe for Israeli occupation and the construction of Israeli/US controlled oil pipelines.
Rest assured, the war will be entirely financed by Chinese loans and tax cuts on jobs Americans won't do, like completing the danged border fence, for example.

Iran military deemed a terrorist organization
This is confusing because terrorists are suppose to be differentiated from government by being subnational organizations, not state organs.
The move to classifying government as terrorists is totally changing the paradigm of what terrorism is and .. since the US routinely assassinates terrorists with drones strikes this may cause the US to take actions against Iran without allowances by congress to wage war against iran… big shift
Meanwhile Iran designated US central command as terrorists in reply Iran's Supreme National Security Council, according to the Fars news agency, said it was designating the United States Central Command, also known as CENTCOM, and all its forces as terrorist, and labelled the U.S. a "supporter of terrorism."
This is a big shift.
Terrorists generally are not allowed to be treated under the Rules of War by the US as they are deemed unlawful combatants...
Whether this designation will see the US assassinate Iranian targets globally by drone strikes as have been done against other terrorists is something to look for.
Iran will probably see it as an act of war rather than anti terror operation.

New experence with iron sights.
I think my disdain for many of todays rifles, and especially the bolt guns, is because of this too. Its not just the sights that are different on them. The way many, if not most of the rifles are built these days, they are geared to them having a scope on them, and the whole gun is built accordingly. And usually, these days, when you do see irons on them, they are made to work on a gun built for a scope.
For some guns, I can see the usefulness of the scopes, and Ive had a number of decent rifle/scope combos, but of all the guns I currently have, I have two rifles that have a scope on them. Then rest are irons and/or red dots, and most of the irons, are of the aperture type.

Selling vintage MS63/MS64 for spot price?
Denver has two large bullion sellers/buyers. They are next door to one another. For years they have been paying spot price for highly graded vintage coins. They say that after the 2008 financial crisis the rarity and quality of old gold no longer matters much. Indeed - that old gold is not as desirable because it is an alloy (for durability - they are 90% pure gold) and therefore doesn't offer the full ounce that newer American Eagles offer. They feel that buyers are now prepping and not interested in rarity - they simply want the bullion. That is what the crisis did to investor confidence in the system - my take on it.
I purchased the coins from my parents safety deposit box during the estate liquidation. Paid about $1650/ounce at the time. My father paid a huge premium for much of the vintage MS63/MS64/MS65 gold coins. MS64 and MS65 are very high quality.
I am not happy with selling a $2250 coin (published value) for spot price - currently about $1300. Never had a single call from Craigslist ads. I don't think Ebay would work too well unless one was a rated coin dealer. Confidence being the issue.
Is there a way to recover closer to published values when selling graded vintage gold? I can easily sell for spot value of course.

It's likely that you'll be disappointed. But some of the really small window units don't use a lot of power, but they only work well in a small, tight room. If you only use it when the sun is blasting and you have extra power, it might be worth it.
You need to know how many amps the AC unit uses, how many amp hours your batteries can store, and how many watts your solar panels can charge and for how long. They will be different voltages, lessening the value of "amps" which is why we convert everything to watts and watt-hours. But if you know those 3 things, we can figure out if you have any extra power for an AC unit.
So, how many watts in solar panels do you have, how many amp hours in battery storage do you have and at what voltage, and how many amps does the potential AC unit use while its running, and how long will you run it?
Using 40% of your battery capacity per day is about normal. You don't want to use more than 50% and many people prefer not to go below 25% usage, leaving 75% stored.

Isn't the 2nd Amendment a Right?
People have Creator endowed rights to life and to defend that life as they see fit. (Hurrah for the republican form!)
Unfortunately, the bulk of the people consented to be citizens in the democracy, which comes with mandatory civic duties that abrogate endowed rights. What remains are privileges misrepresented as civil and political 'rights'.
So as long as the gun bans / restrictions are limited to "persons liable" and not the "people", no harm, no foul.

The wages of sin
Quote:
| Rom 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; |
Quote:
| Rom 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: |
Quote:
| Rom 6:23* For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.* |
Jesus is God. Had no sin nature because He had no earthly father. The sin nature is passed down thru the father to sons and daughters (like baldness is passed thru the mother).
Scripture tells us that Eve was deceived by Satan and Adam was not. Adam knew exactly what he was doing when he ate the forbidden fruit - disobeying God.
Quote:
| 1Ti 2:14* And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.* |
In Genesis 3 God punishes both Adam and Eve but in vs 15 promises the Savior thru the woman only (born of a virgin as in Isaiah 7:14).
Quote:
| Gen 3:15* And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. |

Your "Super" High Energy Trail Snack Suggestion
This is my favorite deviation from the traditional meat/melted fat/berries pemmican, yet it still contains meat, fat (in the form of peanut butter and other nuts), and fruit (in the form of raisins).
Pemmican with Honey and Peanut Butter
Some people prefer peanut butter to fat; some like a blend of honey and peanut butter. Here is a recipe that helps provide calories without meat fat (I find this lasts longer without going rancid as quickly as fat from meat tends to do)
1/2 pound of jerky, pulverized to a powder, or nearly to a powder
1/2 pound of raisins
1/2 pound of nuts (peanuts, pecans. etc)
2 tablespoons honey
4 tablespoons peanut butter
Warm the honey and mix with the peanut butter together until well blended.
Add all ingredients together. Store in a plastic bag in a cool, dry place.
To eat pemmican Native American style, pop a little bit into your mouth and chew it just about forever, sort of like chewing gum. That way you entertain your mouth and extract every bit of goodness from the dehydrated meat, berries/fruit, and nuts. It is surprisingly filling when eaten this way. Even though the food is low-volume, it packs power because it is highly concentrated and loaded with protein.
There are different schools of thought regarding the shelf life of pemmican. Some say it will last for only a month or two; others say it will last for years. It depends upon the temperature and humidity of the environment, the quality of ingredients, and how it is stored. At any rate, the fat content will also determine shelf life. After the fat goes rancid from age, it will taste bad and should be thrown out. The cooler the storage temperatures are, the longer the fat will stay fresh.
To help extend shelf life, I like to store pemmican in the freezer. If the electricity should ever go out long enough to affect the contents of the freezer, I will take the pemmican out of the freezer, and after making sure that it is perfectly dry, store it in a glass jar or plastic bag in a dark cool place. (Watch for mold, in case it was not perfectly dry.)
For even longer-term storage, I sometimes use raisins in place of fat in the traditional recipe.
My favorite fat-free way to make pemmican:
In a blender, whizz together equal parts of pulverized-almost-to-a-powder jerky, ground dried berries, and chopped nuts of your choice. Add enough raisins so that the smashed up raisins hold everything together nicely. Then you can form marble-sized balls or whatever. No blender handy? Chop with a knife, then pound the foodstuff to a pulp with a rock.
This stores a lot longer than the traditional version with fat. But then, during really high caloric demanding situations such as hiking, working, or coping with a disaster, you'd be wishing for that little extra fat, because it supplies a majority of the calories in pemmican.

Asylum Seekers
Asylum SeekersAs most know..we are being flooded with "Asylum Seekers"....and everyone else from south of the border. The news reports that the CBP is struggling to provide the support/housing/needs of the thousands. What escapes me....is why are the immigrants...legal or not...are not being transported directly to the "Sanctuary Cities"? Im am sure Pelosi's neighborhood in SF would love 50,000 new homeless/street people....and are more than willing to provide housing and a good meal. I know that every democrat that wants open borders, must be willing to have a few thousand of these people come live in their constituents neighborhoods.
Chicago would love to have a few thousand MS13 members come in and settle the down the crime in south Chicago. Sanctuary Cities must be wondering why they are being left out of the action....to provide for the needs of these people...

Spring - a time for hope, a time for loss
March 30th, 2019 my oldest son and I planted several tomato plants, and some melon spouts that were bought from a local big box store. We had not had temps anywhere near frost level in several weeks, so I thought everything was going to be fine.
April 1st and 2nd, not only did we have a heavy frost, but also a light freeze as temps reached 30 degrees. All of the tomatoes and melons planted on the 30th were dead. Heavy frost damaged the potatoes, peppers, egg plant, fig tree leaves... etc, but the should come back.
On top of that we have lost around three chickens, and two of the new chicks. One of the new chicks is missing, and one was found dead.
Predators giving birth in the spring will take livestock and bring it to their litter.
Then there is the issue of migrating birds, which brings hawks.
Whether it is frost or a light freeze, or predators, it seems like spring is a time of hope and a time for loss.
After the last frost has passed, hopefully the will recover and thrive.
The recent chicken losses leaves me with around 9 mature hens, and 12 pullets. Chances are I will buy another dozen chicks before summer hits. I like to keep the flock in the 30 - 40 range.

Why do certain people on SB Hate Trump so much?

He successfully ran over 600 businesses. Sure, there were a few failures but the numbers tell the story. Most people cannot even run 1 business successfully. Trouble is, Trump haters don't go by numbers but their feelings.

Going back to the emotional side; the guy could have retired in luxury anywhere in the world.

He works 18 hours each day for $1 per year. He did all this for one simple reason. He loves America. He is a patriot of the 1st order, the likes of which we have not seen since Ronaldo Maximus.
His on the job performance in just 2 years already ranks him as the best or 2nd best POTUS in the last half century. I credit Reagan with saving my life by defeating the evil empire. I credit Trump with saving Western Civilization and my grandchildren's lives by:
- defeating the she-devil
- defeating globalists by steering clear of war with Russia, North Korea, China and Syria
- defeating & deporting MS-13
- defeating ISIS,
- Withdrawing from the disastrous Paris Accord
- Revoking the Iran Deal
- Clamping down on border invasions
- terrorist ban,
- ending TARP,
- ending NAFTA,
- Making NATO relevant again and members pay fair share
- record jobs,
- record stock performance,
- record employment of women, Hispanics and Blacks,
- Gutting Obamacare
- Making America energy independent (& worlds largest exporter of natural gas)
- naming Jerusalem as the capital of Israel,
- passing one of the biggest tax cuts in history
- cutting more regulations in just 2 years than any POTUS ever
- Appointing more judges than any POTUS since Washington
- Passed more legislation than any POTUS in 1st year, besides Truman to end WWII
- Exposed Fake News
- Exposed the Deep State coup attempt

Lithgow Arms halts upcoming release of F90 Atrax rifle to US commercial market
I'm just beside myself with grief. Australian anti-firearm industry now does not wish to put one of their firearms on our market? What ever will I do.... I suppose I will just have to resign myself to a platform like a M4, AK or even gasp..... The M14 platform.

Been here a while, I'm in SW Ohio. I see alot of that here too. There are several hard left and hard right political trolls but they mostly bother each other while the rest of us talk SHTF stuff. I'm here to learn too, but spouting my own Cra Cra is fun too! Welcome aboard, probably need a seat belt for the wild ride.....

How hard is it to trade on stock market?
Head that advice!
You can get an account with places like TD Ameritrade or E-trade just to name a few. I would suggest TD Ameritrade because they have local offices. They will teach you and they also have some classes....take the opportunity to learn
Their are others places like Merrill Lynch that will set you up with a broker
You'll get access to their website which will have many different ways to invest whether they be stocks, bonds, ETF's and such.
It will cost you to not only buy the stock but to sell too. It isn't expensive
Being a day trader sounds easy.....it's not.
Do your research on each account, there is a learning curve with this, then invest. You can spend a lot of time researching and watching, this will likely be to your benefit
Start off with some blue chip stocks. As you venture out, go back and read my very first sentence!
An old man once told me the stock market takes the elevator down but the stairwell coming back up
You can lose money rather quickly. It's pretty much the same as gambling
If you go in for a penny, go in for the pound, learn everything that you can
Realize, there's some pretty smart people out there that have lost their ass doing this!
Good luck
You best bet is to go long term which is opposite of day trading

You connect your line to 240 power. Two hots and a neutral for your transmission line and then split that into two 120 volt lines at your source. Standard breaker boxes will accomplish this.
However. This will give you more total power...but not if you are just running one device.
For instance, for running two motors this will work much better than splitting a 120 volt line between two motors. But if you are running one motor the advantage is wasted. This is one reason why high amperage devices are usually 240 volts as amps go down and transmission improves as voltage goes up. To run once device you would need a transformer at both ends to up convert and down convert your single line voltage. This is rather expensive for the amps you're talking about.
What are you trying to run?
My current set up is 420 feet of 2-2-4 direct burial cable with 240 volts that I split to 120 at my house....and I also use 240 at 50Amps for my welder, which works fine.
Using this calculator was pretty handy for figuring out my needs.
