How much weight does a 5 gal bucket/mylar bag store? (as in does it hold 25lbs, 50lbs, etc.)
Also are the weights different?

I gave the Order today, to be armed at all times at home. Its time to start getting used to Living with side arms. Practice safety like active duty. We are not under threat here, however, "The Counsel" agrees with my order. Life has changed, and its time to get comfortable with Threat. Like Active Duty. Sorry Man, "The Gooks Are Inside The Wire". The MAG is Transitioning. All Weapons are being checked for Lube Condition. Its Time. September will be a **** Storm, November is too Late. We are consolidating Preps at the Rally Point. What are Yall doing Different? Don't Panic.
Canned goods still plenty in stock.
Paper towels still plenty in stock.
Last week the side wall was half full of toilet paper. An employee said people were buying almost none of it. Went today, and half of their stock was gone. So wen went from full shelves, to half gone in a week. Previous weeks the shelves were full also.
Some of you may wonder why I reference Dollar General a lot. That is because they have moved into the rural areas. Driving a few miles beats driving 20 miles to the local walmart of full sized grocery store.
Nice to meet everyone
Although he did not say, if schools don't open, then one parent will have to stay home and home school. If that knocks out one income earner, then less money is available for the family to spend which would re-open the economy. Will conditions in the economy improve or get worse? Tough decisions out there!

Well if he was trying to enter my home and hurt my family I wouldn't feel bad at all but he was just out doing what his kind are supposed to do... just so happened that he's making big holes under my shed and rock retaining wall in front of my house. Shooting at him wasn't personal and I certainly didn't want to make him suffer if it could be avoided. If I could go back in time I'd have used a rifle instead |
Go to the farmer's supply store and try a live trap. If you see him tomorrow relocate him. You'll feel better.
I want to start seeing conservatives hitting hard with this truth !!!! They are condoning mass collectivization and centralized enslavement of the entire world populace.
Resident Commies, what is your response. I guess you have no issue with over 100,000,000 World Citizens murdered in the last century by your sacred religion of State run fascism. Come on pinkos, I want to hear your tortured answers.

Slightly larger the diminutive MTR-3B but with many features offered for a tiny penalty in weight.
Broadband RX - 5 to 16 Mhz. Covers several SW broadcast bands, in addition to full band coverage on 40M/30M/20 meters. 5 watts, CW/CWR/ (rx only in the LSB/USB mode) Despite being CW tx only, this fill many needs and provides NVIS capability on 40 M (7 Mhz)
Waiting for mine to arrive as it will replace my MFJ-9200. While it is just 3 bands, these bands are the most popular for QRP work in the field.
Input can be 8 to 15 VDc,an important distinction from the MTR-3b.
At $188 USD, much less expensive the the LNR Precision MTR-#b ($300 USD)
These are very compact radio sets.

I have a long drive and put up about 50 24" flags for Memorial Day to line both sides. I also have a high flying flag but for the 4th, I'd love to line with American flags and put the Don't Tread on Me on the tree. Is that disrespectful? Need to take a quick temp and check my prism. Thoughts?
The confrontation was reminiscent of Komsomol thugs debating Christians and trying to convince them to leave the Orthodox Church during Soviet times. Only this time the thugs claimed to be Orthodox Christians.
As you will see in the video, when challenged to recite "Our Father" (The Lord's Prayer) and "The Symbol of Faith" (Nicene Creed) the Pravy Sektor thugs didn't have a clue and remained silent.
This schismatic movement that received the mistaken blessing of the EP is STRICTLY POLITICAL and has nothing to do with Orthodox Christianity.

The Twitterati on Saturday night reported that a "white supremacist" went on a mass shooting targeting "peaceful protesters" at Jefferson Square Park in Louisville, Kentucky.
This was the top result when searching "Jefferson Square Park" Sunday on Twitter:
Actor Daniel Newman told his nearly 1 million followers that it appeared that "a White Male just committed a Mass Shooting targeting Peaceful Black Americans."

These urban armpits – which day by day are fast becoming more like a third world ****hole rather than American cities – have become thug central, where leftists of all stripes are looting, burning stuff down, attacking police officers and generally making life miserable for those normal Americans in their midst.
But normal American aside, don't the liberals/progressives/socialists who infest these Democratic Party-controlled urban areas deserve what they're getting?
These leftists vote in even more strident leftists, they put them in charge of their counties and cities and they make them prosecutors and city council members.
They support failed leftist policies that have turned what were once thriving cities into the blatant messes they are today.
Leftists and the Democratic Party have had an iron grip on these urban areas for decades. and as they become even more leftist, they seem to double down on their nonsensical policies.
Those of us in rural areas and red states watch in disbelief as these blue cities begin to crumble. My only fear is these leftist thugs, after they eat there own, will decide to flee to our normal America.
Indeed, perhaps it's time for a wall, but not just on the U.S./Mexican border...

I can't comment at that site. Yes, we have had little breakup as was mentioned above from the article, but nothing substantial. I'd like to live in the Republican States of America. Don't see it happening. Plus how could we get together for self-defense of the country? The dem states may go with Mehico or China. Just no scenario to extreme for dems. Pretty soon we will be all on the same wavelength. Dems are set to take control of D.C. and the USA.
...Trump has been, at best, a speedbump, not a roadblock, in the Blob’s path.
Yes, every time he tried the left sued him. Mehico controls CA, we sold it off for cheap labor. Mehico is taking over TX. CA, TX and NYC can control the vote in the USA along with the other dem extremists states of the USA.
Now you hear lots of talk of Trump pulling out before November as he does not want to lose and knows he can't win. You hear this even from rep sites. I would not be surprised if he waited until near election to pull out. What a mess that would be. But it may be all talk. Either way I'm under no delusion Trump can turn America around. Trump just slows the train wreck.

Went outside, heard my 870 racking down at the greenhouse.
Found my wife stalking the garden with the less than lethal shotgun in magpul orange.
She had seen a bear inside the wire and was fighting it off with rubber buck.
(I've shot bears half a dozen times in the past couple weeks, its ridiculous up here)
There was almost no damage done this time, but I did find this in the wall of the greenhouse:
So, I spent tonight, in the rain, in chest high grass setting trip wires and motion alarms for Mrs bear as it seems she is determined to make trouble. (my neighbors had a window frame pulled out of the wall by this bear and a cabinet in their house destroyed by the bear going after dog food.)
This seems like a good time to share my version of the common grenade top , shotgun primer, tripwire alarm.
The normal pull pin system always bugged me as it seemed like it took a lot of force to pull the pin and there was no easy way to hook up the top on a wire so it didn't bind when the pin was pulled.
This is my version, the bail top trip alarm. The picture is pretty self explanatory. I use 16 gauge aluminum electric fence wire. This set up takes significantly less force than the pull pin method and does not require a solid mount, the detonator can be placed anywhere along the wire.
As usual, be careful when doing this. Blow up a primer in your fingers and it would hurt pretty badly I think and leave your ears ringing.
For me the free market was being able to go to a department store and not have it all be the same clothes for punk kids in LA or expensive womenware most don't afford. Seriously women who can afford that **** would NOT degrade themselves going to the 'mall' they'd go to places up their ladder we can't even go to. Yet since the Obama era stores have gone to the same punk clothes and we stopped shopping at the malls as we tried to avoid Amazon for the longest time. We didn't join till 2013. God has it been THAT long?
The free market was about stores competing with each other and giving unique services to attract that loyal base without chewing each other out. Now it's all owned by the same factory that seems to do the same stuff.
Wow this is like the Borg! You will surrender to us and service us! Resistance is futile! https://youtu.be/ql83z8yBx2M
The America I grew up in is LONG gone and I feel I'm in an alien world having to learn a new culture like when you go to Europe and you accidentally plug in the wrong voltage. I feel humanity is in the wrong voltage slot now.
How do we unplug or convert to the correct voltage and make things work again for humanity and bring that awe and wonder back? We're a few volts too short sadly to get the free market machine running at the right speed so we now have weird results spitting out.
(I hope we don't by accident destroy the capital machine all together in this election and blow a fuse with it turning the lights off).
Hey! Anyone have a spare fuse for the US?
PS: It feels the Tariffs are doing more harm then good as more stores shut down (well before Covid) and lead to the retail crisis that should've happened under Obama. I wonder if Trump is purposely killing off the non global companies as he's a globalist at heart? Or is there a deeper picture then they are letting on? Perhaps's he's not even aware of the hurt and struggle of the retail scene? Even the online giants like Amazon 'the retail store killer' as they are scapegoated are suffering as they have a lot less then they used to in many areas and a broken search engine.etc acting like Google's broken engine.
I thought the Tariffs were suppose to bring jobs back to the US. Here in Oregon more are going out then in. That's something you see in a depression not a boom! The Bush era was a BOOM!!! I can't say it loud enough. I wonder if the Bush era problem was TMI? (Too Much Information?) overloading the US?
I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of Heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Only-begotten, begotten of the Father before all ages; Light of Light: true God of true God; begotten, not made; of one essence with the Father, by Whom all things were made; Who for us men, and for our salvation, came down from the heavens, and was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and became man; And was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered, and was buried; And arose again on the third day according to the Scriptures; And ascended into the heavens, and sitteth at the right hand of the Father; And shall come again, with glory, to judge both the living and the dead; Whose kingdom shall have no end. And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Giver of Life; Who proceedeth from the Father; Who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified; Who spake by the prophets. In One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church. I confess one baptism for the remission of sins. I look for the resurrection of the dead, And the life of the age to come. Amen.

This week Russia held a referendum on changes to its Constitution. In this video Kirill, Patriarch of Moscow and All the Russias, casts his vote for the anti-liberal changes and speaks on why these changes are good for the people of Russia.
One of the changes is that G-d will be mentioned in the Constitution for the first time since the Bolshevik Revolution. Marriage will be spelled out and defined as between one MAN and one WOMAN. The purpose of the new Constitution is to reestablish the connection to the 1,000 year history of Russia which was interrupted for seven decades by Bolshevism.
wasn't sure wasn't sure where to post it hopefully this is a good forum for it essentially I'm looking to buy land in Vegas and and go off-grid I live here I am aware there's no water I heard our story from a friend of mine this one guy was living on private land and then after about 20 years I told him he needed to be connected to to the city's water supply or you would have to move so he sold so he sold and left so he sold and left . Looking within 50 miles of Vegas that you could be off the grid and be left alone. almost seems easier to buy a camper and just go on BLM land until you have to move if you cannot be left alone on your own property. Any advice much appreciated
I knew it was just a matter of time before they would go after him. It was a different time and different era. Yes, I agree it was racist what he said back in 1971 in a Playboy interview but black people didn't go into the streets and riot over it. Neither did the indians or anyone else.
I never heard a word about it because if something would have happened like that my dad would have been throwing a hissy fit about it. He didn't watch what he said or his language when blacks or any other race ticked him off. I would have heard about it for days. I know I heard enough about the Japanese to know that much.
But yea, keep on erasing history. People need to pull their heads out of their asses and grow up.

On a standard shotgun mag tube, a +2 would keep the end behind the muzzle on an 18" barrel. A +3 would put it a little ahead, or work for a 20" barrel.
Though I see lot's of gamers (3 gun) having mag tubes longer than the barrel, I guess that's a thing now.

My home state of Florida has HOV lanes everywhere, and a record setting 10,000 new cases per day. We've made masks mandatory outside the home, distancing mandatory, closed the bars and imposed a number of other restrictions aimed at slowing the spread.
It's time we eliminate the high risk HOV lanes.
When Yankees begin showing respect for my heroes, I'll start caring about theirs. When they came for my flag, Yankees said nothing. When they came for my statues, Yankees said nothing. Now they are coming for Yankee statues...and they suddenly want me to start caring. Either we begin to respect ALL of America's amazing historical monuments and symbols...or we don't. Choose well.

I just got off the phone with a friend and former coworker, after he had a bit of a close call. This morning he was forced to pull his carry gun in self defense, which fortunately did not require firing any shots.
After making the appropriate reports and such, he was at home and decided to field strip his EDC to clean and oil it, since he hadn't for a while. Well, when he went to clear it, he discovered that there was no round in the chamber. For some, this may not be abnormal, but for him it is. His pistol is an SR1911, which he keeps "cocked and locked."
So I just want to remind everyone to check their carry gun before strapping it on in the morning, because things happen, and there's nothing worse than hearing a click when you need a bang.
Supposedly US intelligence learned about it back in the spring and briefed the Whitehouse....at least according to the story by NY times.
WH press secretary released a statement on it. She didn't deny the intelligence on the alleged bounty but just that Trump or Pence were briefed on it.

I live in Minnesota. I want to build an indoor root cellar in the basement. I will insulate and vapor barrier a small room in the northeast corner of a walkout basement. My initial plan was to put a wire-mesh covered PVC pipe straight out the side of the house with a mechanical valve to pipe in free cold air throughout late fall, winter, and early spring. All the advice I have been given is to automate this and use a heat pump instead to maintain the approximately 40 degrees required. The other issue is how to keep the humidity at 85-90%. The commercial humidifiers I have found have a maximum of about 45%. Has anyone built indoor root cellars like this and what advice do you have?
MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - The City of Minneapolis is spending $4,500 a day for private security for three council members who have received threats following the police killing of George Floyd, FOX 9 has learned.
A city spokesperson said the private security details have cost the city $63,000 over the past three weeks.
The three council members who have the security detail – Andrea Jenkins (Ward 8), and Phillipe Cunningham (Ward 4), and Alondra Cano (Ward 9)– have been outspoken proponents of defunding the Minneapolis Police Department.

Hey...woke isn't free.
No one was arrested but a tragedly was only narrowly averted. I am surprised and relieved that no one was shot. The problem is that airsoft guns of all makes are customer driven to look realisric as possible and wiegh the same as the actual firearm they are imitating, so they do, at 1/2 to 1/10 th the retail price. Thier customer base is mixed between fanboys, mall ninjas, prepper / survivalist groups, vets wanting to preserve hard won skills and organised hobbyists who enjoy a death free form of combat.
For 2A folks like us, why not? From a safety perspective, to me it seems like a future justified shooting riot. Those cops thought 100% that the protestors were locked and loaded and fomenting insurrection. Upon finding out the truth, I hear that all were rattled. My question is, what would happen in your state? What laws cover realistic non-firearms in cases of brandishing (pointing) and threats or police shootings (John Crawford in Bravercreek Walmart)?
I did a thread on the boogaloo bois who allegedly carry airsoft rifles and wear chest rigs/plate carriers. Does anyone have any insight to airsoft use in various groups? Please no names or identifying details, just cites or circumstances please. This is just my morbid curiosity!
Here are some of mine:
Don't fear the night, fear what hunts in the night.
Life is a walk through the forest, don't fear the trees, fear what lurks behind them.
This one I got early in life and I do believe it kept me alive in a number of circumstances;
On the plains of hesitation, lie the blackened bones of countless millions, who, on the eve of victory sat down to rest, and resting died.
A buddy of mine who was committed to being a lifer had a saying for all the **** circumstances "Look at it as just another day towards 20." He didn't make it.
When the wife or kids got all frazzled about something I would say..
"ask yourself, in a million years will it make a difference, if not don't sweat it."
They didn't like me much at times..

But the vehicle in the entourage may have a bubble on top. Surprisingly the secret service told that to a gal that had asked them what the bubble was for when we watched Trump drive by at an event. I thought it was for radar. But it is all spec in any case.

Like most yeast bread recipes, this rustic multigrain bread takes some time to make. But it’s not difficult! And it’s definitely a recipe for all levels of skill. Let’s break down the steps:
1. Soak bulgur wheat with water to soften it.
2. Heat more water with the honey and butter until warm and butter is melted. This warm mixture is what will activate the yeast so it can start working its magic.
3. Add all of the ingredients except for the all-purpose flour to the bowl of a stand mixer (if you plan to knead with a dough hook, or in a large bowl if kneading by hand) and combine to make a wet dough.
4. Start kneading the dough, adding the all-purpose flour a little at a time. Add only enough flour so the dough clears the side of the bowl but still feels tacky. You may need less than 1 cup, you may need a lot more. Every time I make a loaf it’s different!
5. Knead the dough until it’s smooth and doesn’t break immediately when you stretch it.
6. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise for about 1 hour until it’s doubled in size.
7. Gently punch down the dough to release the trapped air, knead it a few times and bring it back into a ball.
8. Place it in a dutch oven or large oven-proof pot with a lid and brush with egg wash and sprinkle with oats. Use a sharp knife to slice 3 cuts into the top of the bread. These cuts will help control the rise of the bread in the oven so it’s doesn’t burst open at a random spot.
9. Let rise for another half hour or so, while you preheat the oven to 425°F.
10. When ready to bake cover pot with the lid and put in oven (you may need to lower the oven rack to make room). Reduce oven temp to 400°F.
11. After about 45 minutes of baking, bread should be slightly golden on top and baked all the way through.
12. Remove from the pot and try to resist cutting into it until it has cooled.
