Agreed. Thats as much or more crap then a new ffl purchase. Tapatalk ate my spelling.

How do you feel about having a hillbilly blacksmith on the show? Lol Tapatalk ate my spelling.

I used to ride Windrock before it was even called windrock. Once it got to crowded I just rode the least used single track trails up there and on pvt land. First dirt bike was an xr 100 when I was 8. Upgraded to a yz 490 two stroke when I was 13 and rode that big beast on all kinds of single track. When I went in the military I didnt ride again until Japan where I bought a yz 125, popped the motor after 3 months, so I bought a yz 490 motor off ebay and built a 500 cc two stroke on a 125 frame. Lots of port work and head work on the 490 motor. Scary beast. Currently without a ride at the moment, but that 490 motor is in the garage waiting for a new frame. Me in okinawa Stock 125 490 motor on 125 frame with custom tank Tapatalk ate my spelling.

I think you are going to have to break everything in that list down into an expense sheet. That is how the what if game works, right? Lol. Its a long shot that I win tbe powerball, since I dont even spend my money on any lottery stuff Tapatalk ate my spelling.

So just for fun, lets play a game of what if. Heres the scenario. You win the lottery to the tune of $100 million after lump sum and taxes. What would you spend the money on for prepping? Heres mine: Weapons: Rifles Custom AR-15 in 300 blk out with 5k rounds of super and 5k rounds of subsonic along with lead and reloading componets for another 20k 10" barreled SBR AR 15 in 300 blk out Both of the above supressed, and with full auto sears and good optics Accuracy international precision rifle in .338 LM with high end optic and 2k rounds of match grade ammo Handguns: High end 1911s in 9mm, 10mm, 45 acp and .357 mag with a few thousand rounds for each caliber A two m2 .50 cals with 20k rounds each A mini gun with independent mount in the bed of the truck Vehicles Custom 2.5 ton with luxury interior, up armored DPV (desert patrol vehicle) dune buggy with .50 cal mounted Homestead. 1k acres on the mountain I grew up on. 200 head of cattle, 100 hogs, chickens, goats, and several draft horses. Two wells for water with solar and wind powered pumps. Solar panel field for power. Windmills for power. Underground 5k gallon diesel storage tank. Two large diesel generators. 10 room ballsticly fortified home built from steel and concrete filled block. Several smaller houses for a preppers community. Various: Night vision goggles, FLIR setups, good quality plate carrier rigs for 10 people. 3 years of stored food for family of 8. 1 year stored water for family of 8. Thats my start on spending 100 million on prepping. What would be yours if expense was no object. Tapatalk ate my spelling.

I finished 4 of the Holding Their Own books. It is a great series so far. The characters remind me of me and my wifes interaction. It has some good action, but the author keeps the hero from seeming rambo like and just like a good guy with above avaerage tactical skill and lots of luck. It does a good job of explaining the weaposn systems and is realistic in their capabilities and what the average prepper would likely have access too. Book number 5 came out last week and I'm twitching wanting to read it but I have to wait until Friday/payday lol. Anyways, anyone else got any new suggestions? Tapatalk ate my spelling.

It wont burn the carbon out but it will remove the temper from it unless you can keep it under 200 degrees. Basically if its hot to the touch its to hot. You reharden and retemper it after doing the grinding. If youd anneal it before cutting and working you wont wear out as many gridning disc Tapatalk ate my spelling.

Btw the knife looks really good, great work. As far as fusing two blades, the only way I know of would be forge welding as broomhead said. Basically you pull both pieces of metal to welding heat, flux and hammer them together. It would be just like making damascus. Itd be much simpler to buy thicker steel as that much weldind would be hard. Though you could use that and some mild steel and make it into forge welded damascus and it would make a great blade. Tapatalk ate my spelling.

Most older leaf springs are 5160 or 6150. Those are two different metal types, Im not confused lol. They average 2.5" wide and 3/8th thick and take a lot of heavy forge work. Stock removal would be even harder and they make a good blade but its heavy. Tapatalk ate my spelling.

Sounds limr you handled it well. As a side note, and I am not condoning this at all, always park close enough that your door will reach far into the lane when shielding another car. I may have a.... friend who once opened a drivers door and headed around the hood on an asshole who did the same thing, like he was gonna run them over. He didnt swerve in time. His insurance bought the door back and I have a feeling he never did that shit again. sent from the backwoods

You can drink all the beer you want at 17/18 with military ID. Yeah and when your command catches you you will go to Non Judicial Punishment and lose one rank, half a months pay for 2 months and 3 months of restriction. It is NOT legal to drink under the age of 21 even if military and the military will happily fry your ass for it. I had plenty of friends who learned that the hard way. I just got off Active Duty from the Marines last year. The only area where you can drink under 21 was at the Marine Corps ball, and that was at CO's discretion. Also when I was stationed in Okinawa the drinking age for military was 20 yrs old to coincide with Okinawan law. That had only went into effect 6 months before I got there. sent from the backwoods

Well, here is a newsflash for you.........underage drinking is a crime ABC agents focus on in every state. You are not going to see ABC agents investigating crimes like murder, rape, robbery, etc.... They are going to focus on alcohol related crime, that is their job. Odds are that Harris Teeter store has a track record of selling alcohol to underage people, so the agents are merely focusing their efforts where the crime exists. They are going after the buyers, but ultimately want to get the sellers. That being said, and if the news story is accurate, the tactics they used are just plain dumb. Swarming three young ladies in a store parking lot, at night, in plainclothes is just ridiculous. At the very minimum, the agents who make the contact should be in some sort of uniform that makes them immediately recognizable a LEOs. And here is another suggestion for these agents: in the future, it might be prudent to have an agent in the store to verify that someone actually bought alcohol.....and not bottled water. These guys were full of the stupid. I can only hope that they will look at this, learn a lesson and change their tactics. Sorry sore subject. Kinda like NFA laws. I can join tbe military at 18 (17 with parental consent) and go fight and possibly die for my country but I can't drink a beer. Like I said, maybe we could focus all this time and money on real crime instead of having another useless agency like the ATF. sent from the backwoods

Ok this is the first one to say it in a way I understand it. Kind of like the brick and mortar stores that post no firearms don't get my business. The only problem with this is that the reason they don't get my business is because it affects me personally. I don't see how supporting equal rights for homosexuals affects me in any way. Ok so you guys just don't like them using the word "married"? You know that is just a descriptive term right? If you get the same things from being "married" or have a "civil union" then they are synonyms and mean the same thing. Why doesn't the church just call it a "زواج" or "×—×ª×•× ×”"? I mean since Christianity came out the middle east that is likely what it was called in Arabic and Hebrew. What I am getting at here is that is just a word used to describe a legal status. To quote one of my favorite comedians: Just because the government says it is ok doesn't mean they get into heaven. lol As for coming to your church to get married, they want to get married in a church that discriminates against them as much I wwant to get married in a Muslim, Rastafarian etc church. Come on do you really think they want be married there or are pushing to make it law where your church has to marry them? They don't like you just as much as you don't like them...maybe more because you are affecting their lives much more than they are yours. Pedofiles don't effect my life either because I dont have kids, but I still disagree with them and think its morally wrong. I bet they hate me because I vote to keep their lifestyle illegal. I wouldn't support a business that supported pedofiles, just as I won't support one that supports gays, liberals, or any anti gun campaign. Those things don't affect me personally, but I do honestly believe that homsexuality, along with lots of other things, leads to the moral decline of this country which affects me and future generations.And I'm not saying gays are more likely to be pedos, id say your average pedofile is a 40 something single male with no homosexual tendencies in the open. And yes marriage is just a descriptive term. So why do they want it applied so badly, if a civil union granted them the same rights? That argument goes both ways. sent from the backwoods

It said she was 20. Probably trying to bust underage college kids buying beer. You know, instead of worrying about a real crime. sent from the backwoods

If that had been my wife or one of my sisters there is a very good possibility one ofnthose agents would be shot right now. All the stuff they put out there about plains clothes guys pretending to be cops for various reasons, and these idiots think its a good idea to run up on two females in a parking lot because they "might" be carrying beer. Why not just write down the tag nukber and havea uniformed officer do a traffic stop? This is going to end the same place as no knock warrants. With a lot of good cops dead over a bad decision to raid the wrong house or rush up on the wrong people who had done nothing wrong. sent from the backwoods

This is very true. And its most visible in the military. You can stay single, live in a barracks, and get paid less, or you can get married, move off base as a low rank, get paid a ton of extra for housing and food, get seperations pay when deployed, etc. Marriage should have no affect on rights or benefits. sent from the backwoods

The ones I can find that I use, yes. Youtube, google, gmail, google maps. I dropped the last 3 after the gun stuff awhile back. Like I said earlier. Don't flash it in my face and I dont give a shit. Just like being gay. Respect me in public. Dont stick your tounge down each others throats, dress and act at least a little modestly and I really don't care what you do in the bedroom. I want straight people to act the same way. A little modesty on both sides of the sexual coin would do this country some good sent from the backwoods
