South Korea ROCKS!
Anyone here seen “The Amazing Spiderman”? Anything stand out to you?
Did to me.
Won’t see no shit like that in North Korea, that’s for damn sure! If you have no other reason to hate commies, hot, free, Asian chicks dancing, should make it happen for you. Just saying.
This beats the crying people in the North scared because one of the elf leaders died.
Obama pardons turkey…
…turkey killed anyway.
Yeah, that seems about right. No reason a turkey pardon should be anymore binding than any other promise he makes.

Ha ha ha ha!
Think about the implications of that video. It is just silly, fun, pop cultural pap from Seoul. Just a few miles north of Seoul, however, is people who have never been free… ever.
In fact, they have lived under the most intensely totalitarian regime in human history. They live in constant fear and hunger. If the singer in that video – Hyuna – would have been born in the north, she would have been a radically different person. She would have known terror, starvation and death. She would have been smaller due to malnutrition and she would have no idea of the world of pop music stardom.
It is astounding when you think about it. It is like a massive experiment in which millions of lab rats are subjected to generations of nightmarish mistreatment.
In order to compare and contrast the effects, we have a control group in the South. The control group speaks the same language, had the same religions and, until 70 years ago had the same history. The control group gets food and entertainment and travel and information and freedom.
It is like some dystopian future science fiction novel. I bet South Korea would more easily assimilate into Oregon than rejoin with the north. I bet they have passed the evolutionary point in their culture when they can never be reunited.

Are our representatives too frightened to speak like this man?
Ok so you guys are killing me with paying $.60+ per round for .223. PMC X-Tac can be found for $.40 per round for fmjbt. Prvi Partizan is west bloc surplus. Both are Good ammo. Check ammoman dot com, palmettostatearmory dot com. I like PSA. It has great deals. They also have gen 2 pmags with window for $15.15. I buy from them often.
I just paid $0.42 per round, including shipping for brass cased, .223, 55gr FMJ at http://www.ammunitiontogo.com/
It was a 1,500 round lot.
Awesome RD. I’m in the market for another couple thousand rounds of 5.56. Also seriously considering a reloading startup.

Pats over Jets, 28-0 with 9 min left in the first half. Fucking beautiful.
Jets offensive lineman’s ass credited with one sack on his own quarterback. Impressive. ^_^
Reloading setups:
I have been looking at getting into reloading. I also shoot competition pistol (USPSA).
My friends that reload use mostly the Dillon presses. They have a “NO BS Warranty”.
I am looking at putting together as much of this as possible when I actually have money again.
If you are looking at getting into reloading, http://www.brianenos.com has a great resource. He pushes Dillon products (he is sponsored by them) but there are volumes of information available on the forum there that discuss reloading questions and suggestions.
I like ammotogo too. I used to get my 37mm stuff from them. I stopped playing with my “flare gun” a while back though.
Anyone have any experience with a .22LR conversion kit for an AR-15?
http://www.cmmginc.com/product_p/22ba6e1.htm
Check out http://www.ammoseek.com
It is a ammo search engine.
If you are thinking about reloading check out handloads.com
It has a load data database and you can search by caliber, powder and bullet weight.
At the risk of sounding uber-prepper, I was also brainstorming with my godfather about reloading in a SHTF scenario.
Where the shit do we get lead? Or *primers* FFS? I mean, we’re all trained in bladed weapons and bows, but… Maintaining *firearms*?? I’d like not to resort to goddamn muskets if at all possible.
Before I go spelunking, anyone know about this SHTF-ammo scenario?
The people that network are stockpiling everything they can.
Wal-Mart has 7.62 x 39 for 4.97 for 20 rounds. Guys are buying 200-400 rounds and coming back in few days for more. .223 is same price.
I reload so I have setback extra powder. I will buy casings primers and projectiles and load my own.
I probably have 8k rounds in 5.56 x 62 grain, bought it at wal-mart. It is federal with Lake City brass. If you watch sales I’ve purchased at .33 cents
I just looked on cheaper..,ammoman, and ammunition to go. What is the deal with .223/5.56 tracer ammo? Are we getting to the bottom of the barrel? I can’t think of any shtf scenario where I would want to send tracers downrange. Tamping down muzzle flash is bad enough. Are they using it as range ammo? If I’m missing something, please note it.
check out the new Survival Tips post on the front page. I just moved the conversation as this is uber-important information!
Heading south today.
Be safe in your travels, Jim.
Drive careful and watch out for banditos, jim. Give the missus my best.

anybody with knowledge of medicinal plants?
I’m making my seed order (one of them) and came across the toothache plant, however further research with reviews of it are not very compelling. Would like to get some hands on info, as a family member’s death was most likely aided by the daily consumption of st. john’s wort tea by another well meaning family member.
Catnip is a sedative and mild numbing agent.
If you haven’t done so – you really should take the time to go through and actually read the Survival Tips section of the Revo, folks! Print out any documents there. Great info to have on hand when/if the intertoobs are no longer available. Check it out. Do it. Now. I’ll wait. There will be a quiz afterward.
Excellent point about printing that info and keeping it on paper. I was thinking the exact thing a few days ago.
See, I was waiting.
It’s good information that you can throw in a box or a closet somewhere — and never be without useful, necessary, survival information!
Awesome. Couple needs A/C install. Installer finds $300K in gold dust!
Anyone here seen the movie “the day”? Good post-apocalyptic flick. Watch it. Good times.
(Facepalm!)
is there anything you guys havent’ covered already?
I keep a binder of printed material. Not just survival info, but for the past two years I have been printing out articles of the travesty of justice that we have been living under. Because you know they are going to rewrite the history books.
What are you doing up so early? It’s 5:18CST
hi Bman!
this is late for me (6am) i used to milk cows at 4;00 am. old habits die hard. what are YOU doing up?
I worked at the bar. Haven’t been to bed yet. An 11 hour shift serving dipshits makes it so you can’t sleep, otherwise the nightmares start.
I always thought Sunday was a day of rest. Waking up at 4am isn’t rest in my book
Fubar said: “Is there anything you guys haven’t covered already?”
Not really. We’re pretty-much the go-to resource for all things “informational”.
I’ve been researching the feral hog problem in the US, I just read this book EATING ALIENS by jackson Landers – great read. anyway, i found this
http://tinyurl.com/cjw34z5
does this piss anyone off? the expansion of the feral hogs is blamed on hunters transplanting them to areas for hunts. It’s my understanding that esp in VA, they STUDY the hogs, but there is no budget to REMOVE the hogs (that destroy valuable farmland and habitats for native creatures) and the hunting restrictions are such that hardly any are bagged. Typical. They also blame local farmers for ‘escapees’ i believe awhile back they were trying to limit hog facilities because of this, maybe in Michigan. Back to more research.
btw, Mr fubar went on one of those hunts awhile back and bagged 4 of them. the younger ones are tasty.
I’ve had some incredible feral hog! There’s an open season on them in Michigan. Louisiana, too!
FYI… On Amazon.com “cyber monday” is the dvd “Serenity” in Blu-ray for $8.99, also tons more mostly at $9.99.
Wow.
That is all.
Feral hog, javelina, ground hogs, porcupine, prairie dogs, and a lot more are out there by the millions. They all go well with rice.
I’ve been meaning to post something about storing rice. Here is just a short primer:
In his prescient piece about an attack of virus from enemies, RD mentioned that he was wondering how much dog food he had saved.
We learned something about feeding dogs from Iditarod mushers. They feed factory dry dog food mixed with either fish or fatty mammals – mostly beaver – with rice. They cook it all and feed it to their dogs.
Mrs22 has been saving chicken skins and fat, beef and pork leavings, and some other things. She cooks them in lots of water and when cool picks the bones clean. Then she adds plain white rice and cooks it until it’s cooked. She adds it to dry dog food on about a one to one ration for the dogs.
The dogs eat the flavored rice first.
The exact same thing works with humans. Rice is high in protein and carbos. Asians have known this for thousands of years. Just a little fish or meat is all that’s needed to make it a tasty meal.
Rice is cheap. Walmart has it in 20# sacks at about $.50 a pound. Costco has it for less than .40.
A five gallon bucket will hold 35# of rice including a metalized mylar liner to keep out bugs and light.

‘Please spare my little girl’: How Mexico’s fearless female mayor sacrificed herself to save her daughter’s life as she was abducted by drug gang, tortured and executed
Edited…
When some doubted that she had been shot, Gorrostieta bared the scars that riddled her flesh and swore she would never give in.
In a statement to the public made at the time, the devout Catholic said: ‘At another stage in my life, perhaps I would have resigned from what I have, my position, my responsibilities as the leader of my Tiquicheo.
‘But today, no. It is not possible for me to surrender when I have three children , whom I have to educate by setting an example, and also because of the memory of the man of my life, the father of my three little ones, the one who was able to teach me the value of things and to fight for them.
‘Although he is no longer with us, he continues to be the light that guides my decisions.’
She added: ‘I struggle day to day to erase from my mind the images of the horror I lived, and that others who did not deserve or expect it also suffered.

Grim discovery: Residents of the community of San Juan Tararameo found her body as they went to work in the fields
‘I wanted to show them my wounded, mutilated, humiliated body, because I’m not ashamed of it, because it is the product of the great misfortunes that have scarred my life, that of my children and my family.’
‘Despite my own safety and that of my family, what occupies my mind is my responsibility towards my people, the children, the women, the elderly and the men who break their souls every day without rest to find a piece of bread for their children.
‘Freedom brings with it responsibilities and I don’t dare fall behind. My long road is not yet finished – the footprint that we leave behind in our country depends on the battle that we lose and the loyalty we put into it.’
After her ordeal she remarried and ran for a seat in Mexico’s Congress of the Union, but failed to gain the backing she needed.
She remarried and dropped out of the public eye.
But it was still almost inevitable that she would eventually pay for her bravery with her life

took my dog and cat to the vet last nite, there’s a flu shot for dogs now -H3N8.
wow. feeding on the panic that pet holders have about the health of their dog. found this:
http://tinyurl.com/l89bsh
from a vet;
“Canine Flu came from the use and overuse of modified flu vaccine in the equine. The horses had the vaccine sprayed up their noses and then the modified live virus mutated to be able to attack and infect dogs. The first were the racing greyhounds on the very tracks that the equine flu came from.
You can expect that the virus will once again mutate and jump to infect man and probably the cat, anyone that shares the environ with the dogs. Some dogs … because a vaccine has nothing to do with the ability of the individual to deal with a virus … may not have any signs until a stressor or another trigger comes along … bad food, travel, crowding, the physical exertion of racing, etc.
People getting flu vaccines is most likely where the flu mutated from us to the horses……and we can expect much more of that with all of these pop a shot for profit coming down the pike. I’m particularly worried about groomers and kennel owners believing they need to add this shot to their requirements for service. Then you will see stressed out multiply-housed animals really rise a mutation.
It’s the very use of vaccines is what keeps the disease in play. Vaccination does not mean immunization; it does not mean immunity. Every vaccination is experimentation under the guise of providing health care delivery.”
Congrats RJM…

While it won’t be a RevoFiesta it might be just as damned fun. For the rest of you, if you’re in the area or could be, fire me a note. Wifey has no idea how many of you there are, lol. Frankly, I don’t give a damn about the crowd but need to know how many turkeys to fry and hams to buy.
So there ya go. Invitation is not only open but enthusiastic. All I ask is an RSVP. Just think, you’ll get to meet the legendary Mrs Locke, lol.

Yesterday I bought some subsonic .22LR rounds and today fired them through my bolt action rifle. I would say they made no more noise than the clap of hands.
Out to about 50 yards, I can see no real difference in bullet drop. I didn’t try anything further Obviously there will be less kinetic energy, however. It punched right through an old hubcap with out problem, however.
Super quiet with a bolt action.
Just passing it on as good to know.

RD, What brand? Did you have to order them?
I got them at Gander Mountain but they are available at Walmart.
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Remington-Subsonic-.22-Cartridge/17474405
I bought some .22 shorts too. In my bolt action, they sound about like snapping fingers. They would be good for taking out rabid varmints in town or other places where you want to be quiet.
By the way, when my son was kicking in doors in Iraq, they would send guys to the area with these type of rounds to take out dogs and street lights first. Dead dogs don’t bark.
