I’m probably preaching to the choir here but the increase in violence and threats since Trump’s election is telling. The level of incivility and pure hate has reached a level I have never seen. Every passing day it seems to grow to new extremes. I’m not saying anything you haven’t heard or probably have seen yourself. It just confirms to me that an American Reformation – a new Civil War – is unavoidable. The Progressives are digging in and becoming very unified. That my friends is dangerous. Very dangerous.
10 years from now what will this country look like?

SAVE SOME MONEY, SHOOT SOME MORE TIP: Paper plates. Yes – use paper plates as targets. Think about it. You can buy paper plates of different sizes CHEAP! Of course, a ream of paper is the ultimate but paper plates hold up better and are round.

Has anyone performed any tests with Tannerite to see how long it is good once mixed?
◊ ◊ ◊ ◊ ◊
Mentioned that I had a project vehicle I was buying – a 1994 Jeep Cherokee. I finally took possession of it. Now to start putting together a list of what needs to be done and get started. It’s rough but has potential.
There are many reasons why so many love their Kindle and Amazon Fire tablets. One huge advantage is you could literally go years without every buying a book to read as there are tons of free eBooks available. Don’t have a Kindle or Fire? No problem. There are apps that can be installed on most any cell phone or computer for free. No excuses!

NOTE: If you see a free preparedness eBook that you’re interested in get it now. Prices change often and there is no way to tell how long the book will remain free. Before purchasing a free preparedness Kindle book on Amazon make certain the book is still free by making sure the price is $0.00. If it lists a price or says “read for free” or has a price for prime members the book is not free anymore.
Tannerite is good indefinitely when mixed. The thing to be careful of is that when mixed, it is an explosive and transport, storage and handling laws apply.
Tannerite is just ammonium nitrate sensitized with aluminum powder.
Thanks, PB. I have been meaning to do some testing and end up blowing up all my “test subjects”. Storing 1/2 – 1 pound containers of mixed Tannerite inside bird houses strategically located in certain areas could be a definite combat multiplier. Possibly adding a desiccant pack inside would assist. If the situation calls for it a round into the bird house could provide potential trespassers something to think about – and the need for a change of underwear.
Desiccant pack can’t hurt as AN is very hygroscopic (readily absorbs moisture). Might consider food saver vacuum packing. AN performs better when dense packed (i.e. under vacuum in a tight mass).
Many ways to improve this for discussion elsewhere.
PB – good idea on the vacuum packing. Throw in a desiccant pack and that should really assist in keeping moisture at bay.
I use paper targets regularly, and add a “dot” bullseye with a red bingo marking highlighter or red sticky dots from an office supply store. Works great!
Agree Austex7124. Been using those for a long time as well.
I started drawing triangles at the 3, 6, 9 and 12 o’clock positions on the pie plates I use. Then I torture myself trying to put rounds in each of the four angles. 16 rounds total times ‘x’ plates. Cheap and challenging for an old guy.
Good idea JustAnotherVet!
Now THAT’s an efficient use of a paper plate!
I look forward to hearing about the Jeep as you progress. I am just starting a new AR build with my list of “All the bells and whistles” I would want to create a VERY SMALL and hard hitting rifle.
They include:
1. Franklin Armory Binary Firing System
2. Law Tactical Folding Stock Adapter
3. Dolos QD Barrel attachment with 12″ YHM M-Lock
4. Magpul MOE Stock and Rubberized Grip
5. AimPoint Comp M4 with FlashKill
6. Viking Tactical Sling
7. Insight weapons light for M-Lock
To me these are the tasteful upgrades that I would want without all of the ‘Tacticool” items that I don’t need.
Bye the way, I love the images you are using, but the guy hiding behind the Hind, should be laying down looking under that nose glass with sights on the potential target :).
Thanks a heck of a weapons system Brad M!! Would love to try that binary weapons system.
Funny, Brad, I had same thought but it looked like a suicidal position to me anyway with all those guys in the background.
Yeah, I mean I know the Hind had an armored nose pod, but it is damaged, and hey that is a plexiglass window, and most people can see through plexiglass windows, right? Hunker down, get stable, and your low profile, along with some cover, concealment, and stability can count for a lot. Beside, he has a 30 rd magazine (Clip for the liberals who accidentally stumble across this) and if I make out 11 tangos…well that’s almost 3 per tango.
JR, I look for the hate to spill over into the streets before much longer. If I had kids in college today, I would have to take a long hard at the school. If it had a history of liberalism or if it had the latest of the nut cases trying to upstage any conservative rally, my kid would come home and find a new school. Parents allowing their kids to participate in these events should not be surprised if they end up shot at some violent rally.
I agree Oren. Times are getting more and more unpredictable and to a certain point geographically dependant on level of threat and danger.
On the violence..
I’ll agree with Oren. I’m thankful to live further out than Urban dwellers .. and dislike having to go in at all these days. I’ve been forced to go hands on or brandish 4 times now in 6 months.. Liberal rousing or not .. all were poor, and stressed out to the max and or drugged. Put anyone one in a “no place to go” mode and then poke em and you get the same thing. They are deliberately being provoked and the they have not let up and even increased the fake new to discredit all things conservative and most things American. There has indeed been a consolidation. I watched C-SPAn again while running .. on the wiretap investigations.. In every case the R’s built questions based on evidence and asked both NSA and Comey questions. In every case the D’s asked based on published trash and hearsay then crey conclusions, in some cases supplying the answer they wanted to get agreement. And they let it stand. It can’t end well.
On tannerite.. a friend uses it to blow stumps. So yeah it works well.. Moisture is the real killer .. it never really goes bad. You might consider either a shot or command detonated … Command can be small DC voltage and can be used remote or on switches in the perimeter.. Smaller medicine bottle sizes as warnings ….
It’s illegal to transport MIXED., but not illegal to transport the makings “unmixed”.
There are some add ons that can really enhance the outcome as well ..
As with any thing that volatile.. be really careful. FYI if you use glass and aluminum to mix it cannot spark..
Good luck with the vehicle

Thanks, GG58. I am going to do some tests on the Tannerite and we’ll see how it goes. Would like to video the results and share with everyone.
You can draw snowflakes on your plates to make it a more realistic experience. Zombies are so yesterday.
I’ll say it again, people on the right Are underestimating the left. They are not afraid to get physical , not afraid to start protests, to burn things down to get their agenda across they feel is in jeopardy of losing. They have the media behind them in conus and internationally. Once the right gets their noses bloodied and fight back, the left will scream they are the victims and every media source will come to their rescue. The left has useful idiots at their disposal at the drop of the hat 24\7. The right doesn’t. Look at my post a couple days ago how one liberal site views conservatives. It was quoted word for word.
For the jeep, Monroe load adjusting shocks for the rear end and all polyurethane bushings for front end. Best decision ever made. Tightened everything up.
Agree jh – and thanks for the advice on suspension.
