Christmas dinner my youngest heard someone on TV say “Merry Christmas”. He then said that he thought it was against the law to say Merry Christmas on television. My wife and I asked him where in the world he got that from and he wasn’t sure. I know where that came from. It came from the supposedly all understanding, compassionate, and fair-minded left-wing Liberals.
Insanity.

Picked two new EDC bags – both made by Condor. These are not survival kits or get home bags rather more utility or incidental pouches. Well – the larger bag could work as a small get home bag. I’ve just started putting them together and one is pretty small I am envisioning having the larger bag as one of those “jack of all trade” bags that contain a wide assortment of items to assist in all kinds of situations.
Here are the two bags – the Condor T & T Pouch and the Condor E & E Bag.

Silver has dropped under $16 per ounce. I see it continuing to go down and possibly get in the $13 range.

Something for you……
Am using the Trump time to double down on preps, incuding silver. Imo the inflation bubble slash SHTF is coming regardless who is in office, he may be the best one to mitigate and reduce the impact, but it can’t be stopped. Kissinger said Trump is an anomaly, but he may only be a speed bump in slowing down there ultimate agenda.
You are exactly right Badger. In this environment of euphoria(if you are on the Right) it is easy to forget the depth of hole we are in.
I put together a small EDC bag awhile back so as to lighten up my pocket and keychain litter. Amazed at what I have managed to cram in/on there.
Clipped outside: J5 tactical light, SOG multitool with bits, paracord bracelet/handle.
Flapped front pocket:: Two 4oz pkg.chicken breast, MRE crackers, Tactical pen and mechanical pencil, write in rain pad…
In zippered pocket flap: 25′ paracord, Exotac waterproof Bic holder, 2 moleskins, Spork, MecArmy USB light, s.s. capsule lighter, 2 s.s. pill vials for meds,
inside small pockets: S&W flic knife, 3000mh X grid battery and USB cable, 4 Readyman cards, $50, spare Makarov mag. Frontier water filter straw, Israeli battle dressing. Zip bag of tinder.
Larger net pocket: Makarov .380, 3 oz grannies potato soup, wash cloth, condom, 100 prescription pain killers.
MOLLE bag is about 8x6x5, just a bit larger than my IFAK. Grab and go bag that can be dropped into or strapped onto a larger BOB.
Thanks for sharing D.
Just bought a tube (20) of Silver Eagles for $18.60 apiece. In 2012 I was paying $37.50. Ammo on sale everywhere too. Got 500 rounds of 9MM from Sportsman’s Guide for $94.98, included free shipping. It’s a good time to stock up.
Good stuff Matt. I saw some Tula steel cased .223 here for well under $5.00 for 20 rounds. Not a huge Tula fan but wanted to pick some up. Christmas was here so funds had to go elsewhere.
I have one of the T&T pouches and have used it as a navigation kit, but have since repurposed it as a gun support kit for what I carry. It has everything I need in a small package that keeps it all organized.
JR, you are right. The amount of people in this area now saying Merry Christmas is wonderful to see, hope the feeling continues. Hope every onr out there had a Merry Christmas and we wish you a Happy New Year.
Why is silver going down? Seems like ammo in NYS is still high .
We are gearing up for a major northeaster.Our area is due for 8 inches-other parts of NYS due for over 2 feet. These are times it feels good to be prepped with extra food.
May you all have a Blessed and safe New Year !!! Lightning
Lightning – Generally when the economy does well or the economic forecast is positive precious metals drop due to the belief the US dollar will be strong. When the economy is not good or the economic forecast is bad the belief is the US dollar will lose value and metals go up. This is overly simplistic but my 2 cents.
