Well, the idiot brigade has come to the rescue. Remember I was telling you about our big flag in town? The giant flag set on top of a small hill so that the pole touches the mile high mark ( it ain’t too hard as our elevation is 5100 feet ). Some damn fools got all butt hurt when it couldn’t be lowered when The Most Terrible Tragedy Of All Time When Our Fearless Public Servants
( Otherwise Known As Bloodsucking Leaches That Survive Off The Sweat Of Others ) Were Gunned Down In Arizona. The only person I thought was a lose were any civilian, minding their own business at the time. I’m SOOOOO friggin sorry if you are a taxpayer sodimizer, anti-Constitutionalist commie puke that was born at the wrong time. Previously you could loot and plunder at will, but just now enough malcontents are aware that the whole system is crashing and are striking back at those that lived off the system. No, I’m not saying that the particular judge killed and the particular representative wounded were themselves necessarily bad ( although if I had to guess I would say most likely they are/were evil whores
) but they did benefit from the institutionalized rape. And so made themselves fair targets. Tough titty said the kitty. Anyway, I noticed the flag gone for awhile and now it is back up. At a fraction of its old size. Now it just looks sad and pathetic. In the future they can lower it at half mast. Let’s hope it will be lowered a lot.*
I promised myself I would be good. After the tax refund fiasco I stopped spending all my extra cash and started putting it into savings. You’ll remember that I had used my tax refund for my car insurance, winter propane and my kids birthday/Christmas
cash gifts. Now I’ll have to start taking that out of my monthly budget instead. So I have to save double the amount to be ready for next years as well as pay for those coming up now. No big deal, I’m not starving or anything. I’m always ahead savings wise even when I’m freaking out ( I’m one of those types that tells you I don’t have any money when what I mean is I don’t have any to spare or my savings isn’t big enough- it discourages anyone from asking for a loan and I’m not trying to be dishonest, just forever panicky ). But I got the military surplus
catalog from Sportsman’s Guide yesterday and they had TWO pairs of winter snow boots
for $25. Okay, granted, they are only rated for zero degrees. They wouldn’t do you much good in Alaska ( apparently the French-these are French military surplus but new, never used- learned their lesson from Napoleon and won’t invade Russia again so they don’t need boots for really cold locations ). But I was thinking that even with my Sorrel’s, a pair of cotton socks and two pairs of wool socks over them my feet still get cold after an hour in temps above zero degrees. So how much worse can these boots be? They are waterproof rubber and have wool felt liners. They can’t be any different than the Sorrel’s. And only $18 each, brand new, after shipping ( I already ordered mine- I won’t tell you about these deals until I get mine in case you buy them all up ). I would strongly advise you to invest in these if you live in a cold clime. And, unlike the surplus Mickey Mouse boots
, they come in big sizes ( the Mickey’s come in large sizes, but at an increased cost- $70 each after shipping. Yes, they are much better boots, but not military surplus cheap boots ).http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/cb.aspx?a=766615

Rawles
today ( writing this on Tuesday ) mentioned the Mexican freeze and its effect on our produce prices. He advised buying your freeze dried veggies now, before the prices were raised as a result. That isn’t bad advice. Even if the freeze didn’t occur you still have to worry about shipping prices increasing due to the middle east turmoil rising oil prices. I know what he meant was that if you intend to buy this item you should hurry up. But my question is, why would you want to buy freeze dried produce? If your prep budget is small, this is a totally unnecessary item. I know Yuppies think they have all the time in the world to prep. If someone offered them freeze dried dumbass they would rush out to buy it if their false idol recommended it ( I don’t wish to be worshiped, but I insist that my perfect hair be recognized ). And while I’m not sure what freeze dried dumbass would look like I’m guessing that the product would be an empty can with a mirror glued to the interior. *
You don’t need to store vegetables. Root cellar
storage, sure. That is fresh produce. If you rely on canned, frozen or freeze dried vegetables
for your nutritional needs you are relying on an inferior product. You might as well just store vitamin pills. A big part of vegetables is the need for enzymes. Not just vitamin content. You need fresh. The processed vegetables you eat through the winter are an inferior product, but at least come spring you start eating the fresh stuff. Relying on processed year round is not a great idea. And all this on top of the price issue. Sprouts are one of natures most nutritious vegetables, one of the cheapest, require no garden, are year round and fresh “off the vine”. Store sprouting seeds
, not freeze dried veggies. Yuppie Scum Survivalist store these things as just another way of postponing their joining the inferior proletariat masses. They desperately cling to the good life involving all the unearned wealth oil can provide ( I don’t deny I also receive benefits from oil surplus, I just don’t think it will last much longer and I know I must transition away from it ). They can’t conceive of living like Third World peasants so they must be surrounded by the best of all things. No, a regenerated lump of green slime isn’t better, but it reminds them of their deli meal picked up from their SUV, eaten in front of their 55 inch plasma TV in their centrally heated McMansion so they think it is. *
Again with the saving you a ton of money. You are welcome.

Also the yuppie survivalist thinks they can just buy seeds from a online source and think they'll magically have enough food to feed them and their neighbors on that acre of land.
While I believe some freeze-dried/dehydrated foods should be in your pantry, it shouldn't be totally relied on. IF TSHTF, gardens will fail or not produce enough to store through winter that's where the dehydrated/freeze-dried veggies come into play - as a fill in. If one thinks ordering from a company is too much, get yourself a decent dehydrator and start dehydrating frozen veggies that are on sale and package them into mylar, vacuum sealers or canning jars NOW.

My 20 year-old sorels were leaving my feet cold -- even w/ proper socks. Rather than buying new boots, I just replaced the liners. Huge difference -- like they were new again. Guess the wool gets crushed-down during use and doesn't 'loft' properly over time. Might want to look into this.
To make SKS a pullbolt
See disassembled SKS
http://www.surplusrifle.com/sks/carbine/index.asp
Remove gas piston (part 4) from inside gas
tube (part 3).
Replace gas tube.
(If you do not replace gas tube, gas from gas
port can blow your eyes out.)
Make every shot count.
Ammo is limited.
One shot kills them dead.
Save ammo.
Kill the wounded enemy with a hammer or ax.
PS ALWAYS TURN KNUCKLES DOWN.
If knuckles up and you get a slamfire
the bolt handle will relocate your thumb
3 inches closer to your elbow.
Why would anyone who loves to read Rawles' site be panic buying anything? Oh yeah, the guy preaches panic. Of course, Jim here at the bison blog does that more than a bit too.
I consider panic buying of anything to be a really bad sign. It often ends in major credit card debt or some other dumbass circumstance, like having four rifles and no cleaning tools for them. Have a plan. Stick to it. Slow and steady wins the race.
That Night Train with an acetone shooter isn't helping your spelling, or your grammar, Oh Mighty Inflammable-Breathed One. The flag thing and your incoherence while discussing it only reinforces what I've always known - NV is the national repository of freeze-dried dumbasses. Yes, I'm talking about you.
If you want to leave CA to avoid the inbred People Of Wal-Mart )or COPS) types, DON'T go to AZ or NV, they are California's septic tank. You just become part of the backwash and probably belong there. Move to a state that at least has the remnants of a culture of work, not one that for the past 100 years has been a place to crawl off and die.
Yeah I know, the US is hopeless, most non-Amish places are going to be full of inbred teat-suckers and "leaches" as you call them. And the Amish are probably inundated that's in-un-dat-ed, it means flooded, as with water, with people wanting to learn from them. But at least try to find a place where some people believe in work as a way of life and are too busy working to mess around with huge flags. Don't be a modern-day displaced Aborigine hanging around, and living off of, the food handout locations!

Dang it, you should warn people.
"I’m not sure what freeze dried dumbass would look like I’m guessing that the product would be an empty can with a mirror glued to the interior."
I chocked, almost drowned the keyboard, and had to grab for the emergency inhaler.
But it was funny
Selene
Freeze dried dumbass. Fucking hilarious.
Thank you, Lord Bison, for a much needed laugh.
And to top it all off you are absolutely correct about the sprouts and not relying solely on processed foods.
Great post.
Dear Bison, what the hell is wrong with you? Have you ran out of Dulcolax and the built up internal pressure has caused you to spew forth this tirade of crap.
Why do you care? In your eyes society can't die to fast to suit you.So when something bad happens you delight in commenting on how wonderful it is for people whose motives you can only guess at are killed by a nut bag.
What does "let's hope it will get lowered a lot" mean? Are you sending out a minion to kill some poor innocent. Some weak minded, bison hair loving idiot might interpret that remark to be a cry for battle.
You mean a egotistical shit like you never realized you might have that kind of power.Excuse me Bison but your manifesto is showing. Fair targets? I will ask again, what the hell is wrong with you?
If you insist on this Anti-American hate mongering diatribe it is only a matter of time before the bison compound is surrounded by Homeland Security.
At least in Federal custody you'll be warm and have something to eat besides wheat pucks.Of course, with your luck they will consider your ass a domestic terrorist and put the jimmy in Cuba.
Think before you post!
I totally agree with the Grandly Coiffed One on his sprouts over freeze dried suggestion.
If you have spare cash _after_ getting your Barns(and shelter to keep the rain off your supplies), Bulgar(wheat any type of grain really), Beans(again any type), Bullets, THEN you pick up sprouts of non-grain variety and other non-hybrid seeds, FINALLY before buying 'Bullion' you might want to stock up on freeze dried protreins and veggies to bulk out your stores as a buy-and-forget thing to allow for a little luxury like variety in your diet...
You know, I had never considered sprouting as an alternative.
Thanks for putting that seed in my mind.
I don't own any freeze dried food, but have considered it for cooking without power and not sending up smoke signals advertising my location. Of course, on my budget it's not going to be happening. If I were to get a sudden increase in income I'd probably buy some, but it's definitely not worth sacrificing other things on my prep list that are much more important.
I cried when the country was attacked on 9-11.
I cried when folks died in Fort Hood Texas. 13 killed, 32 wounded.
I cried when the poor folks got shot down by a maniac in Tucson.
I cried for My country and I cried for my fellow Americans.
You ought to start moderating your own comments.
I can't in good conscience be a part of this hate mongering.
