Essential Skills: Adjusting for Magnetic Declination
Posted: December 19, 2014 by gamegetterII in UncategorizedGood info-read and learn this stuff now-while you have the time to do so.
An important aspect of using a topo map is the fact that you can pin-point a location on the earth, transpose that location onto the corresponding map with fair precision and then communicate that location to others. This allows you to locate and share items such as link-up points, caches, targets, en route rally points, etc. The most efficient method is the grid reference system.
I won’t go into a detailed topo map discussion here, Max Velocity’s already done that on his site with an excellent primer. He explains how to locate a point on any 1/25,000 OR 1/50,000 topo map using the Military Grid Reference System (GMRS). If you are attending his course he has written that this is the map system he will use. He goes on to write that you can buy any USGS topo map with the GMRS grids pre-printed on your personalized map at mytopo.com…

I have an old Silva compass,made before they were made in China,along with a newer Silva starter made in Indonesia that I carry in my hunting pack when I’m hunting in Ohio-it works fine for that,as anywhere we hunt is not all that large of a tract of land.
Out west I use a Suunto A-30.
These get me where I need to go for hunting purposes.
Never learned to us lensatic,as never had a reason to-the starter compasses are fine for what I’m doing.
I am going to take a land nav class to learn the lensatic type in the near future.
Looking at the Suunto site-I’ll probably go with one of the MC 2 360’s.
I’ve been asked by several readers which compass I use and why I chose it. My primary compass is the Suunto MC-2, my alternate compass is a Suunto A-10 and the compass in my survival kit is a little Brunton Globe. While in the Army we were trained to use the standard military lensatic compass but, during the deployments during GWOT, some SF teams were issued a version of the Suunto MC-2 with special tritium illuminated parts that most of us found to be superior to the lensatic.
Like weapons, not all compasses are of the same caliber and no one compass excels for all uses. Some are toys, some are junk and some are overkill, so depending on the terrain you are operating in and what you are doing at the time, they can get you lost and embarrassed or worse, lost and dead. If I had to bet…

Whiny Millennial Whining Crybaby Whines About Being Called Whiny
Posted: December 17, 2014 by gamegetterII in UncategorizedWhile brave men and women are fighting and dying, whiny, coddled, crybaby millennial college students here at home are demanding that their law exams be postponed because they just can’t deal with the emotional distress of not being granted the lynching in Ferguson that they’d set their tiny little minds on. It’s just too much to handle for the special little snowflakes, don’t you see?
One professor at Oberlin, of all places, had a delightful answer to the pleading, sniveling little turds trying to get out of taking their exams on time.
But what made His Majesty laugh out really loud was this pathetic, spineless, mewling, incoherent blather penned by a spoiled brat at Haaah-Vuhd. (That link also shamelessly stolen from Ace).
Over the last week, much has been said about law students’ petitioning for exam extensions in light of the circumstances surrounding the deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner at the hands of police officers.
Much, but not nearly enough. But that will surely change if you keep it up, you petulant little unmanned brat.
Students at Harvard Law School, Columbia Law School, Georgetown University Law Center and several other schools requested that their administrations allow extensions on final exams for students who have been confronting the aftermath of the recent failed grand jury indictments of the officers who killed the unarmed black men.
Brown was armed quite credibly with his fist and his body mass, using the former repeatedly against the officer’s face while trying to take his sidearm away. But we’re sure he was only wanting to put the firearm in a safe place so nobody would get hurt. Guns are dangerous, don’t you know?
If you don’t consider a couple of hundred pounds of muscle backing up two angry fists “armed”, then you’re more than welcome to contact us for a demonstration. Provided you sign a waiver first, that is.
In response, opponents of exam extensions have declared that to grant these requests would be a disservice to the students.
It would be, but considering how worthless you millennial invertebrates have already proven yourselves to be, we much doubt that more damage can be done to you than what has already been so thoroughly achieved by your sorry excuses for “parents” and their utter failure to provide you with anything that might be mistaken for parenting.
Law students, they argue, must learn how to engage critically with the law in the face of intense adversity.
Or, in the case of your kind, any adversity at all, a concept wholly foreign to you.
Drawing comparisons to events surrounding the Civil Rights Movement and other times of intense turmoil, these opponents portray today’s law students as coddled millennials using traumatic events as an excuse for their inability to focus on a three-hour exam.
That, we believe, is what is commonly known as “an accurate description of the suspect”, a term you should be familiar with.
In essence, law students are being told to grow up and learn how to focus amidst stress and anxiety—like “real” lawyers must do.
Real lawyers out in the real world doing actual lawyering, as opposed to spoiled shitless, entitled wimps like yourself doing mainly keg stands and panty raids.
Speaking as one of those law students, I can say that this response is misguided: Our request for exam extensions is not being made from a position of weakness, but rather from one of strength and critical awareness.
Weakness is strength, ignorance is knowledge, cowardice is courage. You’ve memorized your Orwell creditably, we must say. It’s just that his point flew over your pointed head entirely, but that should hardly come as a surprise to anybody.
Although over the last few weeks many law students have experienced moments of total despair, minutes of inconsolable tears and hours of utter confusion, many of these same students have also spent days in action—days of protesting, of organizing meetings, of drafting emails and letters, and of starting conversations long overdue.
Despair, tears and confusion? What the hell have you been doing? Facing the French charge at Agincourt? Staring down a German Panzer Division? Oh, you’ve been wasting your study time running around in the streets waving signs and holding meetings, not to mention that most dreadfully demanding and heartbreaking chore: writing emails and letters”

13 Gay Bakeries Refuse to Bake Cake for Heterosexual Christian Man
Posted: December 17, 2014 by gamegetterII in Uncategorizedh/t The Grey Enigma
“The left is all about coexistence and acceptance until the ball lands in their court. You may recall that a judge named Tonya Parker recently made news because she is refusing to perform heterosexual marriages.
More liberal hypocrisy.
Exposing this double-standard in action, Theodore Shoebat decided to prove a point recently. He actually used an Alinsky tactic against the leftists, though I am not sure if that was his intent. He attempted to make the left live up to its own set of rules.
Shoebat called 13 bakers asking each to bake a cake for him. He was denied 13 times.”

Excellent resources,be sure to check out all the extra sources in the comments at Weapons Man’s place.
The crowd was estimated at 1,000-1,500…
That’s beyond pathetic. This is the reason the anti-gun zealots,and groups like Mom’s Demand Action are able to get draconian “gun control” laws like I-594 passed.
Taking the upper end of the estimated crowd size-1,500 people-that’s the number of people who care enough about their Constitutional rights out of the 6.971 million residents of the state.
The effect of that crowd is the equivalent of pissing in the ocean.
What Part of Shall Not Be Infringed Do You Not Understand?
Posted: December 13, 2014 by gamegetterII in UncategorizedThe UN’s Arms Trade Treaty which covers everything from small arms to battle tanks, combat aircraft and warships – will enter into force on 24 December 2014, Christmas Eve. This treaty has not been ratified by our Congress but has the support of our Secretary of State, John Kerry who signed it and our President, who without expressly mentioning the treaty, said in a speech at the UN in September that all nations “must meet our responsibility to observe and enforce international norms.” The problem with that statement and this treaty is that we the people aren’t in control of what those ‘international norms’ are and as we have seen time and time again, those international norms might be detrimental to our country.
Many preppers and 2nd Amendment proponents believe that the Arms Trade Treaty will first lead to registration of all firearms…
