A reader recently requested I elaborate on the comms equipment battery charging system I carry in my Ruck.

First let me say that the setup I use is not what I would prefer but it works. I would prefer an ultra light weight system that I could attach directly to my Elecraft KX3 and charge the batteries using its built-in battery charger. The radios built in charger requires 13.8 volts dc but I haven’t found a pack-able panel that supplies that voltage. Most backpack/camping panels supply 5 vdc. That would require 3 sets of panels connected in series to get the necessary voltage. So, what I’ve had to resort to is removing the batteries from whatever radio I’m using, and charging the batteries in a charger that’s connected to the solar panels.

My current setup consists of the XTAR VC4 Charger and the Renogy Solar 14 watt E-Flex Solar Power…

FORGING THE HERO

I am happy–delighted–ecstatic–to announce that I completed the final revisions and editing (WAY better editing on this one than the previous two) on the new book, this morning.

FORGING THE HERO: A Tribal Strategy for Building Resilient Communities for Surviving the Decline of Empire clocks in right at 200 pages. This is NOT Volume Three of The Reluctant Partisan. It is a completely different book, and in a many ways, far more personal as well as educational.

Waiting for the cover art to be done, but it should be going to the printers on Monday.

RICHMOND, Va. —Sounding a warning over proposed legislation that would bar the public from learning the identity of persons employed as law enforcement officers, The Rutherford Institute is cautioning the Virginia General Assembly against taking an unprecedented and unjustified step toward the creation of unaccountable secret police forces. The proposed legislation, Senate Bill No. 552, would classify the names of all police officers as “personnel records,” and exempt them from mandatory disclosure under Virginia’s freedom of information law.

“American citizens have a right to know when government agencies and government officials have engaged in wrongdoing,” said constitutional attorney John W. Whitehead, president of The Rutherford Institute and author ofBattlefield America: The War on the American People. “Whether those individuals occupy a public office or are employed by a law enforcement agency is immaterial. If a government employee has been charged with misconduct, it is the right of…

Something to Think About…

Posted: February 23, 2016 by gamegetterII in Uncategorized

Recently, a man decided to make a sandwich from scratch. He grew the vegetables, gathered salt from seawater, milked a cow, turned the milk into cheese, pickled a cucumber in a jar, ground his own flour from wheat to make the bread, collected his own honey, and personally killed a chicken for its meat. This month, he published the results of his endeavor in an enlightening video: making a sandwich entirely by himself cost him 6 months of his life and set him back $1,500.

(It should be noted that he used air transportation to get to the ocean to gather salt. If he had taken it upon himself to learn to build and fly a plane, then his endeavor would have proved impossible).

The inefficiency of making even something as humble as a sandwich by oneself, without the benefits of market exchange, is simply mind-boggling. There was a time when everyone grew their own food and made their own clothes.  It was a time of unimaginable poverty and labor without rest.

Say you wanted mayo on the sandwich-then you would have to raise the chickens,collect the eggs,separate the yolks from the whites,press the oil out of some soybeans,or olives that you grew,slowly whisk the oil into the egg yolks,add some vinegar that you made from some wine that you made from some grapes you picked,add a little bit of ground mustard from the seeds you collected from the mustard plants you grew…

Say you wanted some potato chips with that sandwich-after you grew the potatoes,and dug them up,washed them off,peeled and sliced thinly,fried them in some of the soybean oil you pressed out of the soybeans you grew,then let the excess oil drain off on some paper you made from some hemp you grew-or you let them drain on some linen you made from some thread you made from some flax you grew that you wove together on the loom you made…

As Things Become More Sporty…

Some things all of us should keep in mind,and yes,no one is going to help us,we have to help each other.
Hearts and minds matter,thinking things through matters.
Many of us-myself included could do more in our comments to try and help us all work together,and help each other far more often than most of us currently do.
Too much of “this sucks” not enough of “here’s how we solve this.”
