Welcome back to another episode of Let's Go Hunter, reminding you that farting in the campfire causes forest fires.
Tonight, my consolve is gone, Smith.
Dave Packard, who went to the city, Sam Alexander quitting my old gang, and here with a pointy stick, I'm Vince H.
Around the campfire tonight, we are starting a three-wheeler gang.
Cool.
Because dirt bikes were too cool.
And quads are too safe.
Right.
It got to have that right balance of, you know, dangerous and threatening and loud, rumbly noises.
You need all of the traction and no-
Oh, either illegal stability.
Dave has seen me walk.
And now I'm on a three-wheeler.
Allegedly.
But for those that have not seen my walk.
So imagine Jack Sparrow running across the beach with a jar of dirt.
Yeah, all we need to add to that is a vehicle with so much torque and so little front and
weight that it's basically a human mousetrap.
I think I have told, I think I have told this before.
But we think we had a neighbor who sold a three-wheeler to the guys across the street
to their kid and made the parents sign a waiver saying he wasn't responsible,
which pissed the parents off because they were like, and then within a week,
yeah, that kid flipped it and broke his arm.
Oh, I forget what it was for.
I think it was for my brother's confirmation.
And so everybody was up at our house for that.
And I remember my dad and my granddad disappeared for like three hours.
And they came back with a three-wheeler in the back of the truck.
And my mother was livid, just livid.
And granddad's out there having a good time.
He's driving around the pasture.
I got to drive it.
That thing may be once.
You had to hotwire it every time, first of all.
But it's a fair.
Yeah.
Oh, my mother was so mad.
Just so mad that they went and bought that without consulting her or anything like that.
And they just show up with it, you know, to show me and my brother.
And free men don't ask permission.
Yeah.
Kind of got a point.
Well, we didn't have any hills around our house.
So it's not like the thing's going to tip over, you know.
Until you corner it too hard.
Just the tip over.
Oh, that's like, like that fucking episode of Top Gear,
where he's driving the Robin Reliant wherever the hill it's called.
And he tips it, he opens the door, pushes himself up.
That's a nice feature there.
Thanks a bit of much.
Questions.
As a continuation question from another podcast.
I don't have the energy in me to launch into this tirade again.
So I'm just going to and also.
I know a guy who is bicarious.
It's okay to like 40 Smith and Western.
How can we help free Mike from the sin of homosexuality?
Look, you first have to acknowledge that it is a sin and that the,
you have to listen to the gospel of the one, the savior John Moses browning.
And accept that it's a culmination of both of your previous shows.
This is amazing.
And only a select few people will know what the fuck we're talking about.
You have to accept the, the 45 as, as your savior.
Or the 1911, you can pick one.
Or the other, it's fine.
You can have a 45 or the 1911 or a 1911 chambered in anything but 40 Smith and Western.
Oh, I see this is going all right.
I don't like it.
So, you know, you, you can have, because the 1911 was originally chambered for.
What was it?
38 auto.
Third.
Something 38 auto-esque.
It was designed around a 35 caliber semi auto cartridge.
Well, I know he was working with something similar to that with the models leading up to the 1911.
Right.
And then the, the government wanted that the 45 in it.
So he's like, okay, I put the 45 in it.
That's not it was designed.
You know, I mean, I like the 1911, 1911, cool, two world wars, all that shit.
Part of me wants to go back in time and sabotage the 1911 so that we get a 45 Luger.
A 45 ACP Luger did go through, at least some stages of Army trials back then.
That's okay.
Yep.
You mean?
Right.
To call me my America.
It's German.
It doesn't have anything to do with communists.
Oh, sorry.
You tried to ask me.
Yeah, I'm really, I'm kind of into a gun that presents every time it ejects around.
Like, I'm really like, I'd like that.
I'm also thinking, you know, with today's, you know, today's modern optics.
Like, where the fuck do you mount an optic to a Luger?
Like, when you, every time you fire, your optic goes, we, we, yeah.
And then it comes back down on target and you're good to go.
The 1911 went through its trials as 45 ACP.
According to Wikipedia, we all know how reliable that is.
Oh, I'll go change it.
Yeah, Vince, you should change that too.
Or would a modernized Luger have a pick rail section like on the barrel on the top?
So your toggle lock in the back still going, whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop, your optics stays stable.
I like my way better with the optic going, whoop.
Like, how did you, how did you turn a pistol into a bullpup?
I'm, I'm really.
The Germans are so weird.
If you put a laser on the bottom, that's how you am.
Like under the barrel, like, no, on the bottom, like point straight down.
It's on your magazine.
Your magazines are 500 dollars a piece, but it's fine.
It's so fine.
Oh, then you, oh, I just lost my train of thought.
I had something else going on with this too.
Do you want to hear what my, my three year old did to me the other day?
Yeah, did, did they also draw a picture of you in your underwear?
You know, that'll happen someday.
Well, it gets hot.
No, so, so my wife took three of the kids with her and they went to like a play day with
the other kids from church.
And so I just went home and I had my oldest with me and my third boy.
And he fell asleep in the van on the way home.
And so I just kind of left in there, unbuckleed him, left the door open so he could get out whenever he wanted.
And I started cleaning up stuff at the yard, but you know, I'd add a rifle in the car so I took it inside
and just laid it on my bed.
Well, a little while later, three year old wakes up, starts wandering around.
And then I'm still clean up and I asked my oldest like, hey, where'd your brother go?
And he's like, oh, he's inside watching Paw Patrol.
I'm like, okay.
And then suddenly like alarm start blaring in my head.
Oh, God.
I just left, I just threw the gun on the bed and he will go wherever he wants in that house.
So I go inside and I'm like, where are you?
And I immediately go to my room.
Every light on the way there is turned on.
So like, okay, he's been here.
Like I'm just following the trail through the woods.
And I go in there like, okay, the gun's just there.
But now wait, where is he?
And I go into my bathroom and I find that he has popped a squat in my shower.
And just dropped an absolute log in the shower.
Waffle stop.
And he's in there trying to try to pull his pants up and like, no, no, no, no.
Like, let me clean you.
And then I had to, I had to pick up a turd out of the shower and throw it.
Daddy's going to take you what a waffle stop is.
Dude, we were.
You know, sometimes you can wash it down the drain.
This one, we were not waffle stomping that one.
Not that one.
That one was turned into waffle fries.
Some people use as a door stop right now.
Hot, hot, hot, hot.
Like that came out of you.
I had been uncomfortable too.
Um, yeah.
So that was most worried for me.
Two, uh, two duskies comment.
Yes.
I would say that's probably the best place to drop a log.
That if not in the shitter.
Shitter Jason.
But I just.
It could have been in the kitchen.
It would have been.
Yeah, or all the front porch like he did earlier today.
The front porch.
He just.
That was.
That was Sunday when he did the first one.
This one.
He for some reason he's decided he doesn't want to go in the toilet or in his little potty chair.
So now he's.
It's either outside.
He'll sneak outside and.
I mean.
It could be worse.
Yeah.
Or he.
And it's my shower.
It's not the kids shower.
It's my shower that he wants to know.
You don't.
Shit in your own shower.
I mean, yeah, that's just.
That's just gross.
Sweet.
That's.
That's where you bathe.
You don't want to say.
Go potty.
And then try to go to my.
My.
My bathroom.
Like no, no, you go to your bathroom.
Like he learns from it and takes the drain off.
And just like, whoop straight down the drain.
Do you know how fucking mad I'd be.
It was one of my fucking.
Hey dudes one day.
And there's just a third in my.
Hey dude.
My.
My.
My.
Come here.
Queer.
Just fucking.
Oh, gonna be one of those days.
Oh, man.
Yeah.
Well, I sympathize.
I've got one doing about the same thing.
But he is so far.
It's just in his pants.
Not in the middle of the shower.
Yeah.
This one.
When my first one we've had that's like adventure poops.
My youngest.
We've all done that.
When, uh, when he was littler a few years ago, he was scared of the toilet.
So he'd either hold it.
Or he'd scream and cry if we flushed it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It was like, um, what?
Bro, it's just.
So yeah, every time when we finally got him to use the toilet, it was like, okay.
You got to go flush.
He's like, it's scary because every time he thinks it's going to flood the house.
I'm like, it's not.
It goes up to here and goes up down and disappears.
And then there's that one time that he watched the clog.
And yeah, that turned his world inside out.
I knew it coming back.
Turn the toilet out too.
Yeah.
It's, it's way better now.
But at least we have now convinced him it's like, if you close the toilet lid, you don't
have to.
Now you don't have to.
And then flush it.
Just run.
That's all you got to do.
It can't get you into that.
I'll take care of it.
But it's okay.
It's not going to flood our house.
My daughter, toilets were never a scary thing for her, but vault toilets in like campgrounds
and there's that vault toilet between here and for those that don't know what a vault toilet
is, it is a hole above a septic tank that has a building around it.
Oh, shit.
I thought it was on a bank.
So, Dave, you know the, you know, the stop over at the top of the pass between here and
like, airplay.
Yeah.
Oh, Wilkerson.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, we're on our way back from Breckenridge or something like it.
I don't remember where, but my daughter is like two years old and she has to pee.
So, we stopped there and we go into the vault toilet and they were at the same time.
They were cleaning it out from the bottom, which was like 20 feet down, but they were just like
hosing an offer.
I don't know.
You're like quick time.
You're like quick time.
There are no summits in there.
They're hosing off the rocks that everything falls onto, which I didn't.
Regardless, this action is creating a wind tunnel that's coming straight up out the toilet.
And so she goes to sit on it and it's just blowing right up her high knee.
And I'm like, yeah, you know, I would be kind of hesitant on those two.
And no matter what we did, we could, we took her out into the woods to try for a bush.
We like, she just wasn't having it.
And we knew she had to pee and like, didn't know what to do.
And then finally, your parents did this where they live in their camper for months on end and they attend the site.
You know what I'm talking about?
Camp post.
Yeah, camp post.
The camp post for that particular place took huge pity on us.
And she comes over and she's like, would she like to use our RV?
And we were like, yes, please.
And so we we hiked up there and she let Ellie use the potty in the RV and it was probably saved her life, not literally, but she was good.
Exploded.
Yeah, we were there for an hour, dude, trying to get her to pee.
And she just wasn't having it.
So it took her.
I mean, we go camping all the time.
There's fault toilets all over the place where we go camping.
And so she got used to them.
But that was the first time she'd ever even seen one.
And frankly, her hesitation after that with all the campsites doesn't really surprise me.
Given that was her first experience with one.
I mean, it's like when you got to sit down and use the old fucking port of shitter that I construction site.
But it's fucking dead of winter.
I would rather it be dead of winter than dead of summer in a port of shitter, dude.
It's equally miserable because there's always a breeze coming in there and your balls just go.
But in the summer in the summer, it's like 140 in the air.
I've done both.
I've done both many, many times now over the past almost 20 years.
They are different kinds of misery.
Great.
I will take winter over summer.
I'll give you that.
But I have been in some that it's just like I'm going to I'm going to stick to this fucking seat.
And it'll be the end of me.
Okay.
So I'm trying to make this sound like a one up.
I don't know what it is about Korean port of shitters, but they are so terrible.
There's so much worse smelling.
There was a time I had to be.
It must be the worst.
I first time I had I was think I was probably 20, but it was the day before 4th of July.
I had to go real bad.
And the construction site was fairly well empty because, you know, I had must have gone a mile up and down all these roads.
And somebody had gone through and stolen all the damn toilet paper.
Out of every out of every freaking port of potty, all the toilet paper was gone.
I'm not exaggerating.
I've hit like 15 of them before I found one that had like I must have I must have run up and down that whole damn neighborhood.
Yes.
Shit tickets.
And they were all gone.
And that's where I learned to get a bring around.
It's better that way anyway.
A.R.J. says, Port of Shitter, Texas.
Summer.
Terrible.
Yeah.
Country boy.
In Mexico.
Summer.
Port of Shitter.
Worse.
That construction site.
That is a hundred miles from anything.
And I had to clean those.
When I showed up, they were both face down.
A wind had blown them.
And I was like, awesome.
Right after we moved.
Back up.
I'm like, oh, yeah.
That's this stuff.
Right after we moved into this house, one across.
So they were still working on the houses across the street.
Yep, sure enough.
Right across the street from us.
One of them blew over one day.
I was like, hmm.
It's not my job.
Shit.
You ever seen that video on Instagram with the shit NATO?
Just the tornado coming and picking up the Port of Shitter.
And just like, it's gone.
Just leaves.
And then it lands on the island for Castaway.
It lands on Epstein's Island.
No, Tom Hanks.
Well, he was there too.
Sort of.
No.
Same island.
That's a joke.
Please don't sue me.
Except he was.
We all know it.
That's an interesting beer.
It's not a keystone.
It is an outlaw light.
What does it even mean?
LaHonda, America.
Yeah.
When you said you went to the city, I'm thinking you went to LaHonda.
Outlaw light.
At Lamar.
No.
No.
No.
I went to the Springs.
Specifically interquest.
Outlaw light.
It's in that he's not robbing banks.
Just seven or elevens.
It'd be like one of those buy here, pay here, car dealerships.
Almost.
Outlaw light.
Outlaw light.
They got a pretty slick 1996 F-150.
And you know that they take ash for it.
Like one of those places.
Fair.
But anyway, yeah, went to the city.
Hate it every minute of it.
You can keep your fucking traffic.
Yeah.
Yeah, the traffic.
The shitty part.
Dude, the shitty part is Springs traffic is nothing compared to Denver.
I know.
And that's why I was telling my kids.
Because I took my kids and I went and saw my elementary school, my junior high middle school,
and then my high school.
And we stopped at my junior high.
And they're like, why are there so many buzzes?
And I'm like, because that's all the kids.
You realize there are thousands of children that go here, right?
My daughter's in the back seat and she's counting.
And she's like, when did she?
And then she hits like 16.
And she's like, holy shit.
Yeah.
I've seen this many buzzes before.
What high school did you go to?
Louis Palmer.
Okay.
Yeah.
It's a fancy boy.
When up there, we stayed right across the street from shields.
So my, my kids got bit by the shields bug.
That'll, that'll fucking get them.
That whole place is designed to addict children.
And we ran this many expensive.
Yeah.
They did.
And they got to the top where they stopped to let other people on like on the bottom,
completely opposite of them.
Yeah.
My daughter was like, oh, my God.
I can't fucking move.
I can't move.
I can't move.
Then they were up there for a while.
I was hilarious.
I very much dislike Ferris wheels because they stop you at the top and you're supposed
to look around and see stuff.
But it's kind of hard to see the size inside of fucking ground.
I'd say it's hard.
It's hard to see the sites inside of a freaking building.
When you don't understand that it's just to see things and you want it to go.
Woo!
Yeah.
It's pretty disappointing.
I think it would be better if it went woo because then you wouldn't have time to think about
all the various ways that it could possibly collapse and drop you from this very tall height.
I mean, if you survived, you know how much you could sue shields.
Yeah, but that's the if.
Have you seen that Ferris wheel?
You ain't surviving shit.
That thing's rickety as fuck.
I'm sure when you buy a ticket, it says in their claws that they are not responsible for
accidents.
I bet we could find a possibility away for a dollar.
Pain in English.
Frank Azar, the strong arm.
He'd find a way.
Been hurt at shields?
Call Frank Azar.
That dude has, so Frank Azar is an ambulance chaser that started off in the springs.
He has fucking billboards up in Wyoming now.
No shit.
Yep.
I was like, hey, I know that guy.
Best ambulance chaser billboard I ever saw was down in Lubbock because it's just the
guy's face, his number, and it says, you know what I do.
It's like, son of a bitch, yes, I do know exactly what you do.
And I'm going to take your number down.
And Frank Azar is one of those, like, you've been hitting a car wreck, call me, grew
up with those commercials, just like Rocky's autos, and the Shane Company.
The Shane Company.
The Shane Company.
Yeah, the Shane Company.
I bought my, yeah, this is, if you don't, if you're not from anywhere around Colorado
Springs, like poor Vince, this is the most boring conversation ever.
No, I tuned out.
Yeah.
But I bought my wife's engagement ring from the fucking Shane Company because I'd heard
those damn commercials my entire life, I was like, all right, I'm going to go there.
One half my lease off a rapper, who rode on Emporia Street.
Yeah.
Yep.
Anyway, I did, uh, I did make a personal purchase online at Shaneco.com.
That was later though, a personal purchase.
What did you personally purchase?
Is it a lightsaber?
It may as well be.
So, two episodes from now, we're going to count how many stitches you get off that thing.
Absolutely not.
Just a little, I spent an entire $35 on this thing, and it's no poop knife, but little smith
and wasn't assisted open.
It was a wood, and it has some engraving on it.
So it looks like kind of fancy, and I'm like, oh, I'm going to class myself up a little
bit.
But yeah.
I like it.
Yeah.
Pretty, pretty slick.
It is.
I like it.
It's pretty nice.
You might even say it's sharp.
I am jealous of everybody that hasn't met you.
Yeah.
When we were hanging out, Angel told me that I was the most awkward person she'd ever
met.
So I have that.
And now I have, I'm jealous of all the people who have not met you.
So yeah, did, uh, did city things, emotion, damage, emotion, no damage, emotion, no, I'm
sorry.
I was way louder than I thought it was going to be.
Yeah.
You were getting, you were getting in character.
Yeah, it was.
But I'm not the patient.
A.R. Drew.
Uh, A.R. Drew in the chat says he's only met Mike once for a short time before he was
led to the hot tub by Dooley.
Dooley's prettier than you.
Dooley was talking about the people.
Dooley also needs less consent.
I mean, it's Dooley.
Consent is implied.
Hey, Dave, you know why you're going to the hot tub?
Yes.
Yes, yes.
That's a bigger than you.
I have to open the door to actually get this.
There's too much light in Vince's room right now.
I don't like it.
My go.
A spear.
It is quite a fairer.
That the cold steel, uh, a board spear?
It is.
It is a cold steel board spear.
And I got a six foot pine shaft for it at home depot a day.
So so pine's not going to cut it.
Go get you some oak.
It's so fucking cool.
Or at least.
Yeah.
So well with the pine.
And the oak ones, the oak ones, they weren't one solid piece.
They were like glued together.
Oh, that's lame.
Gay.
Tongue and groove.
Spear.
So.
Yeah.
You're not going to be able to sustain defending a charge against heavy, heavy cavalry
with pine.
It will snap in the horse.
So you're going to need to find something stiffer.
Sir.
It will throw nice.
So you're.
Actually.
Lay this thing ever.
You just threw your weapon away.
And now they get to kill you at will.
Well, it's just admitted he's a spear checker.
That's true.
I've just admitted it.
Live.
Don't worry guys.
We're taking it back.
Um.
No.
So I had a.
I had a.
A bit of a tism moment because I volunteered.
So our church doesn't do an Easter egg hunt.
We do what's called a resurrection egg hunt where you go.
Have the kids go around and you give them a little bit of the Easter story.
As they go and you give them a little egg with a little trinket inside of it.
And I volunteered to help with that.
And like, okay, you're going to be doing the part about the.
The Roman soldier with the spear.
I got the cross and was like.
Okay, but I'm not using this dinky little toy spear.
I'm not, I'm not doing that.
So I was like, okay, this is an excuse for me to make a spear.
And then I got a little bit further into it like, you know what?
I'm going to do, I'm going to dress up like a Roman soldier.
So there's actually, I didn't want to wear it because it's kind of greasy,
but it's kind of like a chain mail out there.
So I, that was the video I sent you all earlier.
I bought chain mail.
So you got you some lorca hamata.
I don't know what that means.
That would be so.
All right.
Now you're going to suffer mitisms briefly.
So you know when you watch gladiator and there were on the segmented plates.
Yeah.
That was actually not the most common armor in the first and second during the height of the imperial period.
But that is called lorca segmentata.
Uh-huh.
Because it's in segments.
But lorca hamata is chain mail, which is by far the most common armor of the Roman legions,
at least through the imperial period.
Okay.
Yeah.
I get it then.
I looked at the segmented armor and for some reason I thought, you know what?
I'm just going to make like some fake armor out of cardboard.
And then I saw that like, okay, mostly they wore chain mail.
I am not making fake chain mail.
So I bought chain mail.
And then there's lorca squamata, which was scales.
But that's very like that.
Yeah.
Anyway.
All right.
Now you know way too much.
Yep.
More than I wanted.
Yeah.
That was my knife story.
Very.
I need to be knife, a mic right now and say, oh, that's a nice, that's a knife story.
That's a knife story.
Yeah.
I'm going to play with this though, because I want to, I want to poke things.
I'm going to say, is it legal to take deer with a spear?
See, someone's already asked me that and I need to find out because you need to be, you need a tree to hand,
or you just need to run real fast.
Well, I thought of like, you know, if I just cover myself in some webbing, some netting on the ground,
you know, right next to the game trail, I can just kind of.
And then they'll be like, oh, what is that?
And then die.
I've got it.
Spear fishing rig.
For deer.
That frickin' bore spear is going to cut the fish in half.
But for deer alligator gar.
Oh, sorry.
I mean, you like what this is saying.
But you anchor, you anchor the spear to a tree via a, a leader of some sort, and just stabby.
And then let it go.
And then all of a sudden you have a domesticated deer that will soon.
Dr. Scary Guy didn't Romans wear leather armor.
I'm going to, oh, I'll beat you up one day.
Leather armor is not a fucking thing.
That is Hollywood cheap shit.
Same with any kind of armor that has studs on it.
Studded armor is not a thing.
If you see a piece of historical armor or a historical, you know, like a auto tapestry,
or in a manuscript illumination that looks like studs, it's actually a brigandine,
which is a, oh, wow.
Which is essentially a coat that has metal plates on the inside of it.
So the little studs you see are the rivets holding the plates to the inside of the linen,
and we're moving on.
Mike, all we can do is hear you, and it's disturbing.
There we go.
My bad.
It was just.
Yeah, you were.
I was just listening to this.
It was good.
Chaps because he thought we were talking about bikers.
Like the studs not on the armor.
It's in it.
That's actually pretty good.
I was not clever enough to think of that.
But no, that spear would probably work for alligator gar.
Dude, that's beer.
That's, it's a really cool spear, dude.
How sharp is it?
That's pretty sharp.
Yeah, cold.
Cold steel stuff usually comes fairly sharp.
Yeah, you said that like you knew what you were talking about,
and I was like, he's just saying words in orders that I haven't heard before.
Who me?
Yeah, you.
Oh, no, I know exactly what that spear looks like,
because I've wanted to buy one many times over the past.
No, I'm sure you know.
I have an excuse.
I don't know this stuff is what I'm saying.
Like there's a bunch of different types of steels and whatnot that, anyway.
Well, it's not a type of steel.
Cold steel is the brand.
It's a company called Cold Steel.
Oh, Mike didn't know that.
No, he didn't.
He had no fucking idea.
You didn't know Cold Steel was the thing?
No.
The dirt.
Oh, okay.
I've never heard of them.
Yeah, they make a lot.
They are an edge-dweapon guy.
They are the PSA of knives and other bladed things.
Oh, okay.
I would.
Yeah.
Except it would be that way if there was an okay company that made ARs,
but they made them in China.
Yeah, but it's the closest analog I could think of.
I don't even know.
That makes sense to me, though.
Close enough.
Whatever.
I've had like a, was a GI Tanto knife of theirs that's been riding my truck now for probably
15 years.
Oh, is it the throwing knife?
No, it's just a, it's, it's the GI Tanto.
So it's just a frickin solid, frickin steel full tank with two plastic grips on either side.
And it's a knife.
I got the drop point throwing knife when I was 16.
I actually killed a tree by practicing throwing that knife so much that I killed.
I killed a alive oak that was 18 inches wide.
You need a job, sir.
Well, I didn't need a job.
No, but you do need to use the spear on a deer.
I need to find out.
You could get them close enough.
Probably.
And how far could you tuck that thing, like, legitimately, how far?
20, 30 yards at least?
Probably, probably not accurately.
I would say, I have, having not tried, I guess, 10 yards accurately.
But I've actually had deer wander in front of my stand behind the house at like five.
Shot one at five.
The problem is this is a lot of motion and they're going to be, they're not just going
to stay there and let you do all that.
That's why I'm thinking like, okay, I know they're walking right over here and so I can
just lay on the ground underneath the leaf netting and just go, and steady, steady work.
Or you get 11 more of them and you dig a big hole.
Yeah.
Go on.
Like, we're all following that.
Go on.
Well, if you're going to follow, you're going to fall in the hole too, but you just, oh,
no.
Stebby.
Stebby and hole.
Sit a gut in yourself, I'll peel them.
Which one is that?
That's the throwing javelin with the long, thin iron shank in the front.
I thought about that.
I really did actually.
That's a little less actually practical though.
It's less practical.
It's actually more accurate though.
Oh, it's definitely more accurate because that's way more accurate.
I saw that in life, but I really want the bore spear and at this point, it's just a
spear.
That's the important part.
What's really fucking cool.
So you guys know what lawn darts are?
Yeah.
Okay.
So you know what the original lawn dart was the plumbata, which was a lead weighted throwing
dart that was used in the late imperial period through into the business, like, like,
through the, so late imperial, but whatever.
But it's basically a Roman steel tipped, lead weighted lawn dart.
That's what they, once they dropped using throwing javelins like the peel them, they went
over the darts because you can carry more of them and you just, oh, here they come.
Let me start chucking on that people like, oh, I do, I believe I've seen these in the
Roman history.
So they look like darts, but they have a ball on the other end.
And when they hit that ball was both, yeah, well, I mean, yeah, that they're just a lead weighted
dart.
I miss the real lawn darts, like the ones that were all pointy and stuff.
The ones they never should have sold to the general American public.
No, the general American public should just not be shielded.
And if you kill yourself with a lawn dart, you're on your own.
I mean, at the same time, we used to be a proper country and we could hand-bulled toys
like that.
And now we're too stupid for that.
Now they're foam covered and lay weighted on the end.
So typical, yeah, typical, you can't even eat them at somebody and cause problems like typical
fucking US government.
But we're over here banning our citizens from voting lawn darts while we drop fleshets
all over Vietnam, because everything's for our safety.
And only there allowed to own spiky things, no lawn darts, no three wheelers, no Roman
candles.
I mean, you still buy them, but yeah, it's not the same.
No M80s.
Granted, my dad's the type of person that got M80s banned because they used to run around
as kids putting them in mailboxes.
Oh, yeah.
That was bad.
Yeah, don't, don't mess with the postal service.
Don't get you.
They're going to go postal.
Also, maybe we've people's mail boxes, the fuck alone, because like it was at a simpler
time, sir.
Well, I'm a real man, right?
And I like window of a pick up.
Explosives is a bit move.
Like there's a, there's actually a pretty decent, often coach or movie called the butterfly
effect that makes a pretty good example of why we don't put explosives and people's
mail boxes, because of the baby.
Yes.
Yeah, I've seen that.
Poor his hand.
It's, it is.
It's a really sad movie.
I've never seen good, but it's, can we buy a scene?
The old man who have filled a, a decoy mailbox with concrete.
Oh, yeah, put it on each side of their mailbox for the mailbox smashers.
Yep.
You know, when you hit a baseball wrong and just the whole bat just like vibrates.
I almost electrocute you.
Like one of those, you know, I don't know.
So like every time I've had social media, social media has ruined.
Like kids, you don't see smashed mailboxes anymore.
No, they're just bullying each other into suicide.
Well, no, they've turned, they've turned all of our mailboxes into fucking communal mailboxes.
Like we have, we get you little slot.
Oh, yeah.
I don't even get a real box with a trash can.
Like look, some of y'all have never hit a concrete mailbox full swing doing 45.
And it shows.
Boeing ball, they're the Boeing ball.
So anyway, uh, fuck the springs.
I know.
That's what guns likes the springs.
I hate it because of your fucking traffic.
And I don't, I don't blame you.
There's probably three people and they just had about it.
We ended up leaving early because they were forecasting some pretty wicked weather.
Like, yep, 70, 80 mile an hour winds.
And I'm like, uh,
better, better not stay up here for that because I don't want to drive home in it.
So we left early hotel refunded us aren't the, the night that we were supposed to stay.
And which was that is very nice of them indeed.
And, uh, got home and then walked out this morning and looked at my pick up and I will show you this.
I have a tune problem.
Was he trying to get into your gas tank?
No, I, these little prints are all over by fucking pick up a new one.
one. I want to feel it.
I can get me at like this is the good
side. Like this is the TV side, the
radio side is actually scratched.
So what a little prick. What does he
have against your your the what is
there's something in it that he
wants? I have no idea. There's one
house 10 miles around and the raccoon
shows up around here to just just
fuck Dave's truck for some reason.
So I have a game camera setup or I
will hear pretty quick. And I'm
going to see when the little bastard
is round that way I can shoe him
from the premises because they're
not in season. But that brings me
to my next point. And I got a news
go season. It's Colorado. We have
a season for everything. And this
is the excite LTV 5 to 15 night
vision. Holy shit. Wait, where'd you
get that? That fucking set up is
longer than some guns I own. It's
taller than some. Wait, wait, wait,
it's taller than two guns I own.
It needs a 40 round mag to balance
it out. It does. So wait, that's
a that's a night vision skill.
Digital night vision. Yeah, it is
digital night vision day night. Go run
the the name passed me again one
more time. It's the it's an ATN
excite. Okay, okay. Yeah. So it's
not the ATN thermal tie. The
night vision, calm down tie. And it
works, it works fantastically. That's
right. Got excited in yesterday.
So where'd you get that? And he got
an IR up. Go ahead. Good buddy
mind. Give that to me because he got
in a thermal and he's like, you
know what? Here. I won't be needing
this anymore. Fucking
pours. Like kind of like why I
have a psionics error. Yeah, I did
put my Lumen shooter on the top
with IR light and it let's say I
are light up there. Yep. Yeah. So
and it works fucking fantastic.
It has nothing to do with the
raccoon squeezer at all. You're
just going to blind the little
bastard with with. I'm just saying
2000 units with this. Yeah. So
anyway, that's that's my new
that's my new, I guess we could
call our segment. What you got
there? Oh, that is a good
segment. But you have to say it
with the bootless accent. Oh,
what you got there, right? Oh,
yeah. Oh, what you got there?
What you got there? Oh, no, do
you got to say it like a Midwestern
game warden? Yeah. What you got
there? Yeah. Perfect day. What
you got there? What's in that
cooler there? Clip that we don't
have that feature. Oh,
yes, we do. It just doesn't work.
Stream your clip that. Although our
clips perform lower than any other
thing we post. It's ridiculous.
Anyway, no, that's fucking cool.
So how far out? I mean, with that
setup, with that, you've got a big
fucking LED head on there. So you
can probably see shit pretty far
away. I am 1000 plus with this
right now. About say, yeah,
it's fucking right. You've got a
fucking spot right on there. It's
just 223. I can't keep shooting
1000 yards with my 223 at night
time. Ty says the ties as the cows
are slightly safer. Yeah, it's not
an 18 thermal. It's an 18 night
vision. What's your target ID
distance? Do you think like I'd
say, I'd say comfortable probably
for a no, I'd say 500. I can see
my gong perfect at 600, like no
fucking problem. I have yet to see
a coyote that far. So I cannot say
for sure. But at 500, I mean, I can
count the little tassels on a
yucca plant. You'll see they're
frickin eyeballs for forever away.
And then he's going to sit there
and wait for him to get closer
until you can ID him and then zap him.
With my thermal, I'd say like positive
ID for a coyote is like maybe 350.
But mine's a clip clip on that's got
a pretty small lens to it. So
it's yeah, even though it's a 640
unit, it's it's not it's not the
best for that, which at this point
it's two-year-old technology, which
is a lifetime in when it comes to
the advancement in this stuff.
Does that suck? For what I pay for
it, yeah, archery. Oh, ridiculous.
A new year new bow. Just expensive,
more more expensive for.
So yeah, this is my first step towards
thermal, having quite bit the bullet
on thermal yet. Yeah, one step at a time.
I can I can hunt at night without a light
now. That is, I mean, a light that we
can see. Davos just need a suppressor.
Davos six going dark.
What a suppressor not by the ATF, but by
my wife. So the real authority you
have been was that I have been approved
for a suppressor. So I think I'm going
to get a poll 30 like Mikhail down
there. Is a good one. It's a good,
I mean, it's a good starter can.
It's a good forever can. It's a good
everything can like I have no bad
things to say about it. It suppresses
my 30 out six as well as it suppresses
556. I used the same can to kill
my poor little forky last year.
It was so hard. He tied some
paracord through, you know, looped it
through both ends and
made nice little box out when it hit
the head. Plus cost on it. You
probably got done is probably going
to be around 540, which that's a
damn good price for that can, I
think. I don't know much about
cans. I haven't shot very many,
but I'm perfectly satisfied with
mine. So say I shot. They went
down there to shoot prairie dogs and
coyotes a couple of years ago. That's
what I borrowed on my AR. And I was
very pleased with it. Yeah, same.
It was the same one that I borrowed
and everybody. He what he brought
several of the same several poll
30s, didn't he? I don't remember.
I just remember what I had. I may
know, but yeah, whatever. Either
way. And yeah. Anyway, that's
cool. When you get it soon. As
soon as I get to La Hanna. That's
where my preferred SOT is before
when you go to town. Is it the same
bunch of guys that were doing the
FFL's in La Hanna that do them
for the. Yeah. I want their they're
good dudes. Yeah. So nice. That's
really dope. Yeah. But I'm I'm
excited about that. I will say. Be
in a five power. It is an
adjustment going from the Gideon
one to eight. To starting at five
and I'm like, Oh my God, this is
everything is so close. Yeah. So. I
do how to do that. I've got a
couple more ARs to build. I'm going
to build a six arc. Which I'm
not this scope might end up on my
six arc. And I'll just keep this
one as my daytime rifle. And
throw the Gideon back on it. Because
I fucking I love that one day. First
focal plane. Oh, I fucking love
it. But I can see at night time
without a light. Yeah. This one. So
you'll remember last time I went
out shooting with my buddy and I
was having trouble with a couple
of rifles. So I went out today
and one thing I swapped
suppressors back from my main
rifle. I put the YHM T2 back on
my main rifle. Cause it's a little
bit of it's a sturdier can than
the the banish put the banish
back on the other 556 that I
was had. So I had the those two
kids out there who never really
shot much and couldn't hit
anything at 200 yards. And then
I was shooting it and about half
the time I could not hit anything
at 200 yards. I was like, what
is going on here? This is not
working right? So I had to pull
that one off the line and have
him shoot my other one. And I
started messing with it the
other day trying to figure out
what was going on. And I
realized I think that I had a
screw for the light on the
in lock, contacting the gas
block, which would explain a
whole lot. Because I took
everything apart, checked
everything, checked the scope
mount, switch scope mounts
around in case that was the
problem. Cause it was a cutie
scope mount that I was using
and suddenly it was all
suspect. And I didn't know what
was going on. And put the it was
the guardian one to 10 and I
put it back in the guardian
mount and mounted it back up
and went out and and while I was
putting it back together and I was
putting the light mount where it
had been and realized, oh,
because I you know, I go to flex
the barrel to see if there's any
contact, you know, with the
barrel and the handguard, I'll
torque down and everything. And
I realized there's no movement
this direction at all. And I'll
look in its contacting the
gas block. I'm like, well,
that would that that explains
that. So I went and shot it
today and it seemed fine. I was
shooting like tiny little groups
at 50 yards behind my house.
So fix that one, cited in my
main rifle because I switched
suppressors. So I always double
check whenever I switch
suppressors and shot to the
exact same point of aim, which
surprised the crap out of me.
Because I told you what happened
the last time I switched
suppressors on the 22 and it
shot like way, way different.
Yeah, like five inches at 25
yards. Yeah, like WTF
different. It was repeatable,
though. I now know that, you
know, my battle striking. No,
and now I know if I switch
them, I have to go two mills
left and five mills up. No,
that's interesting. Yeah, five
mills. Holy fuck, that is
insane. Well, that's like when I
did put that can on my AR, I
was freaking 11 inches off my
normal point of aim. Yeah, yeah,
it was ridiculous. I'm out there
trying to shoot it at a, I don't
know, there's something. I think
there was a freaking beer can
out there. Like like it. It was
absolutely a beer can. Anyway,
I know because we put it there.
And true. I'll say that I think
about it now, the banish is about
two ounces less than the YHM and
about an inch longer. So if you
want to talk about weight versus
like the length and how you know,
it may
the amount of weight relative on
the muzzle might be about the
same. And anyway,
mess with that. Actually, I use
the chronograph through all of
this. So I got to chrono these
loads a little bit better than I
had ever done before because I
can catch every single one of
them while I was shooting for
precision, which was really
cool. And this time I started a
new session every time I switched
rifles. So I got to measure each
rifle individually, which
I can take that information and go
get some more accurate data for
these. But then I took out the
GT 30 because I'd add problems
with that. Like I couldn't hit
nothing with that neither. And I
think my, I don't know how, but
I needed to shoot more when I was
testing the loads in it because
they're slower than I originally
thought. But that's what they
said about me too. Yeah. Well,
they were right about you. Yeah. I
know. That's what sucks. I don't
know what was going on with that
that rifle. I think I just wasn't
shooting very well that day. And
even today, I still think I had a
little bit of a flinch. But I
still need to test it because it
may be that, you know, round
number one is going low and left.
But low and left isn't a shouldn't
be a thing shooting from a
bench with a with a rifle. That's
a handgun thing, right?
Yeah, I don't know. It seemed
like it was doing okay. I was
satisfied with it when I got
done. I made sure the QD mount
was nice and tight and as tight as
it was supposed to be. Like, but
I was actually pretty impressed
because I had taken the gun, I
taken it all apart and I had
swapped optics around and miss
with things, taken the suppressor
off and on and off and on and the
optics same thing. And I was only
like a couple M.O.A. off whenever
I'd put everything back together.
So nice, you know, the UTG QD
mount, which is a cheap mount.
And the the Gideon Guardian
fiber dot scope, like all of that
suppressor everything
taking off and on and off and on.
And yeah, it was only a couple
of M.O.A. off. That's impressive.
And when I shot it and had
reasonable precision, I think I
need to I need to get a steadier.
Okay, so my most of the beans
are out of my bag from my rest
and I can't find my squeeze bag
because someone cleaned out the
the the storage room and it
disappeared and so I don't know
we've all been there. Yeah, so I
was out there just doing the best I
could. So I'm if I got a steadier
rest, I could be more sure about it.
But then again, I'm dealing with
like an eight pound 308. It's not a
heavy rifle. It's not a bench gun.
It's not meant to be exceptionally
precise. I don't know if I'm going
to try and do like super charge loads
anymore. I was kicking that around
for a while, but now I'm kind of
feeling like, yeah, I don't want to
die. So kind of like living.
You know, that's all right.
I may try and push the envelope
a little bit on some of my like the
heavier weight hunting loads, but
other than that, I don't I don't know
if I'm going to like there's no
reason for target shooting.
There's barely a reason for doing
that with your your hunting loads.
You know, if you're just just trying
to get a little bit more out of it,
but I mean, 57 pound wide tail
don't take a lot.
Hey, that was one time.
I'm actually thinking about my
elk. That's what I was thinking too.
Actually, this gun, if I draw
that elk tag, I'm taking this gun.
Actually, I'm taking this gun and that
gun and that gun because those are
going to be backups.
But yeah, I don't know, I want to take
a nice light 308 in practice out
to four or 500 and just be real
real solid on that.
And yeah, that I'm hoping I draw.
I think this year,
I hope I'm actually going to put in
for it. I just put in for points
last this last season because there's
no way I was going to have time to
get work off to do this.
Yeah, that. So the the elk hunt
local home, if anyone's listening
who hasn't heard, it's a once in a
lifetime draw hunt for the Wichita
Mountains wildlife management area
or the cooks and wildlife
management area in Eastern
Oklahoma near Mescogi.
But that one has a much smaller
herd and they only do maybe one
tag a year total.
So one person gets to shoot an
elk in there every year.
And the Wichita Mountains, either
one, it's all once in a lifetime.
You draw this tag, that's it.
Is it either sex?
I think I've asked you before.
You can put in for either.
Actually, no, you know what?
It they changed something
the year before last.
It had been bull or cow.
Then they changed it to cow or either
sex. So I think they're dealing
with probably they don't have enough
bulls in the herd.
So they're trying to get people
to shoot more cows because they
also they they mixed all of their
licenses from September through
November that they used to have.
They used they used to have those
and now the only ones actually
last year, it was all December,
like late December through February
were all of their tags.
For last year season.
So actually they just finished up
the elk season in Oklahoma, I guess,
last month.
I mean, if I was hunting a once
in a lifetime elk hunt, I would
absolutely want to go for a bull.
Yeah, let's say that's kind of
no, once in a lifetime, I guess I'll
just shoot this cow.
Yeah, but that's the thing though,
like if you don't shoot it, that's
your tag, like you're done.
Like you drew it.
Totally.
It's a lot of time draw.
So like you wait and go.
Like you wait for that bull until
the last little bit of light on the
last day and you shoot the cow and
take it.
They make they make that tag.
They make that tag cow only and
everyone should be like, oh, no, I
I forfeit it.
It's not mine.
The next guy, I don't look for it.
I don't want it.
Yeah, yeah, do you have night
hunting permits?
It never hurts to ask, I guess.
But no, that's I finally got to
look through those rifles.
I didn't find I found that one
little thing wrong with the 556.
I think I just wasn't shooting that
well that day.
And so it kind of unnerved me because
I was like, I thought I had
everything going pretty good here.
And then like things being weird.
But no, also my main rifle shot
great, which I was like I locked
that gun.
So.
Is that the the night force?
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, I looked at those
at shields and I was like, oh,
I'm like, oh, that's that's nice.
See, we're where we there we go.
This is more section over here.
Yeah, what's what's the smallest
night force that they have?
Oh, yeah, still more than my pick up.
Yeah, I mean, worth it, but
when I bought that.
I did I did sit there like I could
buy a pretty OK vehicle for this
amount of money.
Oh, I bought a minivan for less
than I bought my night vision.
Yeah.
And which works better right now?
I mean, the minivan would work fine.
I just got to throw a half shaft in it.
The answer is the night vision works
better right now.
Because the minivan's broken.
This is not broken.
You need to have shaft.
That's that.
I mean, it hasn't broken yet.
It just makes a funny popping sound
when you turn and you just sit there
and go hold in there, hold in there,
hold it. Okay, we're good.
We need to mount the night, the night
scope to this.
I need to mount the thermal to my
spear.
You should absolutely mount a
Gideon optic.
That's where I'm going.
I'm going to I need to put a pick rail
on it and just put the guardian on it
and just send a picture to Bob.
Yes.
This is now.
Yeah, this is now mandatory.
You have to do that.
You should.
Okay, Bob is going to be like,
okay, guys.
That's enough.
Also keep going.
You sent me the picture of the side by
side shotgun with an LPVO.
Dude, he's going to say the same
thing that we say about Vince's boys.
These guys are monsters.
I am raising monsters.
It's fine.
It's fine.
And we are being monsters.
It's fine.
No, we're being animals.
We're not being monsters.
We're just out of control.
I haven't seen Bob today.
Where's Bob?
Bob, he started a pre gaming
and he wasn't able to make it.
It is St. Paddy's day after all.
Oh, was he was he on AK 47?
No, I'm just assuming he's somewhere
passed out under a table.
Well, I was.
Yeah, St. Paddy's day, dude.
If he had been unhinged,
if he was unhinged on AK before it,
like anybody got here,
then I would expect him to not be here.
Yeah.
All right.
Well, that was that was all I had.
I was just given that that little update.
I managed that today.
So other than reloading a whole
bunch of nine millimeter, I haven't been up to a bunch.
Oh, you want to get me on the fucking path?
They're nope.
Okay.
So over the weekend, I loaded it.
Stop.
Stop.
You're gonna bring up 40.
I loaded a thousand rounds of nine mill.
He's giving up on nine.
He's going back to 40.
Fuck off.
No, it's still cost more to reload that too.
Like it right now is not anyway.
You know how I live the math over the weekend?
Is it randomly popped into my head?
Do you know how many rounds of 50 BMG you can get out of a pound of powder?
32.
Yeah, that's I was thinking like high 20s.
32.
I was going to ask how many grains of powder you put in the shell and then I
215.
Okay.
So yeah, voting.
Makes sense.
To the podium 32.
Third.
So a pound and a pound of powders running about between 45 and 50 bucks.
So you're talking a buck 15 or so of just powder.
Yeah, they're run single 50 BMG.
I mean, hey, probably still held a cheaper to hand load it.
I don't I don't know.
I saw 50 BMG for five dollars around, but that was like 15 years ago.
Oh, probably more like eight or 10 dollars.
You know, you know what, you know what else was also, you know, a lot cheaper 15 years
ago, everything.
That's extremely accurate.
I saw gas prices like about the same though.
I saw 50 BMG in COVID cheaper than 65.
Well, yeah, because in my store, yeah, that makes sense.
And I'm like, they're just a pretty sad day when it's cheaper to shoot 50 BMG.
And no shit.
I shot my three in her win bag more than I did my 65 because it was cheaper.
Dude, if I had just spare money, like real spare money, every time I saw 50,
I would just buy it.
It's that that's gone through my head.
Like I should just buy 50 BMG ammo because if you ever need it, you'll just have it.
And it's not getting any cheaper.
It's your retirement plan.
It's the one legal and time material round that's available to us.
In the words of Jeremy Clarkson, if you believe something will happen, it will happen.
I believe believe something will happen.
You know, I believed really hard that girl in high school was going to like me and guess how that worked out.
So anyway, I loaded a thousand.
She was one that was college.
I loaded a thousand rounds over the weekend.
Okay, and way to maybe people talking shut the fuck up.
Loaded a thousand rounds over the weekend and LNI were boxing them up using the ammo checker to the
it's basically ammo checkers are basically these little square dude ads made of metal and they are
machined to the tolerances of base nine millimeter chamber.
You can get them in multiple calibers, but mines and nine mill.
And so you drop your loaded round in there.
And if it goes all the way in, you know that your
your loaders size or was working properly.
And it's a fucking no go gauge for ammo.
Yeah, it is and it is a no go gauge for ammo.
What do we say, baby girl?
If it seats at yeets, that's right.
The you right.
So
a good 40% of my rounds failed the no go gauge.
And I was like, what the actual fuck?
Because I had just checked this thing like 2000 rounds prior to this and fixed it and tightened it down and everything.
And so I went out there and I looked at the sizing die and yep, sure is shit.
The lock nut had backed off and the whole thing had unscrewed itself by several turns.
And so I was like, well, God damn it.
The plus side is the downside.
Let's look at the downside first.
The downside is I made a thousand rounds and half off of my can't use because by the time
I figured out, hey, these aren't working.
I'll just keep them aside for the rifle.
No big deal.
I thought we would get more into more and more.
No, what I thought we would do is take the ones that didn't seat and then set them to the side in a different
can and then use the ones that seat set them to the side so that I can use them in pistol and they don't jam the pistol.
The ones that don't seat will not eat.
They will in my PCC my PCC will eat anything because it will seat anything because being it'll seat and
unseed anything because it's blowback.
It's got a lot of weight and inertia to shove basically anything into the chamber, which pistol slides don't have.
So it's a day of about that seater eater.
Yeah, good, good.
I'm going to get you a no go gauge for nine millimeter.
It's just going to seat you like, oh, hey, look, it works.
So the plus side is I got a thousand rounds loaded.
Downside is can only use half of them for pistol, but anyway, I was going to go take the PCC out yesterday and.
Throw some of those down range like a good majority of them actually because I just don't want them sticking around.
I just want to get rid of them and load good rounds.
But anyway, I went to clean the rifle before I took it out because I wanted to.
Two or three weeks ago, I got a new ambidextrous safety for it and the ambi safety I got was about 35 bucks.
And I thought it would be it would work fine.
The levers, Vince, you'll know the second I say this, the levers are the equal are equal length on both sides.
And so when I, yeah, found out immediately, I hated that.
So ordered a I ordered a rise armament.
I should have like asked questions or whatever, but I ordered a rise armament from somewhere.
It was just a decent option.
Nothing in particular about it.
Just that's the one I picked.
And this works way better.
It feels good.
So I went to put this in before I went to shoot the rifle.
Oh, you can't see.
But I really like ambi safeties because when you come up off the trigger, you just it's really easy.
Anyway, so took the rifle apart to put that in there.
And that is when my silent capture spring fell apart.
Like I pulled it out, put it on my cleaning mat and it just disassembled itself and
yeeted pieces everywhere.
Was that the JP or is it a homicide?
It's a JP.
Oh, JP is supposed to be the good one.
They are the good one.
This has also been five years old.
It's got several thousand rounds of just being bashed in there.
There is the possibility I should have gotten.
I think I got what amounts to a long stroke and I should have gotten the short stroke.
But I also didn't know the difference between short stroke and long stroke when I bought it.
Wait, tell me about the rifle length one.
Like a rifle.
Sober two.
No, no, I have.
So JP has numerous different 9mm buffers.
Okay, this silent capture springs.
They're each one of the end plate.
Each one of the end plates are all different and the short action end plates are they're a lot
sturdier.
They have big padding on them.
And I'm wondering if that's part of the problem.
I'm wondering if I should have gotten one of that
with the short action instead of whatever one I did.
But I don't remember that they had all those options back when I got it.
This was probably five years, maybe six years ago.
So in any case, I emailed them.
Their customer service was pretty all right.
He emailed me back this after, oh, get this guys.
So I'm on the phone on the website.
And I go to contact us say, yeah, I have a problem.
I described my problem.
I described that my end cap came off.
It seems to have disassembled itself and you did pieces everywhere.
And then I go to the photo thing and I go to take a photo, take the photo,
try to submit the photo.
Can't see the error because my iSuck and the phone's too small.
Finally, zoom in on it and find out the max size, the max data size for photos in their
submit a photo thing is 1.9 megabytes.
And my phone was taking two megabyte photos and trying to submit those.
And I was like, well, that's fucking stupid.
Yeah, they don't want any one megabyte penises in there.
Or two megabytes is 1.9 only please.
1.9 megabytes.
So Mike, you mentioned that that whole ambi safety.
So even so this is a Franklin armory binary.
And notice, okay, so it's it's on fire right now, right?
And if it gets bumped, even a little bit forward.
Watch, I'm going to press the trigger.
I'm going to press the trigger, okay.
It, it jumped to binary when you press the trigger.
So if under recoil, you bump it at all.
You're going to straight to binary.
It goes straight to binary and you get you get a surprise.
It comes like the triggers like I want to shoot now.
I said a competition and I was like, I'm meant to do that.
I don't put these in competition guns anymore.
So for anybody that doesn't know what I mean when I said Vince will know what I mean,
the levers on both sides of the ambi safety with the same size,
which means when you go to shoulder your rifle with your normally when you're sitting
with your finger at rest just above the trigger off the trigger outside the trigger guard.
You're just you're sitting resting naturally.
If you go to flick the safety on, the one that I got will jam itself directly into your
finger right at the the top knuckle there.
Yeah, your trigger finger, it jams itself into your trigger finger and gets in the way of where
your your trigger finger normally sits on an AR.
I had to wrap my finger over it.
It was so not cool.
I do like the ambi because I like to like manipulate it on the right side whenever I'm taking an
off safety or putting the safety back on I should say actually.
Yeah, yeah, it's way easier.
It's yeah, when you come up off off target and you just like finger up off the trigger
and then boom, it almost naturally comes to safe when your finger comes off the trigger.
Yeah, and it gets your your finger off the trigger.
Yeah, too.
Yeah, I love them for that.
Functionally, it's it's very useful.
But that's a yeah.
But the rise government is much better.
Yeah, and that's why it was $35.
And the rise government was $65.
I bought one that's on another rifle that they were the same length on each side.
I just cut I just cut it off and then like ground down the edges and made a little shorty one
on the right side because one I'm not buying another one because somebody had a stupid design.
So I'll just cut it and it can look janky and I don't care.
You know, that's a that's a fairly good idea as to what to do with this one.
I could cut it with the Dremel, smooth it down, put it in one of the
lowers that I have yet to ever.
I mean, one of these days I'll build them but I'll have parts and triggers and
safeties and all sorts of shit galore from all of this building I'm doing here.
So yeah, that's a good idea.
Yeah, so yeah, anyway, where is Sam?
I don't know, he ran away.
He plays some music.
He's pinched it off.
He heard this very before, so like anyway, JP Enterprise is JP.
I sent that I have to send the whole goddamn thing to them so that they can rebuild it.
And then they'll send it back.
Well, at least they're going to do that.
I like there.
So I use their spring kit in all of my AR triggers.
They have the three and a half pound enhanced reliability spring kit.
Do these go on male spec triggers?
Yeah, they go on male spec triggers.
And what I'll do is so I have some polishing stones that are four triggers.
And I'll polish the contact surfaces on the trigger parts.
And then I'll put the spring kit in there.
And it actually makes a really freaking nice trigger.
That sounds.
And the spring kits like 10 of 15 bucks.
I bought my brother one for Christmas.
One year was like, hey, let's polish the trigger in your AR.
And like we just sat there and did that and it was cool.
Dude, I might try that with one of mine.
That's a really, that sounds cool.
For 15 bucks to make a three and a half pound trigger too.
Because
duly from the AR 15 podcast, that's what he uses in his too.
I don't know if he has any other strings.
I think he does.
I think I've heard him talking about polishing them.
I know it's the enhanced reliability spring set.
It comes with a four and a three and a half pound trigger spring.
And then the hammer spring, they have a high and a low on that too.
So you can move stuff around to get between three and a half and five pounds.
But you can set it up to earth.
I think I have these set up with the
better, the heavier hammer spring, but the lightest trigger spring.
And that makes it pretty good.
Compromise for me.
I like it that way.
Okay, yeah, that makes sense.
So other than loving the mediator XL on my PCC,
that's all I really had to go into was my ship but fell apart.
You should have hit yourself.
Sounds like I should.
At Putin, she didn't count.
Whoa, okay.
Do not know what happened here.
I folks are leaving writing it down.
My goodness me.
Music, apparently, he keeps asking for music, but you ran away.
So who me?
Yeah, you I had to go deal with the screaming two-year-old above my head.
I mean, that's fair.
These things happen.
El musico.
El musico.
Steve.
Which music?
This music?
Nope.
That music.
No.
Was that just?
Nope.
You know what I mean?
What the fuck was that?
What is all this?
Wait, you have one job.
I want to play.
Okay.
Oh.
I pulled his own forehead.
Ten seconds.
My gons off on count of three.
One, two, three.
Ten seconds.
My gons off on one, two, three.
I pulled his own foreheads on the count of three.
Well, listen to it all day long.
I don't give a shit.
Well, though, don't do that.
And then once it hits a little bit,
it's like I'm trying to fade it out.
And then you start talking.
All right.
So I was looking for a story.
I did not realize that we had this story.
This.
Are you Lois Lane?
I am Lois Lane.
Are you Clark Kent?
Uh.
Superman.
No.
I just Clark Kent.
Ouch.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh, okay.
I got a second head pinging from that one.
Oh.
F**king out.
Oh, sorry.
That was.
That was mean.
That was devastating.
Emotional damage.
No, I'm kidding.
I'm not going to do it again.
If I wasn't so emotionally damaged,
I would have suffered irreparable,
emotional harm from that one.
Such as it is,
I'm basically a cold block of steel at this point.
So we're good.
Anyway,
we're heads on for it.
It's quite the story that we've got for you today.
It comes comes to you from NBC News that
Alaska woman using outhouse attacked by bear
from below.
Look like a submarine.
Stay with me.
So
comes out of Anchorage.
Alaska woman had the scare of a lifetime
when using an outhouse in the back country
and she was attacked by a bear from below.
Yeah, I hate particles.
Start the first sentence and it's basically a repetition of the
anyway.
She says, I got out there and sat down on the toilet
and immediately something bit my butt right as I sat down.
She bear tore.
Well, that's racist.
Shannon Stevens told the associated press on Tuesday.
She says she jumped up, screamed when it happened.
Which Thursday?
I don't care.
Okay, don't ask.
This is the older story.
I think it is.
February 13th of which year?
Oh, 2021.
2021?
Oh, yeah.
I sent this to Mike because we were talking about
Porta Johns earlier and it was like, I have a habit.
I see where you were going.
Okay, I'm on board.
All right.
So apparently they took snowmobiles like way, way, way deep into the back country.
And so this outhouse was one of those
it to stay at his yurt.
Yurt.
All right.
Fucking white people.
What says, and what's a yurt?
It's a Mongolian tent.
I didn't want to be the only one to ask what a yurt was.
It to me, it sounds like yogurt missing the good.
You don't know what a yurt is going on here.
Okay, so a yurt is, you've seen them before.
They're like little, they got like a little sloped roof on the top
and they're round and it's a little.
Every, every, I have something with a sloped roof on them.
Yeah, they have toe walls like you can stand up at them.
Yeah, it's a circle.
Yes, it was cool.
It's, oh, are they though?
Are they like the big cylinder houses with the very shallow roof pointy?
No, my gosh.
How do you not know what a, this is like what I find you a fucking yurt.
Yurt, I think, am already yurted me.
Doss yurt.
Yeah, that's more or less what I was thinking of.
During my brief stint at college, I had a science professor
who lived on the western slope in a yurt.
I was picturing something made of snow or like.
That's an igloo.
I wasn't picturing a canvas, but whatever.
It's okay.
So the California is called a glamping.
That's.
Anyway, woman gets bit on ass by bear.
Woman got bit out in the middle of nowhere.
So
for some reason, there is no more detail as to how the bearer got in the
receiving end of the outhouse.
I'm assuming it was one of those ones that sits, you know, a pyre and
much like a vault toilet has a composting bin underneath buried deep and the bear
got into that somehow and no shoot.
The poop shoot, you're right.
A good way to
why the bear looked up and went, hmm, ham.
I don't know.
That's some crazy shit, though.
Nope, pun intended.
This time, who brought it to her ass?
Clip that.
She said, I just shut the lid as fast as I could.
I said, there's a bear down there.
We've got to get out of here now and we ran back.
Well, here it is.
It's trekked.
If the bearers yard was the same as it would say.
So the bearers trapped down underground now, but let's go high to the canvas wall tent.
But is it trapped on high underground because do you really think that closing the lid on the bearer?
Like, did the bear go in the toilet?
Well, if you look at the bearer, you can see that the bearer is in the middle of the
side of the bed and go in the other side.
If he advances spear, I mean, one way or the other, you've got to bottleneck in there.
Like, you have the upper hand.
The bear is trapped underground and it can only escape out of the toilet seat or out of the other end.
But if you kill the bear in your outhouse, you now have many other problems.
Well, no, no, you wait for it to come out.
I'm not saying you'd go ink him in there, but you now have him contained.
So now you know, okay, you sit here.
I'll sit here.
One of us is going to win.
Look, okay.
You got to ask, which is, would you rather have it bite you when you sit down or just lick?
I hate the way you're mouth.
Oh, that was a lick with a Y.
Yeah.
In two cases with the Y.
Can you imagine sitting down and getting randomly licked?
Like, Sam, go to the worst summer Porto shitter that we were talking about earlier.
And now sit down and just imagine getting licked.
But it's not a bear.
It's just a drywall or fucking suited.
Why are you even putting faces on it?
No.
And also, why is it got to be a drywall?
It's just, if you, you would know, okay, if you've ever seen drywallers, you know,
if it's not a drywall guy, it's a painter, one of the two.
Some poor fucking hunter is going to shoot this bear and be like,
God, tastes like shit.
Funny.
It's very earthy.
A little better.
Oh, my.
Anyway, she said it was bleeding, but it wasn't super bad.
My favorite part of this article, it stopped me if you already read this.
But the dude found her tending her wound.
At first, they thought she'd been bitten by a squirrel or a mink.
But she literally looks down and said, there's a bear down there.
Like, oh, no, honey, it's just a squirrel.
Dude goes in there, lift slid.
There's a shitty eating bear in there.
Yeah, I.
This is just shitty NBC writing, but this is definitely the storyline to the soft core porn.
What are you doing down there, step bear?
This is, this is almost the storyline to that Stephen King movie dream catcher.
It was poop catcher.
Nightmare catcher.
Says they figured the bear got inside the outhastor and opening at the bottom of the bag door.
What is that even the.
Well, couple of weeks, it's just been like northern red necks dealing with animals.
Yeah, it is very Arkansas.
Slash Alaska.
Aras getting swatted on the butt when you're sitting down a winner.
She could be the only person on earth that this has ever happened to for all I know.
There's no other way to read this.
So these people absolutely have deep southern accents for some.
Garin T.
I'm an alien story.
I don't, I don't, but my grandma does.
These are the people that you see on the news after the tornado comes.
These are, these are good people.
Garin T.
They would have put up a better fight than that bastard up in Aspen.
Yeah, what the one who got punched by the bear.
Yeah, the one who just got bold over, you know, where?
And do you know the best thing that the bear's still out there?
Yeah, got away with it.
Well, he didn't get a taste of the human flesh if he only swatted her.
He was more like late and no, he's more like lady.
Don't shit on me.
Get out of here.
Or maybe he was like, oh, yes.
Mac that ass.
And that's what he was in there for.
Because he's a weird ass bear.
Or maybe I'm a weird person.
I prefer it by way.
Thank you.
He just didn't want to get pooped on.
He's like that.
Well, imagine just being laying in bed.
And suddenly a little hole opens near roof.
And you look up.
And you just see brown starfish.
You're like, well,
and I guess if everything if they haven't been there in a while
and everything's just like dried and like you don't visit often anyway.
So there's not going to be much in there to begin with.
So yeah, I could imagine that being a very comfy place for a bear to
want to hang out.
Aside from I know what goes in there.
Yeah, poor bear.
Bear is just like most a little earthy in here.
Oh goodness.
Well, that's what a story.
At the end, the brother Eric says he'll carry bear spray with him at all times
when he's going over that country.
I'm like, you didn't already just go ahead and give the outhouse a dose
for you sit down.
It's a little Alaskan Puparee.
That's what you call it too.
You got to do your Alaskan Puparee to make sure there's no bears in your shitter.
That's okay.
So I know the chances of us ever having our own
personal line of bear spray are zero.
But if for some reason we ever have our own branded line of bear spray
it will be called Alaskan Puparee.
I'm good with it.
Yep.
Just don't leave your your 365 in the outhouse.
Yeah, you get to little it gets a little spritz of the Puparee
and then you throw an appendix carry and it burns.
Great.
Now he's armed.
The shit sour.
The guy is the bear took my gun.
Go hide in the yard.
He's learning abnormally quickly how to use it.
Guys, Ron, there's no way there's no way he figures that out.
What gun do you have?
It's a P320?
Like, oh, no.
Our buddy Brett says to the two to the chest 19 to the head
if it bears in my home.
Fair.
CpW shows up to your house.
How many mag changes did you do?
About seven.
Yes.
I spoke all of them.
Pick a number.
In fact, I had to stop and go load some mags and then I came back.
Actually, I had to go and I moved.
I had to go and reload some.
I picked up the empty brass.
I used to shoot the bear.
I only have 10 rounds.
I shot at 30 times, but there's only eight pieces of spent
brass laying around.
I still got two in the gun.
Dude, your mag on Rumble.
I had a mountain lion this yard last week.
Sir, you should have lassoed it.
Or shot it off the knee like Brett did.
Yeah, at six feet.
He says that he thinks it wants his dogs.
Cougars will be like.
Do you have a cartoon about that, didn't they?
Cat dog.
Wasn't that that cartoon that had a cat on one end of an animal
and a dog on the other side?
No, that was the Russian version of human centipede.
I was going to try it.
I was trying to formulate a human centipede joke,
but I was going to throw it in there.
Definitely.
It's the Bollywood version.
It's the Bollywood human centipede.
Did you ever actually see that movie?
No, no, only the second one.
Who would actually watch?
There's a second one.
I think there's actually three.
It's worse.
How can you tell us worse if you haven't seen the first one?
Because the first one only has three people.
The second one has 12.
What the fuck?
So there I was.
These games go out.
We went into our outhouse and something bit me on the ass.
I looked out of it.
There was a human centipede down there.
It was a guy stapling.
Somebody else's mouth to my ass hole.
Do they have another victim?
Don't worry.
Soon you will become one of us.
Like, bro, could you not?
And then the entire line's like, oh, no, no.
Oh, we're done.
This is getting worse.
All right.
So I have to admit, I watched that movie and I didn't know there.
God, there's more.
I watched the movie the first one.
It turns out because the South Park episode
made me go, what the actual hell are they spoofing?
So by curiosity, sheer morbid curiosity,
I had to go on Netflix and watch the human centipede
because of the human centipede episode of South Park.
You all have seen the, the,
the Kermit the Frog reacts to two girls.
One cup, right?
I have regrets.
That was Mike.
I have regrets.
I'm way not convinced to pipe up with this Kermit voice.
Oh, it's awful.
And then looks around.
No wonder how it gets some lotion out.
Why would you do that?
Good lord.
Anyway, so spray your shitters.
In Alaska.
It just is a precautionary matter.
Yep.
I don't mind the spicy cheeks.
Standard practice before you enter any bathroom anywhere.
Unpin a frag grenade.
Toss it in first.
Wait.
Frag out.
Oh, you don't like the bug bombs for your house.
Just make one that shoots out bear spray and it's just how you clear out your
outhouse or whatever in case there's any bears napping in there.
Yeah.
Earlier, I was talking to someone about Chihuahua's
of making like a potato gun that launched them.
Can you think of the, just imagine the infomercials for our outhouse bear bombs?
Just you tired of being bitten the ass by bears?
And having your brother lick your wounds?
It's like, like.
Oh, we need to get the bloom boys that that Richard Haiti dude
take into it for you can do the ads for us.
Off we go.
I think we need to leave.
Oh, is that it now?
That was to them.
We've crossed the line finally.
Okay, well, we do have a review to read.
I have already sent out the stickers for this fella.
Oh, yeah.
It took me a while to identify that it was the same person that left your review on another show
because they changed their user name in between.
Anyway, come,
come and Krone, come and don't.
There we go.
Wow, the case to be off.
Jesus, and you call yourself an author.
No, I don't.
The case threw me off.
Common-dont Krone, you just needs another Kate name in there.
Wait, it begins with no, not really.
Oh, because the title's worst podcast ever.
You know, reading is hard.
Worst podcast ever.
No, not really.
I dig your random topics and really appreciate the lack of politics.
Thanks for the great show, guys.
Well, random topics you got tonight, sir.
Totally cow.
I mean, I get political occasionally, but I guess we do.
I think it's more that we don't get political in the sense of,
let's argue actual like current political topics versus more generalist
you'd do with hunting and outdoor stuff.
Yeah, or just gun stuff bad.
We have another review.
We do.
Well, you read it because I don't want to look for it.
Is it over a podcast addict?
Yep, I knew it.
Yep.
So this is my review five stars from typical PNW guy.
Wait, I didn't read that one already.
No, no.
Oh, oh, yeah, sorry.
That dude's left like three reviews.
I think he's trying to farm stickers out of us.
Matter of fact, he said, wouldn't you?
So I've left a couple reviews in the past,
but decided to help the noobs out.
Here's a guest in correlation to the we like shooting pod,
most popular puke podcast.
Sam is awesome.
Oh, sorry.
Sam is CN, Vince is Nick, Davis, Jeremy, and Mike is Aaron.
So if that tickles your fancy, stay a while.
Also, I wear a navy blue purple daily FedEx
and have and have pet two wild deer and one wild turkey video evidence has been sent
in the past on Instagram.
So I don't know if that night vision thing is accurate.
Typical pingay on Instagram.
Yes.
I love you.
Say it back.
Love you.
I love you.
No, I don't fucking love you.
Called me Aaron.
Fuck off.
Dude, you are Aaron.
No, absolutely.
One thousand percent are Aaron.
I love you.
Typical PNW guy is a, a, a G.
Even a long time listener.
Yeah.
What's wrong with him?
When he says purple, he said FedEx, but is he like,
are there blue purple?
Okay, but are there, we need to do some,
