I actually almost got Trench Foot during my second week. Had to take some time to let my feet air out. They were burning.

I think my unit is going to try to get a cash pool going so we can go out there sometime as a group and participate

Go during the big anniversaries.

Like the 165th or 170th

Yeah, I think we're shooting for the 175th

Of course, I don't think we'll see numbers like we did with the 150th for a long time.

or something like that

175th might have good turnout.

remains to be seen...

Of course, well it's getting late. And I have a big day planned with my GF tomorrow, so catch ya

adios

> You have to weigh as much as the cannon in order to be one. @Sparrow I can be a howitzer!!

Yes, yes you can. I've seen your fat titties

Dont act like you dont spend hours abusing that nub you call a dick to my hairy titties

why do muzzle loading cannons have to be so expensive

smh

I have a GF for that, thanks.

And because anything old is expensive.

$24k for a repro 12 pounder gun

Forgeries arent making them in quantity so that adds costs

true

If your really motivated nearly every town in new england has at least one piece of artillery on the town hall lawn lol

Gonna need work to get em firing again but, motivated men can do anything

Looks like Imma have to become a socialist for free government handout muzzle loading artillery...

"When the man in front of you falls, you pick up his muzzle loader"

I know where two are located near me, but I'd have to bring 'em back by sneaking around the outskirts of an army base

What's the point if your bringing them back lol. Keep those things. What they gonna do? You'll have 2 cannons 😂😂

bring them back home with me

Mount one on a civic. Rename it the lowrizer

I was going to give a school bus a wood planking wrap and give it schooner rigging a mount them in the bus to become a true road pirate

My home for tonight

Hellz yeah homie!

How long to make it?

Guess that's a poncho house?

About 20 minutes to set up and ground prep, found a good spot with soft soil, so no need to cut too much

Whole objective here is to disturb as little as possible and protect myself from FLIR overhead.

Interesting

Nice

The pocho blocks heat signature?

That is a nice poncho color

Blends in well

@bravoN7 how was the night homie?

Long and full of terror! Lol, jk... it was awesome. Night fire was fun and today we had 9 people qualify on the rifle 2 course!

My buddy took some pics while I was passed out in my dirt floor poncho hovel

I didn't sleep much, but the ground was cool enough to get a little shut eye

That’s awesome man. Glad you made it through!

Protect from FLIR with leaves?

FLIR protection with the poncho, flir can only see the surface temperature of an object and not what's behind it. So a 2' or so air layer between you and a poncho, tarp, wall, ect. FLIR, Thermal, Nods, whatever can't see through objects

@GRANITE thanks bro, we had a great turnout for rifle training today as well.

I’ve always wanted to do one of those type lean tools

After many failed attempts, first success at making cordage from bark. About 10 ft made from locust bark.

Very cool

I should try that with cedar bark

That's probably the only thing in my area that can be reliably wound

Cedar bark is awesome

I have none here

I got cedar and Douglas fir

@Rawhide you got any tips for making rope?

I just watched a couple videos, but I didn't have any of the bark that they were using. Just had locust. I had to soak the bark for a few days and then I was able to separate it into thin pieces

Cedar will be way easier I think

I read one article where they practiced using toilet paper

I see

I did find that if I used thinner pieces of bark, but more of them, it was easier to do the reverse twist without breaking the fibers.

Interesting

Cedar doesn't get as brittle as locust bark does. So it is a bit easier. I also separated the inner bark until it was felxible like a piece of paper

But defintely look for a video from someone who knows what they are doing. I'm not sure I know what I am doing yet.

Would this go here

Land nav question incoming. Where do y'all get your topographic maps from?

I wish my land allowed me.to build a chad bunker but digging through at is hell ;(

Too rocky?

Clay dude

2 feet of top soil 6 ft of dense clay

Even heavy dozers struggle to break it up

Plus having to have propper drainage under it

Pro tip for anyone working with concrete, tape off the tops of your boots twice aswell as you think is necessary and wear promotion pads (knee pads) and shin protectors
