I just now put up the files I said I would. Unfortunately I did not get last weeks chat saved in time to put it up.


KK7CON- Kristin Wed Nov 15 7:40 pm
Good Evening


Jamie.Idaho70's daughter Wed Nov 15 7:43 pm
Hello!


twp Wed Nov 15 7:43 pm
Evening all


K7KKX - Jerry D Young Wed Nov 15 7:43 pm
If anyone can remember a subject I said I would post about please let me know.
Hello all.


Idaho70 Wed Nov 15 7:44 pm
Hello everyone


K7KBJ Wed Nov 15 7:45 pm
Hi all


K7DWWDavid Wed Nov 15 7:45 pm
Hello everyone...tonight's topic will be unusual prepping gear
If you have some things to add to my list, I would be grateful if you would share them with me


Jamie.Idaho70's daughter Wed Nov 15 7:48 pm
So the other day I sold some cross country skis through FB Marketplace. When I went to hand them over, I just decided to ask him what he was going to do with them, realizing he would say, "ski." But he didn't! He's going to cut them and use the curve ends to make a recurve bow! We all can learn by asking "obvious" questions to those who may or may not be preppers


KK7CON- Kristin Wed Nov 15 7:49 pm
I Have a question. One of my co workers and I were talking if the SHTF how would you communicate on your Ham radio friends without other people understanding? Saw the movie on Netflix when the Nazis invaded France and they had code that they talked in. Very good movie!


K7KKX - Jerry D Young Wed Nov 15 7:50 pm
The US used Navaho Code Talkers


K7DWWDavid Wed Nov 15 7:50 pm
Kristin...Ken or Jerry are probably best to answer that, however, that is a great topic for future net....thanks
Well, maybe not Jerry!


K7KKX - Jerry D Young Wed Nov 15 7:51 pm
Hey... I did not get to the cowbells yet!


K7DWWDavid Wed Nov 15 7:51 pm
What's the delay?


K7KKX - Jerry D Young Wed Nov 15 7:51 pm
My slow fingers.


K7KBJ Wed Nov 15 7:51 pm
KK7CON... You need to see my Graytell Device. It is a manual encryption tool.


K7KKX - Jerry D Young Wed Nov 15 7:51 pm
And you are right. A subject to itself.


K7KBJ Wed Nov 15 7:51 pm
Here is something unusual...
Those little card samples from the department stores are loaded
with alcohol inside, and perfume cards offer the convenience also
of cardboard to work as tinder. For an added touch, dip the
perfume cards in paraffin wax.


KK7CON- Kristin Wed Nov 15 7:52 pm
Do we all get a copy of a code book? sock it away until needed?


K7KBJ Wed Nov 15 7:52 pm
No. You need my Graytell Device.


K7KKX - Jerry D Young Wed Nov 15 7:53 pm
If you get the small glass bottles of scent samples they are usually large enough to have a good amount of fire starting liquid inside.


KK7CON- Kristin Wed Nov 15 7:54 pm
hmm interested in learning more about the Graytell Device


K7KBJ Wed Nov 15 7:54 pm
Here's a link...

K7KKX - Jerry D Young Wed Nov 15 7:55 pm
Here are some short range communications methods. Using radio communications using other than open language can get one in trouble now, so it is hard to practice.
The list is too long. I will put it up on NNPG.net forum.

K7KBJ Wed Nov 15 7:57 pm
Thanks Jerry !


twp Wed Nov 15 7:58 pm
Ken, I cannot find Greytell with a search engine. Is it spelled differently?


K7KBJ Wed Nov 15 7:58 pm
I posted a link above. Take a look.
Graytell Device (with an 'a')


K7KKX - Jerry D Young Wed Nov 15 7:59 pm
I may have to go back in and change the formating. It is tiny text.


twp Wed Nov 15 7:59 pm
Not Youtube,.. Is there another website available?


K7KBJ Wed Nov 15 7:59 pm
not yet


twp Wed Nov 15 8:00 pm
'K thanks


K7KKX - Jerry D Young Wed Nov 15 8:01 pm
Some of my oddball preps are listed in the alternative comms post I put up in NNPG.net forums.
The Northern Nevada Prepper's Group - Home
The Northern Nevada Prepper's Group
Others include one not all that oddball... a customized game cart.
Some others are bread bag plastic tags. Model rocketry rocket engines (got that from David). An Igloo builder when snow is only really shallow.
Frisbee used to fly low over the brush and grass to scare birds and rabbits so they will jump and move so you can see them when hunting.


K7KBJ Wed Nov 15 8:04 pm
I will be selling the Graytell Device on Etsy. I just have to make some for stock.
I will have some at our January Frozen Prepper Days event.


twp Wed Nov 15 8:04 pm
Ken, keep us advised.


Idaho70 Wed Nov 15 8:05 pm
I like the frisbee idea. Although you would best to be working in a team. One thrower and one shooter.


K7KKX - Jerry D Young Wed Nov 15 8:05 pm
A Zeer pot for alternative refrigeration down to about 40 degrees under ideal conditions.
Yep
A two pot terracotta small heater using tea lights or other small candles.


KK7CON- Kristin Wed Nov 15 8:07 pm
Ken let me know when you have them please


Idaho70 Wed Nov 15 8:07 pm
Probably do not want the waxed dental floss if using it for a snare. Wax may slow it up.


K7KBJ Wed Nov 15 8:08 pm
Kristin, I will. I'll have some at our January Frozen Prepper Days event.


K7KKX - Jerry D Young Wed Nov 15 8:08 pm
I have the Black & Decker 20v Max Battery tool system which has several different heads for it including a drill, impact wrench, air compressor, and several other items. Plus their 20v Max batteries are used with many other single use tools. I have a chainsaw, blower, dustbuster, and a few others.


Jamie.Idaho70's daughter Wed Nov 15 8:08 pm
baking soda has a shelf life of 18 months so think of that as well


K7KBJ Wed Nov 15 8:09 pm
What if you put baking soda into a glass jar with oxygen absorber and then evacuate the jar??


Idaho70 Wed Nov 15 8:09 pm
Condoms for putting over the gun barrel opening to keep water out.


twp Wed Nov 15 8:09 pm
Jamie, Baking Soda has a longer shelf life. Baking Powder is the short shelf life item.
Oxy absorbers will extend the storage lif.


K7KKX - Jerry D Young Wed Nov 15 8:10 pm
Tiny to large funnels.
Buckets with lids of several sizes.
And faster if you charge it with a cattle prod. Though I do not think you would do that, Ken.
Kilo Seven Kilo Kilo X-ray in Winnemucca via chat. Jerry


Jamie.Idaho70's daughter Wed Nov 15 8:12 pm
My Amazon Prepper list has grown so much tonight!


K7KKX - Jerry D Young Wed Nov 15 8:13 pm
Additional alternative items are mirror of several sizes, from face powder compact mirrors to wall hanging size.
The same with Fresnel lens from pocket to the largest projection TV version you can get your hands on.
(If you get the large Fresnel lens be very, very careful as they can start fires when you do not want them to, even when you are not looking.
I use a old style blowgun with various types of darts for hunting as well as chasing off nuicense small animals using plain beads.
I need a great deal more practice, but I have taken rabbits with a throwing stick when I was a great deal younger.


Idaho70 Wed Nov 15 8:17 pm
Was a magnifying glass mentioned? Start fires and could be useful for treating wounds, allows you to see really tiny particles that may be impacted in a wound that could lead to an infection.


Jamie.Idaho70's daughter Wed Nov 15 8:17 pm
You've taken rabbits with a throwing stick!? I feel if I just slightly look in their direction, they are gone!


K7KKX - Jerry D Young Wed Nov 15 8:19 pm
I have many different types of small items such as hairpins, hair ties, craft tiny clothes pins and craft sticks, Push pins, thumb tacks, and other things I use for trailblazing and for setting up snare triggers much more easily that carving them with my fingers that have no dexterity left in them.


Idaho70 Wed Nov 15 8:19 pm
A mirror of course for signaling quietly and reflecting sunlight into holes or dark areas is better than a flashlight. I used them to find rattlesnakes under large trees, burrows, and rocks.


K7KKX - Jerry D Young Wed Nov 15 8:20 pm
I use to be more sneaky than was good for me. Plus, I have quite a bit of Native American blood in me and my dad and a couple of uncles were hunters. One of them was a master with the throwing stick and taught me. Though I disappointed him when I could not do it like him.


K7DWWDavid Wed Nov 15 8:22 pm
Fun topic tonight...


K7KKX - Jerry D Young Wed Nov 15 8:22 pm
Keep a good rotor tiller. They make great ditch diggers.
And shelters.


Idaho70 Wed Nov 15 8:23 pm
The limit is only defined by ones imagination.


K7KKX - Jerry D Young Wed Nov 15 8:23 pm
It was, david.
Pretty much Idaho.


K7DWWDavid Wed Nov 15 8:23 pm
Friend of mine here said (based on me) a gag might be a good thing to bring! Ouch!


K7KKX - Jerry D Young Wed Nov 15 8:23 pm
lol


Jamie.Idaho70's daughter Wed Nov 15 8:24 pm
and miss out on your jokes and stories?!


K7KKX - Jerry D Young Wed Nov 15 8:24 pm
Well, I am hurting bad tonight so I am going to bed. Good night. Talk about me all you want, just do not lie. lol


K7DWWDavid Wed Nov 15 8:24 pm
Thanks and good night everyone!!!!!


KK7CON- Kristin Wed Nov 15 8:24 pm
Good Night Everyone!


Idaho70 Wed Nov 15 8:24 pm
We would never do that Jerry.


Jamie.Idaho70's daughter Wed Nov 15 8:24 pm
Anyone else think Jerry is the best??


Idaho70 Wed Nov 15 8:24 pm
Yes


twp Wed Nov 15 8:25 pm
Second that on Jerry


Idaho70 Wed Nov 15 8:25 pm
So Jamie, you have expanded your wish list?


Jamie.Idaho70's daughter Wed Nov 15 8:25 pm
I added at least ten items


Idaho70 Wed Nov 15 8:26 pm
Only 10?
Now you will be out in your backyard trying to start fires.


Jamie.Idaho70's daughter Wed Nov 15 8:27 pm
If I can start a fire here in NW Washington right now I will need to be awarded some kind of scout badge


Idaho70 Wed Nov 15 8:28 pm
you can always throw a fresbee and chase whatever you scare up.
Just remember that Walmart road flare and you could start a fire with water soaked wood.


Jamie.Idaho70's daughter Wed Nov 15 8:29 pm
Oh there is plenty of wild life here in my backyard!
and I recently got more flares as well as though fire extinguisher cans


Idaho70 Wed Nov 15 8:30 pm
Get your blowgun out


Jamie.Idaho70's daughter Wed Nov 15 8:30 pm
IT'S ON THE WISHLIST!
:smile:


Idaho70 Wed Nov 15 8:31 pm
A good sling shot would be good also.


Jamie.Idaho70's daughter Wed Nov 15 8:31 pm
Added*


Idaho70 Wed Nov 15 8:32 pm
Well, my work here is done. Time to call it a night. Goodnight all.


Jamie.Idaho70's daughter Wed Nov 15 8:32 pm
Sweet dreams, everyone


twp Wed Nov 15 8:32 pm
Excellent Forum session, thanks to all
I'm out
