Creeping collectivist nanny state strikes again.
Your tax dollars at work.
*Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has mandated that all consumers in
the United States must purchase at least 4 gallons of gasoline when they go
to the gas station, if they are getting fuel from a pump that also offers a
new E15 ethanol-gasoline blend.
The Obama administration wants consumers to use more of the E15 fuel – a
blend that contains 15 percent ethanol – but the problem is that many gas
stations use blender pumps, which offer several types of fuel and, after
pumping, there always is a residual amount of fuel in the hose. E15 fuel
can poten... more »
Praxis: 2-1-3 lacing for boots.
A genuflection and tip of the boonie hat to Stephen, who writes:
*Mister Vanderboegh,
At the risk of opening up a can of all things foot-related, I can say that
I used to have gawdawful problem with rubbing at the back of the foot,
which would wear out both the inside of the heel of the boot and a whole
boatload of socks until I discovered the "2-1-3" lacing technique. See,
e.g., this if you're unfamiliar:

(They recommend it for "instep bite", but I find it really helps lock the
heel of my foot to the heel of the boot)
Take it for what it... more »
I love this headline . . .
"Why we need 'high capacity' magazines: Because there are more than 10
Democrats."
Elmer Fudd strikes again.
Texas Hunter Education, or “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Fudds”.
*The term “Fudd” is derived, of course, from the Elmer Fudd, the hunter in
the Looney Tunes cartoons. And in Pennsylvania, it’s used to describe a
certain kind of person. Specifically, one who believes the only purpose for
firearms is hunting, that the only acceptable type of rifle is the kind
their pappy gave them in the 1960s (and that all others should be illegal)
and is generally intolerant of change. In other words, a crotchety old
fart.
Perfect example from back in Pennsylvania: I was with my shooting team ... more »
A Message for the Generals
A Grim Message for the Generals.
*There’s a reason why Barack Obama is mistrusted in the ranks of the
military services. He doesn’t smell of the hive, and it shows. Bees
recognize a hostile intruder when they see one, and so do soldiers, sailors
and Marines.*
*Many of these soldiers, sailors and Marines feel betrayed by the senior
officers of the services, beginning with the commander in chief. The old
customs and traditions that have held the services together through war and
peace have been scorned and trashed, replaced with the politically correct
attitudes and regulations that ... more »

Some Training Resources for Groups and Individuals
If you train with a group here are a few good resources. I ran across my
hardcopies while unpacking the boxes and boxes of books we brought from
AK. Mixed in with these FMs, and titles such as Fry The Brain: The Art of
Urban Sniping and its Role in Modern Guerrilla Warfare and Resistance to
Tyranny: A Primer were titles such as those from Dr. Seuss and various Little
Golden Books...yeah, you remember those. Don't deny it.
What can I say? I'm a dad! Anyway, here are some free .pdf files:

A Closer Look at "Combat Light"
Mosby discusses these links from WRSA.
I like Mosby's point about carrying a minimal ruck with sustainment gear
over strapping all that junk to one's LBE.
I would add that "Combat Light" *will kill the majority of people* in some
of the conditions I have trained in, and I'm not just saying that to sound
like I've "been there done that". I have trained in the arctic and
subarctic, and I can say without hesitation that* you will die if you are
not prepared*, and that carrying the right gear into the cold can save *hours
*of exhausting and noisy work that a person would need to do to ... more »

Hmmm...China
in an island squabble with Japan. India fortifying it's military forces
along its borders with China.Øbama appearing on the David Letterman
show.What could go wrong?!
New Delhi: Against the backdrop of Chinese military build-up along its
boundary with India, the Army is planning to deploy artillery and tank
brigades along the borders in northern and northeastern regions.

Tritium AR Iron Sights
I have to say, after putting this front sight and this rear sight on my AR
pistol, I am sold on tritium sights in low-light conditions. Sight
alignment is merely a matter of putting the small green dot (front sight
post) in between the two large fuzzy ones (on the rear sight).
I went with the folding rear sight to accommodate a (future) red dot system
on the pistol.
The usefulness of these sights, and the advantages of tritium over standard
irons became apparent during a recent local field trip.
As for Troy's "DOA" system, I find that the long-range aperture is harder
