what is wrong with this scenario

its the middle of the day and some guy in arabic garb walks into the building screaming "ALLAHU
AKBAR " and starts shooting people ???? another nutjob has attacked a military base, and i stayed quiet about itfor a few days not saying anything about it. i wanted to know the facts first
Look i don't care what god you pray to. my concern is for what your god tells you
to do, who to do it to and what weapon to use when you do it . to the families of the dead and injured, you have my prayers. I know there are muslims serving in the military , in our military ..
but, i think its time we take a closer look at them, especially in a time of war. the arabs think we are the great satan, infidels to be killed, fatwas have been issued and this is only the beginning of the muslim problem. only the beginning. this can only get worse, because there is the belief that muslims cannot control their selves, their passionate hatred for infidels. its drummed into their heads from an early age, hatred for america, listen to what is being taught in the madrassas . they are the worst kind of hillbillies there are , these mountain men from wherever they come from. the taliban is recruiting here in america. wake up people ....

survival series

again its time to turn the clocks back one hour ... an extra hour of sleep? perhaps.. so welcome back to powderkeg, the rants and raves of a madman in a mad world gone nuts.

this episode is called the survivor series. one of many such episodes you'll see here in my blog.
i devote a lot of my free time outdoors, hunting, fishing and camping. ive been a camper since i was three years old, camping out for the first time in the rockies in colorado and around the ozarks. ive got pictures of my dad and me in colorado, doing outdoor wilderness stuff. it was a lot of fun learning how to survive in the wilderness , digging out a snow cave shelter at age six in the worst blizzard to hit the north east in recorded history , gee ive had a fun life so far. so lets talk about wilderness survival in the winter time shall we. its easy to freeze to death . hypothermia is a real bad way to die. frostbite is no fun. take my advise, if you don't know how to survive in the outdoors during inclimate weather, stay inside, stay warm, drink a lot of hot cocoa and don't go out looking to get hurt or injured. cold weather isn't for sissies or uneducated blowhards who think they can figure it out. it takes knowlege , know how and brains to figure out what to do, when to do it and where to do it, and not everyone can build an igloo in less than 30 minutes . it takes practice and patience to do it, like every outdoor skill . time is important and failure is
expected the first few times until you half frozen brain catches on. walk ten miles your pant legs frozen up to your hips before you attempt to try any of this outdoors stuff.

insulated rubber boots.... if your feet are warm the rest of you is warm. a hat..you lose 45 percent of your body heat from your head . cover up ... gloves they are essential. i suggest thermal gloves. handwarmers blow up too easily and can burn the daylights out of your hands,
so id vote no on them . in cold windy conditions. layers are what protect you from windchill.
outer layer needs to be a nylon windbreaker over a thermal layer over a fleece layer over a flannel layer . me i wear sweats and fleece over the sweats and then i have a nylon coat that serves as a winter coat and windbreaker with a wooby hat. i wooby warm

Survival series

this year we've overcome some hard things and this winter will be a difficult one for all. the economy is down, gold is up , so buy small lots of gold in chains rings etc to ensure if the big one hits you can afford to survive. food is also something i urge folks to stock up on especially now since prices are rising , what ever you can afford. , dry goods , beans, noodles, freeze dried stuff, hickory and oak chips for smoking and curing meats , salt, another commodity and sugar , non dairy creamer, with venezuala and iraq buddy buddy, coffee might be hard to come by, stock up on it if you drink it. , freeze dried coffee, instant coffee , whole bean or grind...

hunters, buy ammo, if you can get it in bulk, buy it. ive learned to reload my own using hand poured lead cast bullets, i cast myself , gear up honchos, its gonna get worse before it gets better.
maybe i have got a good point to get across, if something bad happens, be prepared

survival series

survival foods. expensive , mre's costly. distilled filtered water...really expensive.. cold storage...hard to find unless you have a basement or a cave thats dry and has no mice or rats.

so here is the smart way to go..use your head. prepackaged foods can be placed in a sanitized
pickle bucket and the lid snaps down to keep it from pests . you can store freeze dried foods or
dehydrated foods in buckets as well and water, invest in a hand pump for your well and boil the
water as neede. distilled water, use a lengthof hose atop your pressure cooker ...viola distilled from
steam water... smoked meats such as beef and fish are fun to make and provide fast protein

proteins fats and carbs, water and air are what the human body needs to survive. invest in a smoker. i did and i'll have jerky for years and years to come oak hickory , pecan make the best smoke ..look on youtube for how to smoke meats or go to the library and read a book

today is monday and its late at night and my heart is heavy and im praying for the family of a

police officer that was shot last week and died this evening . i send them my condolences and

urge others to remember them in their prayers.

im not a racist. but , this is a case of a black perpetrator killing one officer, and shooting

another . the perp was shot fatally negating the need for a trial. saving the taxpayers a lot of

money for housing, feeding , clothing another criminal in the jail, a lengthy trial, a public

defender, and other costs...i see the perps family is trying to raise funds for his burial, and i

feel sorry for them, but i wouldnt contribute to their cause not one single dime...

all too often criminals kill innocent people or police officers doing their jobs. the perps ex was

the intended target for this man's anger. i cant say i understand this man's despair because

he intended to kill her, i believe , you dont carry a gun without the intent of using it.

i carry a gun, the hunting kind, and this crime reflects on all legal law abiding gun owners.

news like this, gives the anti firearms gun grabber fodder...

again my prayers go out to the family of the injured and the slain officer

its sunday september 27th at 8;30 am im sad to say im still not where i want to be physicaly, having no sleep once more . the rings under my eyes have their own set of rings ... anyhow its the lords day. god bless the faithful and meek and please pray for each other ..


Lord we humbly ask for your help and your guidance this day and tomorrow and on through the years to come. this planet

which thou has given to us to be stewards over , well its a mess. its all a mess, our lives are a mess and we are lost without you and your son jesus our savior , who is coming soon , we pray. amen

strength is knowing that faith in god is a sure thing

faith is our way of saying we lack strength to do what is right all the time

wisdom , it comes from god from his mouth given to us so we may discern good from evil and understand what god wants us to do


proverbs 2; 6


lift your eyes up to heaven and ask for salvation, through the blood of the slain christ , who by the shedding of his blood, we have

recieved everlasting life , and by his stripes we are healed and made whole



praise god from who all blessing flow


its god's kingdom and you shall serve no other god but him

today is saturday the 26th of september and it is one very rainy cloudy day here in the central highlands of

north carolina. ive not written much lately due to an illness, rocky mountain spotted fever. . .

i was placed in the hospital and had a drug reaction which combined with the fever nearly ended my

life. i had a heart spasm during my stay , not quite a heart attack , but it sure felt like a heart attack to me.

any way, i survived to tell about it. and folks, injectable doxycycline in the liquid form hurts like hell when take in

an iv fashion it burns worse than hellfire .

so im home now, having missed the first two weeks of the hunting season i am still weak and fighting back to get my strength

back . i lost 23 lbs and still have the shakes in my left hand . for those folks who prayed for me, i appreciate it so much . i hope that

yaway blesses you and your families throughout the fall and winter months to come bubba
