Original S.O.E 12GA Shotgun Card

May 16, 2013June 23, 2022 James Burnette 4 Comments

I was watching some videos on YouTube the other day and saw a neat trick from James Yeager. He took some sticky back industrial strength Velcro and used it to attach an SOE shotgun card to his shot gun. My first thought was that thing looks super simple, I’ll just grab some Velcro and elastic and make a shotgun card. I figured it would be a nice DIY article. If you notice the title though this is not a DIY article but a review of the SOE card. That’s because my project failed miserably. The thread kept breaking in the Velcro. After a few hours of frustration I decided to order the SOE ones. When I saw the quality of the SOE ones I knew that ones I had tried to make would have been crap compared to them anyway. So instead today I’ll be reviewing the SOE 12 gauge card and how to make a quick and easy side saddle.

LaraBar ALT Bars

I got a surprise in the mail yesterday from the folks at LaraBar. They just launched a new line of bars called ALT. It’s the first bar’s they’ve released with added protein. Unlike other protein bars on the market they are using peas as a protein source. While these bars, unlike the regualr ones, these are not 100% paleo approved. The peas being legumes keep them from being paleo however they are still way more healthy that a cliff bar and delicious. The bars have 10g of protein, 9 ingredients, are Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Non-Gmo, Kosher and Vegan. With the facts down lets get down to the bars.

I follow YouTube freedom fighter Adam Kokesh on Facebook and saw his post a while back about forming an armed March on Washington D.C. I’ve followed it since then with a lot of curiosity. I initially formed some pretty negative thoughts about the concept. From watching more videos and reading about it I’ve begun to change my mind. Today I’ll share my thoughts on the event and what I think about it.

299 Days: The Collapse

May 9, 2013June 23, 2022 James Burnette

I just finished the second book in the 299 Days series and have already moved onto the third. For those that don’t know 299 Days is an epic book series written by Glen Tate about a collapse of the United States. Glen and the character Grant in the book both have an inside track into government corruption and wrong doings. The first book was back-story on Grant and his realization that things could and would go wrong. With his knowledge of a probable collapse he takes steps to ensure that his family is taken care of by becoming a survivalist in secret. Things are starting to break down at the end of the first book. The second is where the shit really starts hitting the fan and where this review will pick up for 299 days: The Collapse.

YouTube Star FPS Russia Raided By The ATF

May 8, 2013May 8, 2013 James Burnette 3 Comments

With 4 million YouTube subscribers I’m sure many of you know who FPS Russia is. For those that don’t know who Kyle “FPS Russia” Myers is he host a YouTube channel on firearms. He does the show with an obvious fake Russian accent while testing various weapons, and blowing lots of things up. There are usually several explosions in every episode. Which is the supposed reason for the raid. The Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) suspected him of using explosives “with malicious intent” because of the cars, fridges, mannequins and other objects regularly blown up on the channel.
