REVIEW

Corona Corn Grinder

Two is one and one is none.  Whether we are talking about a third generation night vision scope, an assault or battle rifle, or a $400 grain grinder, you can’t just have one.  If you only buy the best and the best breaks and you don’t have a back-up because you only bought the best and hence can’t afford another one, you are a moron.  A soon to be dead moron, which sucks if you are you but which is great for the rest of us as you and your defective DNA are soon removed from the gene pool.  Only buy the best you can afford two of, not the best of all.  So, forget the best grain grinder.  Go with the Pretty Darn Good grain grinder, the Made In Mexico or Made In Columbia corn grinder the Corona brand.  Do NOT buy cheaply made quality compromised crap from China.  Corona has been made for decades down in Latin America and is a quality brand sold affordably to peasant families.

The grain eaten by most Latinos of modest means is corn.  Corn is in my opinion the crack whore of the grain family, better than nothing and deficient in many ways.  And a corn grinder is NOT the same as a wheat grinding mill.  But no matter, you can easily mill wheat in a corn mill with a bit extra work.  A little more work and you save 90% over a wheat grinder.  A corn grinder will mill wheat kernels if you run it through three times.  First on course grind ( the wheels set far apart ), then on middlin ( wheels closer together ) and then on fine ( wheels just apart from touching.  Do NOT run anything through a mill with the wheels touching as you will grind metal into your flour ).  That is all there is to it.  And Corona brand, available for around $40 after shipping at Amazon ( search under CORN GRINDER or Corn Mill, NOT grain grinder or wheat grinder.  Or, just go to my blog page or web page for an easy graphic ad to click on ), is your best bet on affordable quality.  When I was a young lad of ten I was chained to the table grinding the weeks worth of flour for all our bread, and if a skinny young punk can grind lots of kernels through a manual primitive grinder, so can anyone else unless you are like ninety or so.  And if you are that old you shouldn’t be trying to survive the Apocalypse.  Remember the 80/20 rule.  Eighty percent of the function of a more expensive tool, but at 20% of the price.  Don’t buy any other kind of grinder.  Buy a Corona.  Just remember the brand of beer.

Wool Blankets

Punk ass whiny bitches don’t like wool.  Oh, it’s SOOOOO itchy, merciful sakes and heavens to Betsy!!!!  Do you know how easy it is to stop wool from itching?  Wear a friggin cotton item underneath it.  Duh!  A poly beanie, then a wool beanie over that.  A long sleeve T-shirt under a wool sweater.  Etcetera.  And since wool blankets go OVER cotton sheets, what’s the damn problem?  Wool cannot be beat by any synthetic material in terms of affordability and performance.  It doesn’t catch fire like synthetics.  It is far warmer ( except for down.  But then, fur is even warmer.  It is also natural like wool, so I should say any natural method is FAR superior to synthetics ).  It can get wet without insulating performance being downgraded.  It is a technology that will transfer seamlessly into the Apocalypse, unlike synthetics.

You must have wool.  Period.  Yes, most blankets will be a blend, not 100% ( you can easily find 100% wool in caps and sweaters and mittens, but for some reason almost never in wool.  And if you do find it in wool, the price is insane.  Better to buy a blend for $20 than an all natural for $200.  2 is 1 and 1 is None, remember? ).  But far better than anything not wool, so no matter.  Surprisingly,  Amazon really doesn’t have many deals on wool blankets.  You can’t beat the deals from

www.sportsmansguide.com

In fact, if Sportsman’s carries it, odds are you won’t beat the price anywhere else.  And the quality, while not Top Tier, is middle of the pack, NOT crap quality.  I recommend this company for ammunition and all winter gear, plus for most surplus gear.  The selection is always changing, so never hesitate to buy when you find a good deal.  I just bought a half dozen brand new Swiss military wool blankets for $17 each, and I got free shipping due to e-mail offers you get as a club member and regular customer.  The great thing about them is that they are over four pounds each.  This is a Must Have feature.  If a wool blanket doesn’t list the weight, do NOT buy it.  A two and a half pound blanket is far less warm than a four pound one ( yes, there is the total size to factor in also, but the weight is a good general guideline ).  Also beware the cheap $5 “emergency” blankets.  Far less wool, and cheaply held together, they are almost a one use throw away item.  Long gone are the quality $5 wool blankets they were selling ten years ago.  Now, if it is under $15, careful.  Research properly. 

*

With a dozen wool blankets in storage, you are completely good to go for power outages and grid down situations.  With suitable insulation underneath, and one to three wool blankets over you ( along with a down comforter, but more on that in its own review ), you can sleep soundly with the INSIDE temperature at twenty degrees Fahrenheit or lower.  Wool blankets.  Only jungle dwellers or optimistic morons refuse to stock them.
