Add #10 can vacuum-packing and green coffee beans (ready to roast) have the same life as yuppie freeze dried food in #10 cans (30+ years). Commercial vacuum packed coffee doesn't really go bad, but it never was good. I prefer instant crystals to cheap canned coffee, esp. $2.99 8oz Kroger PSSST! brand (in glass jar!) from Germany. Quality is at least as good as $12 Nestle instant. Instant coffee is "weaponized" for troops in the field, with their accurate rifles, waiting in bushes.

WHO TO SAVE" from Bison book batch #1, It reminded me when I was at the local militia meet and I asked the "commander " what the plan was for when S.H.T.F., he stated that everyone was going to meet up here at the designated training site and dig in....I asked who "everyone" was, he stated that it was all of us and our families as well as close friends and their families.....I asked him who was going to feed all of these people? He told me they have stock supplies,<br />Now I imagined that after the lights go out for good, a shit load of deralics would show up at this place, set up a bunch of lawn chairs and wait for the buffet to get set up, and when the feeding frenzy went on for a week and all of the " supplies" were used up, there would be a shit load of pissed off and hungery deralics roaming around the " designated training site", not a place I wanted to be, and a main type of place I wanted to avoid, I will take my chances with the random crazed masses that may come to my place rather then certain Reapocalypse at the place you are supposed to go to after the designated Apocalypse in the first place. I just do not understand how short sighted people are when it comes to basic logistics, I do not see these people surviving more then a couple of months after that there will be so much infighting that they will be killed off by the own internal crazed masses they swore to defend themselves from in the first place.

Nobody move no hands where I can see them ! ;)<br /><br />In this video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYX4Ce6vzHw )about a Viet-Nam era dedicated sniper rifle you will see a free-floating scope. Now I know several people had their scopes destroyed internally because of the sharp recoil of their weapons, espeically the .222 and .223 weapons (very sharp, snappy recoil). Even pricey scopes. This solution is evidently superior and is meant for the long term, back in those days scopes were indeed quite expensive.<br /><br />Now maybe these flee-floating scopes still exist but I never heard of them. Also, notice it is somewhat easier to do this free-floating mounts by yourself, in opposition to the actual situation where you can't do anything inside the scope apart from damaging them.<br /><br />This is a prime example of an economical, no-nonsense solution that would actually be quite cheap (a fixed non-adjustable scope would be the cheapest and most rugged piece of equipment). <br /><br />I also liked the fact that he compared the usefulness of a scoped rifle to that of a light machine gun :)Avehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06508223217305671728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-57282693861621275872017-04-04T08:28:03.226-07:002017-04-04T08:28:03.226-07:00I was shopping for coffee the other day.

Green beans online as cheap as 3.99 plus shipping. I bought and tested a bunch of different beans and roast...they all taste the same to me. Get the cheap stuff. There is a taste in good coffee I've been chasing for years. Ground a wide variety, and bought every different brand. To no avail. Darn that was good coffee. I found it at a breakfast joint deep in the sawtooth mountains after spending the weekend camping with this pretty little thing I ended up marrying. Go figure.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02036092622549367667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-28321463838067184152017-04-04T07:32:32.422-07:002017-04-04T07:32:32.422-07:00Just a comment on coffee, this from the minion tha...Just a comment on coffee, this from the minion that sent you fancy coffee several years ago. Vacuum packed coffee that is kept sealed should taste as good (or bad) as it always was, for many years. I love my fresh ground from fresh roasted bean coffee, but I have vacuum packed for the day I can't get or afford the "good" stuff. solarmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06003692871460203126noreply@blogger.com
