Since we have no access to real MAPP gas or solid fuel breach cartridges now, I and several other guys here carry THERMAL LANCES in our work and bugout kits. They are 2 feet long steel brake lines or steel arrow shafts stuffed with steel wool down their cores and fitted onto the end of an oxypropane torch gun and fired by these 1oz portable O2 brazing canisters. Light the steel wool at the business end with a regular lighter and once the flame takes, turn on the O2 flow and adjust until you get a spearhead shaped, blinding white-purplish flame burning absolutely clean with almost no smoke. That is a 7800°F breaching jet capable of cutting through ANY obstacle in an emergency. Careful, that flame is emitting a lot of energy in the UV spectrum so try to minimize your skin and eye exposure to it if you are using in an energency with no protective gear. When we are using ours at work to cut various metal stuff at worksites, all precautions pertaining to welding applies. A simple thermal lance is enough to let you get people to safety through a previously barricaded area in the event of a fire, flash flood, or active shooter situation. And just based on normal current events, it seems that a breaching tool like a thermal lance should belong in every able person's survival kit and a converted torch kit is small enough to fit into a niche in any work duffel or tactical backpack. A 1oz O2 cylinder will give you enough oxy for 5 minutes of full powered blasts and each arrow shaft "fuel cartridge" will give you decent enough burn time depending on your O2 flow that will be sufficient to cut a window right around the lock mechanism of a commercial walk in freezer like the one an Arby's manager was accidentally trapped in and froze to death last year. Just be aware that the fuel rod is burning downward at a steady pace and when it reaches about 2 inches from the torch head, discard and replace with a new rod so your torch doesn't get damaged.



These work. We used them to cut 90 to 115 lb rail when stripping out old tunnels. A lot of cuts were done under a foot or so of water. Takes a little practice but you pick it up pretty quick. If the bolts stayed under water we could just unbolt them (cheaper). If the water level covered and uncovered the bolts over the years they were rusted solid and we had to cut the fish-plates or the rail.

Thank you,

I have seen a incredible amount of stupidity at boat launches , But have never seen that particular insanity! WOW!!


Dude saw that scene in Captain America: Civil War where Captain America stops a helicopter from taking off by wrapping one arm around one of the chopper's skids and the other arm around a roof railing and probably thought somebody who is not a superhero can do it too... 😂
 
Picking up square grouper out of the ocean can get you dead, the Medellin and Cali kids don’t play when it comes to that shit!
A great film made on this concept

Hank Mitchell and his pregnant wife Sarah live in rural Wright County, Minnesota. One of the town's few college graduates, Hank works as a bookkeeper at a feed mill, while Sarah is a librarian. Hank, his dim-witted older brother Jacob, and their friend Lou Chambers, chase a fox into the woods and stumble upon a crashed airplane. Hank decides to look inside, where he discovers a dead man and a bag containing $4.4 million in $100 bills. He suggests turning the money in, but Lou and Jacob persuade him not to. Hank then proposes that he keep the money safe at his house until spring thaw when the snow will melt and the plane will be found. At that point, if missing money isn’t raised, they will divide their shares and move away.
 
That’s called stalking in most states. I’m sure she would go on a date with you if you just knocked on the door and asked. Maybe pretend to be a bible salesman

Me: Looking all around the kitty to see if there is a pair of ILF recurve bow limbs packed in bubblewrap behind her... 😂
 
What bow do you shoot? Do you hunt with a recurve?
