You click the link initially that is at the top of this thread and go from there.

Great! So what do you have to say about the vacuum sealing of it?

Yep, that's what I plan on putting on the loaded ammo.

Interesting. I knew the law of conservation of energy would apply but I did not realize that separating hydrogen from oxygen was so inefficient. Thanks!

Yeah, anyone with a bit of electricity can separate hydrogen and oxygen from water. Do it with solar and it would practically be free, although a small amount. http://m.wikihow.com/Make-Oxygen-and-Hydrogen-from-Water-Using-Electrolysis

For brass, loaded ammo, or both? Do you feel it is a good setup and worth it? I guess it makes good sense to double it for use in the kitchen.

Yeah I have been wanting that stove for a while but the thing I posted would be perfect for weekend ice storms, etc.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/265641170/kraftwerk-highly-innovative-portable-power-plant?ref=popular I will be buying these if they ever hit the market, work, and are affordable. Would be great for power outages and the like.

Yep:) Your SIM should be free and you'll have a bit leftover for service once you activate.

Order it:) It took I think 2-3 days for the SIM to get here. Don't forget a discount coupon! I will say that initially I was a bit disheartened because it appeared data was not working in my office location. It turned out that you have to setup the Ting APN manually. After that it went to working fine.

Sweet! So, I've been a long time Ting user at this point. As stated in the posts above, Ting has been piggybacking off of Sprint's CDMA network. Overall, I guess I could just summarize that Sprint's network isn't as great as Verizon's. It leaves a lot wanting, at least in my area. Fast forward until now (or the past's future!). Ting is now operating as both a GSM and CDMA carrier! They are using T-Mobile's network with roaming to AT&T. It is just beta now and you have to be invited. I activated my Nexus 5 on the GSM side today and so far I'm loving it. Signal strength is much better in my office at work. It is faster. It will offer Voice/Text roaming to AT&T, but you would not have data on AT&T's network. So ultimately I will just have to use it over the next few days/weeks to see how it goes with all the places I go. It will also be interesting to see what Google does with their upcoming MVNO.

  Odd. The .doc works for me. Perhaps it is because I saved it using Word 2013? That's why I included the .pdf, I figured it would offer less hassle.

So, since it is so frigid outside, I decided to kick myself into gear for reloading again. Part of the joy of reloading is the organization aspect of it. Now, I think know that I am probably more "OCD" than most on here regarding the storage of this stuff. So I am in the process of really revamping my setup!   So, I put together the following "sheet" of labels (uses Avery 5366 at ~$.02 a label):   the .doc can be edited by you, I created the .pdf for those that may not have Microsoft Word installed. These cover the common calibers that I collect, I am providing them just as a starting point for you!   Labels .doc Labels .pdf   Now, in my "preparation" process I have three steps:   1) Sorting 2) Depriming (using Lee Precision Decapping Die) 3) Tumbling   Thus, my label use order obviously is "Unprocessed", "De-primed", and then "Tumbled". Depending on your order, I could see how some of you would instead go "Unprocessed", "Tumbled", and then "De-primed".   Now, I am considering purchasing something like Brother PC Connectable Labeling System (PT2730). However, I don't really even know if that would be worth it other than possibly more durable labels. So that is on the last of the list as a possibility. I will probably end up sticking with the Avery 5366 until I have a reason to purchase a label maker.   Now, I have various little bins and bags for sorting and processing the brass. What I'm interested in are methods for bulk storing large amounts of brass long term.   My current thoughts are to either buy a vacuum sealer or possibly just a bag sealer like this one:   8" (200mm) Impulse Manual Bag Sealer Heat Seal Closer + Free KIT   You can buy different size bags and then use that sealer to heat seal the open edge. Or I may just go with Ziploc bags. But the idea of heat sealing them sounds fun! This would also double as an excellent way (I presume) to store loaded ammo in little bags of 100.   After they are bagged I'm thinking of putting them into some sort of cardboard boxes. That's something that is stackable easily and can be easily sealed (with packaging tape) and then labeled accordingly (example: 9mm NATO, 5000 pieces). All of the brass that goes into this form of storage will be ready to be loaded.   Now, some of this is mainly for brass that I plan on reloading someday but have no use for currently. I guess to a certain extent I just wanted to create an interesting project to go along with reloading/storage. Of course I already have some of the cheap $.79 containers from target that I use for sorting/processing, but they spill when you drop them and the lid pops off. That's why I am considering something a bit more robust and flexible.   I could skip the process of bagging the brass for storage if the consensus is that the possibility of the cardboard absorbing moisture and then tarnishing the brass long term is not an issue. Here I am talking about possibly years worth of storage until I buy a firearm of that caliber.   (as a sidenote, if the "JUNK NOBODY USES" label insults you because you may use a caliber that is not on my sheet, please understand that I created that label because of people like you that use .32 S&W L or something like that. Yes, I will pick your brass up at the range, decap it, and then store/sell it, but I just cannot bring myself to throw it away. Thus, I needed a label.)   (as a sidenote II, "SCRAP BRASS" is primarily .22lr and then casings that are damaged. I don't yet know whether it will actually even be worth the time, but currently I am taking any brass casings that I nor anyone else can reload and sticking them in here. Theoretically someday I will take them to be scrapped. Research shows it should bring $.80+ a pound. So if I save up 50lbs of it, I could get $40 for it. Guess I prefer this to just trashing it since it takes equal amount of time to place it in the "SCRAP BRASS" container as it is to trash it.)   So, what are your thoughts and ideas?    

  I would think so, but how would you propose to go about legally videotaping someone on their own property without trespassing? If they are not visible from public areas, I think it would almost be a wash.

  Talk to Voldmort...if he can even still own a gun or carry one. I'm sure he'd love to give it a try!

  Well that is dissapointing.

Great! Might I add, SOG was great for me a month ago. I had an old knife I didn't use. The pocket clip had literally bent part of the knife handle. I sent it to them via whatever shipping method I wanted. Two weeks later I had a new knife.   They even honored my request of replacing the serrated blade with a plain edge.   Now, Benchmade is an American made company, but I was every bit as happy that SOG honored their "warranty" for such an old knife.

Kindle Vigor...   Or at least that's what I'm calling it. I have finally put my thoughts on paper (well, digital paper) of what I would like to see from Amazon in the form of a Kindle.   http://www.amazon.com/forum/kindle/ref=cm_cd_et_up_redir?_encoding=UTF8&cdForum=Fx1D7SY3BVSESG&cdPage=1&cdThread=Tx3O4L20LH2AASA&newContentID=Mx39N0EABH1GUIA#Mx39N0EABH1GUIA   I'd just like to see something like this or better manufactured. Was hoping for some input/support from others that would like to see a durable Kindle added to the mix.   Feel free to chime in!

  Yeah, I've been thinking about this one all day. There are quite a few different videos of some guy holding a camera to record "something". The chances of people randomly sticking cameras that direction at the right time starting and starting the recording before it happened?   Slim   What I figured happened was shelling/rockets (as reported by some) were going on. Loud noises in that direction were being heard so many pulled out their phones in hopes of catching something. They got more than they hoped for when one of the shells/rockets hit that plant. Just my take on it. Maybe there are more facts that suggest something else.

Does anyone else recall a week or two ago about the story of the Russian spies that were found "manipulating and possibly attempting to crash the American economy"?   http://www.economist.com/news/united-states/21641284-how-fbi-claims-have-caught-putins-spooks-new-york-unearthing-moscows-moles   EDIT: Just going by what I heard off the radio when the story "broke".

As if it were actually a dropped cigarette anyone would be around to tell us about it?

This is as close as I could find: https://lightontruth.wordpress.com/2015/02/09/obama-fed-reserve-backing-ex-jpmorgan-executive-start-a-new-digital-currency-in-america/ https://www.circle.com/en Circle, from what I can tell, is just another Bitcoin trading system. OR https://www.stellar.org/ That may be what you are talking about.

Ok, so I don't know what it was, but it does appear believable as candle tanterns to me. I think it was last year I walked outside just at dusk and saw these very bright lights in the sky. They were moving very, very quickly at a very high altitutde. They were also They were moving and swaying in their path, appearing as if they could had a mind of their own. I jumped in the car and followed them to their source, sure enough, they were the candle lanterns. Candle lanterns can last a very long time and at night be seen for many, many miles.

P-01 or PCR (both 75 based) are great for carry. I carried the P-01 for over a year as my first carry gun before I chickened out and went Glock-side on everyone. I still miss that firearm. It was very, very nice. I still think that the CZ-75 is the best looking and nicest 9mm handgun on the market. That being said, I like Glocks for the following reasons: Ease of parts replacement Parts availibility Accessories/Holsters availibility Cost Weight Magazine design/capacity/availibilty/cost That being said, the CZ's are typically just as realiable (truthfully, my CZ P-01 never malfuncitoned, not once. I have had several different Glocks give me an issue here or there. I consider them equal in reliablity. I used to always like the 92fs. I owned one and then decided to sell it and buy the P-01 for carry. It was great. Sold it for the Glock 19. That being said, I have never missed a firearm as much as the P-01. I still get butterflies in my stomach when thinking about the CZ-75 stainless limited: http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2012/02/elijah-savage/gun-review-cz-75b-limited-edition/ Personally, I like the decocker models although you can carry the safety models with the hammer down. It's the part about letting the hammer down on a loaded chamber that made me appreciate and go with the decocker model. Buy one. If you don't like it, I'll give you 75% of your cashback for it;)
