afternoon guys welcome back to the the yurt I'm glad to be back in here I've had quite a few things going on lately I had to shoot that survival adventure Network shoot which incidentally got posted to this channel because I'm having problems at YouTube right now I'm getting onto my survival adventure Network channel logging in so I had to get it to you guys so I posted on this channel knowing that everybody watched there anyway but so we had that shoot and I had to go this last weekend to the Indianapolis 1,500 gun a knife show so I've been pretty busy and I'm able to shoot a lot of video lately but I wanted to do a second part in the series stock-in-trade and I want to show you some of the things that I got this weekend both at the gun show and received in the mail while I was gone and kind of go over those things with you to show them to you a little bit so first let's talk real quick about the gun show you know when you go to these gun shows it's always good you know the Indy 1,500 and I met so many great people and you know just a lot of people that watch the videos and all I love the year series I love the long hunter series and you know that was just fantastic for me because it just tells me you know that that people are watching and I got a lot of good ideas from people about other videos other survival that's your Network scenarios and things to do in the future and I appreciate that guys I love all the feedback that I get from you guys um so when you're walking around these gun shows you know you're always looking for cool things or neat things or things that you want to add to your kit you know I'm pretty well stocked as far as firearms goes I really don't look for too many firearms unless it's just something special that jumps out at me that I want I'm always on the lookout for him six Scouts and incidentally I did see an m6 Scout at the show this weekend it had a scope on it it was a Czech Slovak in knockoff I think Springfield actually sent that gun over to Czechoslovakia for manufacture in the late 70s sometime or maybe early 80s when they quit making it a Springfield Armory and it's nearly now they've quit making it altogether but this is a checklist Avakian marked m6 Scout it was not a Springfield Armory and it was eight hundred and fifty dollars which is way way out of common man range you know as far as I'm concerned is probably the most bulletproof survival rifle that was ever made I have two of them myself I had three I gave one to my leader dr. Steve critter Davis but that for me the 12-gauge shotgun is the king but would I take a 12-gauge over my m6 Scout I'd be a hard choice you know the m6 is a pretty versatile gun especially with the gun adaptors calm thing going on now where I can shove another 20 to adapt during that bottom barrel shoot over/under 20 to 22 for a backup shot I can shoot 45 long colt or 410 shotgun out of the lower chamber so you know it's it's a pretty big toss-up but 12-gauge is going to kill anything there is and you can get so many adapters for it that I think it's just the bullet proof way to go they're cheap they're common man and so anyway I was looking around at the gun show this weekend I want to show you a few things that I picked up the first thing I picked up was just this battery holder pack it holds six triple-a batteries I picked this up from a buddy that actually carries our product as a flashlight dealer there and I just think it's a good idea I always try to keep a set of spare batteries in with my headlight in the bag so I've got my Petzel tack tikka headlight and now I've got six batteries I can put in there into you know a small pouch that doesn't take up a lot of room in my pack it has a drawstring on it and my spare batteries are always going to be there and I've got two sets and the thing was only a couple of bucks so I thought well that's a worthwhile investment because it keeps the battery separated you keep some in one place you always know where they're at fits right in my small pouch my pouch has got clip on it that we'll talk about here in a few minutes with another product that I got this weekend I want to show you but I just thought that was a pretty neat product and something good to have in your kit it doesn't cost a lot of money and it's safe space as far as jumbling up your batteries go it keeps them safe and I just think it's a good organizational item the next time that I picked up again going back to the 21st century long winter theme I picked up this bullet mold and this is pretty old I paid about thirty bucks for this so it wasn't something that I got real cheap but it is about I'm going to guess a 32 caliber ball mold maybe something like that you can see the size if I hold it up there to the side I think you kind of see the size of it and it's got a sprue cutter built into it very similar to what the 18th century 100 ball multi that they carried in their bags and this is very similar to that type of ball mold would fit in 18th century bag and be no problem as far as being period proper if that's what you want to call it some people are a little bit anal about that stuff but this is a good thing to carry in your bag if you're carrying

you know the 12-gauge for the fact that you want that versatility because now you have the ability to melt down lead that you come across or you find or you've got in your kit maybe it's sinkers or something like that or maybe it's smaller shot to make a 32 caliber round ball so now you can make buckshot you can also make shot for slingshot very easy with this like I said it's got a built-in sprue cutter to cut the sprue off the top where the the lead over drips on top of the mold itself and so for what the room that this takes up it's a very versatile item to have in your kit I can make sinkers with this if I needed to I can melt the lead down while they're still warm I could slice into them with a knife that put a slit in the middle of them baton it in there and then I have a split shot so you can do a lot with a mold like this doesn't take up a lot of room in your kit so I thought that was a really good Ivan I snatched it up instead I saw the other thing I picked up was just kind of a novelty item that I kind of liked so I picked it up I'm kind of a compass collector I like old type compasses and this is a reproduction it says the Mary Rose London 15 15 to 15 45 on the front of it and it's brass box and it has a compass inside of it very similar to what they use in the 18th century and it has a built in a built-in sundial on the top of it and it's bigger than the type compass is that most of re-enactors I used to know can hang around with carry it's bigger than that it's about the size of a skull 10 or a grizzly 10 but it's nice patina'd brass and I just thought it was kind of neat so I picked it up for my own personal kit I generally just deal with general direction anyway as far as a compass goes I don't worry too much about exact bearings unless I've got a map and then you know I also carry a small brass true Nord compass as well for just general direction I can just throw that right in my pocket real easier in my belt pouch pull it out check general direction and go this was just more of a novelty item the one thing I picked up that was a really good deal this weekend I thought was I found a guy who had a bunch of army wool sweaters and these are the old type wool sweaters that they issued in the army back in the late 70s and early 80s to the mid 80s and some of these are acrylic and some of them are hundred percent wool and you have to pay attention to what you're buying when you see these sweaters but I looked through what the guy had on his table then I picked out five that were extra-large and they say in them 100% wool okay and I asked the guy said what do you want for any sweaters and I was expecting to hear you know 20 or 30 bucks apiece because that's about what they saw for an eBay they're in really really good shape

two of them were brand spanking new the one I'm wearing now is brand spanking new and one other one look like they've never even been worn or issued this one's got a small hole in it right here on one of the neck areas so that up at two minutes no problem and one of them out a small hole down at the bottom in the part that gathers around your waist five bucks a piece I bought every one I had that was an extra-large at that price you know so for 25 bucks I got five sweaters for the price of one would cost me off eBay all of hundred percent wool you know you can't pass deals like that up the next thing that I want to show you is basically the shirt that I'm wearing and what this is I'll show you this companies card that they sent me it's called Empire wool and canvas company here's their card so you can look them up on the internet if you'd like I'll try to put a link on this video as well I saw my buddy Steve Davis my lead instructor Pathfinder school how to shirt on it's very similar to this if not exactly like this that he had purchased at dirt time 2010 and I had a guy send me a link to this company and said hey look at this shirt because it looks like it's bulletproof it's not common man priced by any means it's very expensive but it looks like it's bulletproof so I called these guys up and I looked at their website and you know they asked me I said do you want 8515 or do you 100% oh I said well I 100 percent wool and I think this is called like a boreal hunting shirt or a Boyle boreal bushcraft shirt it's a hundred percent wool it's got snaps on the cuff to close it down it's got ties up the top it's got a gather inside just like my aunt Iraq does it's got a big full hood on the back of it it does have a drawstring on the waist as well and inside the pockets you know it's very interesting it's cotton when these front pockets like a hoodie would have on it the only thing bad I've always not liked about those tight pockets is they're great for warming your hands they suck for putting stuff in because stuff seems to fall out of them well these guys have done some very special stuff with this it's got a divider inside of it and it's got actual pockets inside three places where you can actually put like your fire steel or something like that or your headlamp or whatever you want to put in there and it's also got two clips inside here that actually have d-rings on them so I can take my headlamp clip it to that d-ring stuff it in that pocket and I know there's no way I'm going to lose that headlamp and that's important to me I think from talking to these guys you know that they're so busy that they're like booked up for a year in advance I mean their season is like booked before it ever starts as far as how many shirts they can make so there's kind of a waiting list to get these things I was very fortunate when I talked to them they were like hey we'll just ship you one out I want you to try out and see what you think of it it's about 32 degrees today outside I do have a little sweater and this thing I'm in the yurt with no fire it's about 40 degrees in this year right now but I got to tell you I'm sweating boys this thing is hot I think this is probably one of the more bulletproof shirts that I've ever seen if not one of the most bulletproof wool shirts I've ever seen but like I said you know they are expensive but the craftsmanship on them is just unbelievable I mean they have nice steel grommets for island sent them both on the neckline and as well as on the waist for the drawstring areas of this thing and it's just a gorgeous made piece of gear so on you know again this empire and this is not an advertisement those guys necessarily I'm not getting anything out of this they're not paying me to advertise a product I just really want to show you guys when I find something that's bulletproof or bomb-proof I want you guys to know about it and if you can afford to buy one you know buy it once you'll never have to buy it again but again this is their company you know you can call these guys up and see what they've got to offer they make some beautiful stuff their work is fine the 100% wool so it's more expensive than the 85/15 but you know to me 100% wool is worth it every day all day so I wanted to kind of go over some of those things with you that I procured found got in the mail this weekend things like that and just make it quick video to let you guys know I'm back in the yurt your series is not over I'll be continuing things I'm going to do a video that's probably getting it posted before this one on the 9 inch rifled adapter for the 12-gauge that shoots nine millimeter thing is fantastic I can't wait to see what the other calibers are going to look like this thing is you know so accurate in my opinion I couldn't shoot a pistol in my mind I couldn't shoot a pistol as accurate as this thing is out of my 12-gauge by any means so I want you guys to see that as well but I'll be back with another video as soon as I can I'll be back then your video as soon as I can

we'll be doing more with the 21st century long letter series I appreciate your support I appreciate your time watching my videos I thank you for supporting survival adventure Network and watching those videos as well we'll be coming out with more of those we've got two scenarios that we're doing in February I wanted to kind of give you guys an update during this video as well so thank you for support it was I enjoyed meeting every one of you that I met at the Indy 1,500 gun a knife show this weekend took pictures with and things like that I had a great time so again thank you very much for your support thank you for everything you do for my family I appreciate you every day and that's why I keep coming back and putting out this information so you know let's all keep learning together and I appreciate you guys very much and I'll see on the next video you
