Quite the confab! I heard that Freeze Dry Guy, the staff of the Paratus Familia blog, Chris Walsh of Revolutionary Realty, Joe Snuffy (author of Suburban Survival: Preparing for Socio-Economic Collapse) and John Jacob Schmidt of Radio Free Redoubt will all have tables or booths at the upcoming Patriots and Self-Reliance Rally at Farragut State Park, near Coeur d’Alene, Idaho on July 26, 27 & 28, 2013. Among the many speakers will be three names that should be familiar to SurvivalBlog readers: Pastor Chuck Baldwin, Stewart Rhodes (of Oath Keepers), and Cope Reynolds of Southwest Shooting Authority. (Cope was one of the locale advisors for my novel Survivors. And you may recall that I’ve previously mentioned in the blog that he does fantastic Glock grip reduction/stippling work and that he makes a nifty Glock dry fire-only safety training trigger. )

This company in Sandpoint, Idaho recently made some headlines: Intelliscope Announces Tactical Rifle Adaptor and iOS App. (Thanks to Tom L. for the link.)

I heard about an ammunition manufacturer in Montana dedicated to providing ammo to private citizens: Patriot Firearms and Munitions. They do not sell to any government agencies. Because they make their own jacketed bullets they are not as dependent on third party suppliers as most other ammo makers. Not only do they sell re-manufactured and new ammo, they also have a program where clients send them their brass and they recondition, clean, process and reload it for them. This save customers money because they do not have to pay for the brass (because it’s theirs) and it eliminates the 11% Federal Excise tax that otherwise levied on ammunition at the manufacturer level and then passed on to end purchasers as a hidden tax.

Apparently, it is true what they say about people who use the Comic Sans font: An American Redoubt coin being sold for $3,800. Idealistischen träumen!

Some great eastern Washington scenery is shown in the latest Ttabs flying video: Coming Up For Air. (OBTW, it appears that he does not yet have a full set of cameras mounted on his new kite — an Air Creation 100 horsepower Tanarg. His videos will surely get better and better.)
