Goex, back in business

[TDM]

That’s a good idea because most certainly that day will come.

No funeral because they are an inconvenience to everyone, just roll my ashes up with a bunch of 3F and fire me through my 1861 Springfield into the woods somewhere

I live in a medium sized town but my parents house is my "fall back point " since it is out in the middle of nowhere. I tell them , I'll bring the food and you keep the ammo and "real" guns here

Unfortunately if I have to bug out , the "goblins" will get into my safe and arm themselves with various muskets , muzzleloading rifles and a bunch of cap and ballers but I'll hide the caps really good so they can't easily load anything

If they come out to where I'm at I'll get my stuff back later , when looters armed with Parker-Hale Enfields are found laying in the woods

Just pull the nipples on them all but leave some caps and let them try to figure it out

We live in about the perfect shtf friendly place surrounded by a few hundred thousand acres of wilderness. Let me tell you I pray nothing like that ever happens to our country, our world. We’d be fine but life would become so much harder than people really believe. My grandparents and parents lived the Great Depression, land rich and cash poor. It’s true what they say about hard times making strong people. Very few Americans born in the last few decades understand what shtf would mean.

And yeah the only good reason to hoard Blackpowder is to shoot it up with friends and family.

I've always thought that those "bug out" guns people talk about won't really come in handy. Any really bad disaster short of a total nuke war will always have some authorities of some type herding people to shelters; no one will be able to carry arms of any type, as the police or military will screen for them. If something really bad happens, like a nuke war, where there simply is no authority, that's where the "bugout" will be necessary. Your wilderness location is different than those of us that live near crowded "civilized" cities, though. Up there, you have your own rules to follow. BTW, the Ukrainians are currently living thru SHTF! Winter, no heat, no big box stores, no electricity. We can't imagine that here. Your neighborhood sounds beautiful, but you need special skills us city-folk don't have! Good luck, this is the greatest Country, that's why thousands are coming here every day in droves.

That sounds painful!!!

If anyone hears of Olde Eynsford being resurrected by the new GOEX plant, I am interested in going in on a single large purchase with other buyers in central PA. I can use about 5 pounds of 1.5F. Thank you.

Could you imagine the fire works if his house caught fire??

I was attending a work training course at the fire brigade training center a few years back and I asked one of the trainer what they would do if they rolled up at my place and I told then that there was a safe (required by law here) filled with mixed propellant and black powder. in the house. He said they would break the nearest window. put a fixed hose in it and evacuate the neighbors. Then would sit back and watch my house burn down, and hope it didn't blow up.

The last Swiss I bought was $7.50/lb.

The last WANO I bought was $150/kilo. That's 2.2lb

How much product does a hoarder have to buy before it became scarce to qualify?

A real hoarder would never consider selling.

toilet paper, just think toilet paper.

 

[SwanShot]

OMG! You Sold powder and caps to a friend Without an 'explosive license'?!?
Shame On You, Shame, Shame, Shame!

Same here, No I did not sell him any powder, I gave it to him. If, at some indeterminate time he gave me some money, he was just helping me out. That's what friends do.

 

[SwanShot]

Will the new powder from GOEX be better than the old powder? And will it be more expensive to purchase?

Expensive, yes, that you can count on.

Still say if they don't bring back Old Eynsford, a distillery needs to buy the name and slap the label on a good bonded single barrel rye whiskey. Old Eynsford might be a cousin of Evan Williams or Old Overholt.

Told the crew at my old station to list my place as a “Surround & Drown” (Outside & defensive only). I can live with losing everything as long as none of my brother/sisters are hurt fighting the fire.

Olde Eynsford is an excellent trademark. You are right, it is evocative of more than gunpowder. Could be whiskey, snake oil, leather treatment. You’ve got me curious about how GOEX even arrived at this name in the first place. Could have been your whisky, Gunny! Anyone know?

 

[sdilts]

The name is a contraction for Gerhart-Owen Explosives.

How about the Olde Eynsford name? Any lead on this? Thank you

Good to know about the GOEX name, but he was curious about the name Old Eynsford. There is a town named Eynsford in Kent, England, and one of the oldest Norman castles name is Eynsford.
