How to make your Thermacell cartridges refillable

Here is a quick and easy way to make your thermacell cartridges refillable. This will save a lot of money as you will not have to spend a bunch of money to get new cartrdiges, when with a little hack you can refill them youself. 

You only need a few things 

 

Take the lighter and remove the gas container. Using the dremel tool, carfully grind down some of the plastic but do not go too far. Try to remove the end that allows you to refill the lighter. 

Once you have the valve removed from the lighter, drill a small hole in the bottom of your thermacell cartrdige with a 7/32 drill bit. Once you have the hole in there, there will be a small metal bb that you want to remove. I am not sure why, not sure if this will prevent the gas from coming out the top valve or not?

Once you have a hole in the bottom of the cartdrige, mix up some of your epoxy and spread some on the sides of the valve that you remvoed and on the inside of the opening you drilled out. 

Place the valve inside and then add a good amount of epoxy around the valve on the bottom of the cartridge to ensure a good seal. Let this sit for 24 hours. 

After 24 hours you should be able to fill up the cartridge and now you can spend a LOT less money on butane that will fill 4 or 5 cartridges!

The Jason Stapleton Program - 532: American Saber Rattling Signals War on Horizon

This is another podcast from one of the many podcasts that I like to listen to. This one is from the Jason Stapleton Program, definately worth a listen!

532: American Saber Rattling Signals War on Horizon



"

In the wake of the supreme court nomination and the riots at UC Berkeley, you might have missed the comments by National Security Advisor Michael Flynn who put Iran on notice after its recent ballistic missile test.

The announcement comes on the heels of a statement by Iran that it would abandon the U.S. dollar in all financial and foreign exchange reports, a move that will no doubt put the dollar conspiracy theorists into a frenzy.

****
We'll also discuss the group of left-wing regressive extremists who took to the campus of UC Berkeley to protest the speech of Milo Yiannopoulos. It's symbolic of what progressivism has become, a form of fascism that sees no moral hypocrisy in using violence to silence what they deem as hate speech while screaming profanity and hate filled rhetoric into a megaphone. In typical fashion, the police were on the scene but did nothing to prevent the riots or arrest those involved.

Auto Backup files and settings on your Android Phone

So,

 A while ago I did a post about this app that I use on my android phone called Drive Sync - http://www.techlibertyblog.com/index.cfm/2017/1/4/Backup-files-and-folders-in-Android-to-Google-Drive.   I have a really good use for this program besides for the ones that I had specified in the last post. Recently I had dropped my cellphone in the water and it died. Luckily I had all my photos backedup, as well as most of my media but I did not have my app settings backed up.

This program if I would have thouth ahead could have saved all my settings on all my apps that have automatic preferences backed up for my apps (some have this, the other ones I could have just saved to a folder or something), but if I would have had this setup, all my preferences for all the applications that I use quite a bit could have been backedup. I could have all the important stuff that if I were to lose my phone, what would I want backedup to my Google Drive account, to which I could have backed up all my settings easily. I also could have backed up the settings for the app that backs up the settings to make everything fairly self sufficient.

I always said that I would never drop my phone into the water as I was careful, but the otterbox holster that I had it on had started to wear away and it was not as secure as it should have been.

Some may say that there is nothing on their phone that they cannot live without, while some of that may be true, if you really feel that way lock your phone away and go without it for a few days and see what you really "need". Find those and back the settings up so that if something bad happens, you have everything backed up!

Democrats Questioning Federal Authority



"Democrats Questioning Federal Authority02/01/2017 -

Politics can make for good entertainment at times. It would seem as if the Democrats have suddenly taken up the cause of executive orders and their Constitutional validity. I’m not sure Trump has used his pen and his phone together yet, as Obama did, but it does make one wonder what these same democrats were […]

531: Big Brother Fights to Control the Narrative



"

With the nomination of Neil Gorsuch to fill the vacancy left by the death of Antonin Scalia, the battle lines in Washington have been drawn.

Even before Trumps pick was announced, Democrats were lining up in open opposition to whoever was chosen. Today, Republicans voted to change the rules to push forward the nominations of the HHS Secretary and Treasury Secretary after Democrats refused to attend the committee meeting, preventing a vote from taking place.

The Blaze is also reporting the White House has put a ban on spokespeople speaking to CNN claiming the network, "doesn't help them spread their message."

The battle lines have been drawn. Today I'm going to explain what's happening on Capitol Hill. Rumors and allegations are flying, and I'm going to separate the truth from the lies.

Alien Gear Gun Belt Review

Today I am going to review the Alien Gear Gun Belt, to which works nicely with the Alien Gear Gun Holster (see my review at - http://www.techlibertyblog.com/index.cfm/2017/1/30/Holster-review-2--Alien-Gear-Holsters)

 

 

 

 

These belts are big, they are thick and they are sturdy. The hardware on them is very nicely made and it definately has a feeling of actual metal and not some chrome finished fake metal stuff that you usually find on belts. 

These are not your typical belts that you can find at the local store, they are much more than that. They have a steel core in the middle, which is sewn between 2 slabs of thick sturdy leather. Even if you do not have a gun to carry, but you want a nice thick sturdy belt, these are the way to go s they will get the job done and then some. 

I put this belt up to the test with my holster with a gun in it and 2 other belts and the other belts were twisting really bad compared to this one. There was some twist in the Gun Belt, but nothing compared to the twist of the other ones. The 2 other ones that I had used were not belts out of the bargain bag from the store either. 

You can find the belts on their website at http://aliengearholsters.com/alien-gear-gun-belt.html

The belts cost $59.88 for the starting price and if you buy a holster with it, the price of belt goes down to $44.88, which to me is a great deal. 

I bought 2 of the belts with the holster deal back in June of 2016 and I wear them quite often. With most belts that I have owned, they start to stretch out after a few months of wearing them, especially if you carry a gun with you and you dont want your pants sagging down. With this gun belt, I have not noticed any stretching at all, possiblly due to the steel core and the 2 thick slabs of leather that is sewn on both sides of the steel core. 

I feel that these belts are definately worth the money. 

Just wanted to state, since I did not in the video that I am not getting paid by Alien Gear for this review. They just make a good product and wanted to do a review on it.

Holster review 2 - Alien Gear Holsters

Here is my review on the Alien Gear IWB cloak tuck 3.0 holster.

I did a review a while ago on a few holsters that I have used either currently or in the past, to which that review can be found at http://www.techlibertyblog.com/index.cfm/2016/12/23/Holster-Review

This time I took a bit more look at the Alien Gear holsters, to which I now have a few of them (both right and left handed holsters) and the later ones have improvements over the first cloak tuck 3.0. In the first review I had mentioned that the clips were a bit flimsy, and to my surprise, Alien Gear commented on the video stating that they have made their clips much stronger now and that I can contact their suport department to get new clips.. How awesome is that!

In this video I had mentioned that the shipping on the first holsters had take a while to get to me, to which I have ordered from them a few times since then and have never had that issue again. I think that was an isolated incident to where they were experiencing a large influx of orders. 

The holsters are very sturdy, I carry them all the time and they are the ones that I use. I will swap between 2 of them depending on what I want to carry that day, but they all get worn for at least 8 hours if not more and they also get worn when I am out hunting. 

Some holsters that I have used are very uncomfortable, but these are definately comfortable as some times I dont even know that I am carrying my gun on me. 

One thing that I like is that you can buy a single holster and buy additional "shells" for your holster so that one single holster with additional shells can work for many different types of guns. Some of the other things that they sell for the holsters are :

The one thing that I completely forgot to mention in the first part of the video, but is in the 2nd part, is that you can adjust the height of the holster as there are 3 holes on each side. If you want it to rest higher or lower, all you need to do is remove the clip and put it into the height that fits your needs. Not only can you adjust either the front height, the back height, the total height but you can also adjust the retention of the shell as well. They provide additiaonl rubber washers to where you can completely adjust the retention of the shell to fit your needs. These holsters are not only comfortable, but they are 100% customizable. 

If you head over to their homepage http://aliengearholsters.com, you can see about 1/4 the way down they have some animated graphics on to what this all looks like and to what you can adjust. 

They just start to carry magazine holsters, to which I had wished that their holsters had them built in, but to now have a good IWB magazine holster is great to which I may buy one soon and if I do, I will do a review on that. I will also do a review on the gun belt that I bought from Alien gear as well. 

They have a deal on their website that starts at $48.00 for 2 holsters and the price goes up for what additions that you make to them, to which I see as a great deal. I cannot go into most gun stores and buy a cheap holster for the price that Alien Gear is charging for 2 of them. 

The holsters that I have reviewed from Alien Gear have all been IWB or Inside the Waist Band, they do carry OWB or Outside the Waist Band holsters also
