|Propper®| is the brand for every Minuteman, Survivalist, Bad Vietnam Wannabe (?) ever.
Many moons ago, when I wanted my "tactical functionality with a value-conscious design", I would usually head to a thrift store, or an army/navy surplus joint. (Shit, do they even have those anymore?)
Also, my old stomping grounds– I was a teenager and was irritated when one of the 'punk' idiots of our group tried to piss on the |eternal flame|. (I'm not sure why– I hated everything at the time. But I knew that was wrong. Also, I knew his idiocy did no damage…)
They're still here, and Sierra Vista. Last time I was in one was back when working for the big rich naturedotorg, when the prescribed fire program began and we were told we needed to get some
[ well, most ] of our own gear. Web belt , canteens, and a small pack that also hooked onto the belt, I got from Millers. https://www.yelp.com/search?find_desc=Military+Su…
Abq has a surplus store with "PREPPER SUPPLIES" printed on the sign
I just realized, maybe it's for 'Preppers'.
Or Dr. Prepper.
Last time I shot a pistol, I was 9. (The sound didn't bother me, I just couldn't hit the target.) It didn't excite me. I wanted to appease my father. Honestly, I just wanted to go home and do something else, not look through a tiny notch with my grossly nearsighted eyes . It was a weird 'exercise' for me. Never again.
Sad – none in my waist size.
With nine pockets, an action-stretch waistband, extra-large belt loops, you can carry your gear in comfort. The seat and knees are reinforced for extra durability, while still allowing the addition of knee pads. Belt is not included.
Belt is not included?! There's nine fucking pockets, and an armageddon here!
Just the other day I discovered the difference between denim and canvas pants. Denim stretches enough to button over my gut, canvas in the same waist size does not.
Back in the day, (1994), I bought a pair of button-fly jeans from a thrift store in Hamilton, Ohio. (I was just transplanted there from Philly- it was culture shock.) I can't tell you how many guys asked me if I chewed because of the noticeable Skoal ring on the back pocket. (I was poor, and the jeans fit well. Why are you looking at my ass, anyway? Asshole.) I didn't even know there was a name for that back then.. Really–I'd beat some guys at pool and they'd go, "I can see you chew. You're a lezbeen." (and mock blow kisses at me.) "I like blondes, your friend is a redhead, but what would I call you? You're a blackhead!. Haaa!."
I'm amazed I made it out of that town alive.
(Actually, there was one guy–"Big O" that seemed to soften the atmosphere every time his big fat happy ass walked in the bar I used to frequent. He was the Norm of the joint. I found out later in court* that his name was Oliver. I'm grateful for him, as he seemed to hold leverage over most of the many misogynist pieces of shit in the room– really, O would say my shot was a "damn good shot", and the mustachioed freaks he [presumably] grew up with wouldn't say a word.) It was really weird. (All while Confederate Railroad "Trashy Women" was blaring on the jukebox.)
I went back to the thrift store I once worked at to get jeans that wouldn't set off a strange, gross hillbilly sensation. (Which, inadvertently should be Trump's platform and motto.)

Sorry my gender put you through that, we suck sometimes.
Yeah, 6.4, epicenter under Searles Lake/Trona. It's considered an improvement, believe me. The nearby city of Ridgecrest got some damage, though. I felt it 140 miles northwest.
It rained it's balls off here for 20 minutes or so earlier, now the sun's out, the temp's gone down to 82 degrees with 97 % RH and we're under a | Severe Thunderstorm Warning, | with nasty, highly charged cells popping off all around the area.
No way I'd fly in this shit, orders or no. Word is the Blue Angels bagged it due to low ceiling conditions, but can't confim.
Enjoy your sad militaristic ego stroke, you fat bastard. I hate having to cheer for awful weather in our nations capital on the 4th, but this is the way we live now.
And now your tweeting? What a sweet wife you have. I would have had every piece of your clothing on the front lawn, and poured pancake syrup over the top.

Propper tactical pants, 4 for $20
https://albuquerque.craigslist.org/clo/d/albuquer…
Wonder why they are selling them.
I looked them up ……………..When every second counts, feel confidently prepared for any battle in our BDU pants………..
I just thought the seller misspelled "proper"

All pants are cargo pants, if you cram enough stuff in the pockets
That's not right– jeans can only take so much.
Maybe it'll be a quick, convenient armageddon

I'm lost. Who/what?
Reunion?
Playing?
Merely a Sherman Tank joke on Dear Leader. They're probably re-enactors riding a renovated M4 sporting a 90 mm gun. State of the art!
OK. Am just glad it wasn't catz on cardboard tanks.
Well there is this:

Radar looks wild.
Me? I'm a shallow, petty asshole, so will happily root for rain while playing "Fortunate Son " repeatedly.
Pouring again, with boomer cells walking all around. At least the earth is stable out this way.
Easing up?
Dern.
Who needs rain when we have liquified soil?

A swingin' place called Palisades Park
To have some fun and see what I could see
That's where the bones are

So I tied a bag on human bones to a doorknob, which was the style at the time.
I guess it wasn't a total disaster, but there were moments……..
