  1. Beavers are smart so they'll get the shark to swim up into an inlet then close the dam behind it. For bonus points they'll plan it for high tide but leave a small opening to drain the enclosed inlet as the tide goes out. Now the shark is in water to shallow to swim in and when the zombie apocalypse happens it's not the human zombies you need to worry about...
  2. If you get a chance to watch Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence starring David Bowie as a WW2 POW in Japan it further showes the man's range of talent
  3. All the more reason Canadian Combat Engineers have the beaver rather than traditional animal such as lions,eagles,horses etc represent them.
  4. Me to it's been a long wait.
  5. Welcome from BC
  6. Lucky for our brother in Arizona that beavers will not form an alliance with snakes but more importantly I know the beaver's kryptonite Now I'm not claiming to be a beaver whispers as much as I'd like to have that on a buisness card
  7. Combine that skill set with jump qualified beavers and beavers are working their way closer to Arizona.... coincidence ?
  8. I'm going to tag on to the learning part. Just ordered a melting pot, ingot mold and putting together a list plus reading up on bullet casting. With everything going on up here, adding another process 'in-house' makes sense. Talked to my local scrap metal guy and he's open to setting aside lead for me. There is also a local gunsmith that does a lot of cowboy action stuff and sells refined lead.
  9. That's a great story!
  10. Not to mention the sheer number of troops required to simply control the people. According to Police Blue Nation there are more than 900,000 sworn law enforcement officers now serving in the United States. So I wonder how many toops would be needed to try and control then add in the number of troops needed in an administrative/support?
  11. Congrats brother The placement of the camera and flashing a bit of leg, I didn't even notice the shirt...
  12. Great video, saving this one
  13. A great story to be told around a campfire
  14. All my heros are the guys we left behind- David Chow https://globalnews.ca/video/5340723/all-my-heroes-are-the-guys-we-left-behind-army-veteran-george-chow-remembers-juno-beach/ Probably the best known Canadian at D-Day was James Doohan aka Scotty of Star Trek born in Vancouver BC. At the beginning of World War II, Doohan joined the Royal Canadian Artillery and was a member of the 14th (Midland) Field Battery, 2nd Canadian Infantry Division.[9] He was commissioned a Lieutenant in the 14th Field Artillery Regiment of the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division. He was sent to England in 1940 for training. He first saw combat landing at Juno Beach on D-Day. Shooting two snipers, Doohan led his men to higher ground through a field of anti-tank mines, where they took defensive positions for the night. Crossing between command posts at 23:30 that night, Doohan was hit by six rounds fired from a Bren gun by a nervous Canadian sentry:[2] four in his leg, one in the chest, and one through his right middle finger. The bullet to his chest was stopped by a silver cigarette case given to him by his brother.[7] His right middle finger had to be amputated, something he would conceal on-screen during most of his career as an actor.[10] Doohan graduated from Air Observation Pilot Course 40 with eleven other Canadian artillery officers[11] and flew Taylorcraft Auster Mark V aircraft for 666 (AOP) Squadron, RCAF as a Royal Canadian Artillery officer in support of 1st Army Group Royal Canadian Artillery. All three Canadian (AOP) RCAF squadrons were crewed by artillery officer-pilots and accompanied by non-commissioned RCA and RCAF personnel serving as observers.[12][13] Although he was never actually a member of the Royal Canadian Air Force, Doohan was once labelled the "craziest pilot in the Canadian Air Force". In the late spring of 1945, on Salisbury Plain north of RAF Andover, he slalomed a plane between telegraph poles "to prove it could be done", earning himself a serious reprimand.
  15. These post always lead to more reading
  16. I knew about him for the Doolittle raid but the rest of his resume is a collection of impressive feats
