Going forward! A big thank you to my Youtube friends who have already joined me on Rumble. In the past week I have uploaded more 2A related videos there, than I have in a year on YT. Including some that YT had flagged. Here's a link: rumble.com/c/PossumLiving

As I mentioned in the previous post, I have begun putting my 2A content on Rumble. I'm actually considering gradually removing such content from my YT channel. I removed a lot of it a couple of years ago after YT issued channel strikes for some content I had on my channel for months and years. I'm just not interested in continuing to build something that I know will eventually be torn down. I prefer to build on the more solid ground that is Rumble. And other platforms too. I don't want to put all my eggs in one basket, as the saying goes. I will probably continue to put some content here (motorcycle, ham radio etc.), but not every week as I have done for over 15 years. YT will no longer be my primary channel, and I have lots of work to do in building my Rumble channel. I am Possum Living over there as well, if you are interested in checking it out.

Going forward, I will be posting my gun related videos on Rumble. I'm tired of playing these games and trying to appease YT. I would prefer to spend my efforts growing the community on a platform that doesn't hate me and everything I stand for.
I will also post on some other platforms, such as the Strange Ocean. If you know, you know.
I have a catalog of lots of videos that I can no longer post here, as well as ideas for other videos I haven't yet created because I know they wouldn't be allowed here. I refuse to be held back by YT any longer.

Hello friends; @larryalexander4833 let me know that comments are turned off on my newest video. As it turns out, that is a glitch. When I uploaded that video, I set it to post Friday, 4-26 at 6PM. But there was a new option: post to members now, and go public on Friday. I clicked that even though I don't have the members function set up. It doesn't appear that I can turn on comments until it goes "live" on Friday, although it is live now.

Bug Out Bicycle
Here's another article I wrote years ago; 2010 to be exact. I read an article this week pooh-poohing the idea of bug out bicycles, so I decided to dig this one out and dust it off. Most of the info is still relevant, but keep in mind that it was written 13 years ago.

The Meteor That Hit Peru
I originally posted this back in 2007:
When I heard this story (news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7001897.stm) on the radio news last week, I forcibly ejected my drink from my nasal passages. Well, not really, but that would likely have been the case had I been drinking anything at the time. I mean, it had such a quality of surrealism about it; not so much like a real radio news report, more like a radio news report in a Superman comic. In fact, as soon as I got to a computer, I immediately emailed the story to a friend who is heavily into comic books like that. Still haven't heard back from him either; perhaps he is in a cave somewhere waiting to see if the world is gonna end.
Apparently some other people found it strange, too. In fact, there was even a story that someone had retrieved the meteor and sold it on Ebay. Here are some excepts from that story: "The buyer has agreed to go down to Peru to pick up the meteorite locally. He will have the meteorite cut into pieces and sent back aboard an old DC-3 aircraft that has been refitted with two 747 jet engines.
The meteorite was scrubbed and the smelly organic matter that covered it was removed. The organic matter originated in outer space. Tests conducted on the organic matter have revealed that the source of the smelly goo was a large intergalactic squid which came from the constellation Hydra."
Come on! Now somebody's pulling my leg. You can't put a 747 engine on a DC-3, that would be like putting a 426 Hemi in a VW Bug!
Now, a week after the fact, I'm still seeing news stories about the meteor, focusing on the fact that "experts" are pooh-poohing the whole thing and saying nothing fell from space. Of the reports from locals who reported seeing a bright meteor, they say that what the locals actually saw was a "fireball". So I looked up "fireball" on Wikipedia and its definition was "a bright meteor".
These "experts" go on to say that the crater is no crater at all, but rather a preexisting lake, from whence noxious fumes are emanating. Yeah, right. I buy that. These locals (who are referred to as locals because they happen to live locally to the crater) have been living there all their lives, never suspecting the existence of this nearby lake until, after seeing a fireball in the sky and hearing a large explosion, they just happen to stumble upon it.
Know what I think it was? I think it was a weather balloon.
P.S. If somebody will pick up the travel expenses, I volunteer to go to Peru and get to the bottom of the matter, and report my findings here.
