I think this is the beginnings of an economy based on perpetual growth and fossil fuel energy running headlong into geological energy constraints. Basically I see an undulatory downward path for the rest of my life. From here out, I think any rallies in our economic condition are going to be met with spiking commodity prices that knock us right back down.
Use THICK leather gloves when working with it and BE CAREFUL. It WILL slice you up like a ginsu machine. But if your careful and take your time and the end of the day you'll have an area protected that no one will want to wander into.
I've seen these in action - very impressive and they are not classed as a landmine under the international ban (which the US never signed anyway) because they are command wire initiated.
All you need now is to find an international arms dealer.

Make your own napalm mine. Get a 55 gallon drum, and fill it 66% full of packing peanuts. Pour gasoline into the packing peanuts until it has dissolved and become a slurry. Next, fill up the rest of the 55 gallon drum with black powder, and seal off the drum. Be sure to seal the bung hole for maximum seal Place it in an area, (or near), you wish to blow up. When you desire to detonate this huge explosive from very far away, just shoot it. The bullet will puncture the metal, and create a spark which will ignite the black powder, which expands rapidly against the napalm mixture and the inner boundary of the canister. The end result is a very explosive, (I do not advise approaching within 100 yds of ground zero or looking directly at the blast), reaction throwing flaming Styrofoam and shrapnel in a very wide area that will burn very hot for a long duration. If you wish to make sure the fires resulting from the explosion cannot be exterminated, add in 2 kilograms of phosphorus to this mixture. Utter devastation is almost guaranteed within a 50 yard radius, and you will feel the shock wave beyond to .5 kilometers away. An ignition fuse, timed fuse, or electric fuse will also work, but you must have quite a bit of wire if you intend to detonate it manually. If you do decide to use a fuse, I suggest using a blasting cap for the detonation source.
Note that I would consider this a last resort option. This would be sure to stop the advancing forces, but you will surely damage your own property, if not kill yourself. For a comparison to actual combat, this would be similar to a fire for effect as a last stand against the enemy prior to your base being captured by the enemy. If you do exercise this option, you had better be in retreat, or in an underground shelter if you intend to survive the detonation. Considering the devastation it would do to your land, I would highly advise evacuation. Please do not detonate this device unless you have no other possible means to resist. Even then, I would seriously re-consider your options. _________________ Here Lies the United States Of America.
congradulations this thread might be on a fbi watch list. i think it might be in the best intrest of this place not to talk about home defence with military grade weapons ok?

I believe far too many people worry far too much about "government watch lists."
First of all, the applicable agency would be BATF, which is part of the Treasury Department. I would note that one can lawfully manufacture bombs and explosive devices if one obtains the required license from BATF. A bit of a hassle, yes, but entirely possible.
Second, the simple truth is that the case load per agent is so large that they really don't have time to engage in "watch lists". There are lots of bad guys out there, and our little discussion board is not going to rate much attention when compared to dope dealers, money launderers, child pornographers, and other such cretins.
Finally, I suspect that if anyone is on a "watch list", I would be that person. Partly because I collect military grade weapns - all perfectly legally, and fully in compliance with BATF regulations. And partly because of some of my avocations - again, all legal. I have yet to be contacted by law enforcement other than to occassionally be invited to lunch by the local vice squad. (Yes, really. No, I'm not kidding. No, I'm not involved in anything immoral or illegal. And yes, cops really do know the best restaurants!)
So - on the one hand, one should not manufacture bombs or explosive devices, nor make illicit modifications to weapons. That's illegal and will get one in a great deal of trouble. On the other hand, mere discussions of the issue aren't going to provoke a raid. Or, for that matter, even a visit.
As radical as this may sound...the cops are our friends. And that includes the feds.

Exactly, Unless one possesses the proper permits to manufacture such explosive devices bordering on a WMD and has a legit use for such a device, the device must not be manufactured. The only exception I can understand for this is in a complete disintegration of society, (TEOTWAWKI), where the man with the biggest weapons is the survivor; or if in a state of war with no access to any conventionally manufactured explosives. If we, (as a populous not a web board), were to formally declare war upon the government of their country, then I could perfectly understand employing such a device. There is virtually no circumstance during peacetime that would justify the manufacture or deployment of such a device. The time for revolution is not now, and may not come if Comrade Clinton is not elected to POTUS. God willing, that red will be rejected when she attempts to run for POTUS.
This being stated, it is not a crime to discuss such matters at least until the Patriot Act II passes. Even if the BATF were to stumble across my posting on how to manufacture a high yield explosive device, about the most that would come out of it is the agent thinking, "WTF? I better watch this guy." Then that agent would scroll down to this post, and see that I do not advocate the deployment of such a device during peacetime unless a legitimate reason exists, (which I cannot even fathom), he would realize that I am of no threat, and stop the investigation. So yes, I may provoke a government agent to read my posts, but considering that I am not a threat to homeland security, they would realize that they are just wasting their time.
Obtaining information and distributing of information is a free exercise, it is only when such information is employed into actual use that it becomes a criminal matter. Just because I own the books Dark Sun, The Making of the Atomic Bomb, 1984, Animal Farm, Fahrenheit 451, and Brave New World, does not mean that I am an anti-government paranoid schizophrenic manufacturing a thermonuclear device to destroy Big Brother. It simply means that I have odd interests, and wish to be prepared _________________ Here Lies the United States Of America.
All the information "They" dont want you to have.
The forums there are serious business. I dont believe I've ever seen a more technical forum. Its also not for the light of heart or weak of brain. The information, if you do not know what you are doing, WILL get you killed, or WILL get you maimed, or WILL get you setting in the nice comfy jail downtown.
Its a great place to read, but DO NOT try anything until you know damned good and well what you are doing!!
While we're on the subject, this invention seems like a good one. Basically they're a replacement for sandbags. You could easily fabricate them yourself from concrete reinforcing mesh and heavy duty plastic sheet. It seems you can build structures quickly and easily and they won't collapse like sandbags do either.
We used Hescobastions all over the place in Lebanon. They are certainly an excellent invention. Filled them with local soil. We also used gabions which are chickenwire cages which you fill with rocks. Great also for keeping the soldiery busy.
We got direct hits with everything up to 81mm mortar and indirect hits up to 155mm HE. Another thing we used were the precast T-Walls which you see the US using extensively in IRAQ in front of government buildings etc. _________________ www.askaboutenergy.com
