Little Redneck Fun Blowing Up Tannerite
While the Kids Were Here on Sunday

 

Well for once I agree with some of the over regulators out there. Tannerite should be illegal. Why? Well its just too darn much fun and too darn expensive to be doing much, lol!

 

If you've never shot it or seen it in person, its such a blast. Videos can not do it justice at all because the video camera can't capture the true explosive sound nor the percussion you feel from it going off. That makes all the difference in the world. Experience it first hand and I really think you'll be hooked.

 

You can make it quite cheaply if you can find any 34-0-0 fertilizer say perhaps at a co-op or somewhere. Since the Oklahoma City bombing, in which 34-0-0 was used its pretty hard to find. If you do, a 50# sack will last you a really long time. Buy any more than that and expect to be run through the ringer rightly so. Don't think any of us want to ever see an Oklahoma City bombing happen again. Since you probably won't find it near you at a feed store, you can get the "cold" packs that are sold at either CVS or Walgreens and mix a little aluminum powder in it and you've got more affordable tannerite. You CAN NOT get the cold packs at Walmart. They are not pure ammonium nitrate. When you pick them up at Walgreens or CVS flip it over to the ingredients and make sure its the 100% ammonium nitrate. You can get bottles of aluminum powder off of eBay pretty cheap. I won't go over the instructions as there are several videos on YouTube that cover the topic.

 

There are lots of information on the Internet regarding if a 17HMR will set this stuff off. I've shot three of them now all with 1 shot from a 17HMR. They went boom every time.

 

Well here is a short video and remember as I said before, the video is very anticlimactic compared to setting it off in person.

Piper's 4 Month Old Pics

 

Here are a few pics of Piper at 4 months old. She's still doing great. Learning good. Next vet visit is coming up and it will be her last shot for a year. Don't remember for sure but I think she might also get her rabies shot. If so, we'll start spending significant time in the woods. Squirrel population seems to be lower this year but hopefully we'll get her on some squirrels. If not we'll head to the park and probably upset a couple folks, lol.

 

My hopes are we'll get a tree or two before the season ends but she's still going to be pretty young. If not, its not a problem. Just hoping since she's been such a quick learner so far that she'll pick it up good. Hope to have her a mate in a few months to breed with sometime down the road after I know both are making good squirrel dogs.

 

Anyways, enjoy the pics! I hope to post a really short video a little later this week.
