Almost everyone I know is knowledgeable about explosives, both manufacture and proper use.
split about 50/50 military and nonmilitary. Some are farmers. 50 years ago we used amonium nitrate and #11 blasting caps to lift stumps so the roots could be cut, clearing for a new field. The problem today seems to be failing to rear children properly. No respect at all.No car too fast !

I was one of those stupid kids once. When I was 12 my friend and I thought it would be a great idea to drop a firecracker into a 500 gallon barrel that had been used for gasoline (had not used it in a while since we were then mainly using diesel on the farm). We though it was empty. We survived but I wonder if the ringing that I now have in my left ear isn't a result of that event. The image and sound is still imprinted in my brain. The barrel was horizontal on the ground and had three different size holes on the top side at one end.
I lit the firecracker and dropped it in the big hole and we ran. Fire shot out of the top from all three holes and the sound it made was like a fighter jet engine. When it stopped the ends of the barrel which had been flat where now convex with creases all around. Soon the neighbors starting showing up to find out what had happened.
Later we pumped 15 more gallons of gas out of the barrel.Last edited by 1990new; 01-31-2016, 11:05 PM.
