What happened to that little boy was truly horrific, which just goes to show ya, sometimes parents aren’t the best of instructors. They tend to be too busy fiddle farting around looking for cameras while a real instructor is maintaining control of the matters at hand.
We were at Cedar Creek Rifle Range, which is near Long Creek and Walhalla on Stumphouse Mountain in SC.

FAKE FRIENDS: Bail you out of jail.
REAL FRIENDS: Are in there with you and usually say something like, "Damn, that was fun!", when the door closes behind you both.

I\'m a molder, that is to say a lifelong thermoplastic processor. Most of my career has been devoted to injection molding but I have also done thermoset, blow, extrusion and bi-axial orientation injection stretch blow molding (a dandy string of words which means I made peanut butter jars and Nyquil bottles).
I have worked in pretty much every position from machine operator to general manager over the past 32 years, but if asked, I call myself a process engineer as that’s what the sheep skin tagged me as being. I am currently a shift supervisor.

Open Chat / I need somthing

Yes I am, surprised you remember my call..... ermmm, surprised when you remember ANYTHING Guy... :arf2:
Seriously, I know you live in the boonies and as I remember, you are one of a handful of hams in your county, however, an entry level 2m HT can usually be acquired for $100 or less.... just as your Papa Bear, K7KWH, has told you already.
Save your pennies and buy one guy...... for the moment, avoid temptation to spend your money on old Grundigs, candy bars and ice cream...... mow some lawns, wash some cars, get a part time job at a local diner or convenience corner mart and I bet you will be able to come up the the $100 +/- that you need to get your first HT.
Have you contacted your local / regional club yet, attended their meetings / asked if they have any loaner gear until you can save up your $100?
Guy, you\'re a good kid, but I am afraid that here, just as on the Island, you will find there MAY be a kindly old gentleman who just might \'give\' you a rig, however, just as is there, don\'t hold your breath here. By now, you could have found an empty coffee can...... made a sign to hang around your neck that says "Will Work For HT!", and actually managed to panhandle enough pennies, nickels and dimes off of passers by on a street corner to have a radio by now. Get creative and get busy!
Stand up straight, pull up yer britches and straighten that hat, boy! :arf2:
