Dump kerosene down all three holes, wait a few seconds, and then light it off.

Oh great, you guys will make any excuse to blow stuff up. LOL.

We all need to find a way to make a living on FR so we can stay home!

Thank you SAM.

I'll bet you did have a lot of stories. I'm sure conditions were miserable no matter where you were over there or what branch of service.

Great, too close to trees.
The kerosene bit would work, but if it's too close to trees and burning restrictions.

Good luck with the survivors in the nest.
They are very agressive after most of the nest is whacked.

Hey, artil types LOVE loud bangs and deep bass noises.
And smoke, lots of smoke.

Yep. LOL. I know you do. That and the bass turned up on the music.

I like it.

I have no mucial talent now, but once upon a time I used to play drums.
Drums don't sound right to me without the 'thump' to 'em.
(But nothing beats the feel of the howitzer going off and the ground jumping while you feel and hear it at the same time..)

Odd thing, drums can't be faithfully reproduced by current speaker tech.
Different 'attack' on the sound.
Drums spike alot quicker and harder than current speakers can reliably do without failure.

That's the end of those Yellow jackets. (I couldn't find any kerosene so I used white gas)

One summer afternoon, I was at a friends house, and we spent several hours outside with cans of "starting fluid" and lighters sitting around a wasp nest.

everytime one flew out, we would take turns doing a flamethrower job on it.

It was funny seeing wasps actually go down in "flaming death sprials" like airplanes in the movies.

I loved that part, Cutter insect repellant works well as a flamethrower to make that happenas well....

Lighter fluid and giant ant colonies!
