Put them on top of the trash can by the road on trash day. They were gone before the trash was picked up.

Tannerite and a 7.62x54r round out of my Mosin Nagant. Sometimes I'll forgo the tannerite and just find a suitable pumpkin or watermelon.

My wife was cleaning closets this spring. She asked if I planned on using the five or six helmets hidden in the spare bedroom closet. She gave me till the end of the week to make a decision. I dropped them off at the local mission store. Last month, I bought a new helmet. I took a hammer to the helmet that I replaced. I was amazed that I could not smash that helmet ! I ended up drilling 10 or 12 holes in it before taking it to the convenience center and pitching it in the compactor. My thought, all these probably had a shelf life anyways.
