COOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!  Can I help?  Actually, there are ways to blow them without TNT, but its all kinda shady.  States tend to frown on pesonal use of high explosives, at least Illinois does.

A ma-deuce and 1,000 rounds will make short work of the biggest stumps or boulder.  You can also employ a 120mm smoothbore and a couple of SABOT rounds.  Know any active duty tankers? [;)]

Reminds me of that beer commercial, an "1850's radio talk show":

"Ok, on to our next caller!"
"I need some help with dynamite."
"Ok, stumps or mining?"
"Uh, fishin'. . . ."

Achmed, you bring up an interesting point.  Is it possible Hielo is gonna need a Class III Fishing License to possess dynamite? [rolleyes]

I know this is getting off topic, but fishing with hand grenades is just not sporting at all.

When I bought dynamite all I had to do was fill out the order form with all my personal information and the vendor called the sherrif. No wants, warrants, or felony record and I drove away with 50# of detagel and 100-0 delay caps. Nobody checked up on me to see if it was all used up or what I did with it. Wound up using about 50# of ANFO to augment the initial 120+ sticks of explosives. All this was pre Oklahoma City, Waco, Ruby Ridge so it was a different time in our country. Good luck on your project.

What is the procedure to get a liscense to obtain explosives? Are their state and federal licenses? Where can I find the requirements? I did a couple of web searches but came up pretty dry.


The Survivalist, what was in your post that was so funny that I managed to miss? I gotta know.
