Give him a kiss! The conspiracy nuts have been stocking up on powder
and ammo... to such an extreme degree that they have driven prices sky
high and made many things quite difficult to obtain. That even goes
for black powder......

I know of guys buying cases of ammo, waterproofing them, and burying
them in the back yard. When the "end-times" don't materialize as
expected, in a few years they'll be out there like squirrels trying to
find that out-of-date ammo.

Can't remember the details, but when I a bit too young to think
clearly, I buried a cheap briar pipe to "age" it.
No waterproofing of course.
Unfortunately, I remembered where I buried it.
Fortunately, I never tried that with my meerschaums.

I have a childhood BFF whose mother, now deceased, was an Orthodox Jew,
and kept her kitchen according to the strictest laws of kashrut. I
remember once when we were in junior high I was spending a long weekend
holiday up at his parent's house in Waterbury when his mama
inadvertantly mixed up something regarding silverware and ran out into
the back yard to "cleanse" the offending item by shoving it into the
ground few times. She told me this was "tradition," not Jewish law.

Burying ammo...now that is funny. Better the birthers bury themselves
and have someone push the dirt in on them.
