Between 60 & 70% of US tungsten consumption is used in the manufacture of new carbide. Last year, tungsten recovered from scrap accounted for 31% of tungsten consumption by US processors and end users. 
The rest was imported; 43% of the import was from China. China has approximately 65% of the worlds known tungsten reserves and last year produced 86% of the newly mined tungsten, world wide. 

China is also the worlds largest tungsten consumer. The Chinese Government, in order to conserve its resources and meet its increasing domestic demand, has limited tungsten production and exports while increasing tungsten imports. These policies are expected to continue.

I stopped in and talked with Russell the owner of Desert Surplus. He is a good guy, knows a lot about the surplus business and has done a great job of stocking his store with of the stuff you like to see in a surplus store.

Like all good surplus stores the inventory is always changing so stop in often.

We made two slings (for throwing rocks) out of 550 cord. We found the idea and instructions on the EDC Forum. Both of these were easy to assemble. The tan version uses two cords, the black one was made from just one length of 550 cord. The tan two cord version is larger and longer, but either can be made larger or smaller.

On the last day of SHOT Show 2009 we mostly took video reviews of products we were most interested in. Many of the videos were taken in HD and are still being edited. Some are already posted on the internet. Here are the still images we took while walking the floor for the fourth day at SHOT Show 2009

Perfect for protecting domestic meats, game, fish, vegetables or your personal possessions from the harmful effects that oxygen or freezer burn may cause. Uses a double piston pump system to insure an “Air Tight Seal.” Capable of 28 inches of vacuum seal that will keep food fresh 5 to 6 times longer than traditional storage methods.
