Re: Interesting morning

Buying ammunition with cash is just silly. Again - this is a great example of how overly-important someone thinks they are AND that something simple like that would actually be effective. As a data-guy, a lack of data is data in and of itself! He may also buy other things like rem oil, etc, that wou...

Re: Your EDC bag

Never cheap on the bag. All of your gear is useless if you can't carry it!

Re: Is your vehicle ready for winter?

Again - your vehicle should be ready period! May need to bug out at any moment. It is the most likely source of a life altering injury.

Re: Interesting morning

Re: Bic or Zippo (or other)

As always - don't make it harder than it has to be. #1 Get a pack of Bic's. Cheap, lasts forever, easily replaceable. They just work. #2 I love my Zippo - but it is a luxury choice.

Re: Simple water prep

Or put a drop of bleach in the bottle. A lot easier than a solar still. But a Solar still is a great skill, as long as we are working in Soda bottles!!!
