Repacked my pack, just about ready for testing this weekend. Bought a 3-pack of Alok-sacks from Sportsman's Guide, as well as a "Pocket Cooker" too. Really need to get something that I can pack and leave packed, rather than my "usual" camping kit. Meh. Bought some new camping food to try, by Enertia...

Got mine in the mail today. Looking forward to reading it. Funny thing, I also just bought "Infected" by Scott Sigler. Why is this significant? Read this . In short, he went from all rejections to getting himself a #1 spot on Amazon.com for the novel he published last year. What does this have to do...

Emergency desalination water filter
I've thought these things were cool in concept, but had never seen one, let alone know that there was a hand-powered one available. Then, the other day, I get the newest Major Surplus & Survival catalog and what did I see? "Katadyn Survivor 35 emergency desalinator" for $795. Doesn't seem to be on t...

I'm in, like Flynn. I'm hoping that I can convince my buddy to go with me, but, if not, I'll be solo. In fact, between this and the upcoming BSA Grant Pilgrimage (http://www.usgrantpilgrimage.org/) which I will be chaperoning, I've actually had reason to get my hands on some new tools to use. I've p...

So, what's the best protection to get assuming I need to evacuate THROUGH potentially hazardous areas caused by a chemical spill/toxic smoke, or similiar industrial accidents. IMO, "it depends" on the type of chemical release. I'm in semi/quasi-rural area, so my two biggest risks are chlorine (I li...

One of my FF friends in town here has told me that they're one of the pilot areas for this method, too. Anecdotal evidence is strongly supportive. The support has been raging for several years, and the jury is still out. That being said, I've seen some research that supports the recent changes. Defi...

Looks like the MedBak is a LOT bigger than the one that ovationman linked to.
Check out the pix here: http://tinyurl.com/33n2m2
Personally, I'd go with the MedBak over the other one. Then again, I carry and know how to use the stuff, too.
YMMV, price makes a difference.

FYI - The Red Cross courses are not what they once were. I was fairly disappointed with the first aid course. However, I am now exploring being a trainer with them.

I hope to get some PM(s) from you guys with ideas on how to pay it forward to the ZS community. I already plan a donation to ZS itself. What else? Just a thought, take it for what you paid for it. ;) When the time comes, help kit out a FNG who has the heart, but not the funds. IMO, that's the best ...
