    No More Sleeping Bags...

    Yeah, Canada Goose parkas are great. They're very hard to find in stock, though...especially the 'serious' styles vs. the stylish ones.

    No More Sleeping Bags...

    Back in the day (like the 60's and 70's) you could buy 'elephant's foot' sleeping bags that were only about long enough to reach your waist, and a down parka that zipped to it...for the 'ultralight' climbers of the day...I imagine that wearing the parka 24/7 or whatever would get it pretty damp...

    Ditto on the Larson 5/8 wave NMO mount antennas... mounted in the center of the roof.

    Ammo Can seller in the Nevada Desert?

    Beatty, yeah.....I was trying to remember that place. We spent a night there about 5 years ago.

    OK, what exactly is this for?

    Navistar introduces new Class 4/5 truck

    International built the engine for Ford....it's the same engine. Not quite as bad as the International 6.0 but close. The 6.7 is getting pretty good mileage in real world applications - severe towing across Colorado passes with a 5th wheel getting 10-12 mpg... 15+ around town, regens...

    MURS questions

    Maybe. But FRS has far better sound quality.

    Gps antenna interference

    The signal from the cable might, but really shouldn't.

    MURS questions

    No, they can't: Ham radios are not legally approved to transmit on MURS freqs. Not saying it doesn't happen, though. Depending on how short your short-range is, FRS might be best...

    J-Pole build questions

    Or tie a piece of string to it and toss it up in a tree. And when you're done, roll it up and stick it in your pocket.

    J-Pole build questions

    Using 3/4 wont affect the performance at all. And no, it shouldn't be grounded...

    Organized, lightweight took kits on GL Auctions

    No, but the Pelican tool chest goes for around $500...I'm trying to decide if it's worth it.

    How is the case part of it? Worth $500?

    Organized, lightweight took kits on GL Auctions

    Yeah. The weight of two of them is around 150lbs (per the website, that probably includes the pallet) so the weight of each case is probably around 70lbs. These are what the AF calls CTK's - controlled tool kits. There are CTK's for various aircraft types and jobs (a tool that isn't needed...

    New Sniper Record

    Well, the Brits are using a somewhat hotter than standard load too....And the way the diameters/lengths of the bullets work out, the .338 is close to the perfect size and shape for long range and accuracy.

    New Sniper Record

    Some more fancy shooting: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1273679/Gone-28-seconds-Rapid-sniper-takes-Taliban-soldiers-protect-British-patrol.html?ITO=1708 I think I understand why the Brits refer to this as an 8.59mm weapon. The magazine in the AI rifle is too short to accept...

    Watermaker/Desalination/filters

    I bought one from GL (through a group buy) a few years ago...aside from the tubing being slightly stiff, it was like new. I replaced the tubing with some tygon we had around and put it in our aircraft overwater survival kit. As far as cleaning, they come with a repair kit with a new osmotic...

    Mil Sup Coleman-type stoves on GL auction

    There's a valve on each burner. It's a nice size - around 12-14" across, IIRC. Is the perforated basket missing? That's the only 'medical' piece in it. The pot is a bit shallow for deep frying, I think...but you could boil shrimp in it. And these days, they're self fueled :)
