    That explains why I've never seen any IDF medical bags... thanks!

    HAM in Canada

    I've got family (in-laws) in Ontario and BC...when we visit I chat on the local repeaters... There is a decent amount of chatter during drive times, in Ottawa, London, Toronto and all of Vancouver/southern Victoria island. It's hard to remember the right suffix to put on my US callsign...

    Surplus Gear?

    And I know lots of medics (line, and SpecOps, Army including Ranger and SF, AF PJ's and SEALS ) who are deployed, just back or getting ready to deploy that disagree. The cool thing about the military right now is that the uniformity police are locked away in most units, and individuals...

    Surplus Gear?

    My STOMP barely survived a single medical missionary trip, where it was used as a 'doctor bag' to carry my tools and a few drugs. Not impressed.

    Surplus Gear?

    ROFLMAO. And people try and get IDF gear (especially LBV's) in the states. And whenever I see IMI ammo, I buy it. But, the Eagle packs are not military surplus...they're mil-spec, and marketed to the military (as are BH, Kifaru, London Bridge, etc) but are only issued via RFI (which means...

    84 Diesel Blazer - ebay

    Painted white like that? I'd be worried about it being a former Civil Air Patrol acquired surplus blazer....which means that maintenance is even more hit or miss than a surplus from DRMO.

    Surplus Gear?

    Except for two years and change in the Army Guard, I'm Air Force....however, after 26 years of it I can speak purple well enough. Good catch on the gear.

    Surplus Gear?

    No, not really. I used to, but civilian gear is just so much more practical that even the military uses a lot of it, either bought with private funds by the soldier or purchased by the unit using whats called rapid-fielding initiative funds... The military procurement and design systems are so...

    CB antenna

    It's 2.81 meters or 9.29 feet, plus the base. It should work as a CB antenna or a short HF ham antenna. Check the SWR on either....

    Hilux_Max's New D4D Hilux from OZ

    Trucks like that are all over the Caribbean, too - often as utility company vehicles. Too bad we can't have high MPG diesels in the US, because of worries about air pollution.

    Question about hydraulic systems on a series IIa

    Galvanize the whole thing, PC the outside, spray POR-15 or LPS-3 (the sticky one?) or whatever on the inside? And are there any areas in particular that should have drain/weep holes added?

    loaded gun in the glovebox?

    In those jurisdictions, the dog always hits...and it's reported in more than one occasion that they find drugs that weren't there before.

    loaded gun in the glovebox?

    If a law-abiding individual wishes to comply with the appropriate laws, and have a handgun in their vehicle a better way to keep it secure is in a locking vault such as those available from http://www.center-of-mass.com/index.htm I've purchased several from them, and am happy with the products.

    loaded gun in the glovebox?

    And in some jurisdictions, if you don't grant the police permission to search, they will call in a 'drug detection canine' to walk around your vehicle. And guess what? Then they have PC to search you.

    2001 Discovery or 1999 Tahoe

    I have a Yukon (GMC branded Tahoe), 97, 4-door, 4wd. Not exactly my daily driver any more, but it's still going strong with 213K miles at 19mpg with AC, 75-80 mph. In that time I've had 2 transmissions (one under warranty), a starter, an alternator, two batteries, two fuel pumps, and a water...

    Any LC Smith owners around here?

    All ammo is pretty much loaded to the same standards....Finding 16ga will be a bit tougher than conventional 12 or 20 though.

    Any LC Smith owners around here?

    As long as the barrels are NOT Damascus (the wavy-pattern steel) the shotgun should be fine with low-base shells... But get it checked by a competent 'smith. http://www.lcsmith.org/shotguns/1945grades.html
