Word! I can't believe they still make that stuff. Even my dentist has digital X-rays now, we've had them in the hospital for 5 years or so. And that was about the last use of film I could imagine. I understand that they're using digital NDI x-rays these days, too. Do they still make...

Thats my philosophy too. Except I carry (at a minimum) two 5# 3A:40B:C rated extinguishers, often add a 20# 40A:120B:C extinguisher, and a 2 1/2 gallon PW extinguisher rated at 4A: Plus a shovel and Pulaski. I don't plan on the fire winning easily.

California also has a special case of being on the State Capital grounds in Sacramento-not only must the firearm(s) be unloaded, the ammo can't be in a magazine or speed-loader.... The pols want to make sure they're protected....

I've found the ones from Powerwerx (good guys to deal with, btw) or Anchor or BlueSea to be FAR better quality than the ones at the local parts stores (including NAPA). YMMV.

Scrap it? SELL it!

No pics handy, but I used to pull an M416 loaded with SAR stuff with my Yukon (also loaded with SAR stuff). Pulled great. I didn't care what it looked like.

I've never had a problem keeping extinguishers in the vehicle, even in So Cal summers. And I've never seen specs for fire extinguishers that had maximum storage temps. But, go ask the guys at the fire station what kind they have. Their trucks get just as hot as yours, on the occasions they...

FWIW, I'd get a Vx7 or Vx8, myself... The HT is more portable, but if you're mainly going to use it in the vehicle, get a mobile. If you're going to get the HT, get an external antenna (mag mount or better).

LOL. The guys at the store will answer that for you: Get them both!

I saw something similar (with a VW Type I) at an RV show in Los Angeles, in probably 1974 or '75....

Those are the standard boxes used to pack medical gear in battalion aid stations and similar military medical units.

How UL do you want to be? How much training do you have? You can make saline for irrigation with a level teaspoon of table salt in a quart of water - it's remarkably close to 0.9% by weight, just like the real stuff. BTW, there isn't much evidence that saline flushing is better than plain...

SSB is a mode of modulating the signal, like AM or FM. If you picture a sine-wave graph of the wave form (those squiggley lines) SSB is just one part of the signal - either above or below the line but not the other (or the line). Advantages are effectively about 3x the power out the antenna so...

And 'warmer' is often the difference between life and death. A down bag wet is not only useless, it will self-destruct by ripping out the internal baffles if not meticulously handled. After that, even if you dry it, it's ruined since the down will not stay in position. Further, a down bag...

Garmin everything...In the vehicles we have Nuvi 750's which I bought on sale from Amazon the beginning of this year. Handheld: A variety of Garmin E-trex and newer. Boat: Garmin Again Airplane: Integrated Garmin avionics, Garmin handhelds. USB for use with laptop? Garmin. I have the...

Right. A Fobbit who went outside the wire on medevacs - ground and air...I really didn't HAVE to, I am a physician. A Zoomie doc with a CMB. And when I came back in the wire, my work day just started. Before that I was a pilot flying combat missions (that was in the first trip to the...

Well, good advice but a couple of questions/issues: Why carry a weapon that requires a triple-tap? There weren't too many of the axis power who required double or triple hits (although some did). Did you ever fire the quantities and speed those guys did? Some of the more experienced troops...

Fortunately 20 round mags are almost never seen in the military, at least lately. And a 30 round mag gives a theoretical 25% increase over WWII :wings: I've seen lots (hundreds) of people shot, with everything from a pellet gun to a 12 gauge shotgun slug center of mass, and survive. There...
