Converting a Siaga is very easy. It's a great way to go! Love mine!!!

OOO! Nice looking knife!!! Good price too!

Here is another nice little knife for EDC. One of the few American made folders now. Bear® Large Titanium Sideliner Lock with Amarillo Smooth Bone Handle

I like both the Kershaw Blur and the SOG Flash II. Good knives, but don't they won't make you cry when you lose them. They will do all you need for an EDC to do. Spydrco Delica is another good knife.

You need to pick up a second pack for your wife and even a small pack for your kid. I have a pack for all five members of my family, including my 8 year old.

Large ALICE is the best deal on the market! The one problem with ALICE Packs is they look military, but you can make or purchase a cover from them that would, that wouldn't stand out so much. Still for the money, I don't think you can beat it.

Yet another good reason to stay out of Federal Buildings.

The best condition original rifles will be the K31's. Still find ammo for them too, but it's not cheap. Cheapest rifle to shoot would be the Mosin, followed by the Mauser. The most fun rifle to shoot of those would be the Lee Enfield. I dearly love them! All are good rifles though.

Best knives I've owned are a Gerber MKII (Traded it), USMC Kabar (traded it) and a Buck NightHawk 650 (Still got that one). My favorite knives are a Mora 780, Kershaw Scallion and a Camillus TL-29 (Lineman Knife). I still got all of these. Knives I'm wanting to purchase are a US Knife (U.S. Military Pocket Knife) and a SAK One Hand Opening Trekker (Plain Blade).

I belong to another wedsite for Bushcrafting. It's one of the bigger sites for such things on the web. We are planning a national meet at LBL in April. A lot of that type stuff is being planned, so I hear. You might want to check it out. Could be a cheaper alternative or a stepping stone to something like Fox Kits.

I think there needs to be a lot more awareness by the British public before change will occur there. That and political will to force the necessary changes through parliament. Definitely liked the article and thought it was right on.

The reason they don't want to legalize is POWER! Look at all the MONEY that gets spent on the war on drugs every year. The people that get to spend all that MONEY don't want to legalize it, because they lose their POWER! Therefore, they push for more MONEY and harsher sentences and new technology and more POWER! It's a never ending cycle. Even the drug lords don't want to see it legalized, because they'd lose their POWER and MONEY, just like the Law Enforcement Officials in this this country.

+1,000,000,000 to infinity! I think one of the worst things to happen to this country is the war on drugs. It's a war that can never be won. It's cost us a lot of our rights. And look at the toll it's taken in Mexico. All because we made them illegal and created a source of chaos. Horrible, horrible decision on our part.

OOPS! Nothing to see here people! Move along. Move along.

Les Miles commented on the end of the game and explained what happened. LSU was confused as to what package they were going to send in. The first package was a run package with Ridley. For some reason they switched it to a pass package and pulled the run package back. Tennessee was watching this and started in with some more LBs or Linemen. Then we saw LSU's pass package coming in. Wilcox responded by sending in the pass package and then confusion reigned within our defense on the field. No one came off the field and the ball was snapped. We got the penalty. Case closed. That's what happens when your this young. We dressed less than 70 players for this game. Half of those had yet to ever make a college road trip. Unbelievable we are in such a position.

Dolomite, with posts like that, you can be as long winded as you want! Very interesting!!! I've always thought that of all the "European" rounds, this is the most interesting and by far the most powerful. I knew is was used extensively in WWII by the Russians as a sub-machinegun round, but I've never heard of anyone chambering a rifle in this round. How does this heavy load compare with the 9MM Largo that was used in the in the old Mauser 93 based Destroyer Carbines? Does this round have the potential to be used in silenced weapons like the CIA used in Vietnam, in silenced Destroyer carbines? Hope for your continued recuperation from the Helicopter incident in said far away place!

I guess I'm getting old, but I just don't care for all these tacticool knives I see people carrying these days. If I feel the need to carry a lock blade I carry a little Kershaw Scallion, but mostly I am carrying a Camillous Lineman's pocket knife these days. The little Camillous does just about all I need a pocket folder to do. If I were going to purchase a new pocket knife today, I'd get a German Army One Handed Trekker made by Victorinox (think Swiss Army Knife, but green) Or a One Handed Trekker with a non serrated blade. I also wouldn't pay more than $60 for a knife. $60 will buy you plenty if just about any kind of knife you might want. Just my 2 cents though.

As far as I know there are now stores in Knoxville that sale stuff like that. You occasionally see some mil-surp come through Gander Mountain, but expect to bent over and there won't be any vasoline. Garufa is coorect get your C&R license.

That is one sweet looking Winchester! Congratulations! It's one to pass on to the kids.

Fixed blade: Mora Bushcraft Tri-Flex Folder: German Army One Handed Trekker made by Victorinox Multitool: Leatherman New Wave thought the Victorinox Line is a VERY, VERY, VERY close second! Automatic: Ok, not technically an Automatic, but I would never own one any way. It opens just as fast though. Machete: Cold Steel Kopis Machette. They dropped it from their line, but I like the pointy sword like tip. I think it would make a dandy defense weapon! The Mora Bushcraft Tri-Flex is my go-to blade. Can't beat a Mora for the price, weight, sharpness and handiest knife on the market. There is only one draw back to a Mora and that's the sheath. They are not the best in the world and most people end up buying a good after market leather sheath.

Don't much care for the serrations. Wish it was made with a non-serrated edge and in carbon steel. Think I'll stick with my Mora 780 and put the saved money toward a Wetterlings Hunting axe

Target carries SAKS. Here is a link. Swiss army knife : Target Search Results I heard on another Forum that Target has the Victorinox Trekker One Hand Opener Knife on closeout for $19 in the stores, but I've not seen it myself.

You still run across Winchester Model 88's and Savage 99s in .308 from time to time in addition to the Browning BLR. All of them are damned fine rifles too!

Great post and observation Desert Rat. You will not change a community by moving in. On the other hand the community will change you. Those that don't fit are at some point likely going to be asked to move on. It's also a good point to have a bugout location near close family. That way you have a better chance at acceptance once you show up and have a larger group dynamic to work with. Personally, I understand what CrimsonAudio is saying about staying near to home if you are in a big city, but the fact of the matter is that food is going to be finite there and at some point the have nots are going to try and take it from the haves and the haves are going to be in the minority. Not a good situation to be in. I'd rather have a nice safe, secure location to go in case the worst happens and I'm not really sure it's where I live today. Fortunately for me, I have family just up the road about 10 miles.

You are correct sir!
