It's lighter and in most cases cheaper, yet can do it all. I have a Wave, too, and love it, but my Skeletool is the one that's always in my pack on hikes, and that's in my BOB. Great list.Bobhttp://www.squidoo.com/one-gift-for-allnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-33022519104819120782012-12-11T14:16:25.283-08:002012-12-11T14:16:25.283-08:00Oil is predicted to hit an average of $50 next yea...Oil is predicted to hit an average of $50 next year.gagahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02397267261646267166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-49653106188844504002012-12-10T10:48:34.560-08:002012-12-10T10:48:34.560-08:00Great List, for those who live in places pepper sp...Great List, for those who live in places pepper spray is illegall, try bear spray as a legal alternative.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14162783936999869984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-17713416018049808862012-12-10T02:50:05.869-08:002012-12-10T02:50:05.869-08:00it's great article...it's great article...fahrihttp://www.melibur.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-32199380735272113922012-12-09T18:27:25.690-08:002012-12-09T18:27:25.690-08:00Correction -- 0.5% permethrin spray protects cloth...Correction -- 0.5% permethrin spray protects clothing for 6 washings. About six ozs needed -><br />27 gallons will provide about 576<br />clothing treatments. Assuming you wear a pair of treated clothes for 3 days between washings (under survival conditions) then you have 18 days per treatment. So 576 treatments will cover you for 576*18days or 28.4 years.Don Williamsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-68421388481406404992012-12-09T18:13:16.974-08:002012-12-09T18:13:16.974-08:001) Nothing says "I care" at Christmas li...1) Nothing says "I care" at Christmas like a gallon of Martin's<br />13.3% Permethrin. <br /><br />http://store.parsonspestcontrol.com/martinspermethrin133.aspx<br /><br /><br />Dilute it by a factor of 27 with water and you have a clothing spray similar to Sawyers, what the military uses to treat ACUs etc. Kills ticks, mosquitoes, fleas, chiggers,etc on contact while having almost a 100 year history of being harmless to humans in dilute form. One treatment of clothing will protect for 36? washings--i.e, a year.<br /><br />A KaBar or AK47 will take care of the big guys --but it is the little guys that will kill you. The Black Death would not have got off the ground if they had permethrin back then.

Just something simple like a Grundig S350 with a dial. You can roll up and down listening for something. When the hurricane flattens the local power grid and cable you get tired of the local news (assuming you had batteries or a generator to listen.) They obsess on what anybody can see when driving around. A boat in the road, hanging power lines, gas lines, repeat cycle. For weeks. The rest of the world did not stop, being able to listen to outside new's sources is a welcome break.Lancenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-55899407236130529732012-12-08T14:01:36.651-08:002012-12-08T14:01:36.651-08:00Don't forget Mora knives from Sweden.
