    Pics of Audi R8 LED Headlights!

    What ever the technical data says, I have some after market PIAA lights on my BMW 3 series, and the difference between DOT and those is night and day, AND i get fewer "blink downs" from oncomings than I ever did with my properly aimed DOT's. High beams are nothing short of awe inspiring, and...

    DealExtreme shipping (better late than never I guess)

    Issues like this are why I refuse to deal with Third World countries when it comes to retail sales.

    Mom getting old?

    Bring her to a Doctor, such things can be the signs of early onset dementia or something controllable like Diabetes 2. Don't guess, know.

    Help me pick a flashlight for my Dad - for boat use

    as one who has sailed transoceanic, I will say this, flashing a really bright light on the empty bridge of a container ship is going to do you no good. First of all, they keep crappy watches, I have seen several sail by never once seeing a live body moving around (using good binocs from fairly...

    going camping for 2 weeks

    LED headlamp, its all your will use unless you have a problem. I spent 9 days in the BWCA and only used the big light a couple of times, every thing else was the head lamp, one set of battery change and that was it.

    7 day hunting trip into wilderness - what lights would you take?

    Pocket steak knife?

    Get an opinel, and a small hone, either a diamond or ceramic, and touch it up. Who cares if you end up with a dull spot, thats what sharpening is all about! I carry an old gerber bird and trout from the 60's in my brief case, and use that, its not a folder, but its in a little leather case I...

    Not quite a dress watch...

    Citizen eco drives are good, some are very thin, some look Very expensive with only being a couple of hundred dollars, AND they last and last, Mine are over 6 years old, and my previous winner for life span was a couple of years for a Seiko. I have one titanium work watch, which has only...

    Good source for plate aluminum? Circle or sqare.

    Use the yellow pages and the old fashioned phone, My guess is that within 4 calls or less you can find it locally. Call the biggest ad you see for metals supply, ask for city desk, ask the guy for what you want, if he says no, too small, ask who do you sell this stuff to, or who would you think...

    Have Emerson lost the plot?

    To me, too much of emerson is marketing, and not use and ergo's. Just my opinion, but they seem to develop a cult of personality that shields users from actually deciding that someone else makes better, more comfortable, more useful knives.

    Your "Bump in the night" flashlight.

    I have a couple of CTC grips on my commander and the full size Gov't that is the back up, that little red dot is all I use at first, then a streamlight NF-2 LED is the back up.

    i have Cigar Tubo's, or single cigar humidors that i carry in my briefcase and back pack. WIfe uses the freebie tampax plastic cases for her spares flashlight cells, which led to great embarrassment when a woman who worked with her needed an emergency spare, and just batteries fell out.

    Making an emergency-ready daypack, insight needed

    The first thing is meds. Do you take daily meds. without them the rest is silly. same with vision correction, if you cant see, your dead. Needing to see road signs at a block away? Unnecessary if you have a map, streets don't move and on foot, you have plenty of time to read them, and a...

    Columbia River A.G. Russell Sting

    I have the original, and carry it daily. Remember it is a last ditch oh S*** knife. Its not for cutting cheese, its not for opening mail, its for saving your life when nothing else will do, I had the edges of my sting's handle grit blasted to get some texture, as the only time I used it, I...

    Looking to order 2 new knives. Need some help.

    To me, a SE is an answer looking for a question. If you keep your knife sharp, its no big deal to cut anything with it. A sharp plain edge will cut cloth, rope, twine, branches faster than most any SE. It will be 10x times easier to sharpen as well. Don't buy cheap knives, they cost you way...
