    Open letter to Lumileds

    First smell of coffee

    Could I possibly be wrong? Are there really no AAA lithium batteries to be had? Did I just awake? Got 5 ARC's AAA. Love it! Want one on my keychain and another in my PSK and another... and so on. But! I cannot find a single Lithium battery. Do you folks know if/where I might find some of high...

    CNC Dan- I spent 4 months (Nov-Feb) in the Sierra's one winter testing my kit and skills. That was the most valued kit component during my first week for precisely that reason. Diet changes drastically and (my) biological reaction can be (was) rather pronounced in that regard. Lighthouse-...

    New Waterproof product

    I paid $29.95 for the 4X6. You are right though, I did not see prices posted either. (The price I paid was retail, so I suspect cheaper prices from the dealer). -carl

    New Waterproof product

    Kind of a clunky closing (sealing) mechanism, but simple and failsafe. I really like the way my PSK gear fits inside. I'm going to meet with them to explore alternatives. -carl

    They are small pieces of reflective material usually sewn on back of the helmet cover about 1 inch apart. Otherwise known as cat eyes. They are also seen on other gear- usually head gear. Their simplest purpose is location of the guy ahead of you.

    David (DieselDave) Straight talk, good walk. Ranger eyes are already in the pack (omitted because I was unsure others would know what the hell they were). I got half out long ago, but never got the other half out. I guess its just the "been there done that" feel in my crowd that keeps me close...

    Chris (saunterer)- Input is always welcome. Move this to whatever thread is most appropriate. As to "country folk", I've been living off of the land since I was six (1949). I thought survival training a joke on the first pass through because it was all just "common sense" to me. I've since...
