    Open letter to Lumileds

    Some folks bet their lives on quality product(s). We will be doing business with ARC (Peter Gransee) because we trust him/his products. We are willing to pay premium price for premium product. Please help him meet our needs. -carl

    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

    New Waterproof product

    Take a look at this: http://www.inventivesolutions.net/itmidx1.htm I am fondling one of these right now. Thick (60 mil) rubbery feel (more like rubber, less like plastic). Just might be better than an altoids tin... -carl

    PSK Fuel-driven Lighter

    Fuel does evaporate from stored lighters- except from this one: http://www.worldscoutshop.org/php/catalogue/mc.php?t=search&wh=nd&find=metal+match&marqueFind=1 I have this lighter in my PSK. I last checked it 6 months ago. I just checked it and it is full of lighter fluid. The wick is not...

    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...

    Tomas- Elegance is for the movies ...that you were effective is all that counts. Afterimage- Your "generalization" makes sense to me. David (W4DIZ)- There are good schools available to civilians that include practical application. I'll post a site or two in a bit. Chris (saunterer) "having...

    Don (McGizmo) Excellent point. I think you are telling me that the Surefire puts out 60 Lumens and the LS puts out 5. Is that correct? Unfortunately, initial quantity will be too low to fund (or underwrite) development. That may change, but not in 2003. There will be extensive (field) testing...

    saunterer- The kit purpose: survival. Kit contents somewhat specialized, not secret. Again, the concern here is that in publishing kit contents, someone goes off and assembles a similar kit without ever becoming proficient in using the contents. Anticipated use of this kit: SERE (Survival...

    OK, so CNC Dan got me thinking. Just how many of you "flashaholics" admit to being accomplished in wilderness survival skills? By accomplished, I mean have both "classroom" and practical application experience.
