    TNRonin has a thread in the garage sale area. I have ordered a CP-L for that very purpose.

    Trash-out, EVERYtime

     

     

    Great ideas everyone. I use needle nose pliars and an empty plastic coke bottle to pickup on the beach where I walk. Seal it with the cap and toss it in the trash in the past. Now I am worried about people getting it for the recycle program.

     

    Bo Peep, you have me curious about the GeoCan??

    More info, please??

    Hi Mitch,

    Yes that is another Tan Single sheath in addition to the 1st one and one black single sheath.

    My buddy that is getting the 2 tan sheaths uses a 3 liter Camelbak Thermobak in desert camo tan for trail running (is it really trail jogging?). There is no storage in that one. he is going to put the 2 tan single sheaths on the pack straps for a flashlight and a knife. He is also planning to wear that tan Thermite with a dog spray (pepper spray?) in one pocket and a Swiss Army knife in the other.

    Sounds like a good combination. to me. My other buddy wants a CP-M in black if you have it. Let me know about when shipping might happen. No rush by me, but they are 'chomping at the bit' if you know what I mean. Let me know when I need to Paypal more. Peter icon_cool.gif

    - John...

     

    Team Shuey you are fantastic in your support of Geocaching!

    That sounds like a great event, John. The GeoGolf is a fun idea. What is the length of the course, if you know.

    Great idea to get the MULE for your bike rides. I use mine when I go mountain bike.

    I think the BFM might be a good move. Those side pockets are the only difference and shouild be real convenient.

    John, you rock for your support of the Scouts!

     

    Hey, team Shuey do you carry gloves. How about a geocaching glove? Most of us throw gloves in for our excursions. I could use an XL cowhide exterior, lined. Have anything like that? With the camo Geocaching patch (or a reasonable facimile) on the back of the hand! OOPs I may be going too far.

    Hello Mitch,

    When do you think that next order will ship, I may have a couple items to add for 2 buddies of mine. One M1 in black and maybe another Thermite.

    And by the way, I nailed my first solo cache this morning. In August I went with friends as they did some caches but did not log them since I just followed.

    Hi Todd,

    Question, do you feel you should have gone to a larger pack, lets say the Motherlode or BFM for a little extra space?

    OR, did you go with the 'HAWG' as related to 'HAM' LOL!

    Take care, Agreatscot AKA Peter

     

    PS: Shuey Et All, the Avatar I am using is a BFM! In this case a BFM is a Big Furry Monster!

    H.A.W.G (molle, lots of compartments, might be too big?)

     

    Transformer (molle, tons! of compartments, maybe too big?)

     

    I think I'm partial to the transformer mecause of the additional compartments, and I can change sizes at will....

     

    Any thoughts?

     

    Hi Wampa,

    I know this is a tough choice. I have 3 camelbaks:

    a black MULE used around town and mountain biking

    a OD Motherlode used for the trail and even flea markets.

    a desert Camo Thermoback 2 liter. used for yard work and beach power walks and could be added to the outside of the other packs, especially the Motherlode.

     

    The MULE is a really nice size and is great for short hikes. If you need to go further the size can be a limit. The new models have MOLLE straps so you can easily attach other things.

     

    Be sure to get the military or maximum gear as these are much tougher and better made.

    Good luck ou your purchase, Agreatscot

    Hey MtnLion,

    Congratulations on the 5/5. I read the page on that one after you emailed and that one seems off the scale!

    I have a question, how do you think the Fatboy would work for a digital camera (Olympus C-3020). I have a Thermite Versipack that is fine for my gear and I have ordered a M-4 for my camera. A friend of mine is thinking about the Fatboy for both. He has a Magellan Meridian and same camera. Agreatscot

    Hey Mitch,

    The Thermite and the single mag holders have arrived! That was quick shipping. This Thermite is going to be really useful. I already loaded it with my Magellan GPSr and Silva Ranger in the main pocket, Handspring Prism in the front with a notepad and pen/stylus combo, Flashlight (surefire E2E) in one side pocket and my Al Mar Sere 2000 folder in the other side pocket. There is still plenty of room for other gear in the main pocket and the back pocket. Now I will not have so much stuff in my pockets.

     

    One of the single mag holders is now attached to my Camelbak strap with a large Swiss army knife. Very secure and handy. I am using the other mag holder on my belt for my flashlight and it works great with the horizontal attachments.

     

    Now I can't wait for the Point Magu hike coming up at the end of the month. It will be a good field test for this gear.

    Thanks again, Peter

    Hi,

    Thanks for the tip on the book, I will get a copy. I am sad to report that David Alloway whose book I mentioned in an earlier post, died March 11,2003. It is reported that his foot was crushed by a horse while on an outing. He ignored it for a while and eventually went for treatment but it was too late. This does show the value of the first aid as you mentioned desertwalker.

    This is a link to his company web site:

    David Alloway Skills of Survival

     

    One final note David Alloway is the only American invited to participate in the Walkabout. The Walkabout is a 120mi 10 day 'race' through the outback of Australia, considered the most difficult desert competition. Peter
