K & Sethro - thanks for the encouragement to continue. I don't want to "drop the ball" by making a rushed or poor quality BOB post so I've been waiting until my schedule allows me time to really flesh it out. Rest assured, I will create a BOB post.

Bushman - Agreed. I own some kit that I've had for the past 25+ years, and it still looks new. I use the kit, but don't ABUSE the kit.
