James,
yea I will have to do that...I plan on getting 2 more done for my other 2 bags

yea the Goblin is the one with the integral backing...I tend to carry my P-32 in a Goblin..it is part of my budget line and was designed by "thebeltman.net"

Yup that is the idea, but I carry it in my frontpocket and it works the same and hides the print..Works pretty well on small revolvers like smith J-frames as well

very nice Dave! that is some pig/firesteel!

here's some of mine;

woohoo

what is the one on the far right?

Looks like a Blastmatch to me.

yes, it's a blastmatch (ding ding ding for Bramel!) with that Dave it's all self contained, the striker is built inside the housing, you just push the thing against what you want to burn and "sparks!!!"

And now for a completely different take on BOB's read this post by Tim May. Kinda makes sense to me.

That is an interesting case. It makes you think anyway.

dose make you think, indeed, I think we like the 'Red Dawn' senairo, beans and bullets vs. the commies. and it is much nicer to think of protecting your self from an invading army (commy or zombie) vs. your own government.

It is very interesting, another dimension to the B.O.B. but many of us are here because we believe bad things can happen and we'd like to be prepared, hurricanes in the south east, earthquakes and tsunami's in the west, tornado's in the mid west, black outs in the east, a flood, fire, or a skunk in or under the house! Last year thousands of people near me (St Louis) were without power for weeks because of storms, and a B.O.B. would have been nice.

I need to be prepared as much as I can, to have the things I may never need (I hope) like a gun a policeman never uses in his career. I do believe it is best to stay at home in most emergencies, if you can but sometimes you may not be able to, and the odds of that may not be high but having a B.O.B. for leaving and for using at home, and having the things I May need and could use.

For me, thinking bad things or the unexpected won't happen to me is foolish. At the very least I'll have good camping and hiking stuff!

I was real interested in most of his scenario, but as soon as he gets in to getting a fake ID made, and then renting storage space under that fake identity is a real dumbass idea, IMO. Try explaining to the cops that the reason that you're renting w/ a fake identity using an illegal ID and creating offshore bank accounts is "just in case" you're the victim of a government conspiracy... It'd make for a great movie (Conspiracy Theory w/ Mel Gibson was great!) but I'd really suggest that no one goes out creating a 2nd identity in case "the man" strikes.

I do agree w/ a lot of his ideas though, about cash, food, guns, camping gear... (the bank account isn't a BAD idea, but you might as well just use cash) - basically one of "our" bug out bags, but make sure to have plenty of cash and calling cards, which is something that Ron mentioned in his list I believe.

Good link Ted - it really made me think!
