Great choices, .22 ammo is plentiful and efficient. My Bushmaster fits into my BOB with the pins out, about 30 secs to ready to go. I have a Marlin 39A lever that takes down nicely as well (wife can huck that one). SW 66 and SW P99 round out the hand cannons. MK111 is one Santa (and the state of MA) have denied for awhile. Camelbacks for both and some of the usual gear, knives is where I came up short. I have a Ka-Bar, nice knife, lousy chopper,clearly not in the same catagory as a Dog from a toughness standpoint.

Gerber folding saw, first aid stuff, folding solar panel, rechargable AA bats, GPS, phone charger (works with AA). Time to outfit the kids (4 year old can carry something!).


Knives, because we were born without claws!
