Saturday I Went across the river. Yes Dogs I ventured into the Liberal Mecca of ILLINOIS! I know, I know, I felt totally naked without my "Hogs Leg" but I had no choice. Needless to say I extended my radar and paid more attention to conversations and braved the horde. The place I went to was a flea market that is only open on Sat and Sun. There is one "Room" that has some LIMITED Military Surplus items. I went there specifically looking for something.

The Foray was productive though. It netted me a Vietnam era poncho. NOT the extremely heavy rubber covered green one but the lighter weight (the kind I had before) jungle camo version. I checked it over real good and as best as I can determine it is still all intact. IF there are any small areas that are leaking I can always buy a bottle of silicone they make for light weight tents and tarps. They also have liners but I didn't get one this time. That I will save for another day.

MSM Adapt Pack was backordered... Said they had 2 in stock when I ordered.

I did some shopping around and I don't think I'm going to find a pack that gets as close to what I want as that pack. I screwed around and cancelled the order but I'm thinking I should've just left it alone and waited it out. The other colors I might want are backorder for up to a couple months. And this particular site has the best price I've seen @ $86.

I've been wanting a decent edc pack for years now. I guess waiting a couple weeks wouldn't have matter that much.

I ordered some Red Kap ripstop shirts (SY60). I prefer a button up over a polo style shirt when it gets warmer out. The ripstop material may be too hot for summer wear here though. At $10 I figure I'll give then a try and if not for summer they will be fine to wear come the fall.

I've pick up quite few tactical shirts lately. Bought a few 5.11, some BlackHawk, and will probably snag a few Vertx shirts soon. I keep finding them heavily discounted here and there so I figure I should check them out. Some of them are fine everyday shirts that will last for a long long time but some are way over the top tactically and way too heavy material and build wise. They just wouldn't work well down here in the south. I guess maybe 2 to 3 months out of the year like my jackets. But really not my sort of thing...I probably will end up talking about them in the "sold" thread at some point.

That is why my ammo stash is almost as big as my food stash. lol

THAT'S a lot of ammo!

Why yes it is. LOL

really the only thing I am lacking as of now is 40 cal. because I traded it for 45 when I sold what I thought would be my last firearm in that cal. but I will soon rectify that situation shortly.

Shortly rectified situations are good.

I need to get some more mags for my Beretta 9mm's.

Gotta go pay for and pick this up Next weekend.
