A tip for those who want to carry bags for this purpose is to use the thin plastic fruit/vegetable bags that you get free at the grocery to put your produce in. They are food grade plastic, and because they're so thin, you can compact several in a very small space. They're also free, which is another bonus.

sharp, I just got a cliff bar (just one... and for no apperent reason).. I really want to see what they're like and I never knew wawa had them so I got one when I saw it.

I'm gonna like... run around for a few hours with nothing to eat and try one.

(jk of course)

They're an acquired tasted. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Cookies n' Cream is the best flavor. Followed by Chocolate Chip and Peanut Butter Crunch. Good eatin'. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

the purple!
thats the one I got.
I don't think any energy bar is that great... but these don't seem like they'd be too bad.
either way I'm gonna try it... but I'm saving it for a special time.

Eat it...eat it... EAT IT!!!!!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Well, I think the good thing about cliff bars is that they aren't just protein that's been whipped 10000 times into the thickest paste possible.

sig line.

a few items, not really my psk. that little clipon led is sick. i don't wear hats with a bill, but it clips to my wool cap over my ear and lights up exactly what i'm looking at. brighter than my photon, but it is newer after all, and only $1.50.

firesteel...i'd rather have a mag block. or lighter. matches.

that UKPK rocks. it could be the one. we'll see how the composition bladed kershaws stand up against it.

Nice little rig you got there M22


Done. You really seem to like suggesting sig lines. Mind giving me a Sig Sauer to go with it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

I know the portly ninja and since he is a fellow canadian all that extra padding is important winter insulation. I am a bit on the well insulated side myself.
I was going to do some WW2 reanacting but I ended up looking a lot more like Herman Goering than Otto Skorzeny.

You don't need to be that agile anyway if you have a Busse AK47 and a Wilson combat shotgun <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I try to carry the least amount of gear possible. A canteen ,my SS4 and my CS Norse Hawk(with some modds) and a bic lighter and decent LED flashlight was my basic kit last year. This year I may try the DFLE instead of the hawk and I have a couple knives to try out in place of the SS4 including the YKCG ,Spyderco Mule and Chris Reeve Inyoni.

I spend a lot more time on my quad than on foot though.

As for clothing I like a mix of canadian army surplus and good hiking gear.
Wool is by far my favourite material. It is way better than cotton and even better than the best of the hi tech synthetics. You can get really nice fine wool that does not itch. It also works while it is wet unlike anything else.
I am also going to get myself a coyote fur hoody one of these days. They have the perfect camo for our area and are warm and light weight. I hope fur makes a comeback. Until you have worn it you really don't know what your missing. Especially in cold weather there is nothing better.

I am also getting another one of those coonskin caps with the head on the front to wear on my trip to london.

Well, It's not accually a psk but here's some stuff I have in my backpack.

My Maxpedition Condor II w/ Combat monkey admin pouch attached.

You should add some paracord and a canteen + cup then you will be set.

I want a ash-1 so bad.

Well, I ordred 100 ft of Paracord and a combat master sheath for my ASH, The sheath was back ordered and it has been about 3 weeks....
Right now I am giving the ASH-1 a really thin edge, I might post pics later.
