So? An adult threatening an 11 year old is showing big balls? A continuation of this would probably not serve much purpose. I really don't know your history nor your occupation(s). If you want to...

Ahh, never seen them in use. I was raised anti-union, so the tactics of those involved with them were never of much interest to me. The company my father owned voted to go union after 70 years of...

You really shouldn't be threatening an enraged moose with a water purifier anyway. It just makes them think you aren't taking them seriously. Besides, moose are big enough to remove from potential...

Most probable scenario
To combat the direct rays of the sun, you place the plastic over you. Thirst is quenched by sipping from the can of water. No fish are caught, seems to be a bad area for...

You can also give an attacking bear or mountain lion a brutal poodle cut and make it the laughingstock of the forest. Within a few days it will die of embarrassment.

The plastic toothpick could give someone a nasty poke in the eye. A well timed attack with the scissors might be a devastating assault on overgrown nose hairs of an opponent. Never doubt the mighty...

The only downside is that (like landmines) it is extremely difficult to un-caltrop an area. In a woodlands area, once they are down, that area is going to be a hazard for friend or foe...

Caltrops are ancient devices, I believe they were originally made popular in Biblical times as cavalry deterrents. I vaguely recall adaptations used in WWI and WWII for use against horse drawn...

Hopefully it will not gain strength beyond the predicted Cat 1. I saw some Cat 2 predictions yesterday, those seem to have been downsized to all Cat 1. Basin water temperatures are so high though...

I use a product called Weapon Shield, mainly used as a CLP for my firearms. Works well on knives also. Zero rust in a fairly moist climate.

Just curious as to the source of your facts? Fire statistics from Kentucky and Virginia don't come close to your 96% mark. Lightning, which you cite as "most prevalent" is the cause of 1% to 3% in...

No whistle? I'm very disappointed. Guess I'll have to wait for next year's model.

..... must .... resist .... grrrrr .... ARRRRGHHHHH.

A decent summary of the Black Rhino non-issue. But yes, pretty much the same sort of thing that swirled around Black Talons.

Heh, kids of today have more disposable income than you think. $100 is nothing to most kids. I know kids whose parents are on welfare (I suppose Public Assistance is the PC term nowadays) and still...

A cell phone to call for pizza and beer. Then a taxi to get home. :)

Err, was that cheating?

As I recall, the original panic about Black Talons was that they were 'cop killers'. Able to penetrate vests of the day like hot knives through butter. Later proven false, of course. That led to a...

Bicycle tire inner tube. $.99 at the local dollar store. Medical supply stores carry tubing. Some outdoor stores carry it as well. Also, as mentioned by someone else, dive shops.

I grew up in...

I agree, but that's not the way the talking heads from the marketing departments want the general public to think. They want to sell more knives. Buzzwords and categories sell more knives. I've been...

It probably isn't the type of trip you are looking for, but you might want to check out Monroe County, Florida (not the keys, the section south of Collier County). No rafting, canoeing and kayaking...

First Beowulf is trying to nuke us all, now Dan is trying to take away beer. Enough is enough! Fine, I'll sit next to the guy with the briefcase nuke while drinking a 12 pack. That'll larn 'em! :)

Are those the ones that have both a manual activation button and a salt water immersion emergency device (after a period of time in salt water, they activate automatically)?

I was reading the other day that quite a few of the wilderness guide/outfitters were now requiring or issuing those PLBs (personal locator beacons). I think some of the newer model GPS units now (or...

Several states had issued fish consumption advisories a few years back. From what I recall, they were mainly a caution to women under the age of 45 (child bearing years). Very similar to this but...

Black Talons were never illegal and aren't now. A quick read of several firearms forums seems to indicate that many feel the Ranger SXT design is the same bullet, just without a coating. There is...
