The buck saw is home made out of oak dowel. But, I would just put the blade (shortened down) in my pack. I had a folding saw and the blade broke last weekend. So, while I decide what to get next I made this thing. It cuts very well. Much better than my folding saw.
Anyway, if I can find a place to buy just the saw for the back of my axe I will. Good combo!
Um... does the saw fit in the axe handle?Quote:

Yep! It tucks snugly up into the handle and stays there quite well. I love it! It's not that pricy either. I got it cheeper at a sporting goods store than at the Gerber site. It only cost me like 30.00.Quote:

Hell, I think I paid that for the axe alone. Doesn't look like the saw would fit in my axe though.Quote:

There is a really strong magnet that keeps it in the axe really snug. I think I got the price I got because I got it off season and from a small little mom and pop place. I really lucked out on that price. worth the purchase in my opinion...
well that there is evidence of people thinking. it does happen once in awhile.
I like gerber and i like the design.
OMG i cant stand it, Thats so cool.

Am currently reading the manual with it. (106 pages) I'll post a review when I get done checking it all out.
as answer to the original question fo this thread:
NOTHING!
I have a couple of white gas lanterns and decided I'd rather have something that's propane for the house. So I picked up a couple of propane lanterns and a Deitz lantern on eBay for $9.99 plus $17 shipping. One of the propane lanterns is missing the heat shield and the tank stand but I ordered both for $15 including shipping. So, for less than $35 I wound up with a couple of propane lanterns and a deitz lantern. All I did was clean them up and add new wicks and some fuel. I think I'll pick up one of those 30 inch propane trees so I can hook a lantern directly to a 20lb tank. Those rascals throw out some heat, too!
Before....

And after...I'm waiting for the parts to come in for the second propane lantern so I don't blow the house up.

Nice finds.
I know there are some Deitz lovers on here and I don't mean to disparage them but this little guy (I think it's a 20) is made cheaper than a Toyota. It's made of super thin tin. House flashing is thicker. If it's out of adjustment you just bend it a bit and everything seems to work. The older ones must be better quality. If you look at the one picture you can see the Made in China label on the bottom.
Ive got a few old Deitz lanterns and there pretty solid. have no experiance with any of the new stuff of theres.
I cant beleive I missed that picture, but Im just curious How are the two midgets standing next to him.Quote:

Wally's even sells Deitz looking lanterns that are made of plastic.
Plastic Lanterns? what the heck wouldnt that melt?Quote:

I will put that on my list too. Im curious now.Quote:

If you look at it like it is in the pic.With the lever that raises the globe on the right. Look on that tube about an inch or two above the lever.You may see a buch of patent dates.The last one is usually the year it was made.
Added a Barnett wildcat crossbow to my arsenal, Also got cellular/satalite internet for my laptop, added another 250 rounds of 30.06, 500 rounds of .223, 1,000 rounds of .22 ammo. Man I LOVE tax refund time:clap::clap:
Put in my first Safe zone order! I tore my BOB apart Thursday night and realized I took a few things for granted. Now I need to add a few items to it!
Can you tell a little more about your internet reception? this is the second time I have seen someone post about a cellular/ satellite internet device.Quote:

The only real difference between it and standard internet service is it's a few seconds slower and you only get so much usage ( megabyte's) a month after that you pay for extra "time" kinda like on a cell phone. Mine operates ( best i understand) off both cell towers and cellular satelite.Quote:

Made a minnow seine out of a 2 liter bottle and baited it with bread. Last I checked after it being in the water for hours, it still only had bread in it.:sneaky2:
Had a long life battery in the laptop and solar charger IIRC.Quote:

OS - I would imagine the satellite portion is for location ID (911 service) rather than call connection. My guess is you will be limited to cellular coverage just like your cell phone although one may be able to gain a connection where the other may not because of differences in antennae and/or shielding.
From what I have read on AT&T's site, they will be adding the ability to access both cellular radio networks and SAT service through Terrestar. It will require an additional monthly fee. It will also require the use of a Terrestar smart phone. The Terrestar Genuis.
Terrestar Genus Service and availability
Quote:
Coverage for the hybrid cellular/satellite service will include the continental United States, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, and U.S. territorial waters. No pricing has been announced, but from the sounds of it, Genus service will not be cheap. When you buy the Genus, AT&T will require you to sign up for AT&T data and voice service (just like the iPhone), as well as a monthly satellite access feature. On top of that, additional roaming charges will apply when using the satellite service.
The device is scheduled to launch in the first three months of 2010, and will only be available to enterprise, government, first responder units, and small business users. Plans are in the works to introduce a similar service for individual consumers. That may get some of you excited, but be prepared to shell out big bucks just for the added security of knowing your cell phone is always connected.
The device runs Windows Mobile 6.5 OS. So its a given you can tether it to a laptop. I have tethered all my phones, including my iPhone, for years. I had internet access after Wilma as soon as the cellular traffic slowed down enough to make it worth it. Used my trucks inverter to charge the laptop and phone.
You can tether most 3G or 4G phones and get decent speeds. I have tried bluetooth tethering and I prefer a wired connection. Bluetooth is to prone to interference for my liking in this application.
Like Rick said it is currently cellular only at $60.00 a month for 5mb of usage, the sat. option is coming soon acording to at&t the cost is estimated at $ 125.00 per month. But that price is not firm.
Batch - How are you tethering your laptop to your cellphone? Are you using a USB to cell phone port cable?
Also - I assume you are using your 3G/4G account to access the net?
Finally - Does your provider require a tethering add to your account to be able to do that or did you use something like QPST to unlock the phone?
I picked up a NIB M1950 Stove w/pot and a NIB Marine Corps multi fuel stove w/pot. Both come with spare parts and tools and the Marine Corps stove had a fuel bottle with it.
My (6) 3 liter collapsible water jugs arrived over the week-end.
