Okay. Well? Are you gonna tell us or do we have to guess? What's in it?
I'm guessing smokes and a lighter.
Maybe roll your own. That would explain why he sort of wandered off like that.:eek::D:D

"Vanilla flavored creamer."
"Got you, old timer! We finally caught you."
It was true. After decades of skirting the law, it looked like Hope's days of vanilla flavored creamer running, or vfcr as they call it in the trade, were over. He accepted his fate as casually as he accepted his life. Born in to an outlaw clan of vanilla flavored creamer smugglers, he had no other choice. He never knew any other life. Never considered there was anything else he could have done.
But hope had a secret. Something these lawmen had never considered. By now the entire town was addicted. Drying up their supply would mean the lawmen would hang. Not Hope. Their craving was stronger than their sense of right and wrong.
Stay tuned next week, friends, for another rousing edition of Hope in Alaska. The True Crime Story of the North's Notorious Vanilla Flavored Creamer Smuggler.

An aspiring novelist worth a dime.
i got this really cool bag called an EOD utility bag. ive had it for a couple of weeks now and i love the thing. i take it to work and wherever i go. right now i have a mini first aid kit in it, a small flashlight, headache medicine, my leatherman, some granola bars, my ipod, a lighter and some other items for work. ive used the first aid kit already to bandage a coworkers finger. i call it my ready to go bag, this bag has helped me out a few times already. im also gonna use it as a camera bag when i go on trips or hikes.
For my everyday carry I use a backpack, for my get home bag in my truck I use a large ammo can with a watertight lid.
I recently bought a Maxpedition Falcon-II pack. It's supposed to hold the Camelbak 100 oz. hydration system. Well, it does, when you squeeze it in. However, there's not much room for a lot of anything else. It's a decent daypack, very well designed and constructed to hold several SMALL items.
It holds a decent amount of survival gear and all, but not much else. No room for extra clothes, etc. I'd love this thing if it were twice the size.
Has anyone used the Camelbak BFM?
It all depends on what I'm doing. My standard kit for day hikes fits in a small MountainSmith fanny pack. I also have a nearly identical kit in a ranger vest with a 50 oz. bladder in the back pocket if it's a little cool, but not enough to warrant a jacket. If I'm xc-skiing then I go to a daypack with down pants, down jacket, spare gloves, socks, balaclava, thermos, stove and more food. If I'm on the bike, I usually go with a mid-sized Deuter pack with a 70-100 oz. bladder.
I'm generally comfortable with my own version of the 10 essentials, which always includes clothing for 15 degrees colder than I'm expecting. Sometimes that means a big bag, sometimes that's pretty minimal.
When I go out in the woods I generally carry my gear in a Fieldline cargo fanny pack. It has 13 pockets, holds all my gear and a couple of 40oz. water bottles. And it's very comfortable to wear.
Around town, I have a custom made ballistic nylon shoulder rig that I wear. I can keep my ID, money, etc. in it and it keeps everything pick-pocket proof and secure in case I were to get into situation where I need to defend myself.
I, too, have a variety of bags. For an extended hike/stay, I would have my internal frame backpack and a large camera bag/fanny pack. The camera bag/fanny pack I added a shoulder harness to (worn under the backpack), so it takes some of the weight of the backpack. I also have a shoulder bag (weighs about 6 oz, empty) that I can use when I'm "out there" instead of carrying my full pack around (I'd cache/stash the primary packs and just carry what I need for the day's "outing"). I also have my "survival" stuff compartmentalized in smaller bags (in the backpack) so that it stays organized and I can just grab a bag as I need it.
I'm lost after five pages of posts. For day hikes, etc I use The North Face Hot Shot II Day Pack. I got the all black one from Altrec. When I'm off I just want to blend in with the tourists. Here's a link to an ugly one LOL

I got Camelbak like this with an insulating tube in a matching black color to put in my day pack. I got it at REI, but here's all I could find of their's that's similar.

I don't backpack, but I wouldn't mind buying a backpacking-grade backpack. I'll think about that later.
For day hikes and the overnight kayaks I've used it for I just pack the typical short-term survival and first aid supplies along with snacks, rain suit, short-term hygiene items and a change of undies and socks, etc with an insulating layer if need be along with camera, GPS, spare mags (the ranger always has a gun lol). The usual crap.
This is also the bag for my SAR stuff.
It's made to lash my sleeping bag and pad, etc to, but I've never tried it.
For my day trips I use a gun belt with a Y harness, carrying a saw pouch, canteen, and magazine pouch.
For multi-night trips I have an external frame pack by Camptrails. The pack is 20 years old, torn and sewn back together in four places, but it works for me. One day I will replace it, but not today.
Well if it works for you, then it works for me.Quote:
