    1. If it's in your kit and you don't know how to use it....It's useless.
    2. If you can't reach your kit when you need it....Its useless.

    GreatWhiteHunter - if you ask 100 people that have served in the military that question, you will probably get 100 different answers - but they will have one thing in common. The bond that you build with your fellow Soldier, Sailor, Airman or Marine will last a lifetime.

    Don't leave Colorado.

    My point was - the military is not for everybody. If you do not want to leave Colorado don't join the military, for if you do.....you will most assuredly leave Colorado for sunnier and warmer climates.

    You see - that's why I said stay in Colorado. I know that I and many others would be proud to once again serve side by side with those serving today. Not that we would look forward to it, but rather out of a sense of duty.

    Stay in Colorado.

    Crash, I agree. I would do it without hesitation. well maybe just a little hesitation.

    GWH, Colorado would still be there when you got out.

    Without the "U.S. Air force" The "U.S. Army" would be standing on the beach waving to the U.S. Marines and U.S. Navy as they go off to fight Americas enemies.

    The most highly trained and independently operating team of U.S. military men is not the Green beret's, Delta force, Marine recon or Navy seals. This team recruits from the Navy seals first then from everyone else. Can anyone guess what branch of the U.S. military this team belongs to and what they are called?

    Man, that's quite a list, is it Captain America and his little pal Bucky? Just a guess,

    Hey cabin building guy, yeah, if you're a thousand miles from any town in Canada, there wasn't any cell phone service to begin with and you're pretty much ****ed unless you've got some major wilderness skills, or a plane coming for you, so maybe dream up a different scenario.
    some fella confronted me the other day and asked "What's your problem?" So I told him, "I don't have a problem I am a problem"

    One problem with people like GWH, is that they are cityfied and unable to understand a rural or wilderness environment. They have romantisized possible wilderness events based on Hollywood, TV etc...

    Nope, but good try.
