Thanks Art, that's the kind of tough love I'm looking for. I've already removed the shotgun shells, figuring I can't carry 2 guns. I'll leave the .22 ammo, since it's lighter than heck. If I do grab the .22 rifle, chances are good I'll be in a rush and forget the ammo. Nice heavy club then.

Re: FSR milkshake packs. For now I'll keep these instead of power bars, which they replaced. It's dehydrated, so it's just "add water" and I suppose could eat dry (yum). Also, fairly well balanced nutrition.

Other random comments... the knife sharpener is this tiny one from County Comm: http://countycomm.com/sharpener.htm
Only about 2" long, weighs just a tad. I have a "pen" style sharpener in the kitchen, but find I sharpen better with a stone than a stick.

Again, thanks!
