Bruce,<br><br>You are correct about the password - that's new! And I don't know anything about it. But it's not a military site - it's a commercial surplus site. At least, it was. Chris K. had posted them twice previously for other items before I posted them for Field Trousers.<br><br>The url for US military sites ends with ".mil" - like "xxxxx.army.mil" . A url that ends in ".com" is a commercial site of some sort - in any event, it is not a US military site. I know that doesn't help much, but that's all I know about it...<br><br>Good luck with the Pinewood Derby! Hope your son enjoys it. Mine are a bit older now - number 2 son was my assistant instructor for a winter survival training exercise we ran for interested scouts in our district this past weekend - we had a great time. Number 1 was studying and number 3 got ill at the last moment, but my wife was there working out of the admin office as my logistical support and she managed to hike out after dark the second night and stay out with me (I DID make my shelter large enough for her JUST in case <G>). We really enjoy the family aspects of this stuff a lot.<br><br>Thanks to a lot of great ideas here, all the participants "built" PSKs into Altoids tins during the classroom portion. They are not as complete as ours, but they have most of the critical items in them, Couldn't manage the iodine tabs nor a vial for them (do not feel like buying 1000 vials) and of course they can add a light source or not as their re$ource$ permit. I used a roasting bag instead of condoms for water carrier and showed them how to carry, secure, and use it - I like those better, anyway. Good stuff, and they are all eager for the next phase/exercise.<br><br>I did not allow them to use matches, and one 13yr old scout in particular was sort of getting desperate to get his fire going. He had not prepared his components properly, almost got it going once, only to lose the flames. He sat there for a bit and then slowly gathered up the proper materials and laid them out carefully. Dark and getting colder now, and I could see "spark!" "spark!" "spark!" - suddenly, a small orange flame lit up the darkness and he fed it carefully until he had a nice small fire safely going. In a scene out of "Castaway", he jubilantly danced around his little fire, gesturing and shouting "I - MADE - FIRE!" etc - all the lines from that scene, complete with antics - a miniature Tom Hanks - I laughed till the tears came and went over to squat by his fire and congratulate him. The whole tedious preparation and effort was worth it just for that one moment. Tonight at the regular meeting (he's in our troop), he was soberly explaining to the scouts who did not participate just how important doing everything right was when building a fire and when he got to the critical part, he jumped up and acted out the whole scene again, complete with gestures and shouting. He really got his point across better than anything I could have done or said, and I'm still chuckling as I write this...<br><br>May your son's car be fast enough to thrill him!<br><br>Scouter Tom
