Actually, Eugene, no ... I understood your response perfectly, which should probably worrry both of us. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Ironsraven ... get back to you on a 24-BoB. Working on it. It will probably just be a glorified EDC. Picked up a bigger sling bag and am going to screw around with it as my EDC bag for a while. Think I'll also add a Leatherman Kick to my belt for EDC, even though I wear dress slacks. The Kick is pretty light, and between the recent London events, reading this board and where I live, I'm thinking a little up-click in my preparedness might be a good idea.

In any case, I probably won't be bugging anywhere. Am a newspaper editor in the Chicago 'burbs, and if the doody hits the fan, I'll probably be buggin' straight to work if I'm not already there. No wife or kids, so for me the right thing to do would probably just go and do what I do best.

And i'm beggin' ya, no media jokes, please ... i'm not a high-ranking editor, and i already deal with the rather abusive public 55 or 60 hours a week. <img src="/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />
