I have to be honset and say that I'm very reluctant to use any of "MY GEAR" that has been packed and re-packed , cleaned and sorted and carefuly placed in its exact place only to be used in an emergency. IT"S MY GEAR AND YOU CAN"T PLAY TOO!
unless there is bleeding involved then we'll break out the FAK and see if a band aid can be spared. if one is used, we must run right out and re place it with a brand new box of the same size.
All kidding aside, I use my gear all the time but i replace anything that gets use as soon as i can usualy that day .
There is a rule that you can't just go into the gear and take anything you might need. It is "MY GEAR" <img src="/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
