I am not going to get into a pissing match over McCann or what influence this site may have on his equipment choices. You can draw your own conclusions by simply looking at the evidence. He's been successful at promoting himself and his book and more power to him. If it encourages one extra person to be better prepared than the ultimate objective is served. I do this to save lives. The karma will take care of itself. <g>

OTOH, I suppose members here could mail the editors of F&S with their suggestion of ETS as a survival kit reference...perhaps they'll even publish one of the letters.
