I repacked my larger "winter" psk tin to keep in a coat pocket. It just has more room in it. It's a copper-colored (not copper) cookie cutter tin that is real strong and durable, but a little longer lengthwise than a SAS tobacco tin. I can stick many extras that I want in my kit that way.

I stocked more food, lots of coffee and tea Sharpened knives. Am in the process of repacking BOB.

I purchased a 3-gallon plastic water carrier for my main vehicle, to add to my existing water supply. I put a tag on it to remind me when to rotate the water.

Samething I do everyweek Pinky, try and reorganize my kits <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I finally went and bought a sillcock key tonight. My motive was partly because it will come in handy when working sometimes as well as needing it in an emergency.

Three of my four sons and I went to a gun show last weekend. Once a year Cold Steel comes to Phoenix. We bought an SRK($45), Recon Tonto($45), two True Flight Throwers($15), and 4" Voyager Tanto($15). Also got an Ontario TEK ($65) for my wife for Christmas. Got a .22lr mag for my Glock 23 Advantage Arms slide ($20) from the Glockmeister. <img src="/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

I finally bought the SOG Powerlock multitool I have been wanting after finding the best price. I researched it a long time and for what I (repeat "I" -- not necessarily anyone else) want in a multitool it beats any Leatherman save for maybe having an S30V knife blade...but I tote a RSK MkI EDC anyway. Among other things it has the wood saw, awl, 1/4 " drive, and patent pending V-Cutter instead of scissors.

Tested and used propane heater for a bit to keep operation fresh in my head.
Changed oil in both trucks.
Installed and removed snow chains from both vehicles a few times. This was mostly a refresher for my wife if she needs to do it by herself.

bought hand warmers and food for winter car kits
added sleeping bag to car
Testing radios
continuning exercise program

Lets see; first & foremost, I found this site <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Second, I FINALLY found a good pocketknife to replace my almost decade old Benchmade that disappeared into a river in August. I picked up a RSK mini Mk I, should be here tomorrow. I cant TELL you how happy I am to finally have a DECENT pocketknife again!
Lastly, I am teaching my 14 y/o nephew the basics of survival craft. Tonight, I started him on knot tying, and gave him homework. I told him that, come spring, he'll have enough knowledge to go into the woods with me for 3 days & live reasonably comfortably, with only the minimal amount of kit. I'd have to say that the best part of knowing all this, is being able to pass it on.

Absolutley nothing.


I did buy a gerber rip stop folder last week for a good deal.
