Sorry I didn't give you credit for the list, I didn't remember who I copied it from. I also don't remember what I had for breakfast today, but that is another story/problem...

NightHiker,

BTW, AFAIAC & IMHO you should keep your EDC (9mm or .40), RSK, PSK (contains a SAK) and FAK in your BOB (AKA Backpack) in case of a local SHTF which will be a STS situation. AOT a TEOWAWKI situation in which you will need toss your BOB into your BOV and head to your BOL ASAP. Also FWIW remember to KISS. AAA so you can PM. GTG so AFK for now... BBS - LOL
