Roarmeister: Caveat accepted. My post assumed the object of the payment is open for business or the person to be influenced, I.e. wants/ needs the money. I have seen people take cash change and coat it in hand sanitizer. I tried it for giggles.

The Hill People Gear Kit Bag is a great pack to carry a minimal kit. It's primarily marketed as a way to carry a handgun so when I see one I automatically think "gun"...but other folks use them differently. It's a chest rig, and there are

I'm pretty happy in Montana but I couldn't rule out moving back to Idaho if the right job opportunity presented itself. My job here is very good; meaningful work and the benefits are great. If I didn't stay in the west for whatever reason I wouldn'
