Equipped To Survive and the Equipped To Survive logo are finally registered trademarks! My thanks to ETS board member Scott Weide http://www.weidemiller.com/ who persevered for over two years with the idiot examiner at the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

For those of you here who have at various times been given permission to re-publish materials from ETS, at the next re-printing, please change the TM to a circle R. If on the Web, please change at your earliest convenience.

Over the next few months you'll see these changes implemented on the ETS site.

Thanks for the site !

Meanwhile, in San Luis Obispo some idiot is still trying to unload a garage full of survival gear at the local flea market <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Great news, Doug.

And who might this idiot be, and what is in the stack? <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Congratulations on trademarking Equipped to Survive! (Equipped to Survive is a registered trademark of Equipped to Survive, Inc.)

I'm going to hate having to put that disclaimer in whenever I mention Equipped to Survive. (Equipped to Survive is a registered trademark of Equipped to Survive, Inc.)

There is no Equipped To Survive, Inc., however, if you want to get technical, Equipped To Survive? and the Equipped To Survive? logo mark are registered trademarks owned by Douglas S. Ritter and licensed (free of charge) to Equipped To Survive Foundation, Inc. for its non-exclusive use. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
