The DR's PSK was in the LL Bean catalog I received today, but the copy implied it was a FAK for 4+ people???????? Oh well.

<sigh> If someone who gets LL Bean catalog could email me a photo or scan of this page in the printed catalog, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks!

Thanks to Sinjz, here's the page. Suffice to say that the body of the text refers to the AMK Ultralight .7 first aid kit, not the Pocket Survival pak which seems to have almost been added as an afterthought.. The text for the Pocket Survival Pak is, obviously, wrong. Not sure what the LLBean catalog people were thinking...but I don't think I'll plan on retiring on sales from this catalog. <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> Considering all the effort it took on AMK's part to get it placed, this is very disappointing.

Oh, you mean the page with the Pocket Medic image instead of the Pocket Survival Pak? <img src="/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
