IF the initial price is affordable, go with an RKI brand tool box. They warranty these things FOREVER. The one in my fathers truck is about 18 years old. It has been through 9 trucks and the hinges finally pilled away from the box itself. (Keep in mind we put about 50K miles a year on trucks.) He went to RKI to buy the hinges, and replace them himself. They took his keys and asked if he had an extra hour or so. Two hours later, his box had a new hinge, lifts, locks and seals. They handed him a certificate to an off site powder coater as their booth was not set for custom colors and charged him. . . $0.00. If you are looking for Auxiliary fuel and tool storage PM me, and I know of some folks to talk to.

I'm currently in the mode or reducing my accumulated possessions, not adding more. My wife and I agreed not to exchange gifts this year, and focus on charity and frugality instead. She's currently off delivering gifts, but I stayed home since I'm feeling a bit under the weather.
I got some flack from family on this same decision. How about you? I'm going to keep my comments about the "Flack" to myself. But I cut way back on much of my gift giving this year. I gave preparedness supplies and books to many, much to their displeasure. I'm weeding through my supply stock and am sending excess gear to forum friends that may find a use for it.

Being Jewish, we don't celebrate Christmas. However, my birthday is just a few days before, and I was the lucky recipient of a slightly used banjo purchased off of Craigslist.
This is actually a great survival tool. When played correctly (which I can't really do yet) it provides hours of family "together time" fun and requires no electrical power. We already have an accoustic guitar for this purpose, but I figure redundancy is a good thing in survival gear, no?
When played incorrectly or out of tune it works as an excellent emergency locator beacon (well, my wife says she can hear it anywhere in the house).
We agreed to give Hanukkah gifts to the kids only this year as a budget-cutting measure. Our recent move burned through a lot of cash, and the first priority is building the bank account back up.
Happy new year to you all.
