life has a funny way of getting back to us, whether the wheel has turned on some unforgettable experience or just popped in to say hello...it is bigger than you or I will ever be...be prepared...it can't hurt...so whether you carry more than you can spare ( or chew) its okay...size doesn't matter, my blade can do the same things as your blade?

When your wife takes you to the cleaners for a divorce and you can smile,...thats survival...
When you have topped your budget, and still manage to buy that knife...thats survival...when you look around you and the world, and see that you are still aokay, thats survival...

and many moons down the line, Pops and his buddies will still contribute to ETS about things we learnt and those we didn't...

When they lay me down, hopefully they will say, there goes a man who took care of his family, if not himself!...thats survival...

and he learnt all these skills on ETS!

Wow. You're very poetic, and to think you owe it all to ETS. I wonder, "Will I be so fortunate?"
