A Wiggy's sleeping bag vacuum packed wouldn't be small enough for a keychain carry but it would fit nicely into a bug-out-bag with room to spare I guess. But it's not inexpensive, $175.00 just for their exclusive vacuum packaging.

I would have to opt for the M-79 with 20 rounds of Willy Pete.

It will provide a nice warm fire while I await the arrival of the: ATF, FBI, DHS, USA, USANG, USMC, USAF, USFS, and every other government agency that can make a claim to defend us from terrorists,,,,and I know that they will bring all kinds of fancy cop equipment with them, taking 8x10 color glossy photos of my approach that got me lost, the north, south, east, and west views of my "waiting for help site", etc.etc.

With any luck, I'll even get a blind judge with a seeing eye dog who won't be able to look at the 8x10 color glossy photos.

Alices Restaurant???????

Isn't it just a half a mile past the railroad tracks, in an old church? I think, you can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant, excepting Alice!!!! If I remember right????

I know that I am telling on my age, but Blast, you're showing yourself to be a 60's music fan!

Today, with all the identity theft concerns, that song may never have been written...

Think about it:
...we got a phone call from Officer Obie. He said, "Kid, we found your name on a envelope at the bottom of a half a ton of garbage and I just wanted to know if you had any information about it."

Shredders weren't every day items back then in Stockbridge I guess grin
