Well yes I am that fellow....and thanks for those kind words. I was really sad the old magazine went inactive because I really enjoyed doing those articles.

Specifically to the old EDC articles....most if not all of my kit ideas came from studying this forum and adapting and modifying other peoples ideas and observations to my own "style". We had an moderate earthquake here in Seattle in 2001...it was not long after that I found this place and started seriously working on my plans.



The magazine is available in the archives....my old stuff:

Now as to that Zippo fuel tank...so far I have not been successful locating one for sale anywhere.

Anyone else looking.....and finding?
