As far as Im concerned, that election was something of a nailbiter….from my perspective it worked out as well as could be expected. Doesnt change anything in terms of my plans or preperations…simply gives me a bit more time to accumulate certain things that a political seachange could make difficult.

I visited Eureka’s military division’s website (http://www.eurekatents.com/tents/combat.html] and saw that they have a really cool individual shelter I want. Didnt see any on ebay so theyre probably going to be pretty hard to find.
=====
Found a fairly decent deal ($12.95) for the large 90mm steel ammo cans…these are the ones with the six locking dogs on the sides of the lid. Watertight, airtight, and big enough to hold a good amount of gear. Never know when things are gonna take a soaking…watertight is a good thing. Esp. if youre gear is going to be sitting in the back of a pickup truck in the snow and rain or have to be left out under a tree somewhere for an indefinite amount of time.

Speaking of leaving stuff in the boonies, the subject of geocaching has a certain appeal to me. Someone gives you coordinates to a hidden object and you use your GPS to track down the cache of goodies. I would think the appeal is obvious. This is something I need to do some more of.

Christmas is coming and Ive figured out what Im getting the LMI this year.

Mmmmm..at the moment its still anyones ballgame. I need to start planning in case the political tide turns. More mags, couple more guns, more mags.

Surprisingly, no big terrorist event. I wonder if maybe they figured that doing something spectacular, as in Spain, would galvanize people to keep Bush in office since he has a track record of invading two countries and jailing at least one head of government.

The videotape by Bin Laden may be all they could muster up..and if you read the transcripts, it isnt even a trheat..its a ‘leave us alone and we’ll leave you alone’ sort of thing. Sounds like maybe someone has had enough.

Eureaka has a webpage devoted to their several military tents…including a lightweight camouflage one-man model that Im going to have to try and get my hands on.

Need: AR mags, AK mags, P35 mags, FAL mags.
