Drudge Report has a little something about how the feds are shipping chemwarfare antidotes to the cities that will be hosting the political conventions this year.
Toldja so.

If it were me, and, happily, it aint, I would probably make real sure I kept an ear on the news if I lived in one of those cities.

This years little field exercise went nicely, although it was absolutely brutal on my body in terms of the sheer amount of walking and hill climbing.

CamelBaks have consistently proved themselves to be worth every penny
Bring more than one flavor of Gatorade
Bring more snack food that can be eaten while walking
CFP-90 backpack worked well. The detachable waist belt was nice for using as a utility/gunbelt when roaming from the base camp
The USMC Combat Tent by Eureka, although a bit heavy, is a nice piece of gear
LED microlights are the way to go for in-tent/around the camp at night
Boonie hats never go out of style..esp. when you dunk them in a cold stream , wring them out and wear them

The assault-weapon ban is poised to expire soon (although not soon enough). If it does get renewed it may get renewd and strengthened to include even more things that have nothing to do with reducing crime. Might be a good time to pick up one or two extra mags and some spare parts…..just in case.

I still maintain that youre going to see an attempt made at election-influencing terrorist actions ala Spain later this year.
