Reading "To Build a Fire" by Jack London... one of the all time great survival stories (IMHO). If you haven't read it... it if freely available on the web... good stuff folks.
 
Last evening my 5 year old son wanted to hold my Rat Pack knife so I helped him take it out of the sheath and cautioned him to be careful. He just held it with a hardened gleam and a smirk. I was putting it up and he said "I know your number..three three six". told him thats right. He has a dull, small SAK he calls his RAT Knife and he is trying to get my dog tags. Im not sure where hes getting all these ideas....

My son wants a knife when we go on walks...he's only 3. I tell him its for big boys and he can have one when he's older, then he askes for a babys knife! He says the same thing about beer, he wants babys beer! Kids! I guess he is his fathers son...

Man, I read that in high school, and loved it. London's writing is so vivid!

I just read that one again a couple of weeks ago Coffee. It was cold outside one night and that story popped into my mind from back when I was in high school. Here is a website dedicated to Jack London you might be interested in.

I didn't read it until I was out of school, but a friend gave me a book that had the story in it, I read it the first time while winter camping in the Green Mountains and it made quite the impression.

A truly wonderful writer. Hard to read one of his story's and not feel like you are right there watching it, being part of it all.

That being said, it is 9 degrees out (it's warmed up a bit) and heavy winds, -10 or so for the wind chill today. Great time to read a survival story about not surviving....
 
whooohoooooooo, the package I thought lost turned up after all!
So now I have those mini LED lights, that I'll be using as name tags (small stickers with the names) on my christmas presents ...

Do you exchange your presents with people in the middle of the night with the lights off?


:D

Just kidding Kitty, thats a cool idea.

Well... I was thinking that my cats would lose their minds over not only having a lite up tree, but presents.... oh my..... especially iPod (he only has one eye, hence the name) he would go crazy of lite up presents...

Where did you order them from again? :D

It's a long story...My name will pop up alot if you google rec.sport.paintball, and not really in good ways. did a few IRC servers, basically ran with all the internet delinquents. played with team internet for years (tyger is a tool), and ran with the "i have no idea" and "Hanta Force" guys for a ton of rec fun.

you wanna hit castle this year, I'll break out palmer stock gun serial # 2, and finally fix up that KP2-sc :)

Moved from the badge thread... :)

Wow, you've been playin a while... I started playing in.... either summer of 91 or 92, can't remember, Been on gawd knows how many times, but the year before last was my first year at Castle... I pretty much have the same nickname on the other forums as here... I am going to try to get down to fall Castle I think this year, the Spring one is too close to Blade and I won't be able to get the vacation time for both.

99% of my gear has been given away, or sold off at this point, but I bet if I cleaned out the gearbag, I could put together a couple of spyders, maybe a AutoMag or two from the parts. Speedball really killed the sport for me, the simple cost of playing.
