Got my Maxpedition Falcon II in yesterday. Really like it. I was concerned it wouldn't fit me too well at my size, but it fits with no issues. However, the waist belt is useless to me. Gonna attach a Max Proteus to it in the near future, as forum member daug suggested: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/s...on-Falcon-II-Question?p=10041046#post10041046

Why, thank you kind sir. I like it thus far.
Thanks Murph. This is my first Max pack. Heavy duty, for sure.

man, what a long fun day so far 
got up EARLY, and have been playing at the range... sighted in the .22LR with the GOOD ammo and was doing some nice 1 inch groups at 50 yds, so went to the 100 yard, i mean METER range... oh wait, 100 METERS... er, what's that in YARDS, cuz my sights need to know... 109.36133 yards roughly. oh, good, my scope has a 110 yd line. NOW the bullets hit the 10 ring. ye yah. MUCH better
note to self: complain to management that the 100 yards range is METERS. it makes a different quite a lot with .22LR
the other two ranges are 25 yards and 50 yards, and the long range is 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, and 600 yards... but NOOOOooooooOOOOO, stupid range is in meters.
that would explain last season's sighting in with the so-so ammo not being quite where i liked it. well, within six inches, but oddly low also a bit scatter plot looking, cuz it's so-so ammo. GOOD ammo is within 2 inches or so if you do everything right, and the wind isn't blowing. i'm willing to believe that doing everything VERY well might gain a 1/2 in or so, and using VERY good ammo would help quite a lot.
nonetheless, i am feared by chipmunks and other small critters now. well, if i was a hunter of other than paper targets.
and that's my day so far. time for some flesh of cow or something.
first a shower.
whee

Here's another nod to the solidly-built Camelbak military line. I've got a Linchpin pack and the thing is a great, solid and cool bit of gear. Doesn't even screw with my balance when I'm riding my bicycle around and I dig the 3L reservoir. I'm a thirsty dude
In other news, not owning a proper big chopper, I've been mighty tempted as of late by the BK-9. At the moment I'm eyeballing which blades I can sell off to make some $ for car parts, but maybe a 9 could fit in there somewhere...
Ah decisions

If you're still on the fence, I suggest you peruse Trade's BK9 review. It's a little long-winded, but you'll be happy you took the time to review it.

Haha. I just had a visual of ninja cap'n materializing from a bush, tackling you and then disappearing again.

does sound fun but also sounds complicated. im contemplating my very first firearm purchase(s) and am intimidated by all the mathlike decisions. braining is hard.

Trade plays dirty. You should throw a bear at him.
