Just got my package from a certain military supply catalog in KY. Blackhawk makes their U.S. flag patches in the U.S. That's pretty damned cool!

Awesome pack Murph...

Thanks Flexxx! I've yet to take it on a real hike, but it's pretty awesome so far. I gave up my British Bergen to justify this one, so it has some pretty big shoes to fill.

Hey hey everyone i got a great idea!! Lets all go on to beckerchat and have a virtual beckerhead gathering!!!

 

[1066vik]

I have a better idea - why don't a bunch of us meet up in Ardmore Ok on the 11th and go camping? (Lake Murray to be precise)

Browsing some real estate. Might be buying a house soon. I guess this is the final "grown up" thing to do. Must go to Toys R Us to wash my palette.

SMKW quit selling them, at least online.
The Marbles they replaced them with aren't as good IMO.

Saturday morning fire in the firepit. Kid1 wanted to roast chilis: she's making salsa for a school salsa competition tonight. Mmmm salsa.

Now that is a cool thing to have at school. Good luck to her.

trade, I'm working on my man bags, building one of them around a Condor bottle holder.
At Friedman's, I found that same multi-purpose pouch like you have. And a cool little sleeve/pouch that the Eskabar slips into.
I want something on the other side that will hold a smaller water bottle, since the center part is taken up by a cookset.
I'm going to try this pouch: https://www.foxoutdoor.com/ItemDetails.aspx?cid=1&ccid=99&cscid=63
Don't know yet how in the world I'm going to get my bushcraft martini set in there.

 

[tradewater]

I like the one in the link. I must have a couple of those. As far as the martini set goes, I'm thinking about hiring porters next time we go out. I've got an ad in the Barlow paper for Sherpas.

If that pouch doesn't work out (I think it will though), there's this option: http://originalsoegear.com/bottle.html
A little steep on price though, especially since I'll also have to buy malice clips or STRIKE clips to attach it.
I got the Fox Tactical M16 pouch off Amazon for $10 with no shipping charge (?). I'm half expecting the vendor to come back and tell me there was a mistake.
In my past experience, most of the online Army-Navy stores do not skimp when it comes to shipping charges.
