Morning guys, it feels like monday all over again.

Just because I can.

mmmm...looks like a good old diner burger. We've still got a Kewpie in town that serves awesome cheeseburgers. They aren't huge or extravagant, but just good old diner food.

 

[Guyon]

Exactly. Brown's Diner burger. Just a little nugget of cholesterol-laden heaven.

Last night I was at Waffle House and I had a burger, with bacon jalepenos egg(sunny side up) and cheese... with chili hashbrowns on the side.


It was quite glorious.



My toilet is begging for mercy today!

Haha, glad I "talked" you into it.

and I finally got my FFG BK16 today!

 

[thrillbilly]

Scored this NIB Camelback M.U.L.E. and a corded Dremel w/all the accessories today at the local Pawn Shop..total cost $75 cash. I like this pack, great size for hunting/day-hikes. I added a couple Condor pouches and whipped up a matching kydex-suit for my 16 to utilize the MOLLE panel and took the hydration pouch out. I'm gonna put a Fire-kit/EDC stuff in one Condor and a FAK in the other (I need a velcro Red Cross patch). I MOLLE-Locked my 16 on and then added a 550 dummy cord (just because I'm paranoid like that LOL). I'm also gonna put a 14 sheath on the left shoulder-strap I think.

I like that Chocolate Brown kydex...first time I've used it.

That's a great pack! I've got one that a buddy picked up for me when he was at Camp Anaconda.

I think the Camelback is as good (actually better IMO) then the Maxped gear I have owned/handled. Frankly, the cheap Condor pouches are 98% as nice as the Maxped gear, for half the price.

I'm talking materials, finish, sewing, zippers, etc. etc.

I LOVE the zipper system on the CB...works smooth and seems bull-tuff so far.

The CB also has some very well-thought out details, Like how the waist belt has lil storage stuff-sacks, and the shoulder strap has velcro loops to hold down the loose/tag ends. Good stuff!

I have got some condor stuff that was decent, and I have got some that was horrible. Like with most China stuff, It is very hit or miss. My Maxped gear has always been consistent in construction, and bombproof.

I have yet to try camelback, because I dislike water bladders.

OLJ, once you try it, you'll wonder why in the hell it took you this long to get it.

I tried my first one, on a hike a couple of weeks ago, and I was kind of taken back by it. I never really liked "warm" water on a hike, and I always thought my heat and sweat would warm it up too much.

I was wrong. Stays colder and easier to get to. Hell yeah.

I bought a pack today too. And a hammock. I got a jungle milspec hammock so it has the bug guard and the floor underneath too. I'm thinking I should hang it before I come down for the gathering though so I don't look like a complete fool trying to rig this thing.
