tradewater, tell your mom to suck it up. Broken backs and bleeding are for pansies. :D

Seriously, I'm glad nothing was broken.
 
Damn, Trade, even your mom can out Chuck Norris anybody. Glad she's alright.

Last time my mom fell off the roof we had some words.
She's mostly bionic below the waist and has finally admitted that shimmying down the support strut for the fire escape is for youngsters.

Don't usually talk about stuff like this, but it's so wild I have to share. Got a call today that my mother had fallen and was being taken to the ER. Met the ambulance there and sure enough she'd split the back of her head open when she hit the bathroom sink. After a CT scan, the Doc came in and said no brain bleed or broken bones. Then the weird part. He asked if mom had ever been treated for a broken back. "Never, why do you ask?" Well at some time in the past twenty years she has broken her back. Twice. Both times healed pretty well though.

Stapled her up and back to the home. "I better not miss supper".

damn.

Your mother must be one tough lady. How does a person break their back and not know it.:confused:

I am glad she is okay.
 
i broke my back three times, died twice, and even exploded once. got over it :)

My brother came up with a pretty good way of getting rid of telemarketers that I use alot-almost always with complete success--they usually hang up on me:D

Them: "Hi this is SOandSo with WhoCares Inc and we'd like to talk to you about blah blah"

Me: "Of sure, I would love to. I do have a $4.99 per minute listening and consulting fee so if I could just get your company's billing address and verbal agreement we can get started"

Them: "Uhhh...(click)"

My brother is still looking into actually being able to do this......

511 Rush 12 or Maxped Falcon II? I'm leaning towards a multi-com Rush 12 but wondering what ya'll think
 
Personally, I like the Rush 12 better. Much better fit for me, but I'm a short-stocky guy.

Depends what you want it for. If you are taller (or have longer torso) or want to put much more than 15 lbs for an extended time I'd look to get something other than the Falcon II.

I had a Falcon II and sold it because the torso length wasn't long enough and hiking with 15-20 lbs was uncomfortable because all of the weight is on your shoulders. There's just better options out there for the money imo (see Murph's review of the Kelty MAP for example). If you just want something for EDC where it won't be carried a long time, the Falcon might not be a bad choice, I did like the organization features of the pack.

No experience with the 5.11 packs, but I suspect they might have the same issue with torso length if that affects you.

Edit: I'm 6'2 fyi

5.11 has a longer torso length than the maxped stuff. The rush 72 fits me well and I am mostly torso. There is a guy on youtube that does a 45 minute comparison between maxped and rush packs and shows the pros and cons of each. (He does three fifteen minute vids rather.) I'll see if I can find you a link.
 
On Cam's site they have a 8.5" Bushcrafter-blade says usa but that doesnt necessarily mean anything-in the overview it says 1095 black powder coated blade-doesnt look like that in photo:confused: a friend from another forum is asking about it-thought you guys would be the ones to ask
