What I find most interesting about the regulars of this forum (aside from our shared fondness for Emerson Knives) is that we all seem to share very similar tastes in other tactical areas of interest as well.
Naturally we all become giddy with anticipation as we await the UPS delivery of The Wonderful Little Red and Black Box, but what other tactical toys do Usual Suspects tend to indulge in? I think it might be interesting if we each post somewhat of a "Fave Tac-Toys List" in order to see just how much we have tactically in common with one another. Or better yet, to narrow down the potential size of our lists, let's base this Tactical Toy List upon a hypothetical situation:
It's the end of the world. You need to get from Unsafe Point-A to Safer Point-B (I would never wish "entirely safe" upon any of you guys. What fun would that be?
), knowing that you will never be able to return to Point-A. What tactical gear will you take with you? The items that you take must be items that you currently own. You are limited to a max of 5 knives (Yes, only 5) and 5 firearms (2 longarms and 3 handguns). Other gear can be tactical in nature, or merely personal items that you feel the importancy or need to take with you. All of your combined items cannot exceed what you are humanly capable of carrying for short to medium distances. You may have these items on or about your person. A gear bag or backpack is permitted for ammo, spare mags, food, firestarters, and water (Katadyn Filters rock!); these items will be plentiful once you reach Point-B and are therefore unnecessary to list.
My List:
Blades - Strider WB, Busse Steelheart, Emerson 2000CommanderBTS, Emerson Titanium La Griffe, Leatherman Crunch
Firearms - Steyr AUG.223, Benelli Super 90 Tactical 12guage, HK USP.45, Glock27 .40, Stainless Ruger MKII.22 (Trijicons on all of them. ACOG'd AUG)
Miscellaneous - Surefire 6Z (spare batteries and bulbs), SS Luminox Seal Dive Watch, Gargoyle Legends sun/shooting glasses, Al Mar Tac-Jacket, Secondchance level II body armor, several thousand dollars worth of gold (mostly $20 Libs and Saints) and some silver (for barter). OH, and my wife!! No, not for barter, for a keeper.

P.S. In case this posting isn't Emerson-esque enough to keep our friendly moderator happy, let's just say that "Point-B" is either the Emerson Shop or David's house, both of which qualify as very Emersonian in nature, correct?
Okay, who's next?
