    Maxpedition bags Tunnel/Garage velcro-shock cord area - have you found a use for it?

    Hi all! So, I've been a Maxpedition bag owner for many years now, and have about half the bags/pouches they make. But in all that time, I've never found a good use for the Tunnel/garage area that they have on many of their bags. I once put my iPhone in, and it slid out - not enough...

    Surefire UB3T/M3LT vs M6LT

    I have an M6 that I'd love to be able to upgrade to the LT version... anyone heard when/whether a head-only option might be available?

    Details on the 7060 (LAPD) light kit....from Pelican! PT.2

    Much to my surprise, mine showed up on Friday. Despite seeing pics and knowing the measurements, the size still surprised me. It's a big, hefty light. I'd been imagining it as being about 30% bigger than the T4, but it's really more like 2x the size in terms of volume/bulk. At the same time...

    Don't like Microsoft's monopoly? Check out Apples!

    Sooooo... don't buy one. I own an iPhone, and it's a mix of amazing tech and frustrating Rev. 1 limitations. I moved from a Treo 680, which was a mix of great (but wildly oversized) hardware, inspired software, and an ancient OS. iPhone is just a product, with a mix of features, benefits...

    Tritium watches-just how bright should they be?

    OK - the orange, green, and blue is very cool-looking... I like it! It's a little garish, but that's a +!

    iPhone - anyone interested?

    It's so funny for me to hear people bashing AT&T's coverage like this - I'm in Seattle, which is AT&T home territory, and I'm CONSTANTLY having people with other carriers ask to use my phone because they have no coverage. In buildings, a little ways out of town, on hiking trips, on boats...

    iPhone - anyone interested?

    My thoughts exactly - My Treo 680 is in many ways a fine piece of tech, but it's at the very very edge of what PalmOS can do, and even perhaps a little beyond it. The cracks in the foundation are showing, and become increasingly evident when it's time to exchange info back and forth between...

    Tritium watches-just how bright should they be?

    Yep - the purpose of the blue trit (as I understand it) is to offer an option to those who need a lower light level to remain 'covert'. The green is bright enough that it is visible at a significant distance, especially if you're looking for it. I've 'heard' (on the internet -take with grain...

    iPhone - anyone interested?

    I've been watching the Steve Jobs hype machine, and am thinking about getting an iPhone to take over from my Treo 680. Anyone else thinking of getting an iPhone?

    Updating my Fire~Fly 2 to modern specs

    Thanks guys - any more suggestions for 'best bets', or other successful upgrades for a FF2?

    Updating my Fire~Fly 2 to modern specs

    hi all - I've got a Fire~Fly 2 that's almost a perfect light, but was never quite right with the optics. It's got the Hi/Lo module in the tail, also. I'd really like to give it an update with a current LED and reflector. Recommendations? I found this thread with a reflector suggestion...

    LCD or PLASMA

    I spent a LONG time in TV stores before buying my 50" Plasma last year (TOTALLY coincidentally the day) before the NFC Championship game). After doing all the research, I'd decided to be fiscally responsible and get a DLP screen - MUCH cheaper, no hassle on the 'burn-in' issue, and awesome...

    Small size modified dive light

    2xAA is an awfully small light underwater - hardly even a backup light. For me, the Pelican Stealthlite 4xAA or similar is the absolute minimum for a dive backup. Canister lights, 8xC lights, etc. are basic dive main lights. I'd be super-hesitant to mod a dive light much - glass lens is MUCH...

    ROAR of the Pelican (CR123 Explosion during use, firsthand account)

    I'm not an engineer, a chemist, or even an experienced modder, but I do know a couple things about systems, and how things fail. There are plenty of 'every time' failures - when you take one of stock part 'A' and one of 'B', and go through a particular process, you get a failure. Even if it...
