    I have a very good specimen of XT11, no packaging, but all the goodies.

    I want a a high quality flask.

    Yeah, I have this thing about quality. It sucks at times, because I'm not wealthy. But, only "expensive" liquors will ever be found in it. My preference is "The Glenlivet", all of which, I think, is minimum 12 year old scotch. I also like Johnnie Walker Black, the drink of one of my heroes...

    I want a a high quality flask.

    Found a great one. Got an email from the company, all their flasks are seamless, with metal captive cap arm. Colonel Conk. I love bees, so this one was cool to me. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001XURHQG/?tag=cpf0b6-20 UPDATE: I'm happy to report that over a week, this flask doesn't leak...

    Does your flask from the liquor store have a plastic captive cap arm, or steel?

    I want a a high quality flask.

    Greetings, I'm in the market for a hip flask (whiskey), but it has to rock. My criteria are: 1. Stainless steel 2. 5-8 oz. 3. No crimped bottom or top 4. Captive cap arm 5. No plastic captive cap arm 6. Not round I've been scouring the internet, and I can't find one of this description. I'd...

    "Shredded Wheat insoles"?

    Yes, as a matter of fact they did state "DO NOT BOIL". I always used two in each boot, they really let air get under my foot. I wasn't a soldier, though, I was wearing them on a Navy land based flight line. Hell, I'm not even a real veteran, I was in during the cold war. Thanks for the...

    "Shredded Wheat insoles"?

    Greetings, I've been absent for some time now, but still addicted to flashlights. My question is to you military (or former) guys or gals that remember what I called Shredded Wheat insoles, the ones that allowed air to flow under your feet. I found tonight that they are (were?) officially...

    Pelican 8060

    Well, yeah, if necessary. If it was getting too hot or I got some warning that it was going to fail. Not likely. It would probably fry quick, if it was going to. (Notice my use of italics in the post.) My point is the manufacturer says alkalines are for emergencies. I wonder if the warranty...

    Pelican 8060

    I'll be getting an 8060 soon. It is worth noting that the 8060 is stated as 190 lumens on alkaline C cells, 6v. It's nominal NiMH voltage is 4.8v. As you can see in the beamshots earlier in this post, the 7060 & 8060 are comparable in brightness. I have been in contact with Pelican, asking...

    I'm thinking of living in an RV, Know any good forums?

    I've been thinking of buying an RV, 5th wheel or trailer to live in since my family was hammered in Hurricane Rita. The idea became attractive to me as a way of moving my home out of harms way, I guess. Anyway, I don't know anything about them, so I was hoping to get some advice from those who...

    What is the best fire starter?

    Hmm, I totally forgot about the flares. I have three in my car now. Yes, I agree.
