I try to keep a half gallon of vodka and a couple liters of Diet Tonic Water and a squeeze lime where I can get to 'em in an emergency; especially, on long trips. "rlol"

Half a gallon to a couple of liters is a pretty stiff drink. :cheers2:

Coming to a theater near you on Memorial Day Weekend.

This is a Glock 40. Fifty Cent. Too Short. All of them talk about a Glock 40. OK?
I'm the only one in this forum fool enough - that I know of - to shoot himself with a Glock 40.

"rlol" Actually, we've never been bothered by snakes but we did have a black bear come and look in the door one Sunday last summer.

Hubby has one in his car too. :cheers2: 85% of the time it is just me and the kids. Chris works very hard and we are thankful to see him and be with him when we can. His pack is actually much more substantial as he might have to fend for himself for days he travels further from home. I am almost always within 10 miles of home and can hoof it home or call for the Calvary (husband) if I need to. My pack will serve him as well if need be. The fire kit will keep all warm and the water filter will serve all. The mini tarp will make a tent for all as well. It would be good yo add another good bar when we get the chance.

When we travel long distances together we take his pack and mine.

Calvary has two meanings. One is Golgotha. The other is a policing or military unit on horse back. So if you got into trouble if you could you called for the calvary. Perhaps I am spelling it wrong.

You call the Cavalry. Jesus was crucified on Calvary.

Well I never won a spelling bee. I shall live as a mediocre speller.
