Back from Vacation

I took a little vacation to see the extended family up in Cleveland Ohio.  I haven't really been home in about 15 years so it was good to catch up with everybody.  While home I ran a total of ZERO MILES and ate about FOUR WEEKS worth of food in my six days.  So I need to get back on it ASAP!

It looks like I may get a few days on the AT later next month so I did a few productive things in terms of preparing.  I ordered the Maxpedition Fatty Pocket Organizer (Black) and got my survival tin in order. The fatty may be my FAK or tool compartment.  Depends on how items I have fit.

I had a chance to stop at REI, Gander Mountain and Dick Sports (all within a few days of one another) so I threw some $$$ their way as usual.

I picked up the following:

• eGear PICO Zipper Light
• Kwik Tek Dry Pak Multi-Purpose Case (Clear 9-Inch x 12-Inch)
• Outdoor Products 3-Pack Ultimate Dry Sack
• Dritz(R) Cord Stops - 2/Pkg
• 50 - 1/2" Side Release Plastic Buckles
• Also the gear to build a survival fishing kit

A few other items came in the mail too:

• Swedish Firesteel - Army Model, Black Handle (for my tin)
• Aviation cable key rings

I'm expecting the "fatty" to arrive tomorrow so I'll post up what I'm using it for.  My tin is about done and I'll post that too.  

Lastly I'm at a dilemma for what to ask for for Fathers Day.  The RAT-5, Tan Canvas Micarta Handle, Cordura Sheath or Snow Peak Titanium Double-Wall Cup 450.  The birthday is next month and the knife would be for both....  Decisions decisions.  

Good to be home and back on the site!
