    Just picked up a beretta 21a bobcat, like new for $250 at a local shop, I know these can be finky guns so I'm hoping it is not a lemon. I also think alot of these got dumped when high quality .22 became impossible to find, I already have a couple boxes of cci stingers and velociters and a couple bricks of mini mags so hopefully it will like one of those and I'll use it as mostly a range toy and if it seems reliable an occasional ccw for when I want to just drop something in my pocket, pics later!

    about to order another Direct Action Ghost MK2 pack...........got a 30% off thank you card from DA :). 2nd one is going to be in Adaptive Green.

    edit: JUST PLACED THE ORDER! got the discount!

    the first GHOST MK2 pack i bought in Urban Gray , was for the daily EDC at work in the Peterbilt tractor. Holds BOK/FAK, TGD reference book, thermos of coffee, water bladder, misc stuff, DAKA pouches for waybills and paperwork.

    the one i just ordered in Adaptive Green, is for woods use. I am seriously loving this pack. The fact it comes with a webbing belt and yoke STOCK is gravy! I can set up the webbing belt with molle pouches.......(with the pack attached)

    serious in depth review coming soon.....

    I bought gta v (grand theft auto 5) for my laptop. I can't afford to buy and mod knives anymore so I'm gonna have a try at game modding. It's something to do and it only cost the game.

    Not a knife and I cannot say it is worth anything near a Busse. But this was my last purchase from a thrift store for $6.99. Although old it sat in storage and did not have any sign of use and I have since added a more modern Kelty hip belt to this pack which must be at least 90 to 100 liters.

    Along with my first Carhartt jacket (an Armstrong Active Jac), my favorite pizza and case of Mooshead lager, I just got my 22nd birthday present in and couldn't be more pleased.

    I'm seriously impressed by the sheer number of Course, Certifications, Qualifications, and hard as hell training in BC terrain and weather that Reno is doing. Its kinda inspiring me to volunteer......but the job i have its just not feasible - I would never make any of the call outs on time and the industry im in its just not possible.........HOWEVER......I know for certain though that once i'm out of Metro Vancouver and I have my rural property somewhere, someday, I will sign up for both volunteer firefighter and SAR.

    you gonna do the long line heli training Reno?
