BOB (Bugout Bag)

I found a good thing to put in a bugout bag after using it over the weekend. Chapstick. I'll bet your saying to yourself, Chapstick, probably good for chapped lips but what else? 

1.) Zipper Lubricant

2.) Firestarter

3.) Protective coating for Carbon Steel-Based items such as knifes, etc.

4.) Stop bleeding from a nick or cut from shaving.

5.) Use a improvised sunscreen as most chapstick is SPF15 or SPF30.

Good stuff to have in a kit for a buck or under!

Been Lost...

Haven't had a chance to post anything for a few days. Busy with work, the house, life in general. Been watching my 401K plummit, Democratic and Republican conventions and the overall downward spiral our country is in. Hoping something changes for the better and I say that without refering to either candidate. I will say I don't agree with Barack Obama on his liberal views and believing poor people cling to guns and religion. Was probably the straw that broke the camel's back but selecting Biden as a running mate was his worst mistake. As the author of the 1994 Assault weapons bill, I cannot or will not support ANYTHING that has Joe Biden attached to it!

So I guess I should put on here, go McCain/Palin! As if I have a choice....

That's it for now. Did go to a good wilderness survival class taught by a fellow East Ky Neighbor, Shawn Conn. He's young, but knows his stuff and really seems dedicated to the cause. That's good enough for me. He'll go far as a teacher if he decides that's his calling. Till next time...
