    The note looks huge! I highly doubt I’d find any girl pockets that could fit that. 😳 Though I wouldn’t mind having the $239.00 white Tab 2.0 w/ dock and USB cradle thingie from Costco… It’d be great to have that to work on my schoolwork in the library without having to lug anything large around.

    I had the first note. I liked it but I didn’t like the old os so I sold it. Its something you have to get used to. Lol. The tab looks cool but for school use depends on what your doing.

    There have been lots of comments on now the iPhone 5 is too light. I like my phones with some heft. Thus waiting for the galaxy note 2!!

    Feel free to laugh… I HATE getting my picture taken so when I turned around and there was a camera in my face I about tackled my friend and used his camera as a target, hence the great look on my face. I was NOT amused. Never the less here’s a picture of me with one of my ar’s.

    These pics make me feel deficient and somehow naked, lol. I haven’t put a lot of mods on my Patrolman’s Carbine.

    Still on an iPhone 4, and not seeing the need to upgrade yet. I don’t need to talk to my phone, and that was the big draw on the 4s. Now the 5 is a minor update as well. Still not convinced its time to spend the money yet.

    Very nice tribute. My Uncles were in the 1st Filipino Infantry Regiment, “Laging Una”. They went to New Guinea and later Burma.

    Thanks its a dedication to my Grandfather who was in the Philippine Scouts which turned into the 12th Infantry (which is represented in the insignia in the middle by the mighty caribou). He was a Bataan Death March survivor and earn a Purple Heart, Silver Star and Two Bronze Stars and obtained the rank of Master Sgt. Basically the reason I am where I am today.

    Check out the guys at http://www.jeffersonstatelaser.com and great guys to deal with. I basically told them what I wanted and they were able to accommodate.

    I carry a Helikon-Tex pocket med insert in addition to a small trauma kit. I like the organization and size (roughly 4.5 x 5.5 inches). Ideal for carrying band aids, moleskin, single use ointments, etc.

    As a follow-up to your post, now I have one too πŸ™‚ It IS a nifty bit of kit, and fits perfectly in the thigh pocket of my 5.11 Tac Lite trousers πŸ™‚ Many thanks indeed for the heads up πŸ˜€

    Well, at 18 you’re legally old enough for a rifle. It’s good to start young. I started shooting as a toddler with a Remington Targetmaster .22. It’s my most treasured rifle.

    Looking for thoughts or examples on the simple ‘boo-boo’ kits people have, not for trauma or heavy wilderness care. We’re talking for around the office or out and about, minor ouch moments or nice things to have in case of an itch or scratch. Looking for nice things to keep on hand, ideal soft containers that keep things organized, and ideally in a bright color that doesn’t scream trauma or emergency?

    I keep a couple of BandAids in my wallet, and I keep ibuprofen and various other pills in bottles pretty much everywhere (vehicle, office, bedroom, bathroom).

    In my “EDC bag,” I have a small IFAK, but my “boo boo kit” is an Altoids tin with other portable tablets, bandaids, some various creams and ointments in the individual foil packets. There’s some 2×2″ gauze, some Cutips, and a small WaterJel packet in there.

    I used to make them but I got lazy. I carry one of the small premade kits off Amazon. Pretty complete and comes in a red zippered fabric pouch. Cheaper than buying the pocket organizer I was considering making into one. Added a couple upgrades like a sharp SAK classic and I’m good to go. around 14 dollars. 100 items even includes safety pins.

    This.
    I have a couple of these inexpensive FAK in various day bags but keep a larger, more complete kit in a truck bag.
    These cheapies won’t cover every situation but are hard to beat for the money and have been handy to have.

    That is the most significant reason to get an iPhone. We can discuss the pros and cons of Android vs iOS, but when you get down to it the significant differences are few. As with so many other things in life the best choice in smart phones depends on your needs and expectations.

    I agonized over my phone choice for a few weeks until I found a salesperson that was both knowledgeable and objective. After asking me questions and discussing my needs he recommended an Android because I don’t have any other Apple products and I like to customize my phone. Other than that either phone would work well for me.

    I am a little bummed about loosing some customization options and widgets, but I stopped using widgets a while ago because they killed my battery, and the only real customizing I do is keeping my home screen clean. So I do loose a little bit, but I feel I gain more.
