No Offense- Some of the equipment choices and redundancies on here make me wonder if ‘Zanny Z’ has any practical experience in outdoor survival and rescue.

For example- that ‘Bear Gryll’s’ stuff is Walmart grade garbage. The folding saw is lead weighted crap compared to a aircraft aluminium Sven Saw. And that first aid…

I had something similar happen to me just three weeks ago. I told the mechanic that it was pretty close to suicidal to tell a Southerner you were going to try to detain him or his sieze his property. Then I made sure he knew I wasn’t joking.

A smart person once said, ‘Don’t ask the question unless you’re really prepared to hear the answer’.

On the parent side of this coin the ‘child’ in this case better be fully prepared to face the cold light of what it cost the parents to provide for their day-to-day and future. The debts they assumed to pay for your…

Jesus wept.

Our municipality had to forgive over 400 speeding tickets based on the Radar guns in the cars not following the scheduled PM as directed by the manufacturer (calibration required every two years at that time).

Are you a member of TOOOL? That might be beneficial as a 'hobby' defense.

I received a raised eyebrow from a guard going through a security checkpoint at the EPA building in DC when he ID'd my lock pick set.

Bingo.

I agree with everything you just wrote. My point simply was we start with the poison tree and then get to the rotten fruit.

Look, Sport; it's possible you're not a lost cause and could benefit from therapy. That starts with recognizing that you have a problem and a willingness to seek help. You might start with less caffeine- yoga; meditation and better attitude.

Peace, little brother.

Brother, the 1% have been making war on us from Day One; we just willing disarm ourselves by sending their paid lackey's to congress.

Welcome to the United States. The model you obviously find offensive can also be found in just about every social mechanism we have here.

So what is your solution?

The entirety of this organized injustice begins and ends with the Ponzi scheme we affectionately call the NCAA. The mob should send Enforcers and Lieutenants to intern for these guys in order to pick up pro tips on how to really run a racket.

If you're one of those who is going to fault Calipari for making the most of…

This is how a sniper works. Wound one; draw in two more for the kill.

No doubt.

Some are amazing. Some are incompetent. Many are in between. But all are subject to the education system and the culture it breeds.

'Consequences', that's something of a sad joke. The American education system today is built to serve the lowest common denominator; my kids learn exponentially more outside of school than in it.

How did you like Harry Potter? Other than Olivander's Wand Shop more often than not to me it felt like a scene out of Soylent Green- wall to wall people with zero elbow room. The rest of the park was okay.

We made the same trip a few years ago in October and took the kids out of school. Completely worth it.

With smart kids there's no gap in education with a couple of weeks off and with dumb kids it doesn't matter anyway. So let both groups have a great time with their family and the terrific memories that go with it.
