I've been downsizing; and anything I dig up, that I do not intend to use, I list on eBay. I'm sorry I ever came across the blank pistol. I just listed a lot of warm weather backpacking equipment. ALICE pack - Jungle hammock - multi fuel stove - PUR water purifier - ONTARIO machete - extra mosquito netting - military poncho - military collapsible canteen - folding binoculars - stainless cookware. Everything has been sitting in storage; and in like new condition. I'll post the eBay item number incase you know someone who may be interested. I made trips to Central America ( Maya Mountains ); but I damaged some cervical discs, and can no longer haul a fully loaded backpack. And to be truthful, I am not as comfortable leaving the states as I once was. This is it: (123009285062) It may not come up until my 3 day suspension is over. This is the title of the listing: GREAT DEAL ON BACKPACKING EQUIPMENT. Actually, the only item I used was the ALICE pack. Everything else was purchased for a following trip, that I never made. Last time, I was in Belize, and ended up a few miles into Guatemala; and was escorted back to the border by Guatemalan military. Unnerving, cause that could have gone south. I get back to the states ( New Orleans - port of entry ), and was detained for having a load of Cuban cigars. Who knew there were cigar sniffing dogs? Must have been 200 feet of luggage, and the dog hit on mine. Out comes the dog, and he nails me in 20 or 30 seconds. Until then, I really liked Beagles. I was released, but they kept my cigars. Told me, they had to be destroyed. I said right, one at a time at the White House. Sorry, I got on a roll; but still a good ( and true ) story.
