I'm not a gun Expert, but I like to think I have a good Working Knowledge of Rifles. But I had to Look that one up.

Sounds like a Nice cartridge.

I like to shoot a .257 Roberts. Not as much Knock Down as say 30-06, but it is Easier on the Shoulder. And I just use it mainly to punch holes in paper anyway.

    I think what made my Eyes Bulge Out when I saw that Case was how Incredibly Organized it was.

    For a Bug Out Kit, that one looked Great. And kinda Shamed what I use when I'm on a Trip.

    Ah, you blabbed. I almost told zoiD you were a trucker than decided to just let him quietly be in awe. Is a nice road kit though.

    I actually knew. But it wasn't until I read beckdg post that I remembered.

    Memory Loss is the Price of living a Hard life of Drinking, Drugs and Chasing Wild Women. That and Doing things that are Harmfully to one's Health.

    It was a long time coming and inspired by pelican cases.

    Then I saw the closed cell foam blocks sitting by the trash bin at work and I refused to go home without taking advantage.

    Stopped in home depot for the case. Stopped in wally world for a drawer organizer.

    One serrated knife, a couple of drill bits and a half hour later... boom... everything needed to vape the 435ml of joose stashed in the case neatly organized.

    Gave the kiddos the rest of the yellow trays to help organize their drawers.

    All for under $25.

    (You can do it too if you get motivated enough)

    Looks like that case will hold you for a thousand miles or so. Just one question, where is the Kanthal?

    This is my go to kit when I'm out for a full day. In the box is my traveling building kit cause if i taste even a slightest bit bunt taste or something unusual i rewick or even rebuild.

    When i still use a mech i usually bring a ton of battery with me cause i can taste the performance declining.

    I think i was being too paranoid or even maybe an OCD lol.

    The little black circle next to the batteries is a cap to a cannister that holds about a dozen coils I premade at home and a piece of the rod they're shaped on for tensioning and positioning on the atty.

    I miss my Zippo. :( It was the small rectangle one with engraved flowers on it. I thought about getting my initials engraved on it too because there was space for it and I thought it would be a nice touch, but I never saved up the cash to do it. My teenage self always spent my money too quick on CDs, Marlboro Lights, and the occasional box of Djarum cloves :laugh:

    This was my old Zippo *sentimental sniffle*
    Zippo - Slim® Venetian® (Style #1652-000039-Z)

    Nice. I have the large version, and that is one I kept. I also have several others that I won't part with. I no longer carry one, but I just can't seem to give them up.

    Speaking of Marlboro - I have at least three Zippos that I acquired by saving the UPC codes from my cigarette packs. I also had friends that smoked Marlboros and didn't bother redeeming theirs so they gave them to me. Once per year I would get a big box of freebies (paid for shipping of course). It was sort of a twisted Christmas. I got jackets, shirts, hats, watches, lighters, ashtrays....it was fun at the time. :)

    I keep a messenger bag in my car with my rebuilding supplies, 2 charged batteries, my sig 100+, and a few different kinds of juice and 2-3 different atties. It's probably overkill because i carry my istick 50w with a veritas and a 30w with a subtank mini and the odds of having trouble with both are slim to none. However, I have had my wick get scorched before due to not paying attention and taking a toot on an empty tank. I didn't have anything else with me so i started carrying a kit the next day as i'd rather be safe than sorry...again.

    I wouldn't exactly call that a small package though.

    Currently when I'm out I just bring a mod and a tank, sometimes two mods and two tanks. Luckily I am only out for a few hours at a time and the weather is still cool enough that I can wear a jacket. My concern is when summer rolls around and I'm dressed in shorts and a t-shirt or polo shirt. My shorts are typically cargos, so I do have those extra side pockets, but the SX Mini M Class is a bit on the hefty side. I guess I might need to break down and start carrying a man purse. That would be preferred versus using a fanny pack.

    Not really, unless you leave it in the car! Be carful, or else,,,
