Just a quick posting of some more gadgetry I came across. This time, it's (Japanese?) fold-flat "dinnerware". It comes in blue or red, and consists of a cup, dish, and plate. A "place setting" for two is about $24.

This might be of interest for backpacking, or putting into a bugout kit. Or it might just be neat.Use it along with your titanium flatware.

In further neepery news, I broke down and bought one of those Victorinox "Swissdata" knives. The USB drive is only 128MB, but it's enough for a hidden, password-protected partition to hold all my passwords, account info, and financial data (such as it is).

Finally, something called "the safepacker". Supposedly a disguised holster (wearing it on your belt or shoulder would seem a bit suspicious), it does have one major benefit. It was designed to protect the handgun, and the user, from damaging each other in rock climbing, rescues, (trailriding?) etc.

I got one for my Smith J-frame, and will report on it when I get some ambition up.

Hmm, vey cool. I wonder if the manufacturer thought to include a pocket for a day planner.

It reminds me a bit of a fanny pack. So, bear with me, if you want to keep it quiet that you are carrying, you can respond to the inevitable "what's that for" question with a response that it's for your day planner. Hehe.. I dunno, just a thought.
