I was left in too many places without support to not learn fieldcraft and survival skills early on. My Eagle Scout status was tested alot those days. Small amount of gear to keep warm, signal and nourish ones self with is mandatory in our world as you know these days.

Battle Field Pickup is an option for ya these days. When I worked in Bosnia the landlady I "rented " from "gave" me a pristene Thompson M1928 Sub gun , ammo marked 1941 frankford arsenal and 13 magazines. It was brand new. That was my anti-kidnappin gear for when I was home alone there.

Stay Safe

A Thompson? Man, you should see the smile on my face! Extra KEWL!! And I thought I'd be lucky to find some old US coins in the souks.

Although not exactly a REMP this time, I'm still supposed to be a non-combatant. Thus the civvies and steel plates. Trust me, safety is my middle name!
