In the old Corps - all we needed was the P38 Opener, Can, Hand, Folding, Type I can opener..
Remember?
That was probably the finest single piece of gear a Marine in the field could possess -- after his weapon.
It will be interesting to see how many old farts in the forum know what we're talking about...

So THAT'S where that came from! Mom & Dad had one in the drawer all the time I was growing up. When I asked her what it was, Mom even taught me how to use it.
Daddy was on Iwo. He's been gone twenty years now....

Gentlemen, I just want to know the Brand of chainsaw (my guess would be Stil). I have three different makes and none will run when I absolutely need them.
Thanks for the heads-up on the P38 opener. Would have been handy this week . . .
