Your Emergency Loadout

[LUNCHBOX]

Jerry D, I have to give you an ata-boy....Not just because of the gear (your gear speaks for itself) but because you have the mindset to put some gear in a gamecart but keep a smaller version of the same gear on your person. That is a nice touch that should be noticed.

Thanks. I'll add the Game cart stuff as soon as the proplem I'm having with posting is fixed.
