    Wow. This is pretty awesome. I'm really lucky in the couple of ways my autism can be useful in the Canadian army.

    I'm so disappointed that this seems to be satire.

    Camming up the Thermarest

    Nope. The folks were on my back for an an idea for xmas and gods bless em; they WILL NOT shop online. So...no; CDN Tire and no receipt. Nice piece of gear though, besides the colour. I was actually really touched by the gift. My folks are usually pretty baffled by me at xmas; but insist on...

    Moldy kit

    Really? That little? I bough a 4l jug and I was thinking; dump it all into a big bucket, add about 20L of water and dump my gear in. so that's a 5/1 dilution by my math. If I use just a bit, can I just leave it in longer?

    Moldy kit

    No, it's literally all over some of this gear. my thinking is; old water proofing spray gone way overboard. What about CLR or oxy clean?

    Tracking down a treaty

    This sounds like rather the reverse of what I'm walking about; American spending in Canada, vs us spending there As I said; perhaps It does not exist and I was mistaken.

    Moldy kit

    I am looking for a way to clean moldy web gear and load bearing equipment. The material is mostly nylon with some canvas. There is a car wash down the street I can rent time on a power washer from, but I'd like a solution (no pun intended) that involves soaking some of it at a time in a bucket...

    Tracking down a treaty

    Tried all the likely categories. Surprising how many have no entries in them. No luck. Maybe it doesn't exist? Years ago, when I first read of this...SOMEWHERE, I had no yet adopted my current policy of saving/book marking all useful information like this.

    Tracking down a treaty

    Close! I thought for sure that was it! The title sounds like it, but when I read it, it seems to be about limiting how much a given company can profit from a military contract.

    Tracking down a treaty

    I read about this Treaty years ago. I was sure it was referenced in Granatstien's "Who Killed The Canadian Military", but naturally, I can't find it. No idea what it was called, but it came in, I think after the Avro Arrow and the basic theme was that it mandated that Canada would always spend...

    Component Transfer ( CT ) - Reserve to Regular

    Been talking with my local PSO and they have requested my CFAT scores to see what all I am qualified for. It's been about a month and a half since they said they would request them. Is it time to go poke them again and see what's up?

    Has the United States Lost the Ability to Fight a Major War?

    Man, those equipment issues, just never go away, do they? reminds me a lot of the issues Canada and Australia had getting certain items in WWII. even something as simple as an SMG caused huge issues for the Aussies for a while till they had the Owen Gun. As for the crux of the article, I think...

    Oregon College mass shooting - 10 killed

    You're assuming that most of them get diagnosed. Afterwards, you can maybe find some people who will say; "Shucks, he did seem a little off." But that's about it. A lot of these folks go unnoticed because staying under the radar is a huge perk if you can manage it in today's world for a lot of...
