Monday, December 13, 2010 Got myself a new (to me) pack!

The notion that a radical is one who hates his country is naïve and usually idiotic. He is, more likely, one who likes his country more than the rest of us, and is thus more disturbed than the rest of us when he sees it debauched. He is not a bad citizen turning to crime...; he is a good citizen driven to despair.

-H. L. Mencken

Picked up an ILBE pack last night. That's one major piece of equipment down, a few more to go. Look for an article from me on tents and improvised shelter coming soon!
