More fun in traffic jams. One man's story about how even his best laid preps were barely enough.

So I go to pick up the BunkerBabe from her civillian job…and she's not outside yet waiting, so I sit in the truck and wait patiently at the curb. Then I notice a nalgene water bottle sitting over by the doorway. Hmmm. Im guessing a bicyclist left it when he unlocked/locked his bike to the rack. Anyway, I get out of the truck and examine it. Its a genuine Nalgene brand, hard plastic, full of water. Probably a good quart of water right there. Now, Im not about to keep a water bottle I find on the street..not out of ethics but more from hygiene. On the other hand, I was curious how durable these bottles were and now was my chance to find out. Full bottle. Heavy. I hold it over my head at arms length and let it drop to the concrete. I made sure to drop it so it would land at an angle for maximum damage.

Nothing. Nada. A gouge on the edge of the bottom from the concrete but no cracks, no splits, no holes, no nothing. Hmmm. Tried it again. Same results.

I'll be buying a half dozen later this week.

Hmmm…the AK and AR mag situation is better than I thought, but still lots of room for improvement.
For the AR
46 – Military 30-rd
10 – Military 20-rd
02 – Steel 20-rd
01 – Commercial 10-rd
07 – Eagle plastic 30-rd (Actually, theyre good mags)
66 magazines total

On the AK front, not as good but a decent amount for the short term
03 – 40-rd
16 – 30-rd
02 – 5-rd mags that Im not even counting towards a total
19 magazines total

FAL is set with a solid 32 20-rd metric mags

The Glocks make a respectable showing with
G26 – 2×10 rd
G17 – 14×17 rd
G19 – 7×15 rd, 5×10 rd.
G18 – 8×33 rd.

The Ruger 10-22 comes in with 45×25 rd, 8×10 rd.

Still havent gotten to the P35 and 1911 yet.

Aaarrrggghhhh!!

My beloved Tactical Tailor bag has suffered an injury!

I caught the sternum buckle (male end) in the closing door of the vehicle and crushed it into elevntyjillion pieces. Think its a standard 1″ Fastex buckle? Nope! Couldnt find a replacement locally. Had to call TT and they are sending a replacement.

NONTYPICAL SIZE BUCKLE???????

*sigh* Im going to have to either a) order a supply of extra buckles or b) convert all existing buckles to the most common size/type.

Probably both.

OTOH, this is hardly a critical failure.

Just annoying.
