    Went to see a buddy of mine who makes custom tactical gear. He banged this out for me real quick. :D

    Having been an EDC gear addict for even longer than I have been a Toughbook addict, I finally went an bought a sewing machine (a White model with over 40 stitches) to start my own projects. I have been looking at several types of pouches and bags and will start doing my own when I get comfortable with the machine. The ones he made for you look great, and I would love to get my hands on one of each for my own. Do you think he would make more and sell them? If he is interested, let us know.

    Not, When I can use the MOLLE ( M Odular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment) webbing to attach this to my tactical gear. :cool:

    Trooper. He only made the Bag for the M34. The accesory pouch is a MA-35 map pouch made by Condor.
    I will ask him, but he usually doesn't do much gear outside the loop, as he is constantly in demand from those in need in the sand boxes............

    I think the best, If he can made one for cf-29 with same materials is to copy the CF-TM29 sling case. No question to ask.

    What he said!

    We aren't talking about just walking around on a construction site here... We're talking ALICE/MOLLE packs. So you have your pack ready... You have your gear, food, tent, arms, ammo... And you are going to carry your Toughbook by the handle?

    Come to think about it.... The Toughbook could be a game hunting tool similar to the boomerang! All you'd need is practice! Wing that boar in the head, put it on the spit, then relax and catch up on your emails! ;) Just carry a rag around to wipe off the guts and stuff! :D

    Well... Ya know... It WOULD be possible... With practice... If I can peg a squirrel with my blow-gun at 50 yards..... You should be able to use the Toughbook as a food-providing weapon! :D

    Considering the source and amount of hot air, one would think a bear at 500 yards would not be out of the question! :D

    No one said they could "peg a squirrel... at 50 yards". They said "IF" they could. There will be no questions about the veracity of our fearless leader from the rif-raf! :D

    I don't know if hooves work well with keyboards... But then I guess they may have speech (or grunt) to text apps.

    Seriously though.... I hate squirrels... They chew up my bird feeders, birdhouses, hot tub, deck, outdoor lighting wires, EVERYTHING.

    So... I have a .40 caliber, 48" blowgun with 4" broadhead steel darts and am deadly accurate. You remember I live in the Peoples Republic of Maryland. To get a carry permit I have to show that I have been raped or murdered. Obviously I cannot discharge a firearm in my subdivision and I think that, even with my high powered BB gun.... If a neighbor saw me drawing down on something, with today's paranoia... The cops would be called.

    So I use a blowgun.... And I can seriously peg one in the tree or on the ground at about 100 to 150 feet... Sometime further away. I also trap them (The ones that can dodge me) and then drive to a park about 2.5 miles away and release them... All while jamming Black Sabbath at full volume. This of course literally scares the little brown pellets out of them so I have to line my Hummer cargo area with a plastic bag.

    You know Rick, if we could ever get a bunch of us from this forum together at a fun site (say...Las Vegas?), it would probably be a meet for the ages! Kinda like a larger, more intense version of "The Hangover"! The stories alone from many would be enough to keep it going for days and as the JD flowed, the stories would get even better (although the accuracy and validity may start to wane....)

    BTW, after 35 years of on/off again service (22 total good years) I have submitted my paperwork for retirement from the military. My enlistment in the guard would be up next year and that little voice inside said "It's time to GTFO!"

    I looked on their calendar and the October meet is not on it. I would think it would be soon in order to get room reservations.

    Here in Florida we occasionally get together for some rootin' tootin' shootin' good fun. The boys on FloridaShootersNetwork.com get together and rent a part of Manatee Gun Range called Area 51 for a weekend of full auto, suppressors, other NFA items, and of course plenty of Tannerite stuffed into special targets (ka-boom!). Anyone who wants to try the thrill of full auto, and can feed "the pig" with their own ammo, is welcome to get in touch for the next time we plan such an occasion. We're often joined by a bloke from England. In late fall, winter, and early spring Florida is kinda nice .... :D

    It's not impossible. I used to bullseye womp-rats in my T-16 back home, they're not much bigger than two meters...
