Midwest Outdoors: The gray man

http://livetoseetomorrow.blogspot.com/2015/06/the-gray-man.html

Spot the unseen gray man. The gray man is of average height and build he is not fat or thin, short or tall. There are no obvious physical features about him. No facial hair, no tattoos, no big moles, nothing different. He is not attractive or unattractive. He is not intimidating in anyway and appears very plain. You never really spot a true gray man. If you do he is no longer gray. Why don't you notice the gray man. Movement that may intercept your own. Unusual or threatening sounds. The best of MWO.

Midwest Outdoors: Bug out vehicle: geo tracker

http://livetoseetomorrow.blogspot.com/2013/09/bug-out-vehicle-geo-tracker.html

Bug out vehicle: geo tracker. I got another bug out vehicle this past week from my father in law. The old saying never look a gift horse in the mouth only applies till you get home. When I picked this little 4x4 up it was running like complete shit. I was having trouble going 45 on the freeway and it died every time I stopped. I've spent the last week fixing what was wrong and now she runs like a dream. New spark platinum plugs be sure they are the plugs for the 8v and gapped to .028. Now start the littl...

Midwest Outdoors: My new EDC flashlight : Coast HP7 review

http://livetoseetomorrow.blogspot.com/2015/05/my-new-edc-flashlight-coast-hp7-review.html

My new EDC flashlight : Coast HP7 review. I've had good experiences in the past with Coast lights so this year I picked up a Coast HP7 for my EDC. The HP7 is the replacement for my Maglite XL50. The XL50 held up pretty well and was extremely bright but it had a thin wall case and I finally dented it in so badly that I can't get the battery holder out. Hopefully my new HP7 won't suffer the same fate. Heavy duty, thick wall aluminum body and bezel. There is no flat lens to get scratched. Ordering numbers: ...

Midwest Outdoors: An evac plan for your dog

An evac plan for your dog. I have two dogs that are just as much a part of the family as my wife and kid are. They sleep in bed. With us and lay on the couch. In return they protect the house while we're away and alert us when they hear something go bump in the night. I don't think you should have a dog if you lack that mindset. A dog will do anything for you and lives to make you happy so please remember to include them in the family evac plan. A fire, a tornado, an earthquake? Discuss a plan with a tru...
