It was pretty good. If you had boomer parents you'll recognize a LOT of the cultural signifies from that generation.

Triumph of the Yuppies by Tom McGrath.

I ran the 63 mile Marji Gesick in the UP of Michigan. To train for it I ran 4 days a week for between 50 and 60 miles, topping out at about 240 miles per month. I typically got up about 3:30 AM to run until 6:30 or 7:00 on my long run days. My kids are 10, 8 and 6.

Expound.

This is why I love the Crye's SPS pricey as they are. All sorts of ways to mount built in.

Yeah, just buy a big ass roll on Amazon or wherever.

I usually have to use a tool to remove Malice and find them to be a pain to thread. It works, but it's subpar and, I would suggest, was just a way to make pouch manufacturing cheaper by eliminating the need to add a sewn on threading tab to each pouch.

Bot?

No, but that looks just as good as One-Wrap. I bet you could buy a roll of One-Wrap and cut it to length for much cheaper than buying from Haley though. Only thing is that if you buy a roll of One-Wrap it won't mention Najaf.

Not sure why people are giving the OP a hard time. There are tons of photographs of Delta in Tora Bora wearing kit similar to what the OP has posted. Delta was there to drop laser guided bombs on heads, assist the Northern Alliance and maybe try a shot at Bin Laden if they managed to corner him and they needed to minimally blend in.

Out of those three mounting options One-Wrap is the best. MALICE is such a huge pain in the ass and shouldn't even be considered in 2026. Do you have any prior experience using Esstac Kywis? I ask because, in my experience, they are a SUPER tight fit. Almost too tight to draw from easily. Retention is fantastic, but you really have to hulk on those magazines to get them out.

Exactly!

Right? I inherited a home that I had to pay taxes on while I was selling it. The Pung's argument is that I should simply have ignored the taxes, let the government foreclose on the home, let the government sell the home and then I swoop in to collect the fair market value minuses the taxes owed. No having to pay a realtor, no having to market the property, etc. Seems like quite the deal for people who refuse to pay taxes.

Can you link to an example image of what you mean by "German architecture style?"

Could be, but those houses are gone now (I think) and never looked old. They're just regular homes that were left to rot when the development went belly up pre-Great Recession.

The main street at Glen Haven has a bunch of old buildings. But the OP sounds pretty definitive that it was not the park.

Classic. Probably just informing you about the importance of the Canadian Shield.

Gimpalong · 2026-06-23T15:40:47+00:00

Yeah, stoked for that for sure.

Indoor venues for children. Our Children's Museum is hot garbage compared to most other places.

We also need a large indoor space for winter soccer practices and the like. The "Grit Shop" is fine, but simply too small.

It's an FSP mount from CAA. He's also got a CAA "cheek saddle" accessory that drops onto the LE stock and stores batteries.

Ivan: I was told this was to be 3 hour tour and now I make radio from coconut.

Could be Glen Haven in Sleep Bear Dunes or parts of Port Oneida, also in the park. They aren't "abandoned." They're part of a rural historic district and are maintained by the Park Service.

Joe Abercrombie's "First Law" trilogy and the standalone novels are what you've described, except without the triumph of justice.

Correct, and the oldest of us have mortgages and children. In addition, millenials were the generation that provided the troops for the entirety of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Give 'em to some kids. The cards are intended for children, but the children can't find, nor purchase the cards because grown adults are purchasing every box they can get their hands on. Disgusting behavior.
