    which winch for a guy who doesn't like winches?

    Doubling with a snatch block doesn't change how much tension the line sees, you just have two lines pulling at 8000# (in my case) instead of one.

    which winch for a guy who doesn't like winches?

    When I started out with my JKU last year, the first mods were recovery gear. It just seems rude to me to not even have a strap if you get stuck and need assistance from someone else. I figured getting the proper gear to get unstuck takes priority over gear that gets you deeper into the doo doo...

    what kind of holster do you use for concealed carry?

    I would like some kind of swap-meet to compare holsters and try other styles. Holsters are so expensive that I tend to not carry rather than risk spending a chunk of change on yet another holster I won't use. Bring all your holsters, possibly sell the ones that don't work for you and evangelize...

    I'm in, but I'll be coming in from Medicine Wheel WY. Looks like 8 hours for me to get to Garden City via Yellowstone but I may go through Lander instead if there are any weather issues.

    what kind of holster do you use for concealed carry?

    Do you need a beta-tester? Just realized I didn't answer any questions. I would like to try in-the-waistband sometime. I've just been using a fanny-pack even though it just screams "CONCEALED WEAPON". Not sure if that's good or bad.

    led lights in the home?

    Interesting, I have an LED Maglight that I bought on a whim and thought I would be returning but found I liked better. The pattern is just as adjustable as the halogen bulb version and can be focussed to an even tighter beam, seems to just as bright or brighter, and add to that the shock...
