  • Quote from odd man out: “A water bottle is cheap. Shipping water is not cheap. Water bottles pro idea water for a few minutes. Filters provide water for a few months. Water from a bottle is available in seconds. From a filter it is available in minutes. Once empty, a water bottle becomes garbage. With a filter, it can be used indefinitely. My filter has no moving parts to break and can be back flushed if clogged. So the one advantage left for water bottled is they are superior for those of us wh…

  • Quote from odd man out: “One thing I've never figured out is why disaster relief agencies invest tremendous resources to ship and distribute truck/plane loads of water bottles instead of a box of water filters. ” bottles of water are cheap, immediately available in large quantities, immediately effective, come with their own containment vessel, don't require instructions for use and don't require spares for clogged filter media or other pieces that might break. yeah, that's really tough one to f…

    Quote from jimmyjam: “The Highway Man, A Longmire Story by Craig Johnson. It's about my sixth book by him that I've read, and he's got about that many more that I'll chew thru after this one. Current time mysteries that take place in and around Indian reservations in Wyoming. Really good stuff. ” never read any of the Longmire stuff, but I did enjoy watching a few seasons of the Longmire series on A&E. maybe i'll give the books a try.

    Quote from Time Zone: “Quote from jimmyjam: “All I have is an ocean kayak and a canoe. The canoe is my favorite. ” I know it's a real thing, but "ocean kayak" sort of sounds like it's in the same category as "Everest summit fanny pack" ” it never much caught on in the US, but other countries ocean kayaks were huge. I remember going to the beach at east london, south Africa back in the 80's. the place was a mad house, much like a college football game, with tv crews, barbeque, and girls. I asked …
