My MSS is fucking unstoppable. People pay over a grand for a sleeping bag at REI that does what a MSS does for about $100.

The only time I ever used both the inner and outer of my sleeping kit, was outdoors in the depths of winter with no shelter at all, otherwise it was too hot, if we were in winter tents, I just used the outer.

Winter recce tho, we didn't use tent groups, we just put down the thermorest, sleeping bag in a bivvy bag, white camouflage screen, and good ta go, inner, outer, liner and hood, it's rated to -40C.

When you had to get out it was fuckin' cold, but while you was sleeping, it was toasty.

Do you have a microwave in your van? Get one of those heat cushions full of wheat. They will stay warm for quite some time and you don't have to worry about cracking or leaks. You can even make one yourself from scratch.

For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

Anyone else catch this? At least students seem to rabble rouse once they realize what this is......

It's been a fucking long day at work today. A 13hr shift as an agency chef in a local residential Christian conference centre. Topped off with a snowflake literally bursting into tears for a full 15 minutes because there was nothing gluten and dairy free, non carb, non spicy for her to eat. She's been in for two days without bothering to tell me of her dietry needs. I quickly heated up some of tomorrows roast beef and made a quick gravy for her. Did I get a thank you? Not on your life did I. She continued to stand by the counter crying for another 10 minutes while her meal went cold.
Add to that a miserly 7.5 out of 10 from DB for the effort I put into my Trump anniversary poem and I'm ready to go to bed.
Stop the world, I want to get off...

I have no idea of her political affiliations, all I saw was a self centred snowfake thowing a hissy fit for attention. She was a Christian and apparently worked as a counsellor, Physician heal thyself.
