Odds ‘n Sods:

Are you planning to put a pair of walkie talkies under the Christmas tree this year? My #1 Son recently mentioned: “Why should people get their kids cheap 500 milliwatt ‘toy’ walkie talkies, or even 1 watt FRS radios when you can instead get them more practical 2 watt MURS radios? That will be a gift that they can keep and use in their adult lives.” (I think that he was broadly hinting that he wants a pair for himself.)

A reader penned this thank you: “I just got another 100% Merino extra fine wool sweater from eBay and am looking at a half dozen more. After reading about this wonderful wool material on SurvivalBlog last year, I bought a few and really like them. I wouldn’t even know about it, if it wasn’t for you.
