I did for a while, and am going to build myself another one soon.
Mine was a small ammo type pouch that fastened to my belt as was about the size of a billfold. I had a bummed up hand at the time, and found it difficult to hold a billfold and still dig in it to fish out money. Now am looking at one to hold my billfold so that it is more comfortable to carry by making a pocket for it on my belt. |

So now we're giving scumbags low hanging fruit for what reason again? I'm guessing that it's a case of "put the real wallet somewhere hard to get to so they go for the decoy". That said, I'm guessing that werever it is that they need to think like this, honest people are the only ones not carrying concealed weapons. Just a guess. Criminals aren't as bold when they know that their potential victims just might be able to fight back effectively. Where? In dangerous foreign countries. NEVER at home. Last time someone was trying to set me up for an armed robbery, there were three of them, and I think at least one handgun (probably knives too). They were not very good at it-- I was with a group talking to the lead guy who had a bit of English and every time he was talking directly to me he had a big fake smile with all his bad Cambodian teeth, but every time I looked away and looked back he was looking at me like a really hungry dog looks at a steak. Quite unnerving. Needless to say they tried but failed to get me off to a secluded path for the robbery to go down (and there were lots of secluded areas). A businessman recently told me of another kind of setup-- you're walking along and you see a guy in front of you drop a package. A stranger beside you goes up and grabs the package. It comes open and there are wads and wads of cash dollars in there. He suggests you two go somewhere private and split the money... you can guess the rest. This guy was honest, and insisted the package be returned, so he got to keep all his stuff. ;-) Best regards, Spehro Pefhany -- "it's the network..."

Still don't know if he was up to no good, but that is what it looked like to me later after I had time to think about it. Also had a guy jump out of the bushes at me once. It was dark, and I was walking across a campus. I rounded a corner in my usual way (hugging the outside of the walk, furthest form the potential hiding places) when this kid jumps out of the bushes at me. Startled me completely. For every step he made toward me, I made a step back. I am 6'3" tall and 220 lb and hike for fun. My step is 3' long when I am moving, and when startled, I am moving. We did 3 steps, stopped and he looked at me for a moment. I am standing there looking at this 140 lb 5'6" kid thinking "what the hell???" and he just turned around and ran off with me still standing there thinking "what the hell just happened???". Still don't actually know what was up, sense he had no weapon that I could see. He could have been waiting to startle some of his friends and just mistook me for them or something. Just don't know. |

You should have seen him take off when I caught him.. Best regards, Spehro Pefhany Well he ever walk again? Last one that tried the dip on me, is now called Lefty If you grasp the little finger and the index finger firmly, one in each hand..smile to him/her reassuringly and gently tell them we'uns do this at Thanksgiving every year..then treat the two fingers like a wishbone from a turkey..it makes interesting sounds as the joints seperate, then tendons snap and the fingers are either broken at the hand or dislocate. If done with a sharp quick motion..it generally also splits the skin (web) between the fingers in question and the remaining fingers. Do it fast enough..and it seperates all the way down into the hand. Not only does the resulting mess take a very very long time to heal, but the dexterity for a "dip" will never return, effectively forcing them to either become ambidextrous, or seek alternative employment. The resulting screaming does tend to attract attention, so be sure to drop them quickly..and as they lay on the ground cradling the maimed hand..put the heel of your boot on the other hand..and grind it into the pavement. Now this may not be for the squeamish..as you realize they have no way to wipe their ass for at least 4-6 months if not longer Gunner "The importance of morality is that people behave themselves even if nobody's watching. There are not enough cops and laws to replace personal morality as a means to produce a civilized society. Indeed, the police and criminal justice system are the last desperate line of defense for a civilized society. Unfortunately, too many of us see police, laws and the criminal justice system as society's first line of defense." --Walter Williams |

SCA is Middle Ages, Society for Creative Anachronism. Depending on who you talk to, it's more or less based on recreating the Age of Chivalry for research and educational purposes. It's Middle Ages the way we wish they had been in a lot of instances. Central heat, hot showers, antibiotics, etc. are kind of nice. :) If you check for SCA on Ebay, you'll probably find many different items related to that. Pouches are sold by many merchants. Google for SCA pouches or SCA supplies and you'll get tons of hits.. There are probably just as many people selling Civil War gear or Mountain Man gear as well. Take a look at a Google search for Civil War reenactment supplies. sutler.com is right at the top. Mountain Man reenactment supplies yields about 230,000 hits. Lots to choose from. I recommend contacting Swordmoon Productions and see if they can make exactly what you might want as a custom item. |

Already got a new idea for one that I can make myself, and am still going threw them. :-) |

I'm looking for a manly bag to carry my stuff: sunglasses, cell phone, lunch, whatever. Not too big, not too petite. Any suggestions? Randy Replogle Back in myroad warrior days I saw that a lot of manly men in Europe carried small handbags and I picked up the habit. I haven't regretted it. I still use a small bag like the third one down on this page: http://tinyurl.com/el7sz I don't give a ****e what anyone says about it, even if they call it a "fag bag". I keep my cellphone, leatherman tool, comb, wallet, passport, medicines, discount coupons and lots of other stuff in it. I often just stick my wallet in my pocket and stash the bag gets under the driver's seat of my car when I'm heading into a store.
