I'll stick with 'web gear' or 'LBE' thank you.

Maybe it's just me, but 'warbelt' kind of brings airsofters to my mind.

I saw on the internet somewhere that there is trouble brewing between the Dakotas! It seems the wealthier North - oil money, etc - is jealous of the culture and refinement in the South, and desires to 'free' the many people working in low wage 'call centers'.

They want to unify the Dakotas, and subjugate the Southerners. I don't blame the South, I'd go to war, too!

My 'war belt' in my day - we didn't call it that, though. No 'Spartan' or any other signature blade - USN issued combat diver's knife - my personal all-around favorite and cost me zip.

My 'harness' now hangs on a hook in the closet next to my Winchester Model 25 12Ga pump.

We didn't call them that either. Mine looked a lot like yours, minus the custom webbing. Back then, a Gerber was a big deal to me.

And FWIW - that's not a 'Spartan' blade - it's a USN issued combat diver's knife - my personal all-around favorite and cost me zip.

Y'all never heard of the First and Second Amendments? He can call it whatever he wants. Can't we just enjoy the gun porn?
Tac Blade, you could of saved yourself a lot of grief if you'd called it "I-got-Second-Amendment-Rights-So-F-You-Diane-Feinstein Belt".

Yeah, he said Dinosaur bones. He lives in South Dakota. Lots of fossils there. Valuable? Ask Sue Hendrickson about the $8 million.

All you assets and such -- go on, get on back to the little kids table. Us grown up QPs can handle teasing the new kid just fine by ourselves.
Go on! Git!

That is WAY cool. I imagine if you set up a "bubba-cue" grill nearby with a piss tube you'd get a whole bunch of volunteers to come and "guard' the site. Looks liek a LOT of fun.

The one showing us digging is at one of the sites. My son on the left, my buddy on the far right and the fat, grey haired guy, 20 years out of the Army, is me in the middle. LOL!!!
WOW!!!! That is so cool! The triceratop was my favorite childhood dinosaur. T-Rex was a close second, as was Allosaurus. I can't imagine how it feels to find a "60 million year old dino". I get excited when I find my car keys!

In all seriousness, thanks for sharing this. That is pretty darn cool, sir. Do you use any sort of imagery equipment? Or are you super-skilled with two sticks as you wander around like a native on the hunt for water? JK!

Can't wait till the Chinese find out.

If rhino horn is strong, triceratops horn has got to be ten times as good!

Ok so I will ask...What's the coolest?

1. A well provisioned "war belt"
2. Dinosaur bones to keep in collection or license to museums
3. A 150,000 acre ranch (wow!)
4. 10 years in the Army
5. Coyotes
6. The prospect of wasting looters with a 338 Lapua
7. Selling Dinosaur bones for big bucks
