My dad is getting his CB license right now

Gramicci. They aren’t necessarily specializing in cargo but they are cotton and the pockets are spacious.

Looks like current technology has eclipsed this certain piece of for-life-ownership-item.

Can barely imagine it's actually gonna be useful in a scenario where you need help within 24h. At least in Europe you'd solely have to rely on hobbyists.

I've had my Triple Aught Design backpack. Used it daily for a decade while in school.

I'd also look at Frost River. Stuff lasts darn near forever. However, they probably won't have the organization you are looking for.

You could probably get somebody to relast them

I just watched a YouTube video on these yesterday. Didn't know they existed before then

I was about to say, it's Android, someone will definitely be making an OS for it for a long time even if it's not the OEM

If you want durability, you want leather. Since you want cheap footwear, you're better off buying surplus military.

As long as you don't saturate the leather boots with wax conditioners, they'll breathe just fine. Wear decent wool socks also.

The nalgene stainless is a great bottle, I have two that are in rotation.

Oh get the fuck out. Wrong sub. Wrong life. Go be a puritan.

Thought it was an ignition interlock breathalyzer for a second. Would have been a weird flex.

We had them in mom's van and in my dad's truck growing up in the 90s lol. Dad had a 102" whip antenna, and that old Cobra would get some range on it! We easily got 20-25 miles reception. I had the same Cobra CB in my car back in college, and it helped me SO much. If hit the interstate and ask a bear report. And if it was clear we'd be smooth sailing.

I started with Fairphone 2. Painful experience, there were a lot of problem. Uograded to Fairphone 3: problem solved, work like a charm. Don't plan to upgrade to 4 before a few years. Already dropped it in my bath, easily replaced the mic module.

I think I wore mine like four times

My Nokia smartphone was the worst phone I've ever had. I've never had a phone for less than a year until I got that one, but after six months I just couldn't deal with the constant lagging and crashes. My Motorola wasn't much more expensive and perform much better

Lost Sheep to Shepherd, you got yer ears on?

Unless it’s an electric water heater. In which case the gas company will look puzzled.

Then you should see the ECU in my Land Cruiser! You’d be amazed. Personally, I think it’s the least impressive part of the vehicle.

There are a bunch of rules, but to your point, they aren’t practically enforced.

I don't know if they're still up for sale,

If they're not:

Check out Chicago Combs instead.

ב''ה,

The regulations haven't changed much, although I guess SSB (as can somewhat improve range per watt at the expense of compatibility) is allowed slightly more output power legally.

So, in working order, this is probably about as good as any CB set ever, and for contacting the widest range of them.

It's fun, as is proper ham stuff. Since trucking exists and some emergency services might still even monitor channel 9 somewhere (maybe there was a rare amount of local variation with that?), could still be useful if needed.

You and I are of the same mindset lol

Has it been useful?

That was great.

If you don't hear anything on any channel, there is probably something wrong with your setup. I don't CB much but whenever I turn on my CB radio I can either find traffic or even shout out can anyone hear me. It's probably pretty easy to blow the finals on most CB radios I think, do you have any kind of test equipment to see if you're actually transmitting?
