Floyd OberFeldwebel Hmm, they should make a pouch that fits on a utility belt. Like the real Batman! That, along with a Popeil Pocket Fisherman! Never know when you're going to need to take out a trip wire. http://entertainment.howstuffworks.com/11-items-sold-by-ron-popeil2.htm
Yup and... Nearly injured? I had a fish hook go into my thumb when I was baiting the neighbor kid's hook. I wasn't done, I said something to her and she said, "okay!" and casted. Short story whatever, if you're baiting someone's hook, ******** hold onto the rod as well. Where was I? Oh yeah, that s**t went into my thumb and I didn't go, "omfg! We need to make something safer!"
I thought body armor was made of plastics. THAT PLASTICS COMMERCIAL LIED TO ME! xd

Oh yeah. I thought they used steel plates or whatever for the better armor. But I guess aluminum is a bit lighter. whee

Diamond is the measuring stone at a solid 10.

Fresnel Freak_090 Fresnel Actually, I kinda want the big brother model. Tested to 350 pounds, hmmm... If only it were stainless steel not aluminum... I have no problem with aluminum. My AR is aluminum. Airplanes are aluminum. Body armor is aluminum [oxide]. It's incredible stuff. Indeed they are, but steel is much stronger and would be able to hold a persons weight better.

If I were carrying my body weight on my back, I'd STILL be less than 350 pounds, and you know they cut that number way down for legal reasons anyway, so I don't see any problem with the aluminum version. That's just me though; for the huskier gentleman with a modest hundred-pound pack on, that might be stretching it a bit, but I really don't see such a person doing much ninja climbing.

I think anyone really serious about that kind of scaling really wants the big brother.
