Speaking of Townsend Whelen...from "On Your Own In The Wilderness" by Bradford Angier and COL Townsend Whelen:

The most indispensable tool for a hunter or fisherman or camper, and in fact for any outdoor man and boy anywhere, is the knife-a businesslike knife, sharp and keen. Mrs. Whelen's aunt, who taught high school Latin for thirty years in Nebraska, had the right idea. She asked every class, "Which boys have a jackknife in their pocket?" The ones who had none did not rate very high with her.

Her philosophy was that if a boy did not have a knife and know how to use it, he was not likely to grow up able to do many things for himself...I have had a knife like this in my back pants pocket ever since I was knee-high to a chopping block.

Common sense...when it was still common.

I always liked that quote and have tried to live up to the idea since I got my first sak at age 10 or 11.

I've been posting it on bladeforums (and here) for years. It's the way things are meant to be.

I have learned to NOT use their UPS Smartpost shipping option. That is a horrendous way to ship a package. For me, normal UPS ground delivery is 1 day, USPS Priority is 2 days. The "Smartpost" option is 5-7 business days and really doesn't save me any real money.

Banned for not shopping at the above Brownells link

To be fair, I had a problem with a Brownell's product recently and it took them 7 weeks to respond to my 3 emails.

Many companies are shipping like shit. They're using the coronavirus excuse.

I couldn't give less of a fuck, Amazon. Get me my shit here in two days. I don't care how many boxers you need to kill to do it.

On a serious note, it's not just workplace restrictions. With there being so little air travel, that's suffering as well.

I don't order much from MidwayUSA, I usually only order from them when Brownells or Primary Arms doesn't have what I need. I ordered a VLTOR A5 kit a week or two ago and had it in like 5 days.

Wait, what? A5 kits are unobtainium. Midway had some?

Yes they did, I just checked my MidwayUSA account and I ordered it on June 28th.

I got 3 Glock 19 Gen 4 RSAs from them, order to delivery was <1 week.

I don't often shop with them these days though.
