The CARB rules limit the kinds of cans that can be sold, but don't say anything about what an individual can own or use. You're not breaking any air pollution laws. There may be motor vehicle laws requiring use of DOT approved containers, but that's not specific to California.

Won't that remove material and weaken the threads?

Sorry, I wasn't trying to be obscure. I was just looking for documentation that REI is trying to close down all trails and couldn't find it. The first was a list of donations to political candidates from REI employees and a report about lobbying activities and the second was the same, but...

Yep, I just got two from Amazon. I've never seen a Bundu box in person so I can't do a direct comparison, but these Plano boxes are strong enough to stand on and look like they'll last. The latches are okay but not great, pretty similar to Action Packers.

I went through several topo map apps on my iphone until I found this one: http://www.avenza.com/pdf-maps

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX3 Rolleicord V loaded with Ektar 100 iPhone 4s (but I hardly ever use it (as a camera)) My big toy purchase for the year was a lift kit for the Jeep, but next time I splurge it will be on a mirrorless camera. I really like what I've heard about the Olympus OM-D E-M5, but...

There are plenty of campfires up there in the sky. Sure, they're kind of far away, but a basic telescope makes them a lot easier to see...

Passed the exam on Saturday, so now I'm KJ6YKJ. Need to decide what to put in the XJ for backcountry communications.
