Military Surplus M65 / M55 Field Jacket

These jackets are great. Probably the most comfortable that i have. I have had mine for 25 years or so and some how have picked up 1 or 2 more. 
Dont bother with the remakes and fashion garbage. Get a good well used one of these issued to the actual military. The fabric is super soft....and the coat is heavy. The zippers are HUGE and well made. They have a spot in the collar for a zipped in hood. They have closures around the wrists and plenty of large pockets.  Classic jacket but more importantly is how comfortable they are. Second to none. You can even get a liner that you can button into the inside of these to make them even warmer although i have never needed one. They are plenty warm as is. They were designed for full time outdoor army in cold weather. IF it is good enough for them, its good enough for me.

These were issued between the mid 1950 through the mid 1980s and are very easy to find. 

Verdict: Highly Recommended

Harbor Freight Drummond 110v Transfer Pump

This little pump is the best investment i have made in a long time. Harbor Freight sells these little 120v transfer pumps for about $65. They can be had for less than $50 using a coupon. I think tehy claim they can move 300+ GPH. They claim they are not for dirty water but seems to do just fine with leaves and grass clippings etc.. The come complete with a short length of standard garden hose for the inlet side and also has a nice surface fitting to suck water off the surface of something like a concrete floor. Very handy and in my experience will suck water down to ~1/8 deep. I picked mine up on a whim from HF more than a year ago as i was having some flooding issues in the yard in the spring. The low spots filled with water and with the ground still frozen there was no place for the water to go. Fearing it would continue to fill up and i would have issues with water getting into the house i grabbed this. I have used mine nonstop for hours and hours. I have run it in freezing c...

Stanley Insulated Coffee Mug

This thing is fantastic. I believe it comes in 3 different sizes. I am a bit of a thermos  connoisseur    meaning i have a lot of them. Everything from vintage ones to food jars to mugs like this. In my opinion this is WAY better than Kleen Kanteen or Hydroflask (Yes i have both). Those appear to be more of a fad. IF you want something that works well, get this Stanley. i have the 16oz version. It keep stuff hot for a very long time; Same with cold.  I think they run ~$20 and you can get them at Amazon or locally at Walmart. I wont go into that because nobody cares. Pour your liquid into it and then drink it. If you are pouring your liquid into it to let it sit for a week and then complain when it isnt still the same temperature, you are kind of an idiot. The pictured lid style is now harder to find but i believe it looks and works better than the latest model. Yes i have both. The current model is also very very good and would be my second choice and it is ...
