Weird. Linking text doesn't seem to be working. :-/
Edit: Changed it to a bookmark and now it works. Hmmm.
@sumudu Thanks. I have one in brown Cordura that I'm currently using, which I acquired several years ago. Buying a new one in olive-colored ballistic nylon because the new ones have a more comfortable strap (it's non-removable) and the ballistic nylon won't abrade my clothing the way the Cordura does.
@matigo Because it's coming from Chistopol1, which is out in the middle of bloody nowhere in Tatarstan near Kazan, having it shipped via Russian Post takes a while. I just treat anything from my source as having gone on a great adventure, which one can follow along with via the shipping updates. One time it took an unscheduled diversion into the French postal system for unknown reasons before finally reaching U.S. Customs in New York.
This is where the First Moscow Watch Factory evacuated to when Moscow was under siege by the Germans.
Since we're talking about packages, I also have a new Tom Bihn bag on the way to be my new EDC bag:
@hazardwarning Ooooh, that looks slick. I should do something like that when v5 is ready.//@matigo
@matigo Nope. It was just released this morning by Russian customs in Sharapovo outside Moscow, near Vnukovo airport.
Interesting--looks like my latest watch purchase is clearing Russian customs in Stolbishche (Kazan area) instead of Moscow or St. Petersburg, where it usually does. Huh.
