Re: Does anyone use CB?

Does anyone remember the groups that used to monitor channel 9 on CB? I can remember asking people to leave channel 9, and 'rotate it up a couple'.

Re: Highlander emergency shelter

I have a three person one they are good, but they do heat up really quickly, they have them groups bigger than twelve. They do what they say on the tin as far as I am aware, they are not for long term shelter, but for an emergency bivvy in bad weather. Thanks for the info,hope never to need it but ...
