While doing a websearch to replace Ryan's clip light that I broke last month in Molina Basin, I ran across a supposedly "survivalist" website with the TM: "Essentials for your survival." This little flashlight is available for those who want to "be prepared" (with apologies to the Boy Scouts)...

I think I'll stick with the clip-on flashlight Karen. My belly's too hairy for that. :)

I don't know about the women of The Village but I would like to applaud your sticking -- no pun intended -- to a clip-on variety. You would seriously need to consider drastic changes like shaving off all your chest hair for anything to come close to the other option.
What is Karen thinking anyway? She's always been just a little weird to me. I don't know your opinion of her. That's just mine. She offered me a ride recently to the McConnells house. I don't want to say she's a crazy driver but for the little time I scrunched myself into that little ride of hers some would say she missed out on a role in "Fast and the Furious." I would actually like to see her attempt to do some donuts in that thing. I think she really likes her new ride. Am I right, K2?
Anywho, yeah if I can speak for the guys in The Village please stick to the clip-on flashlight for now. Feel free to email me if you want. My address is jmccammonii@yahoo.com. Don't let Karen talk you into the belly light. We're here for you man.

Well, the larger my belly gets, the shallower my belly button becomes; so I think I might be short-lived on that sort of a light... for the next few months, anyway. Still, it might be a good warning light: "big belly coming -- stay clear".
What's fabulous about it is that it's being sold on a site that seems to take itself seriously about equipping people for danger. How often are you going to find yourself trapped in a cave with only your belly-button-self-adhesive-multi-colored-blinking flashlight to rely on?
It could happen.

Suki,
For some reason I'd like to address you by your blog name instead. If it's okay with you, that is? If it's not we'll just do it anyway :-). Suuuukki, It sounds like a name called out by a Japanese father or mother.
I don't know where these "survivalists" get their ideas. I can assure you this belly light is not included in any survival tactics books approved by the U.S. Military. My dad showed me a few survival tactics items. The rest are reserved for those actually in the military.
I really have to show him this website and get his viewpoint on it. He served in the Persian Gulf War on a hardship tour back in '90-'91. He's pretty familiar with all survival tactics including among others which bugs are edible and how to camouflage yourself for various purposes.
Anyways, I just think Karen wants for NewRyan to shave his chest hair so he could display it on a future camping/hiking adventure. I could be wrong. Let's keep focused on the issue, though. And quit bragging how you can change your belly button status report so easily. It's not nice. I wish I could roll my belly except for the fact that I've been working out everyday for 2 hours for the past 6 yrs. and my abs are too firm to do that. Not that I'm bragging.

Actually, Ryan, I was considering it for myself but decided that my belly hasn't seen the light of day since the Carter Administration... maybe it's better that way? I think I'll spring for the arm tattoo first.
