They are cool. I was thinking how my son might like one. He bought cord, knife(s), big 1st aid kit for his car already. Says he wants to be a sheepdog, not a sheep.

I have a few, they are helpful in extreme situations and look good if you get the right color combo.

While some of us will be the shepherd.

I certainly like "shepherd" more than sheepdog. It came from a video he was watching on YouTube about being proactive, protective, doing the right thing...etc. I thought it would have been a bad time to point out that the whole "sheepdog" thing was kind of lame.

Sheepdogs are awesome, but someone has to tell them what to do.

Question Colby Brown ... have you used one yet?

FYI- these are really easy to make and cost a lot less than $25. You can pick up some utility cord and a buckle at REI for $7 and find some good how-tos online. My husband and I just made some and it literally took us about 15 minutes to do.

So, you're saying the markup is about 200%?

Christina Lihani - Ya, I take one with me when working in remote areas or in countries with very little infrastructure. Its potential can be limitless in most dier situations.

Stephanie Jordan I saw some diy videos online too. I think I'd rather make than buy. Thanks for the idea about getting the buckles at REI.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me.

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
