Quote I am personally familiar with this bomb design. I became familiar with this in mountain biking circles where we had to become familiar with typical backwoods defense practices used by marajuana growers in remote areas.


Y'know, it might not be a bad idea to post those backwoods defense practices in the wiki. If the knowledge helps mountain bikers, it should help letterboxers.

Quote I don't use PVC for containers myself, and I don't necessarily suggest that anyone should.


Then, you should not have a problem with removing any mention of PVC containers from your site. There are so many other viable alternatives that removing PVC would not affect the quality of the rest of your site in the least bit.

Quote I haven't had any concerns with them.


I think you have heard today from a fair number of folks who do.

Many people recognize your experience, and I believe you are relatively well-respected in this community. I can personally attest to your carving ability. It looks to me like you are placing your good reputation in jeopardy.

Throw me back a couple centuries, I think I have witnessed a true witch trial!!

I will file this memory with the idea of having to take my shoes off everytime I go to the airport even though I have red hair and white freckled skin, I may 'look like' one of the hijackers from the news. You never know, I may be a terrorist with my nail clippers floating around the bottom of my designer purse which I would never want blown up over the vast deserts of Texas. Even though I have reveled in the thought of jabbing the file part of the clippers into the guy next to me that always seems to get drunk during the flight and thinks I want to listen to his garbled nonsense.

I honestly hope no one makes a bomb out of any food container or this whole hobby will become extinct.
