Default RE: Tow Cables

Now, talk about a suicide mission....be on KP on a cold morning and go out to light those $%*%#* emersion heaters[:@] I've seen that little 1 gallon tank go airborne a few times. Any of those devices depending on a gas drip was a built in "happening" and the Yukon stove was VERY bad, with that rubber hose, 5 gal gas can & metal clip as a feed...[:'(] Guys in today"s modern Army don't realize how good they have it. Next time I do a diorama on Korea, I think I'll add a blackend spot and burnt tent parts with a Yukon stove and collapsed jerry can with it. Hey, in mid 50s, that's all we had, and living in a tank at -30+, happy to have it. [X(]


Didn't mean to get off tow cables.....White wolf, nice idea, but I like the metal cables as they are metal, look the part and act like steel cables when you conform and mount them on the tank. A bit of grimey black and Rust all, and they look very real.
