Sunday, 17 July, 1:30ish pm, I-80 West, SF Bay Bridge: dark blue newer model 4Runner with fully loaded roof, bull-bar, and OB emblems on side pillars. Couldn't see the member number from where I was.

If you're making another take out run and need parking, I live right behind those 2 Chinese restaurants. Private off street parking, with enough room for my rig, the GF's A3, and the 170 Sprinter I occasionally drive for work. Plenty 'o room for another 80 back there!

You can have all the equipment in the world, but without proper training it's useless. Training is the best piece of First-aid equipment you could ever get! After my deployment, I started building out my kits to mimic what we carried in our rigs. The primary purpose was to stabilize/maintain...
