Case Gears What kind of survival gear is included in an Apache gunship in case of a crash?
I am wondering what kind of survival gear and weaponry is included in an Apache gunship in case of a crash during combat operations? Medical gear? Food? 9mm pistols? M4 Carbines? Flares? Smoke grenades? A tent? Etc?
That's classified. That info is on a Need To Know basis, and frankly, you don't need to know.
LOL...IDK.
I do know that every pilot is equipped with a sidearm. The standard sidearm for all US military is the M9 Beretta. I'm sure a radio, map, smoke grenade and transponder are standard.
Wilderness Survival Gear For Hiking And Backpacking
As backpacking and hiking equipment has become more sophisticated, people have gotten more daring, and at times even reckless. Humans, it seems, have an inherent need to prove they can survive in the wilderness. More and more hikers and rock climbers are backpacking deeper and deeper into the unknown wilds. These are not your weekend campers. Rather, these are serious nature lovers who look and find there own truth, each time they venture outdoors. There is obvious gear and equipment they utilize, both traditional and futuristic. This article will attempt to verify some of the accepted items to pack, as well as some new options to think about.
When packing, it doesn't matter what type of activity you are going to undertake, there several unwritten rules one has to abide by. First, you must pack light, and include the basics of food, water and a way to purify it, first aid kit, and some kind of fire starter. A map and compass, so you have an idea on where you're going and how to get there. Include some type of multipurpose knife or tool that can perform a number of tasks, from cutting branches to removing splinters. Don't forget your sunglasses and some sun screen. A flashlight and extra batteries, even if you are taking some type of lamp. Now, this is very important. Even though you are trying to keep it light, you must take extra food, as well as rain wear and extra clothing, including a hat.
There are two schools of thought when it comes to the use of futuristic equipment. I'm referring of course to GPS and beacon technology. Purists don't want anything electronic, and the other camp feels they should take advantage of anything that will get them home safely. The current expense of these devices does make them cost prohibitive. Also, in the case of an injury, these units don't give the precise location of a victim, so you will still need some sort of signaling device, like a mirror or whistle.
I don't feel that the future must all be electronic. I have come up with a patent pending concept that will satisfy both camps, and is so cost effective, anyone that backpacks, hikes, rock climbs, and camps, will be able to afford. In this day and age of electronics, I have devised something that is completely mechanical. There are no batteries or bad reception to worry about. Surviving in the wilderness should never come to mean survival. In this day and age, someone who is lost should only be thinking about being rescued.That is why we needThe LifeTracker.
The LifeTracker makes it possible for people to be found before panic on both sides will ever set in. It not only will save lives, but millions of dollars in search and rescue man hours. The LifeTracker is a device that in case of an emergency will, with the pull of a cord, jettisons a heavy gauge red balloon attached to a 1000 ft fishing line up high enough for searchers or a rescue plane to see. The LifeTracker is a series of 3 different products designed to locate anyone lost in the wilderness, in hours rather than days.
The LifeTracker Belt is...4" wide with pockets on the outside to store a thermal blanket and other survival supplies.
The LifeTracker Vest...Using the same concept as the "Belt" the vest inner side unzips to release a folded lean-to tent complete with telescopic 3 ft poles. Some people will prefer a vest and are willing to pay extra for the complete survival package. This offers a great option, and like the "Belt", is very marketable.
The LifeTracker Flare Gun...Flare guns are very expensive and, of course, the flare only has a short life. With a small adjustment to the LifeTracker Device, it can easily be kept in a lightweight pistol, that can be stored in any backpack, vehicle, boat or plane. It might even have military use.
The LifeTracker Series can be manufactured and sold inexpensively enough so that anyone who camps, hikes, rock climbs, or just ventures into the wilderness, will want to include it as part of their gear. Even if the rescue device is never activated, the gear becomes part of everyday wilderness attire. Please help my dream come true.

Side Cylinder Which solution to use to remove Carbon Particles on inner side of metal cylinder without damaging cylinder?
Please suggest solution only as the Carbon Particles cannot be removed with hand .i.e., hand cannot reach inside of the cylinder.
Also REMEMBER that while cleaning that cylinder the CYLINDER itself should NOT get damaged.
The Cylinder I am referring is none other than Silencer of Scooty Pep.
You should not need to de-carbonize Scooty's silencer.
It is a 4 cycle engine and they do not build much carbon in exhaust sytem.
Scooty is not too old either,,they only started in mid 2003
But if you WANT to clean it,,,and if I understand you to be reffering to the SILENCER,,,The Exhaust System ( In English)
>>REMOVE it from Scooty
Spray it full of OVEN CLEANER.
In America we have a name brand called "EZ-OFF Oven Cleaner"
Let it soak a few hours then rinse it out with water.
DO NOT let any Oven Cleaner touch any ALUMINUM parts.
It will eat them/Corrode them very very badly,very quickly.
It is a VERY powerful and aggresive chemical.
ONLY use on Steel or Chrome.
If You are Not CERTAIN of the type of Metal,,Do Not Do This.
....................
If You want to de-carbonize the inside of the actual ENGINE without taking it apart----
Read the Answer to your question from TBWrench.
He is Correct about DRIPPING or Misting water into Engine as the engine is running.
TBWrench gave You very good advice about an Old & Well-Proven Method.
Many people Know it.
But Many people Do Not.
To those who Do Not Know it,it always sounds Crazy.
It's is Cheap,Simple,Fast and it works like a Miracle.
There are 2 Cautions I would add.
#1 Do Not feed Too Much Water,Too Fast.
Do Not Accidentally Spill Too Much Water Into engine.
Water is a Liquid and Liquid Does Not Compress.
It acts like a SOLID.
If Too Much Water fills your engine while it's running,
it will act just like you dropped a BRICK into your engine.
It will BREAK something.
The Procedure is VERY,VERY SAFE if You are Careful.
Nothing works better.
# 2 Caution
When You Spray or Drip the water into the Engine,
The Carburettor Opening where you will add the water has some Small Holes or Orifices,,Passages.
Do Not let the water get into those small holes.
Restrict the water flow or mist to the Center of the carburettor's Intake Bore.
The water will cause problems if it gets into those small holes.
I prefer to introduce the water thru a vacuum line whenever possible.
But Scooty does not have a vaccuum line or port,,I do not think.
Be Careful and you will get SAFE,FAST Easy Results ,,for Free.
**For anyone who thinks that spraying water into a running Engine is a Joke,,
I remind them that Water Injections Kits were once Very Popular GIMMICKS for Horsepower,Gas Mileage Boosts in America in the '50's and 60's.
It was just a plastic bottle with a hose which connected to an engine vaccum hose.
They did not REALLY Work to increase Power or Economy as-advertised.
But it was found that they DID DO a marvelous job of Cleaning Carbon from the engine's combustion chamber.
That in itself improved many engine's running.
The things were common on the market for 20~30 Years.
If they were doing Damage,,there's No Way they would have stayed around that long.
By the Mid '60's it became Hard to sell people a plastic bottle and a few feet of small rubber hose for $20~30.
A crossflow cylinder head is a cylinder head that features the intake and exhaust ports on opposite sides. The gases can be thought to flow across the head. This is in contrast to reverse-flow cylinder head designs that have the ports on the same side.
A crossflow head gives better performance, but the popular explanation put forward for this — that the gases don't have to change direction and hence are moved into and out of the cylinder more efficiently — is a simplification since there is no continuous flow because of valve opening and closing. But since there is overlap between the intake and exhaust profiles there is a point in which both valves are open. At that point the inertia of the exhaust gases leaving the cylinder helps to aspirate the intake gases into the cylinder. The other main reason for a crossflow's performance is that the ports and valves can be larger and its physical separation of the hot exhaust manifold keeps the air in the intake manifold cooler. Most modern engines are of a crossflow design.
"Crossflow" is often used to refer specifically to Ford Motor Company's Kent Crossflow 4-cylinder OHV engine. This unit has been used in cars from the 1960s up to the present day, albeit with the addition of fuel injection and a modern engine management system.
This term is used for engines which have only one intake and one exhaust valve per cylinder; four (or five) valves per cylinder engines get their superior performance from total port size, not the relative location of the ports, which doesn't have to be mentioned.
i have a 2000 big bear 400 atv. the choke slide is stuck/corroded wont move. i have accepted the fact that i need a new carb. new ones are huge bucks. so im wonderin if anyone knows what universal type carb would be a good replacement? its a mikuni 33mm bsr. thanks
Believe it or not, you can run just about any type of float type carb on it. All you have to do is go to your local machine shop and get them to fabricate you a adapter for the carb. And adjust the fuel air mixture to a good smooth run. I have done this on many bikes and it does work...good luck
