    100 bucks or less sunglasses

    I just picked up a pair of polarized glasses from Optic Nerve. $80 retail and they're very good. You can get the LeoAdventures discount if you're part of that program. Company is out of Colorado.

    Packs outside of the normal recommendations.

    Think about a used ILBE Gen 2 pack. Made by Arc'teryx for the USMC. Should be around $175 on Ebay.

    Flea and tick meds for dogs?

    I've had good luck with Advantix II, 1x/month. Have not noticed any oily residue. I think corgis must have been bred to maximize attractiveness to ticks. I was late putting it on this spring and pulled several each day. After applying, nothing.

    The hunting game

    Never played that one but did get to experience the original Oregon Trail in the elementary school library. Looking back...it encouraged wanton waste, but that's a pretty realistic pack weight
