Not a bad price on these for your EOTWAWKI pack or glove box.

Desert sky report
Yesterday, good skies. Three fighter types, a KC-10, and Yellow Bird, a T-6 Texan in immaculate and correct paint with one Navy(?) star under the right wing. It comes through at altitude, maybe 15000 feet, and I have not had a good look at the tail or side markings. But it’s been through for the last several days, from south and then kicking around north and east. I’m thinking this is some sort of air tour outfit, with the frequency and similarity of flights. That radial is audible a long way out!
Yesterday lots of high ice cloud that made for sun dogs, a great colored circle around the sun, and briefly a faint fire rainbow near zenith.
Paulie woke me early this am, which was super convenient for seeing the eclipse. I lucked into a hole in the clouds and took snaps. 10 minutes before
Oops
At maximum, very near the Pleiades
It was cool to see the land and sky so dark at fullest moon.
By 3am it was again moon-bright out.
Setting moon, with raven
contrails are back and beautiful. That left one has a gorgeous fine texture.

And the pic I forgot! A moon dog (a paraselene) bright enough to snap. Moon is out of frame left.

Those life straws are pretty terrible hollow fiber filters. Instead, a “Sawyer Mini” is a more reliable filter that you can actully back flush to keep it clean. And it’s only $20.
Sure, you have to put the water in a bag first. But it comes with the bag…lol.

So with a life straw, you have to lay on your belly to drink from a water source. And you gotta be able to suck a golf ball through a garden hose to get it to work right.
with any other hollow fiber filter, the dirty water is put into a bag that you can squeeze through the filter, or even let it gravity filter over time with no input from you.
Life straws are a novel concept, especially when there are so many decent alternatives out there that cost about the same

Yeah, I keep a sawyer mini as my backup, and something called a Katadyn Be Free as my primary filter. It just filters so much faster, it makes life on the trail a little bit easier.

They’re busy up there today! These came by again, pair of -22s.
To the SE many short very twisted bits of contrail, probably someone engaging in fightery maneuvers.
A well-placed scrap of cirrus = rainbow penis!
(best out of sync martial arts voice) Fighters!! On me!! BEAR CLAW STYLE!

We used to call that the racetrack. I watched a 22 and a couple F-16 in a holding pattern. The 16's were doing the typical banking to make the circle, the 22 was kind of rotating on it's own axis. Vectored thrust is amazing.

Yeah, when I watched one do some sort of stall/ spin stuff. It recovered quickly every time from attitudes that in an F-4 meant “ejection imminent”.
