My first pic all on my own:
My Spartan Bag with pouches
(I will get better at this, right?)

Nice camera and nice pic! Good shot for a first pic, I can't see how you can do much better than that!
Spartan Bag - is that modeled after Val Kilmer's go bag in the movie?
I'll second TR's recommendation for the Maha charger and Thomas Distributing. I just wish I knew about his tip in the Be Prepared thread before buying the expensive 2700mAh rechargeable batteries. The 2000mAh batteries I just got work fine for my civilian needs.

Yeah, the bag was designed from the one in the movie. Don't tell the TS, but I think they showed it to Haney before they started building them. Anyway, it's a great bag. Doesn't look tactical at all and holds a buttload of stuff.

I remember reading about it earlier this year. At the time, there were pics of the rough prototypes floating around. Based on your pic and comments, it looks like the final product turned out really nice. Thanks for the mini review and pic.

I like MC for down here - alot. I think it's a great pattern. And I've been known to shoot a smart ass with a BB gun a time or two in my life - not much of a crime there... 
We use paint now - stings more, costs a lot more and we can call it fancy names like Less Than Lethal Reality Based Force On Force Warrior Mindset Training With Physical Components.
Sounds better than just 4 dudes shooting 2 dudes with BB guns to learn how to clear a room.

Actually, I'm a big fan of airsoft. Both for inexpensive indoor practice and improvised FoF.
I'm also a fan of MC. Caleb Crye was at Roger's when I took the class. He had a bunch of MC gear w/ him including the trousers that you don't have to take down to take a dump and his plate holder. It seemed like really well thought out gear and he seemed like a nice guy, definitely very sharp. Shot well, too.
The MC stuff practically disappeared in the GA woods. Don't know how it would work up here. TT doesn't charge extra for MC so I may get some MC pouches for my Marauder... 'cuz I hear chicks dig MC.

camera
Mine came with the Li-ion Battery. The one that came with the camera was small so I bought a higher capacity one. One charge last me an entire course. Also turn off the automatic review of your shots its eats up the battery life. Definitely get a 1GB card. You can put an hour of video on it plus 300 pictures. Worry about deleting the bad ones later. Good you cheap mofo, now you can do some of the picture taking.........LOL. Let me know if there are any accessories you need sent down. I still have a couple of Blood Hound Puppies for sale if you change your mind.

Looking forward to seeing the program of choice answer.
NDD, We got a Canon Powershot A-80 here. When I have to use it I make sure one of the kids is nearby to make it work for me. I HATE buttons that have 457 different functions depending on how you touch them.

Definitely need the 1GB card.
Any of you guys ever use a Carson Lens Pen on your stuff?

I used to use one. It's handy for a quick field clean of light dust if needed. Be careful not to get anything abrasive (e.g. sand) caught in the bristles.
For situations when there's more than just a little dust to clean off, this is the prefered method that i was taught by an old camera tech:
Take one sheet (~2 x 3 inches) of disposable lens cleaning paper.
Roll it length-wise and tear it in half.
Drop a small drop of lens cleaning fluid in the center of the lens glass (facing up).
Put the two torn paper ends together perpendicular to the lens and, pressing gently, clean in a long spiral from the drop in the center of the lens outward toward the edge.
Repeat with a new piece of lens paper as needed.
