Great way to stay in shape for the zombie apocalypse!
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

I didn't see a price on the page.

Reminds me of the hand pump my aunt and uncle had back in the early 60's. Except this one's on steroids.

You weren't kidding when you said kind of expensive. Would still be worth it for WTSHTF.
