That Escape Scarf is now on my list for 2020 also.
And btw, talking about escape and evasion... I'm part way through reading 'Honest John', bio of WW2 ace and Korean war legend Walker Bud Maturin... Excellent! Damn scary and sobering stuff. Very honest and real insights into this man's experiences.
