The SkinthTB (TrailBlazer) Fire Starting/BushCraft Sheath Carry

[Metropolicity]

Here we are folks!

From concept to reality...the prototype for The SkinthTB (Trail[COLOR="#ff8c00"]Blazer[/COLOR]).



The SkinthTB is constructed from various colours of 1000D PU Cordura. Just for fun, I used some extra Coyote Brown, OD Green, and the main flap Woodland Camo. The side tubes are boxed out instead of folded and tacked. This achieves a longer pocket and the same diameter from top to bottom.





The backside of the SkinthTB can be outfitted with any kind of carrying devices, this particular one has a MOLLE attachment I wanted to try out. I would imagine having horizontal carry straps would be useful for attaching this to backpack straps.



The SkinthTB can hold an AAA light or a slim AA or CR123 light.



The other side tube, marked with bright orange...a space for a match tubes up to 4" tall. This way, there is no guessing when in the field.



The inside of the SkinthTB can be loaded with bushcraft tools, a full size (4.5") folder, ferrorod, pry bar, and an Altoids tin (box is sized for mock up). I made a mistake and added the loop side of the velcro on the body, I was in the zone ah well. Prototypes.





The interior organizers provide space for up to 9 individual item, I didn't tack down the inner most layer so that any size folder can be placed, the one in the picture is my largest folding know (4.5")



Anyone want this one? or a new one?

Some more innovations on this one. A set of pen/knife loops on the front of the Trailblazer in addition to a row of elastic webbing under the flap for flat items.

oh man it looks even more awesome in tactical black on ninja black.





I am going to use this as my set building pouch later this month when I build a 'Apres Ski' themed party at an art gallery. The paracord tether is for duct and gaff tape to hang from my belt. 



I can put my phone in it!



One last glory shot.



I've been wanting to make one call the Best Boy, this maybe a good candidate.

Here it is in OD:

It's nice to see you haven't lost your creative drive, in the 24 hrs. or so that has passed since I last admired your work...!

Keep turning out the fine work.

I'm having a hard time determining which configuration I like best.   

Having this is some tabular form, or set up so that it was easy to see what models had what features would help me and my OCD immensely.

There wasn't enough traffic on MTO to do this BUT i have set up a FAQ thread with all the current, in prototype and in potentia models at EDCF:

http://edcforums.com/showthread.php/92254-Skinth-Series-FAQ

It's going to be continually updated with the latest questions and formulations for construction etc.

Also, my website has the in production models listed with descriptions and photos:

When I'm in the woods, I'm usually carrying one of a couple of sheath knives (ranging from Buck 140 Paklite to Ka-Bar MKII) and I'd want to be able to consolidate the whole thing. And chance of a pocket like theone notepad pocket on the Command Post, but without a bottom and with hook and loop lining the inside of it, letting me anchor a rigid sheath inside there, or locking it closed when carried alone.

I'm mostly asking in terms of feasability- I'm planning on making a more serious inquiry with you in a few months.
