On Thursday, we moved all the heavy stuff from our old house to the new. I had tied the front door open with cord, and pulled my TiNi SOG Crosscut out to cut the string when we were done. In my haste to cross the lawn to the moving truck, and while attempting to put the tool in my pocket, I dropped it.I should note that I have a 'thing' about highly visible tools, after having lost a frickin' camo flashlight in the woods when I was in my late teens.I would say shiny gold qualifies as 'highly visible', particularly in bright sunlight, on a lawn of freshly mowed grass. It should have been a simple matter. It turned into 6 minutes of searching. The scary part was that there was a stub of pipe in the lawn that was theoretically large enough for the tool to have fallen into. When it was finally found, it was about twelve feet from where I THOUGHT I'd dropped it. Go figure.I may have to switch to my stay-glo climber for EDC now. And it probably wouldn't hurt if i could find a way for it to start emitting loud chirps if more than 3 feet from me.
just attach 100 feet of paracord
I also recommend a plug for the pipe.....
Rather than lots of paracord, I think multiple backups are the way to go. Most of us seem to go this way I see....
Just poison all the grass.
