Hi from New Mexico
on: January 14, 2015, 03:02:11 AM
New guy stopping to say hello.  Actually I've lurked here for quite some time and decided I should register. 

I live in the mountains in Southern New Mexico.  I really love it here and can't think a any place I'd rather be at right now.  I am about a half mile from Nat'l Forest and live in a small adobe on the side of a mountain.  Not so wild but very quiet and peaceful.

For many years,  I resisted buying my first multitool because of the high cost and actually trusting these new fangled gadgets.  Later I realized I would like to get one but just couldn't at the time.   One early morning I was walking along a lake and seen a spot where somebody was cleaning fish beside the water.  Laying right there to my surprise was a nearly hidden and bloody multitool next to a pile of assorted wood debris and ashes from the previous night.  I got to use it and abuse it at work and play,  it performed much better than I ever thought it could.   I still have it and occasionally use it to this day.

I do own a small collection of Multitools now along with various Swiss Army knives.  I collect outdoor knives and other sport tools/equipment for hiking, cycling, exploring, etc.   I am also a bicycle fanatic and into shooting primitive wooden bows for fun.   Hopefully soon,  there will be an opportunity for travel here and aboard.  You can bet that I will be carrying at least one multitool with me everywhere I go.

Much love for the 505

Welcome to the MTO from the mountians of Northern New Mexico

Hey there,  the MT I found by the lake is a Gerber M400,  I think.  It is still in remarkable condition and I used many times at work and used it as a standard tool on my touring bike.  Though today I have different MT's for different things.
