Ok. Umm. Carried LM Wave today. Used to be my favorate. Now that I have so many tools. It's just not the same.

Opinel 13. Aye currumba!

Farmer.... So close. Needs scissors and have thought about modding my solo but can't bring myself to do it.

I'm after a user for me or some specific tool that would be a good collector.
My main interests are rescue tools but I have some other adventure sport specific tools like the Ueli Steck special. But would prefer to spend less that $100. As for gaps. Mmm there are not too many. Kind of like knifeless tools of high quality.

If you don't already have one, get a ResQMe. Put it on your keys. Very light, very inexpensive. Great car rescue tool.

In fact, get two, and do a give-away for the other, so you not only help yourself, but help someone else, and doing a giveaway makes you feel awesome about yourself.
