New Guy from Texas
on: April 02, 2016, 04:40:07 AM
Howdy Folks, I just recently joined your web site and I love it! I am an old guy, love the outdoors and have been a multi tool carrier and user since back in the mid 1980's. I am now retired but still love to hunt and fish and enjoy the outdoors. We live on a small farm in North East Texas and that gives me plenty of opportunity to use my multi tools. My EDC varies a little from time to time but currently is: LM Squirt S4, LM Squirt E4 (both on my keyring); LM Charge TTi on belt in nylon sheath with LM bit kit, LM extender, LM Croc and Hugsby AAA LED flashlight (all in sheath); and either modified LM PST II or Modified LM Wingman in hip pocket with belt clip. If I cut back and try to travel light I just carry the two Squirts and a Juice KF4. Oh, I also often carry a 4" Crescent adjustable wrench in the sheath with the Charge when I feel it might be needed. I am really enjoying the site and have picked up some good tips.

Welcome.  Another Squirt user tho I prefer the P4 myself.  Great little tools that are very capable on their own but when paired with a SAK now we're talking studsville.

OOPS!  :oops: I didn't tell "the rest of the story" I also carry a SAK Tinker or Trouble shooter frequently in place of the Juice. I was carrying the SAK's before Mr. Leatherman introduced us to his PST! I also have a couple of Gerber MTs on "stand-by". Glad to be here and thanks for the welcome msg's!
