5K Giveaway
on: October 15, 2016, 03:24:07 PM
I never thought I'd make it past 800 posts yet I just hit the 5K mark so I wanted to give something back to the great community that is MTO.

This is your chance to win a begleri, a sort of worry beads or fiddling device  -please see pictures below.

The GAW is open to all members with 50 posts or more by the time of the draw, which will be held on October 22 around midnight (my local timezone).

In order to enter please pick a number between 1-500 then add it to the list -beware of the OCD Squad's wrath  ::) - and tell us the one EDC item you wouldn't be without (be it a SAK, MT, fixed blade, flashlight, bubble gum, zombie apocalypse tactical crowbar, whatever that is). Pics are encouraged.

Right, then, picture time.





Good luck eveyone and thanks for making this the best place on the Internet  :cheers:

We were also told to beware the wrath of the OCD clan. We can barely maintain a sequential list. Can you imagine we can maintain a random one. Besides "1" IS a random number between the limits, and so are the others  >:D

Congratulations. I'm close behind you for the 5K mark.
I won't participate, since I have access to these Greek accessories. I regard many EDC items as indispensable, but, to be compatible with your GAW, let's say a komboloi. I'm never without one, prefering a silver with carneole as a youngster, a coral root in my 30s to early 40s and an obsidian the last 4 years.
The amber one belonged to my grandfather. Some beads were lost and I replaced them with silver ones.

Welcome to lifelessness, firiki! Great idea for the GAW!
 :salute: :tu:

I can't leave home without my phone and ID Cards, but I think that's what everyone carries (even non-forumites). So, I went for the next thing I EDC (not because I HAVE TO but because I feel better having it with me). I also carry some bigger SAK/folder but that varies. The small ones are a constant.

001 - 50ft-trad (mobile phone - currently a Blackberry Passport)
002 - Josh613 (Mobile Phone-iphone 5)
003 - magentus (SAK)
004 - glenfiddich1983 (awl)
050 - sLaughterMed (Samsung Galaxy S3 phone)
136 - pfrsantos (Rambler + Nitecore Tube blade)



Fine! Forget what I said first. I can't leave home without a blade. Be it just the Rambler or a heavy folder, I need to have some cutting utensil with me.

I'm one of those youngster types who carry a begleri instead; komboloi being great for grandpa's and stuff, U know...  :P

Seriously now, an amber komboloi is a great thing! I prefer a begleri because it's easier to carry in my pants pocket and because I'm just used to it  ;)
