Another one bites the dust !

[Taxi Dad]

lost my 'Byrd Tern' to some thick bushes while helping out a friend in his Garden today 
fetch me my Angry trousers !

[enki_ck]

Take a big strong magnet and a powerful torch and go look for it. NOW! Before it gets lonely and jumps in someone else's pocket.

Poor thing all alone in the cold.

Bummer

I've had good luck with looking at night with a bright light for knives I've lost

especially if there open with a polished blade.

it will reflect back at you if you hit it with the light.

[Taxi Dad]

she was closed  and 'tactical' Black 

using pocket clip on jogging pants not my greatest moment 

 

[Smashie]

Good luck with the search!

[Goatlord666]

that's gonna be tough...hoping for the best!

[kirk13]

Want to borrow my new axe? 

Seriously though,that's a bummer! Good thing is though the Tern is pretty corrosion proof

[Taxi Dad]

I shall go back tomorrow for another hunt, but I'm not very optimistic 
I'm not even 100% sure that's where it was dropped, maybe she'll just turn up somewhere odd...that's happened before with tools I've 'lost' 
in the mean time I may have to hold a vote on my new EDC OHO 
I can't afford to buy anything new at the mo, so, off the top of my head the contenders are (ATM  )

Vic Trekker ~ far from people friendly, quite 'scary' to the masses 
LM Wave ~ a bit 'over-kill' to pair with my swisschamp (which I can't leave at home  )
LM Wingman ~ I'm tempted 
Gerber EAB (old style and worn) ~ WAS my first choice before the Byrd, and great as *hack and hope*
                                                          (no big problem cutting things that shouldn't be cut with your 'blade')

all are not UK legal I know but needs must, and I'm not stupid about where I go, and I empty my pockets if I'm going to be somewhere I couldn't argue 'reasonable cause' (not that I've EVER had my pockets turned out by police)

[Taxi Dad]

Want to borrow my new axe? 

Mmmmm  I'd rather wear a dress 

[Smashie]

Lol wear the dress and take the axe, no copper would want to do the paperwork on that one

You've never seen him in a dress before...he makes Def look sexy

that sucks.

try backtrack I guess.

you might get lucky.

[ducttapetech]

I hope you find it.

[Mr. Whippy]

I have had very good luck backtracking the day when I've lost tools (Charge ALX and my beloved blue Vic Farmer).

Good luck!

[pfrsantos]

If you get a powerful enough magnet, even closed you should be able to get it. Can you get a dog and try to have it sniff it out? Give it another one of your tools to get the scent.

Burn the bush down!
If the handle is plastic, better not use a Napalm or flamethrower or something. Try the Orange Agent they used in Vietnam. But you should evacuate the county because it might give prolonged lateral damage.

Disclaimer: I was just kidding. Don't do such a thing, and if you do, don't tell anybody I told you so.

Hope it turns up michael, ive lost a few things and they always turn up in odd places or friends find them and know instantly that its mine my fingers and toes are crossed mate

I know who to blame when blame is needed

That's the spirit!

[Taxi Dad]

[PTRSAK]

Never give up hope. I once lost a pair of pliers on a job and found them 18 months later.  Shuttle have then to this day 20 years later.
