What are you folks finding the most difficult part of the challenge?

For me,it's carrying the same SAK everyday,without having a choice.

It's been a long,long time since I've lacked choice!

That's it in a nutshell.  Same goes for the torch.  Much as I like the E01 there have been a couple of times already where something brighter with a better throw would have been better.
Be excellent to each other and always know where your towel is.

You should definitely get one. A Soldier (Wenger SI preferably) is a SAK everyone should own.

Day whatever we're on, part two. Used my Classic as a staple remover, cuz I couldn't find the one at work. Tomorrow, I'm not expecting no major SAK chores outside of opening snacks at the hospital cuz I'm HAVING A DAUGHTER TOMORROW!
Congrats!!!

Had my first torch fail last night. The dog was going barking up a storm last night. Which is something he rarely does. Tried to see what was going on with the Solitaire. No go. I needed something that was really bright and a lot of reach. So I used my Mini mag pro. Just turned out to be a skunk. Glad I was able to see that and get the dog out of there. That would have been a nasty mess.

Thanks for the well wishes. This will be our second; our 3-1/2 year old boy is staying with his grandparents for a few days.

We were supposed to be at the hospital 45 minutes ago to check in for the induction, but received a call at 4:30 am to explain that the rooms were all full. So, we're officially on call.

Yesterday all the Compact did was trim a few stray beard whiskers and open a box.  This is really my typical day more or less.  Just proves I really don't need to carry what I do for the most part, if I were concerned with being minimalistic that is....which I'm not ;)

Day 8: Ultra Minimalistic

Forgot my Crusader at home, so I went bare :facepalm:
Couldn't open a clamshell package (Had no scissors, no knife and keys don't work well for that :ahhh) and had to use a table-knife for the lunch-break :cry:.
It wouldn't be the internet without people complaining.

Day 8: Ultra Minimalistic

Forgot my Crusader at home, so I went bare :facepalm:
Couldn't open a clamshell package (Had no scissors, no knife and keys don't work well for that :ahhh) and had to use a table-knife for the lunch-break :cry:.

With a SwissChamp inside? That would be ironic...
 :D :D

Day whatever we're on, part two. Used my Classic as a staple remover, cuz I couldn't find the one at work. Tomorrow, I'm not expecting no major SAK chores outside of opening snacks at the hospital cuz I'm HAVING A DAUGHTER TOMORROW!

Congratulations I just had my second son yesterday.
The doctor wouldn't let me use my compact for anything.

No, it was a book about how to get over your anxieties, when you forget your SAK at home.
It wouldn't be the internet without people complaining.

Day whatever , as the challenge starts to drag out, it has made me really appreciate a good MT " Spirit " . The minimalist just doesn't cover my work needs and frankly cost me time and money. I'm still in for the 30 days but I'll never do this again. :)

I hear ya! Running back and forth is not getting it. Luckly I have not come across anything where I would have to a MT or Larger SAK. Plus all of the hayfields are up and the bushhogging is done. That's a big plus. But I am gonna try to stick it out. Did fail the torch challenge. I just had to have a bigger light this morning.
