I think I'm free, so let's do this!!
Does the Wenger Ranger series count? Go big or go home!
Apologies, guys, looks as if I am late to my own party.
Timestamp on the left coast still says October 1st!So are you okay with the Outdoorsman substitute along with the Master Craftsman? It's essentially the same tool loading as an early Ranger, just different blades as I outline above....Day 1 uses were only mail call duty with the small blade and scissors to open two bags/pouches in the kitchen.
Great start, folks!Simon, just a very friendly suggestion--please do communicate with moderators to make sure the challenge meet the minimum number of people to request a badge to be designed, and whether different tools can be used in a tool-specific challenge(or can different challenges be running parallel in the same thread?). Just in case it didn't, I hope the badge can still be awarded back to you guys, if another group attempt the challenge in some later time.
Kamakiri, I understand your motives and the Master Craftsman is fine by me, but in my opinion the Outdoorsman does not qualify for this challenge as it bends its frame just a tad too much. Hope that is ok with you.
Apologies to everyone for not properly organizing/registering this challenge, I admit I did not know about all this. I just wanted to try out the Ranger for a month as an EDC together with other interested parties and share our experiences. However, I don't want to deprave the participants from a badge, of course. Can I do anything to still properly register the challenge and if so, how and with whom?
Works ok for me Simon, but leads me to one more question...Is the 84mm Master Craftsman (Hoffritz 'EXPLORER' 11037) okay to work into the mix? It is the same tool load as the 91mm versions, just smaller.No worries. It's not really explained very well what to do to for either starting a challenge or getting a new badge approved.
Day 1: My horse in this race! 🏇
Day 2After my hasty start into the challenge I would now like to present my lone Ranger for this month. Not particularly exciting, I am afraid. Just swapped the standard scales for plus scales to expand the impressive tool set even further. That said, a Ranger doesn't need fancy scales to shine; it's quite brilliant as is.Today was a slow day for the Ranger, just some short blade work - meaning I have used two different tools so far - to bust a friend out of prison, A-Team style.
