Yeah ... I thought about that statement, It certainly was a fools errand...  repacking all that was a waste of time.   I'll have this finished off in a week.

DAY 11

I was a bit busy yesterday (had to work at short notice) & didn't get to post my shots of the PX in action  ::)

I must say that compared to some of the uses you guys have been posting mine are a little tame  :-[

However, here's the PX liberating the "official" Vic' red paracord lanyard from it's packet for the Rescue Tool  :D
They don't like it up 'em!

:iagree: There is no food, that can't be improved upon, by the addition of bacon or cheese and preferably......BOTH  :drool:

Great uses guys!

Day 12
  I used the blade today to trim a board on the treehouse I couldn't get at with the circular saw or even the jigsaw. 
I also stopped by my mother's today to do a few jobs for her, including putting in a new smoke alarm.  Whoever installed the last one was thoughtful enough to use one Phillips and one slot screw so I was able to use both tools!

Day 13

Quick lunch break but the SAK has done some good work already. It was punching above its weight class - when that blue farmer X comes on the market I would’ve used the saw for what I did, but even so the blade did a good job. I’m attaching the railing boards to the trees in my treehouse, and a number of places the bark wasn’t flat enough so I did some trimming.

Ok. So today I was doing another Search & Rescue (Covid) thing blah, blah etc.

Although the PX came with me I deemed it unwise to take it out for photo opportunities, of which there were many along the Thames such as; HMS Belfast, Tower of London, The Shard and the Walkie Talkie building (Google it) to name but a few  :tu:

It was a beautiful sunny day here in "ol' Landaan taan"(you need to read that with a proper "Dick Van Dyke" - "Mary Poppins" accent) but, with various protest groups out and about today (making ar*es of themselves  ::) ) it didn't seem prudent to produce a blade  :ahhh

So, here's a couple of shots of the "pre - op" and "post - op" uses (sounds painful doesn't it  :think: ) whilst safe at home  :D

Stay safe all  :salute:

Day 13

Lockdown got to me and I got bored - I stopped by the local convenience store and some snacks that 10 year old me would buy, and then open with my SAK.

Of course, the Pioneer X accompanied me for the trip

So far, the scissors really are pulling their added weight.  In comparison to the Solider that I was carrying last month, this month, the SAK does get out of the pocket more frequently.

If I may ask a silly question... What does urban search and rescue do over yonder that the usual ambulance service doesn't do?

Never a silly question, ever! We get asked this alot because most people think about Mountain Rescue, Cave Rescue et-al and don't often see a need with urban areas  :dunno:

The fact is London is a vast sprawl of very open spaces (think country parks which are quite large, for the UK anyway  ::) ) with smaller towns interspersed between them and people do go missing, frequently.

Essentially, we are part of a National Organisation called "Lowland Rescue"

I've attached a link to this so as not to waffle on (any more than usual anyway  :whistle: ) and hopefully it will help you fall asleep at a time of your choosing  :rofl:
