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:

Good call  :tu:

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:

https://www.londonsar.com/   :tu:

Will read this later, thanks for the link  :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.

Good to see that you are liking the PX, and are using it frequently  :like:

Nice  :cheers:

What did you bring for the sandwiches?

I have a fond memory of a hike that I went on.  A friend and I bought bread, cheese, and apples.... all by the side of the road at different places on a trip.  The bread and cheese were homemade (I guess).  At the top of the hike, we stopped and made cheese and apple sandwiches.   :drool:  Quite unplanned, and quite delicious.

Sounds delicious!  :drool:

We had PB, eggs, salami, turkey breast, pistachios, carrots and bananas. Not all on one sandwich of course  :D

I like how quickly this became "your" treehouse :rofl: :cheers:
:cheers:  The PX got some good use today, after lunch I did some more tree-trimming.  I did have to use the jigsaw a couple of times, I ran into a couple of branch stumps (is there a name for those?) that were too thick to cut through.  Don't worry tree lovers, I didn't cut down any functioning branches.  They were all down low where they don't get any sunlight so they didn't have any needles on them.  Afterwards I used it to open a cold one.  I would've used it to open the pizza I made but it still had sap on it and I didn't think Mrs. Tet would approve. :angel:

A bonus pic, of the finished lower level, the SAK is pretty small. For some reason I said I’d make an upper level, but I need to take a break for awhile!

Nice uses Tet. One thing I dislike about, and sure I'm not the only one, with messing around in Pine trees, the sap. :cheers:

Thanks mate! I'm happy with it, especially since I don't know what I'm doing!  Although I'm wishing now I hadn't cheaped out and got the pressure treated 2x4's and 2x6's to match the brown.

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

I was going to ask the same, I'm glad you did!

That's sounds like some great work you're doing Surge.  I liked the pre- and post-op photos!

My coworker used to live in Dillon. He moved back to CO recently, now in Vail. I need to get myself that way. Probably should sell the house and my belongings beforehand :rofl:

By the by, these are incredible photos.  You should take SAK photos with more background more often.  Just do me a solid... If you're ever taking them in your back yard, please be careful to avoid having your feet in the background.   :dwts:
