The best way to make coffee ☕ ☕!!
Day 2
Was going through some outdoor cook stuff.  The Spirit helped with cutting up some stuff.  Then decided to make some coffee using one of my favorite micro set-ups.  Used the pliers instead of the pot lifter/handle and to lift the hot stand for putting out the alcohol burner.

*Day 3*


Used Spirit MX to slice open a piece of 'moon cake', much like leftover turkey after the Thanksgiving, there is always leftover after the mid-autumn festival.

Day 2 of 60

Today use chisel to open lots of packages at work, this tool works really well to compared to blade.

Only Tools Matters
This definitely is one of my favorite tool on Spirit, and a unique tool yet to be found on any other MT.  Also great for making shavings and feather sticks.

Sometimes I find it hard to tell whether an alcohol stove is still on during broad day light, and in that case, a pliers is definitely a preferred tool to help lift off the pot.

Day 3

The AWL is useful for many tasks that pop up around my house.
If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

M7 seems to be right one to get for Bitset & Wrench, looks perfect size for purpose.


Only Tools Matters

Here are the photos of the wrench and bit kit in the M7 Toollet as promised, along with Knipex Cobra XS and County Comm prybar.  It works great!  A SAK paired with this would make a great alternative to a plier MT.  A Farmer or Camper would be a great choice.

I'm off work for the next week so I can have more Spirit fun :ahhh. Kicked Day 3 off enlarging the vent on a portable cup of coffee.  It definitely helps!

Day 3

Saw action trimming a board. The cut would have been better had I clamped the piece, but was in a hurry and it did not need to be that accurate. Love Vic saws!

Very nice uses awl

I’ll take a Vic over a Leatherman any day.

I’m awlways happy to have an awl for this same thing!  Taking a week off for a challenge is dedication!  :rofl:

I’m likely to do the same more often than I probably realize. My parents have one of those portable fire pits that you just can’t open the door when a fires going and I’ve used the spirit numerous times on it.

Day 3

Used the spear point model today.

A bit of screwdriver work to replace smoke detectors. We had the fancy nest ones but they don’t connect anymore and it’s constant searching drains the battery. So, back to the basic ones.

And an apple snack.

Day Three

Not a lot of use today. Used the hooked blade to cut a strap which was effortless due to its sharpness. Used the awl to ream out a hole to mount a sign. 

Decided to give the supplied nylon sheath a go as I wasn't feeling it at first.

 :like:...I like the nylon sheath OK - I also like the leather, but I worry about it getting wet and nylon seems better if that is a possibility. The other version of nylon that keep the other tools are much nicer and what comes in standalone tools in both Spirit and Swiss Tool - in my opinion.

 :cheers: if I’m remembering correctly it was BP Roberts idea during the last swisschamp challenge. It’s tricky if I don’t remember to get the action shot I usually forget something.
