Peoples, tell us how the Mini Champ has not worked for you - if at all. In terms of righteous daily living, the Mini Champ has done everything I have needed so far this month.
Day 26I found out about these Pocket Survival Tools this month. I may start carrying it starting Dec. 1st. Just not sure if I need pliers, seems I've done well so far without needing them.
Peoples, tell us how the Mini Champ has not worked for you - if at all. What other tools/toys have you needed? Over the course of this Grand Championship Glorious Challenge, I do not recall having really needed anything other than the Mini Champ. That has not stopped me from carrying other items like an Explorer Plus, Swisstool Spirit and Opinel. For me, the Mini Champ would fall short - if at all - if I needed to really get some torque on a phillips or flat screw. But that hasn't happened so far.In terms of righteous daily living, the Mini Champ has done everything I have needed so far this month.(Image removed from quote.) (Image removed from quote.)

It's finally getting colder around here.Today, it's not supposed to get up past the upper-mid 40's. Came out to grab a quick glamour shot and head back inside.
That is the reason why a MiniChamp is always in my pocket. Now, I might also have a larger SAK or my large stockman, but the first one I reach for is my MiniChamp.
day 26, nothing special

Hi Glen, I thought your Mini had an EU symbol on it. It looks like the US Dept of the Air Force? Is that what it is? Best wishes. G
Day 27 The old Scout's manual says to tie a bowline around yourself.
Prior to this challenge I wouldn't have considered the Mini Champ as my only EDC knife. I must say, I've been really impressed with everything I've been able to accomplish with it. Only once have I needed to use a big screwdriver and I was at home so I would've reached for it regardless. No failures to report though.It will definitely be part of my EDC moving forward even if I carry another SAK with me. I've become so enamored with it that I'm looking for a case that I can attach to my keys to carry it so I won't mar it any further. I'd like to do a scale swap but I'm unaware of any translucent green scales that would work on the Mini Champ and not lose the pen.
Day 26Mini Champ fixed my little girl's nail with some scissor and nail file action.
Day 26Nothing to report today. We finished decorating for Christmas but the Minichamp’s services were not required.
Day 26Looks as if the combo tool was again the only implement used today
Day 27 MiniChamp with some reading. Two knots everyone should know. Easy to learn. Got to practice a little. Get out a piece of cord and do it today. The old Scout's manual says to tie a bowline around yourself. Well you can, but it is good for any time you need a loop that won't tighten up when you put pressure on it. No slip in this knot. Good for lots of things. Mini has one at the end of its tether. That's how it gets tied to a belt loop. Two half hitches. Simple. Quick. I don't tie it exactly like they show. I would tie it to a post by passing the line around the post, then wrapping the line around one more time. Then tie the half hitches. "A round turn and two half hitches won't let you down when you need them." That's the knot on the other end of Mini's little leash. No room for the extra turn part. It would be better. Best wishes.

That’s correct. That leads me to day 27, close-up of the emblem on my MiniChamp
