To earn the badge, participants are required to, each day, for 30 days, post a picture of the SAK, tape, and paperclip they are carrying,
It is still early, but there are 31 participants so let's keep the rules of the challenge in mind, while this is still at Day 2, and make it easier for me as the host and badge awarderer. :salute:


yeah I was like why are these folks saying they are carrying tape and paper clips but not including them in the pictures? saying that it's in your pack so you're not going to include it in the picture is really just making different rules for yourself to follow. lol

 it's a challenge folks we all follow the same rules and it's not that hard to include those things in the picture. so stop making it difficult for RP because he was kind enough to host this challenge so the least people can do is follow the freaking rules.

Day 1

I missed posting yesterday so starting today.  I’m going to try and stick with a Tinker for the entire challenge.  I’m just not a fan of the t handle Phillips but I’ll give it another go here. 

A 91mm Tinker I got used. It needed a little cleaning and scales are rough but implements are in nearly unused condition.

The  MacGyver MT model may switch up. I’ll be keeping the paper clip attached to my notebook and duct tape wrapped around a pen. 

I did unroll a paper clip to make two points for an im-class demo.  No tape use.

Adding the pic for day 1. Maybe I forgot to attach it last night.

DAY 3  Climber, clip and a lighter with tape and other essentials.  I think I have some more impressive paper clips at work.  If so, the company will donate one to the challenge.

The original challenge text said post a photo of AT LEAST ONE, not all of them. If that changed I did not see that in the pages of posts.

Yes that was my understanding of the challenage as well.  I want to keep with the spirit of the challenage which is why
I posted just a paperclip in use yesterday but I have no problem taking a pic of all 3 items if that is required.

Now I did it, Challenges have this affect on me!

Or, maybe OCD…

I realized from a the SAK challenge last year, my Tinker was a 84mm, and I enjoyed the size and I found some EVO designs I enjoyed and lucked out on an auction site obtaining more than one of those styles.

Well, this morning, I missed out on an exclusive CASE release, and I had an itch that needed scratching.

So, I searched for a 91mm Tinker.  Found one!  But not until I found a Super Tinker first.
Shucks, it is a mirror image of my CLIMBER, but fitted with a PHILLIPS.

So now, a TINKER 91 is in route to me as well as a SUPER TINKER, w/scissors.

Then, I start thinking, if my 84 TINKER has the PHILLIPS, did Victorinox make a 84 Spartan???  And, could I locate one.

Yes, they did!  Called the TOURIST….  But, in the U.S. they sell a version called the SPORTSMAN.  Searching…  oh my right there in the Store on Amazon it is available.

In a matter of 45 minutes, my curiosity is satisfied.  And, a portion of my bonus points will be subtracted from cc statement.  Wow!   Two to arrive maybe Friday, the third next Tuesday.

Oh, yes, one more item, SAKWIKI is checked and studied.
The Spartan was made with a SERRATED BLADE, sold in the U.S. originally as the WEEKENDER!!! Late 90s?

And then later in 2018 or more recent as the SPARTAN SERRATED. 

Damn challenges,   Now to avoid colored duct tape, and avoid office supply displays, I bet there are many, many different styles and designs of PAPERCLIPS.  :facepalm:
The influence of challenges is strong.
Look forward to seeing the new additions

Sos24 ,  :cheers:  :hatsoff:

Day 3

I found my method to make duct tape portable, a luggage tag, is rubberized, so flexible, has pocket for paper clips. And a lanyard if needed to be connected. Plus, wrapped a good 6 feet of tape onto it.

84 Tinker today as well😉

Now off to the dentist with this kit😁
If I start and end the day above ground, it is a good day!

Hope yours is as good!

Day 2

MacGyver’d open a stuck door with a paper clip and the Tinker cap lifter.  In other words, the kiddo locked his door and it got stuck after popping it back open. 

I’ve wrapped a small amount of duct tape to a paper clip and will replace as needed or as I lose it.

Day 3

Y’all… the fates are against me. I haven’t needed a SAK for anything in DAYS! I’m not doing any better with my paper clips or duct tape so far.

But here’s a picture of my stuff with an in-progress LEGO set I am working on with my 6 year old son.

Day 3

Like a lot of you, I figured I'd give the Small Tinker a spin. This refill hose needs to be replaced. In the meantime, I trimmed it so it'll be more cooperative. It's gotten stiff from age/hard water, and was too long to fit properly in the tank. Should do for a few days until I can get the new one on.

Day 3

Double O duck - 00🦆 - reporting for dooty.  Didn't get to use Clipper or the duct tape today but made use of the SAK.  Had to trim a relaxation stick (not my best work) and I had to trim a rose bush branch that kept attacking the wind chime.



May the best of your past, be the worst of your future.

Today there was no tape use but lots of tape cutting.  The Companion open a box containing Fisher’s food.  It then broke down a few other boxes. The paper clip are under the edge of the tape.
