Title: D_T's (MTO) 30d Pioneer X Challenge - interested in joining?
Post by: Dutch_Tooler on January 09, 2018, 03:29:07 PM
Now that all who ordered one have received theirs, or are - in all probability - about to in the near future, maybe it's a nice idea to start a 30 day challenge along the lines of similar challenges in the past, mainly targeting the MTO PX but not excluding other PXes (preferably in lots of different colours :)). Who's in, and when should we start? I'm tentatively thinking of 15 January. February. (see below)

As usual, daily pictures would be due, preferably when engaged with a particular use of the PX or in a particularly photogenic setting. I think that, in view of the admittedly slightly reduced tool loadout, one should be allowed to compensate for any uses not covered by the PX by using another tool, with due explanations where that is the case. I for one plan to supplement with my Minitool and Minichamp where exceptionally necessary. I think that should be acceptable to everyone involved, and still earn you the coveted badge (right, mods?  :pok:)

Edit: date change due to other ongoing challenges

I like the idea, but there´s the Spirit challenge and the 30 diffferent SAK challenge still going on. Perhaps in February so we can all join in?

I think the original challenge was JUST the Pioneer X: https://forum.multitool.org/index.php/topic,70100.0.html but only 3 people have been awarded the badge, and two of those seemed to have other tools along for the ride.  So perhaps to ensure as many people as can get the badge possible, supplementing the X with another tool is OK.

if nothing serious gets on the way,
I'll proudly carry the PX that Nix gifted me for this challenge,   :tu:
but given the fact that my common uses are more in the Multitool side of things,
I'll carry my other MT.Org engraved tool, that is, the Rebar,

(https://i.imgur.com/wnItZYZ.jpg)

and use it if real need arises,
having the Pioneer as the maon and preferable option for every task   :salute:

Good to go?  ;)

I loved the 30-day PX challenge. What a great SAK!  :viking:

If I weren't in the 111mm 30-day challenge now, I'd join you guys for sure! As it is I'll follow along and be rooting for you all.

Just a heads-up on this challenge... T minus 1 week, and counting.

Prepare your PXes, all! The start is planned for 15th February.

I'll open a dedicated thread the day before.

Post by: ThePeacent on February 08, 2018, 12:13:04 PM
Ready!
I guess if I'm allowed the Rebar I'll carry both tools in the same sheath for convenience,  :salute:

(https://i.imgur.com/Cs5oF5o.jpg)

The Rebar and Pioneer X instead of Spirit, Pen, and the Wrench will go out (that's be just too much for the challenge) and be swapped by a lighter

(https://i.imgur.com/W9ca8LC.jpg)

this gives you almost everything you could need in a compact and portable sheath kit for your belt  :tu:

Alright Guys go ahead and count me in.
 I'll drop the BYSAK from my carry and use the PX instead.  I'll even try to remember not to go for the Swisstool for any implements that are on the PX. :twak: :twak:  AND I PROMISE to tell the TRUTH if I catch myself forgetting (cheating). :whistle:

I forgot about agreeing to this and am currently in the 111mm challenge. Hmmm, I do miss my PX. I might just drop out of the 111mm challenge.

I´d like to participate and continue the 111mm challenge as well. None of my 111mm have scissors so I´m carrying a PX or Compact anyway.
I´ll pair up the PX with the +B Carver SW, adding saw, serrated blade, and pruning blade.

If not, we could do the PX challenge Feb 15 -- Mar 16 and restart the 111mm challenge Mar 17 -- Apr 16 and still finish before the GAW deadline.

Don't forget February is a short month so you would need to go through March 17th  with the PX to make 30 days.

I guess I wasn´t fully awake yet.

PX 14 days in February (15 -- 28) and 16 days in March (1 -- 16) make 30.
Then 111mm 15 days in March (17 -- 31) and 15 in April (1 -- 15) to make 30 again and finish 1 day early.
