Thanks Demel.Oh, by the way, I also picked up two of these belt pouches. ($6) One's for my brother for Christmas.(Image removed from quote.)For those times when I want to carry more than just an MT, but not quite to the point of carrying a full-on tool belt or toolbox.Haven't tried it yet. I'll report back when I do.
(Inspired by Crow's Nest) This'll be my blog thread.I feel like I don't have enough to say to start new threads all the time, but I'll put MT, SAK, and tool-related stuff here that is more on the personal side.***********Yesterday was my son's Court of Honor, he officially made Scout rank. (had to memorize the Scout Oath, Pledge, Motto, demonstrate a square knot, describe the meaning behind the Boy Scout symbol, learn the scout salute, handshake, and sign.Once again, he was a minor hero with his Swisschamp on his belt. I had brought my Sportsman (a simple 2 layer SAK) thinking I wouldn't need anything really. But he "saved the day" with his scissors, de-tagging his scout scarf and pen, to fill out a permission slip for the camp out this weekend.I've stopped buying MTs and SAKs for the time being. I'm going out to CA this weekend to visit my sister's family again, and will see if TSA will let me through with a bladeless Wenger Esquire. (has a flat micro screwdriver instead of the blade) The scissors are pointy, so it is kind of risky. I figure I'll bury it in my carry-on, rather than trying to pocket carry it, and that will increase my odds. Maybe I'll bring a self-addressed stamped envelope, in case they decide to be difficult. My son's first scout campout is this weekend. I'm sad I won't make it. We need to buy a sleeping bag and maybe a tent before Friday afternoon. (the scout Troop has some tents, but I don't know if we can count on that...) The campout theme is Wilderness survival. I think I'll lend him my Bushcraft book. (which someone here recommended one time) Maybe he'll build a snare with his Swisschamp.
The tyvek is so loud tho Comis, dont you think?
Wow great start to what's an awesome blog.
Congratulations to your son as well, coming from an Eagle Scout, I still remember my scout rank court of honor!! As he camped yet?
