I would make her take it back and get exactly what I want ( NOT) Good point <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

No, just standard 5 pocket Wrangler blue jeans. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> I need to take a more recent EDC pic, a lot of stuff I carry has changed…


Yeah, that was my first “contract” cell phone. Then I got the Blackjack. Now I want a BJ II or a Tilt. You can “unlock” a cell phone, and use it with ANY provider. The process varies depending on the phone, but here’s a bit of info: LG cu500 unlock prompt!

No way! Thanks bro!

I heard about that deal! I wish I had gotten one, it was a sweet deal, from Costco and your wife! Lucky dawg <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Grabbing a billy off the fire without burning yourself; pulling thorns out of your skin; Fixing your backpack frame. Fiddling with your backpacking stove (depends on the kind of stove you carry); Pulling porcupine quills out of your dog; Holding a credit-card sized diamond sharpener so you can touch your knife edge up without slicing your fingers (rest the far side on a log or such); Fiddling with your fishing reel; Grabbing an ember from the fire to light your candle lantern; Making yourself a penny stove; Jury-rigging the handle back onto your cook pot; Fiddling with your outboard motor; Filing your fingernails (I was at my mechanics while they tried to diagnose some problem. I noticed I had a torn fingernail that was sure to catch something and tear painfully. So I used the fine cut file on my Surge to smooth it out. Quoth the mechanic, “You must have really tough fingernails.”);

The longer I thought about it, the longer my list got. I don’t say I use my Leatherman all the time in the bush. I do say that when it comes in handy, it really comes in handy.

I sweet talked Rainwalker into making me special sheaths for two Leatherman tools. One for a Charge, one for a Surge. Both have room for one bit-kit, a bit extension, one or two drill bits with hex bases that fit into the bit-kit, a AAA flashlight, a fero rod, and a stick of fat lighter. If I walk out my door I have one on my belt. It’s a minor PSK in itself.

good list Implume and I agree, when you need it, "You Need It!" like the "Cork Screw!"

They've got a new deal on over Christmas. It's pretty much the same, but it's
black and I think that the blades are TiNi coated. Not sure on that, but it
sure looked like it.

Cheers

Great post Implume- you and WHICH know this stuff.How about a picture of the pants Jeff made for your rig ? I like the idea and might have to send him a PM after I see it. Bet he did a great job-Thanks <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Ordawg:

Yes he did. It looks great, holds things compactly, and rides unnoticed on my belt until I need the Leatherman.

Some people are computer illiterate. I’m computer semi-literate myself, and that’s being generous. But I’m seriously camera illiterate. I just don’t have the mindset for taking pictures. I own an antique camera (you load it with film), but I go from one end of the year to the next without taking a picture. It just never occurs to me to grab the camera. I certainly don’t have a photobucket account. So I’m not set up to post the pictures you want.

Because Jeff requested it, I did send him pictures of one Leatherman sheath, loaded and with the contents on display. (I asked a friend to take the pictures with a digital camera.) You may be able to talk him into posting them.

Now that the Pocket Wrench is available again (Lee Valley has them), I’m looking to score a few and see if I can squeeze one into each sheath. Being able to hold the bottom nut still while you tighten the top nut can be a Good Thing. If I got replacement sheaths from Jeff, I’d ask him to make room for one along with the rest of the tools.

The Pocket Wrench is available again! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> Cool!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

I carry a Pocket Wrench in several of my Multi tool pouches, Great little tool! I've got several and bought the last couple off of _Bay and I thought the Pocket Wrench was history... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> I'm really glad to hear that someone is carrying them again! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

As far as your pics of the pouch Implume... It too some searching but I found them. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />



In addition here's a pic of one of my old beat up Leatherman Surge pouches, I like to include a key ring attachment on mine. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> I've carried this one for a few years now. I need to make a new one...

Thanks, Rainwalker:

The tool on display is the Surge, with replaceable saw blades. You can use any T-shank blade. I used the wood saw blade that came with the Surge, plus one extra. And a couple of the smooth carbide saws that will cut through hardened steel, ceramic tile, and most anything else. I figured, “You never can tell when something like that will come in handy.”

The option of being able to use the different T-shank saw blades is one of the things that I really like about the Surge too. Those Carbide blades might very possibly be invaluable in certain situations. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
