Hi All,
I just received a package in the mail from myright, containing an awesome 'A bag', from his 1462 Post giveaway challenge. It's destined to be used as my stow bag for canoe trips this spring / summer. Thanks again for the excellent giveaway myright!
In the spirit of paying it forward, I've decided to hold a 500 post giveaway.
The giveaway contest will end on Fri, Dec. 5, at which point I'll be announcing the winner. W&SS regulars are the intended participants, but I certainly won't be disqualifying anyone for a low post count (seeing that it has taken me four years to close in on 500 posts ...). North American participants only (sorry - can't afford overseas shipping right now!).
To participate: post a picture you have taken during a wilderness outing that fits the theme "inclement weather" (along with a short description). Could be a view from your shelter during a deluge. Could be a shot of some ominous clouds rolling in. Could be from that time you opted to hunker down and ride out the hurricane. Or that "fall" trip that became an impromptu winter camping experience.
As always, extra photos with knife content are most welcome!
Up for grabs is a CRKT Hammond A.B.C. "Operator's Model". Don't let the tacti-cool name fool you (but feel free to ridicule it) - it's actually a decent knife for kayaking, canoeing, diving, and general rough use. The sheath is adjustable. It would make a good addition to a BOB or watersport kit.
I think it's also an example of the polar opposite of the general consensus that emerged in the 'biggest knife turn-ons' thread. It has finger grooves (top and bottom!), a black coating, serrated back, tanto-ish point, a zytel sheath, and nothing even remotely resembling a scandi grind!
Looking forward to the photos! I'll get things started.
This is a shot taken from my canoe (BC interior), in that magical two minutes between when everything went still and when all hell broke loose. Great storm.
All the best,
- Mike
