Ok... I've been meaning to do a GAW for a while now. I've won a few smalls ones, and I think it's time to give back.
At one point I had several duplicate sheaths to give away, but over the months I have given almost all of them away.
Since DrBarnes (no he's not a doctor... Or maybe he's a DR of paracord...I never asked) has been so generous to me over the past few months, I figured I'd return the generosity a little bit. Instead of just giving him money, I'm going to make him work for it
.
First a back story: before I knew him, I entered into a GAW he had for a patriotic D-Guard. Well, along with the D-Guard he sent me my favorite paracord contraption ever - one of his chopping lanyards. I also think he threw in a few other things. I was so taken back by his gear, and most of all his generosity, that I offered to build him a simple website in the hopes that I, and other HOGs & knife lovers, would have a place to go to buy good quality paracord gear. Ever since that GAW, we have become friends. He has been beyond generous by proxying two of my favorite blades - the B4 and DF LE. On top of that, he has made a number of very good Kydex sheaths for me for fair prices.
The Giveaway:
There will be at least three winners in this GAW.
2 lucky winners will receive one Barnes Bands Chopping Lanyard in their choice of color(s).
If you already have a chopping lanyard setup, let me know if there's something else you'd like from Mr. Barnes.
One lucky winner will receive the following:
1 x Detachable D-Guard
1 x Chopping Lanyard
1 x Barnes Band (survival wrist band)
You can view drbarnes' gear to pick out colors on his site, which is linked in his signature here on Bladeforums.
The fun stuff:
We all know that this is a brotherhood and that many of us have been the recipient or benefactor of some serious generosity from our HOG/DOG/RAT brethren.
To enter, tell us a story about how you have been the recipient of generosity on the forums, or a story of your generosity. There's no need to name anyone else if you don't want to. Pictures are a plus, if the generosity was material, or if you'd just like to show off a picture of a secksy blade. If you prefer, a 5 page, single spaced essay on what the Bussekin brotherhood or sisterhood means to you. would be permissible...or just a few sentences. Tell us about the friends you've made, drinks you've shared, trough wars, etc.
I don't want to exclude anybody, so if you are new, or can't come up with anything, feel free to enter just by posting (pics will help!)
My lady will have full control over how the winners are chosen. It may be based on your story, she may use a random number generator to pick the number of your post, or she may just think that your Tigerhide is pretty. I've left it entirely up to her.
Good luck and send me a PM or email with any questions.
