as i had today off, i was putttering around and i notice, again, my kukri, with out its belt attachment and small knive and karda. feeling creative today i thought lets get it back in action. i gave myself one day, no power from the house(cordless ok)and i could only use what i had. i was thinking that this would be like if things are going funny outside, i had to hole up for a day or two. my personally, would be checking things and low and behold, i see something i want to bring with me and it needs some love before it is going anywhere.
Sarcrificed item
1.leather belt
2.wool sock
3.tupperware container
4.bladder off of my goose
5.alunimun arrow
Supplies used.
1.extra heavy duty waxed thread
2.heavy duty waxed thread
3.bagpipe hemp thread
4.ballistic nylon thread
5.3 18'' pieces of surgical tube
6.beer bottle cap
7.small mortitions needle
8.swedish fire steel
9.small laminated steel frosts mora
10.para cord
11.hot glue
12.garbage bag ties
13fletch tite
14.key chain ring
to start, the mini mag light. it has good batteries, with a beer bottle cap on top to protect and seal off the lense. held on with a dab of hot glue. a wingspan worth of ballistic nylon, tailed hot glued on top, the rest wrapped below the car, prethreaded onto the mortitions needle, which fit s almost perfectly around the flashlight. i braided the surgical tube wrapped it over the end and whipped it onto the flash light. i lashed it onto the sheath, as this will only be used in an emergency, four cuts and it falls off, and stays contained.
my fire steel is attached using the garbage bag ties, which are whipped and fletch tited onto the belt to keep them from falling off.
the small knife was originally going to get a carved rubber sheath, but it was a little dangerous working the rubber, and treating this as a survival situation, did not want to hurt myself. if i cut up the new belts my gf fot my, i would not survive either, so , the leaky goose got cooked. i put some time into the sheath, five layers with the knive outline cut out of the center one. i made a 'canoe' with no tail, flethc tited the threads, then sealed the inside with hot glue. i stitched the bottom and front, tucked the knive inside and stitched the top. i also whipped the stress points on the sheath as well, and lashed it to the harness using holes in the belt.
i made a pouch for the aluminum handles and the bow string on the back, and whipped it on.
to spread the weight out, i used the bottom of the tupperware container and ran my leg strap through for comfort.
it is not the prettiest thing, but, it is what i came up with, it would have brought a tool back into order, and it would have gave me time to see what is happening out there.
Now, do you have something that needs some love, something you might want to bring with you. one day, only use what you have in the house and no power(cordless ok).
i will put up pictures once they are downloaded
