Dex's 1000 Post / Going Orange Giveaway. / WINNERS ANOUNCED

Nice sign TBL! I forgot to make something for the second part of the give away, unless making a fire counts. :rolleyes:
 
Nice job rkmoore! And man that is one good-looking 15 and cool looking sheath! Thanks for posting!



Mr. Worldwood............. You are about as crazy as Me......... lighting a fire inside........ on a wooden table........ covered in thin wood shavings............ with an open bottle of Bourbon just feet away!

That was awesome man........ very entertaining and I really did get a great laugh man...... Thank you sir!! And I must say you did get very creative on this one. Nicely done.
 
Hey G-Shark.......... That was awesome. Very cool fossils and teeth, Shark turds were interesting as well. Can't say I have even ever heard of those before, lol, I am guessing they are they as hard rock now? And man that 14 must really be tired after that full day of work you put it thru........... Sometimes we really don't think about how much we actually use our knives in day to day tasks............ But I'd say you used yours more than the average guy.......... Awesome!! Thanks for posting man.




TBL.......... That was one of the coolest signs I've ever seen! And man you were creative, Found a great use for the fire, and showed awesome talent! Bravo!!!
Thanks man and thank you for posting.
 
We are getting some awesome entries here.............. Keep it up guys! And Man this is going to be so hard if I have to pick one cause they are all so creative and awesome.

Im always down to sit by a fire a drink some whiskey, just say the word :D

Knives are fun for me, so i try and show them in a fun way. Of course everything requires some common sense. So once i get a little too tipsy i put the expensive ones away, that way when i chop my arm off i dont lose a high dollar knife :D Common sense of course HAHA

Also it looks like both you and Dex have better picture taking skills than me so one of you can be the designated camera man. :)
 
Well here's my backyard bushcraft style tea brewing session, with the best flavor of tea and my favorite becker for little tasks like fire prep.

Very nice DandyLion! And that's a great idea about rubbing bees wax on the jute twine........ will have to try that idea, thanks.

What kind of Earl Grey tea is that? Seems a couple pics are not working?

I started drinking some cinnamon tea my wife gets from her work, they sell it there, it is so good. They have an Earl Grey I have been wanting to try too.

Thanks, the jute and wax tinder is really effective and is rather moisture resistant (NOT WATERPROOF), The tea I was drinking id some poorer quality tea because I'm fresh out of my good tea!

I drink a very strong and sweet cinnamon tea that is my favorite for a cold day in the field, its packed of fantastic vitamins and nutrients so is refresing in both taste and chemically, however when I'm drinking for flavor I go Earl Grey every time. Caffeine has a strong opposite effect on me (calms me down a lot, one time I drank an Nos energy drink and slept for 16 hours!) so I like to drink it in the evening.
 
i just recently was on a trip with my scout troop and was in charge of the fire, here are some pictures, and sorry in advance for lack thereof

the tools-leatherman side kick, bk14, goingear ferro rod, and a peice of wetfire

Man, I find that crazy that caffeine calms you down! Haha. Guess everyone is affected differently. I know some people that take a few sips of caffeine and they start shaking and twitching.

This isnt a entry because it doesnt include a Becker, but thought some of you might enjoy this. This is my son on a fire starting project we did last year, hes got it down pat now, and does it on his own anytime we have a fire in the backyard.

Thanks for sharing TMHunt! Awesome pictures man. It's always great when kids are doing outdoor stuff, especially making fire.
 
Ok guy's and girls, I will let this go for the rest of the week and probably the weekend, So anyone who hasn't had a chance to get out and make an entry yet, you still have time.

Great job so far, and thank you to everyone who has posted pics!
 
Congrats Dex on 1K and going Orange!
Thanks for the chance at these two very generous giveaways!

For the fire making entry I used my BK16 with 710 custom SEA-HAWK!! scales.

I made some fatwood shavings, curls, and toothpicks. The plan is to start the fatwood shavings with my ferro rod inside a jute twine birds nest. Once that gets started I'll transfer the birds nest into the fire place using two long sticks. Then I'll add the curls, toothpicks, and a few small sticks that I batoned from a chunk of firewood.














As soon as the fatwood sparked, that birds nest took off like a blazing inferno! Lol!! I barely had enough time to transfer the nest to the fireplace before the jute desinigrated! :D









VICTORY!!!
(Wow...I really need to mow my grass):D







For the "make something" contest I decided to make a 'lil bow and arrow for the little princess.
She loves Disneys Brave movie so she was pretty excited.


I started with a walnut limb and the BK16 rocking sweet 710 custom SEA-HAWK! scales:





Shaved the bark:





Starting to take shape...lol:D





I strung it up with some of the decoy line Ethan gave me. It's great stuff!





It didn't shoot too good, but my daughter and I had a good time in the backyard:





Thanks for the chance Dex!
And thanks for all that you do here on the forum.
Can't wait to see your stuff now that you're orange! Congrats man!

That's awesome Jonny! Great entries man. Thank's for posting!
And that's so cool you got your little girl outdoors and spent some time with her...... Looks like she had a blast too!
 
Alright guys...... Gonna go ahead and end this one! Thank you to everyone who entered. There were some extremely awesome entries for sure. I am still trying to decide If I should judge them or random number the winners since some of you did do some amazing work.

I have been sick since last thursday and was stuck in bed for three days but I am finally up and moving around so I will try and get the winners picked in the next couple of days.
I am so far behind on stuff that I don't know when I will catch up. lol

Thank's again everyone and great job! I will update soon.
