Okay, this is a fun give away. No particular reason, other than when KGD establishes a give away he usually gives away something cheap
. No difference on this thread. Its cheap, but I like it and it needs a new little home. Here is the prize:
A little Buck Diamond back guide. Great little blade that is as sharp as any in my collection. Rubber handle removed and double paracord wrapped. There is a bit of excess krazy glue on the end, but this is a comfy little knife. Great little back-up blade to throw in the tackle box or hunting bag and forget its there. It'll be a little trooper when called to duty.
So here is the contest. It is called the TRIFECTA OF MANLINESS. Think about those Dosequis commercials, the manliest manly of men. In order to win the prize of truly manly, you need to do and demonstrate three things.
1) You need to kill your meal. This can be hunting a squirrel, killing a deer or fishing a fish. But it needs to be you who done the kill'n. We need a photo of your kill.. Not limited to the three example. If grasshoppers is your kill, so be it!
2) You need to cook your meal. Oh, but there is a hitch. A manly man doesn't use ovens. A manly man doesn't use matches and lighters. A trifecta of manliness man doesn't even use a firesteel. A trifecta of manliness man uses EITHER Flint & Steel or Bow Drill to start his fire. He then cooks his meal on his fire. Manly men are allowed to use a grill to facilitate their manly cooking. Don't forget to get a shot of your glowing charcloth or your coal.
3) The Trifecta of manliness cooks his meal and eats it too. Last picture is your meal on a plate. Presentation is part of the manliness exercise. I don't want to see a mountain of vegetables and a dollop of meat. I want to see a pile of meat, charred to goodness. Last picture is your plate, ready for eating
So who is in? Who among you is going to claim the title of TRIFECTA OF MANLINESS and "Be it resolved that the winner of this giveaway contest can self-identify themselves with honour and widely acclaimed acceptance in the W&SS community, the Manliman Trifecta Winner and freely use such earned and esteemed title in their signature"
I will let the contest go for awhile. I know, I'm asking a lot more than a random number. First five entries with the trifecta of shots and I will pull a random number.
Special Note - to cheat with out of sequence photos on the trifecta of manliness title will undoubtedly lead to gonadal shrinkage and premature trigger difficulties. This serious medical condition should be avoided by following the rules with honesty and integrity. Afterall, the title of TRIFECTA OF MANLIMANESS only comes from honest and earnest applications. It is afterall an atribute of a true manly man.
Final note. Should a female like to enter and ultimately win this manliman of men contest, she will have full bragging rights to the title. She can either use the original sig line or replace her sig line with 'I won the Trifecta of Manliman contest on Bladeforums, apparently there are no real men here'. To make matters a little more interesting, I'm going to coach my most girly of girlygirls wife into competing. You don't want to lose this title to my wife. She will surely lord it over you!.
Last bit of business. The Trifecta of Manliman needs to show off their title in their sig line. If you don't have the appropriate membership, I will upgrade yours to the lowest membership that will allow a sig-line to be entered.
Lets see who becomes the Trifecta of Manliman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
