Gadgets I am Pretty Sure I Don't Need:

I accept the fact that there are actually unfortunates out there who like Hawaiian Pizza. No doubt these are the same ones I see putting catsup on hot dogs and standing around Times Square wearing wingtips, black socks and madras Bermuda shorts, staring open mouthed at their first view of buildings over 4 stories. They are different from the rest of us. They don’t fit in. They are to be pitied. I sometimes scare them by smiling at them. This often causes them to drop their Hawiian Pizza/Catsup Dogs. Then I wish them a speedy and safe trip back home. Soon.

I love ketchup on my hot dog but HATE catsup! I didn't know they could make a cat do that.

Hawaiian pizza fanf$&@ing tastic!

Jelly on my eggs and toast. Why yes, I think I shall.

Foods are made to mingle and mix prior to going in the pie hole.

Back on topic. I want a war hammer. And a trebuchet. Definite wants. Not needs.

Whistle. I have been carrying a whistle on my keyring for years and have never used it. I can't remember why I even wanted a whistle on my key ring.

Now, in the survival kit, that's another story.

The whistle on my keys gets used about once a week, but I am a school teacher. Talk about getting 220 talking HS students quite in a second, the FOX40 does its job. Just wish they were a bit cheaper. In reality my key ring is nuts but each piece has been so useful I can't begin to explain.

What's there???

One the CC aircraft keychain:
Fox40
CC screwdriver set
P38
Sliver Grippers
SAK Classic
Mini Prybar
House Keys
Key to shed
Lawnmower Key - I teach a small engines class otherwise it wouldn't be there
Truck Toolbox key

On paracord lanyard:
Truck and remote fob
UtiliKey
Fenix E05

I know it seems like a lot and at times it is, but just this week I used each gadget on my keys for something only they would work for.


There are plenty of gadgets I would love to have but don't need. As for the HI Pizza, YUCK!!!

I tease my hubby about his ti. spork. He told me one time at a campground after dark when the meal was ready he was the only one who had a spoon or fork. So everyone took turns eating. Most likely he was the only who had a knife too, but I still tease him.
 
Hmmm, Thoughts on "Tactical Gear"
Ti Stuff is pretty cool for the camping and hiking gear, but its a pain to drink coffee from. TiSticks brings up a whole different set of images. Tactical underwear, wallets and a load of other sheite is BS. Tactical Polo Shirts? WTF? Tactical shorts? Oh, and look, they have nice looking designer tactical belts to go with them, probably won't hold your pants up. Ti chopsticks are kind of cool, but a Ti folding Spork is a lot more usefull I think. Tactical Wallet? Really? Where is Gecko on this?
 
I like the hawaiian thing. I also love the BBQ chicken thing, a lot. But IMHO they are not really pizza so easy to be disappointed if you are expecting traditional pizza. Keep an open mind and think of them as a different food? Spork good, but I only have the lmf plastic ones. Chopsticks nice idea, but have to admit they defeat me too often. Have a little pry-bar, but took it off keychain as I don't use it often enough - I have too much stuff on the keychain anyway, Important to have what YOU need and what works for YOU. Time for an IPA, cheers!
Peace
Fred

i can pick off the pineapple from a hawaiian pizza...now BBQ chicken pizza, that is an abomination...either no sauce or tomato sauce; putting bbq sauce on a pizza is sick.

WRONG YOU ARE! BBQ sauce + chicken + pineapple + jalapenos..... now THAT would be a kick ass pizza! I must try it.
 
"Tactical is as tactical does" -Rambo's mom

Hawaiian pizza is a guilty pleasure but catsup (or ketchup) on a hot dog is just gross and disgusting!
 
I will add one more item to the list: “Tattoo Kits.”
Reputable suppliers will only sell to tattoo equipment to licensed, established artists. A good tattoo machine costs several hundred dollars; Tattoo Kits sell on line for as little as $50.00 and never include any sterilization equipment (an Autoclave alone – necessary for sterilization - can cost over $1000.00). No properly trained artist would use this sort of junk. The buyers of these kits up end up spreading disease, horrible looking tattoos and restrictive laws against tattooing.

Rumor has it that these same people actually also like Hawaiian Pizza, so beware of anyone with pineapple/ham/garlic/tomato breath who offers you a free tattoo………..

I got a tattoo of a Hawaiian pizza. My neighbor did it with ballpoint pen ink and a Tattoo Kit. Hells yeah! It's getting really red and oozing out this white crusty stuff. That's just my body getting used to how awesome it is.

A Pocket Grappling Hook is something I don't need, however it is something that I want for some strange reason.

Substitute bacon and more bacon for the pineapple and Canadian bacon on a Hawaiian pizza and I think you might have something.

+ 1 on both! The grappling hook: Who wouldn't like to be the one to whip out a pocket grappling hook in the grocery store and go "let me get the box of Cheerios for you M'am."? The Pizza, BACON!!!!!!!!! 'nuff said.
 
The 5.11 pants are actually great; especially if you have several things to carry but don't want to tote around a bag.
 
I have a sudden unexplained urge to have a pocket sized grappling hook on my key ring. :-)

Weekend project coming up, methinks.

Now that DOES have an interesting appeal to it! Probably a good idea to design it so that it's somehow enclosed and with the click of a button extends out and becomes ready to grapple -- otherwise, you might have a heck of a time trying to pull the keys out of the pocket :p
 
My wife and I were touring the Vatican and I got the beer at one lunch counter while she got the pizza at another. We met up at a table and started eating and I said "this is good, but what is it?" Turns out it was tuna and artichoke hearts (!). Yeah, odd, but good. So Hawaiian is not so bad. It's just ham with pineapple thrown on it.

Jalapenos yes,Pineapple no!What's the deal with paracord bracelets,are they Man Bling?

I made a couple of them that came in real handy on a recent campout. Needed the extra cordage to secure some tarps and tents in high wind. Worked out great...
 
I agree it's not a need but a want. I usually get over the craving a couple days after I buy it:
1) Any large survival knife
2) A knife that looks like a key, a gun, a dragon, a leg,...
3) Knife shoulder holsters
4) Fantasy knives
5) And mostly any knife that doesn't hold an edge
 
When i use my Tad pack with a few useful maxped pouches on it I don't think its any more or less tactical , or .. well anything, then any of my north-face day packs that i tote around the city.

is there a real problem with mall ninjas in the states? are they multiplying?

living over here it seems that because of the wars the usa are stuck in more people are going with the military fashion, and the good stuff isnt cheap enough for posers is it .

Not a big fan of any type of pizza but you should see some of the combos offered here items such as Szechuan pizza, Beijing duck pizza both offered at pizza hut.
