Went camping this past week and while wandering around the river's edge I found a great condition Leatherman Charge and a useable pack of matches sitting on a rock. I can't fathom why someone would leave a perfectly good pack of matches lying around but I am sure they'll be sorry next time they need a fire. Theuy'll probably miss that nice Leatherman tool too :D
 
I lost a nice Microtech LUDT once when I loaned it to my friend to cut an apple while backpacking and she sat it on my pack instead of giving it back to me:rolleyes:

Now anytime I stop on the trail I always say "OK now everybody look around did we leave anything???"


This saved me from losing a nessmuk. I had used it to cut up lunch and then washed it off and sat it on a rock to dry. Luckily as I went thru all my checklist as I was walking away I realized it.
 
Five minutes later, the guy stumbles out of the woods where he was taking a dump and finds his knife and firestarter missing. :D
 
haha...:D

that is a score bill...:thumbup: i seem to always find stuff while out in the woods...
 
That's how camping tools and work tools are lost. Never leave a camp site or job site without double checking that nothing has been left laying on a rock or in the corner of a closet.

I'll tell you what, I've learned my lesson the hard way.

Good score for you though!
 
Brian, sorry but finders keepers :D Maybe if you lost a knockoff tool..........maybe.
 
I found a kinda beat up Sog at work where there had been alot of construction workers/electricians working. Of course everybody lost a knife when asked but nobody could describe it. Then after 2 days one of them was able to describe it and got it back.
 
I've lost a several pocket knives over the uses including 2 spyderco delica's, 1 wave and countless SAKs. One of the reasons I like a fixed blade and sheath carry on belt. I always am sure to stick the knife where it belongs.
