Well I wouldn't call my story cool but I was definitely impressed by my Small Insingo quite a bit more than I normally am while hunting a few years ago.
I forgot my fixed blade at camp, first time ever, but had my trusty Insingo in my pocket as I always do cause if my pants are on I have my knife ;D
I was hunting with my Brother in law, was out further than I should've been in an unknown area by myself and a good storm blew in. I found myself deep in the snow with a lot more coming down and the wind was now blowing hard making it feel much colder than when I set out for the day.
I decided to hunker down and build a quick shelter to weather the storm, I had enough clothes on and I was really concerned about getting turned around and lost due to the storm. I found a good pine tree to nestle up under and reached for my non existent fixed blade-DOH! Wrestled my Insingo out of the layers of clothes and started push cutting through 1/2 pine boughs with ease, it cut like a laser beam, thank God. I used the lanyard to lengthen my grip and chopped up some hard wood branches to reinforce my roof, trimmed the pine, put it all together and made it through thanks to my most favorite knife, I was even pretty cozy thanks to my Small Insingo.
I made it back to camp late that night and had a Guinness, turned out to be just another day in the woods thanks to some sweet steel, I never leave home without my CRK edc and I never will! That knife may very well have saved my life after I made the mistake of not taking my fixed blade with me while out in unknown country and not checking the weather before leaving for camp. Now the smart phone can check the weather, the rest is up to me and I won't forget my lesson, or my Insingo.
