well, march is right around the corner and to celebrate my 1-yr anniversary (i don't like the 1k post, etc. milestones since i value long term site support/contribution rather than post whoring) here's my beckerheads only giveaway.

rules are simple:
1. post your beckerhead # in the post itself.
2. post any outdoors pics and i don't mean backyard pics. get off the couch and go for a hike...demonstrating wilderness/hunting skills with your becker/s is a big plus!
3. you can post as often as you like.
4. continental u.s. only unless you're willing to pay for the extra shipping.
5. i'll pick a winner based on my mood so i can close it at any time.
6. [insert standard lawyer disclaimers, rules-of-war, geneva convention, etc. here]

what's the giveaway? a becker necker with black micarta scales. i'm looking to do the same giveaway on the w&ss and esee forums with other knives/stuff but if you guys make an honest effort (i honestly just want to see more of my fellow beckerheads post hiking/survival skills pics with their beckers - i'm sick of "what knife should i get next?/how do i remove the dust that's collected on the blade/does this knife make me look fat?" posts) i might just skip them and pick 3 winners here (knife/gold membership/etc., or even my awesome signature :p, prizes). i'll let it run for a few weeks to give you guys time...go!

edit: added more prizes.
1st place: becker necker with black micarta scales.
2nd place: gold membership.
3rd place: u.s. made bk-13/remora.

Nice of you. Heck yeah, I'll play.

Beckerhead #42 here and I like posting pictures! I guess, given my lifestyle, this will be 'various Beckers go hunting'. Lets go largest to smallest...

I've adopted the BK9 as my primary hunting big knife. It's good with wood, decent with brush and should be adequate for fending off rampaging Sasquatches.

Posing and prepping snacks...

My middle knife and probably my favorite is the BK2. That's been hunting with me more than the BK9 - I've had it longer.

Hiking stick prep (on a deer scouting trip)...

Action photo - can you spot it in the shadow of my belly?...

Random superfluous chopping to stave off boredom on a slow hunting day...

Beginning to turn a limb into a fork (same day as the random chopping) for the Feb challenge...

i'm sick of "what knife should i get next?/how do i remove the dust that's collected on the blade/does this knife make me look fat?" posts)

right on Jay !!! way to go !!! I specifically liked the 'bold' line, couldn't stop laughing for a while.. :thumbup::D

oh and I think we're on the same page with all you've said, people come and go here many do not last a year, but have posted years worth..

I will post up some fresh pics when I get out there, its been a few weeks for me now to be honest so this will hopefully encourage me..

thanks for the chance..
 
Hey JV.....

What a decent and generous thing to do.....I am quite (uncharachteristically) speechless......

THANK YOU !!!!!.......

All Best.....

i've experienced the same generosity from others here, the latest including moose's patrol machete pass-around. nothing unusual, i'm just paying it forward and giving thanks to a bunch of people that have given me a great deal of useful info :thumbup:

This is really nice of you J. Give me a week and I'll see what I can do. Love this place.

Get one! The complementary gold satin "survival" jacket is damn fine, too.

Now I've gotta get to the trails and bring a camera. Thanks for the challenge, JV3
 
JV3, do you have any idea when you are going to end this?

i'll end it no later than march 31st or when i run out of money to pay for shipping the stuff because i spent all my money on hookers and blow...whichever comes first :p
 
Very cool of you!
Beckerhead #12

Haven't been able to get out since this pic was taken. Soon as my Bronchitis clears up I'll be out again.

I will post a picture by the end of this week as long as I am a Beckerhead by then. I requested it, I am waiting upon approval
