Damn man, glad you're ok! Only issues I had was complete loss of smell and headaches.

Wife tested positive too. No symptoms. Kids were fine. We quarantined properly.

And yeah forgot how to post pictures. I'll download imgur I guess and see if I can figure it out.

I'm on FB... But really only post stuff about fishing, dogs, and family stuff.

It's about time for me to get a new knife... Something small. Most likely a folder. Been carrying a cheap D2 RAT model 2 for a while now. I like it... But want something nicer. But not over $200.

I keep a BK11 in my truck with my Dashi. Use the machax for larger stuff... But want a good folder to replace the RAT as my EDC.
 
Good to see ya around again man. Good to see another old timer in here besides myself and a few others, haha. Also, we need ya to make the snark threads progress faster. :D Yes, you need a new knife. We all do. :thumbsup:

Nice catch!

Fixing what my thumbs screw up gets tiresome sometimes. Ive all but stopped fixing it when i text my wife
 
I have a AAA Thrunite, can't remember the model though. Nice little light.

EDIT: It's a Ti3. I also have a little Nitefox K3.
 
I have the thrunite archer (the 2 aa version) but it has now become inconsistent. I used it for over a year every work day through crawl spaces, attics and coworkers dropping it through ductwork. Ive cleaned it thoroughly and its still lacks reliability. But for almost 2 years it worked without a hiccup.

I have a habit of buying kershaws. Preferably, the usa made knives and especially with quality steel like m390, 20cv, and m4, and my most recent the cpm-d2. Good prices plus usa made. Itll help keep you under or close to $100.

Getting close to that $200 will get you a ritter design hogue knife which ive heard good things about
 
I have a Jetbeam BA10, and Fenix LD10. Nice lights.



I mostly used them at the cabin. Sometimes I would forget to bring batteries, and do without. So, I bought an Anker Bolder LC40 rechargeable. Always have a solar panel, or power bank there, so it works out okay:



When it comes to AAA lights, I forgot I have a copper Olight 3E EOS. Not getting the camera out again. Tired of taking photos, haha.
 
Ive came close to getting a couple fenix and olight lights but always resisted. I like my headlamp so much that it makes me make more sensible decisions. Its the petzl reactik+. The brightness adjusts to its environment. And even dims when im close to something and facing something reflective.
 
I have been interested in aaa lights but wasnt sure the best way to only look at aaa. Whats your recommendation? The amount of aaa dont matter to me as we are supplied with aaa for work.

Worldwood sure didn't last long. I think he's out of forum shape. Those 4 posts wore him out. :p

Had to run to town to get my daughter a new UV light for her snake, it just went out. Then dairy Queen... Because the kids wanted milkshakes.


For flashlights... I have a few olights and fenix lights.

Still mostly use the older model fenix pd35, and an olight m2r pro warrior.


Need suggestions on a good folder? Thinking about the manix 2... Had one before and liked it... But something different would be cool too.

How's everyone been doing? Wanted to add a few pictures but couldn't figure out how to anymore LOL

Hope y'all are well! Currently in college taking an in depth 2 year Monday-Friday automotive technology and performance program, I graduate from this in the fall, then I start another program, 1 year for welding. Just as hobbies really. Staying busy. Lots of fishing and offroading between classes.

Caught Covid... A month ago... Still can't smell anything but otherwise good.

I'll see if I can figure out how to add pictures later. I still have and use my knives often. The machax gets worn out.

Hey man, long time!! Hope you have been well.

Im still fishing a bunch in between college classes, i still kayak fish, and use the bass boat... But several months ago i bought myself a little 14 foot skiff with a 15hp yamaha and i have mostly been using it. In the colder temps the reds and snooks have been coming shallow and i have been tearing them up. The little skiff can go in 3 inches of water so even in low tide i can hunt them down.

Dogs are doing great. The big boy cane corso, Lycan, got up to about 145 pounds and stands as tall as me with a head bigger than my chest LOL The little shiba Neko still thinks he is the boss... But Battle is still by far my favorite. He can trail a bleeding deer for miles and listens better than any dog i have ever had, he is a champ.

Dont do very much on forums anymore.... Or facebook either, too political, too hateful... I post occasionally on FB, but mostly just about fishing, dogs, and family trips.

Earlier today i was reading on a Chevy colorado forum, since i just got a 2021 colorado Z71, and was thinking DAMN... Where is all the camaraderie, friendships, family type vibes from the forum days i remember... Made me think of the Snark threads and i had to come visit!!

I have never caught a pike... They dont like the waters i fish in florida apparently LOL

Also have never been ice fishing. I think id like it. Sit and drink some Modelo and a few shots of whiskey while waiting on a bite... doesnt sound too bad to me.

Pretty pup there too!
