Since we don't already give away enough contest knives, here's a new contest. This contest will run from now until the last day of September 2008. Winner will receive a new RC-4 plain edge knife and a pink prototype Izula (no sheath).
Here's the deal: Since the RC knives are getting so much play now as primary survival knives, we want to see your best survival kit featuring an RC-3 or RC-4 knife. We will judge this contest on innovation, compact size, ease of carry, ability to provide survival priorities, "cool" factor, and just about anything else we choose to judge it on
Keep in mind that cool ideas and modifications to existing equipment (such as finding new uses for mounting stuff on the sheath, stripping out paracord for fishing line, etc.) gives you more points. But you have to demonstrate it in your photos and not just imply it. That should keep it real and not just be an implication that it will work. Knife does not have to be pristine, photos do not have to be pro. This is not a photo contest. It IS a survival thinkin' contest. Everyone can participate. That means Tony (a moderator here), Bear (who helps us in the jungle), George Bush, Barak Obama (I take that one back).
Post your photos and explanations of your kit up to this thread (do not email them to us). Enter as many times as you want. Who knows, we may take an idea or two from you and include it in a future project (with your permission of course).
This thread is going to become a working "think tank" for survival ideas. Encouragement and expanding on others ideas is fine, but do NOT criticize another posters ideas, photos, etc. since some folks are new to the survival game. In other words, if a poster includes the small clear plastic bag that the knife comes in and says it will work as a solar still and keep you hydrated, just let him have his idea even though we all know he's an idiot and is going to die should he ever need to get water in a survival situation
We will probably run this contest again depending on how this first one goes...so onward!
