ONE advantage to a full-size SAK

[VictorLouis]

I've taken to cutting open my peanut butter jars, and salad-dressing bottles to get the last servings out of them. My four-layer Explorer is a firm, secure grip when using the spey blade for that job. Today, I tried using my little Pocket Pal spey for that, and several times, I thought I may lose control and hurt myself.
Like trying to use a brass tack-hammer with 2" nails on a 2x4 lumber project.

The right tool for the right job

Just get a longer butter knife....

Or plastc spatula/ bowl scraper. Cost is one dollar.

A small spatula, through the tiny neck of the little bottle, isn't going to get much. Butter knife is useless for the task. Besides, it's a good
excuse to use my SAK, right?

^^ This. I've taken to opening milk bags (it's a Canadian thing, apparently.) with whatever is in my pocket, even if it's a 4" 'tactical' folder rather than grab scissors from the drawer

Yea that's the first I have heard of a milk bag. Is that how all your milk is sold? Does the bag come in anything?

We usually buy it in the Carton or Plastic gallon like these.

Heh, I didn't mean to draw this off-topic, but 3 of the bags that fit in a jug come in one larger bag you carry out of the store. These only come in the one size, 4 litres (roughly a gallon).

We also have cartons just like you do for the smaller sizes, and some convenience/corner stores sell the jugs like you have as well.

Thanks for the info. Very interesting.

LOL, now I would like some clarification. Is each ONE of those individual bags 4litre, So that the big bag is 12l?

Above is what we have out here in western Canada.





My full size SAK used for opening a few tins on a river bank recently.

Beans, yum. What's in your kit between the axe-head and the beans, SIr?

I used Birch bark to start my tinder. The stove is a Titanium Emberlit, great unit. It fits flat as a pancake after disassembly, and goes into the black pouch with the orange tape on it. I have fancy axes but the inexpensive and light weight little Fiskars hatchet is a handy and fun tool.

 

[VictorLouis]

Neat. Thanks.
