When I was little I also put an irrigation key through my big toe thinking I was helping my dad aerate the lawn. And I once fell off a tractor and put a pitchfork through my right calf. 🤣🤣👊🏼

Also broke my wrist at recess sliding down a snow hill. And broke my tailbone falling down drunk once. (Not at the same time LOL @clinton1 🤣)

Good times. 👍🏻

Ever thought of wearing a bubble suit when you go outside? 😁
 
Was taking these pics last year for the Carothers and Guns thread while shooting a couple rifles. I balanced my DEK 1 MC on the comb of my stock when it started sliding off. I could have just let it fall on the concrete bench, but I had to be a hero and shield the blade from the table with my finger. In my head I thought I could get my hand in there in time and dampen the fall and catch it by the handle. Of course I wound up cutting myself with that fresh sharp a$$ blade, but prevented a rolled tip or edge haha 😂.

I was too embarrassed to mention it at the time of posting in that thread.

Pics deleted to try and make enough room for new ones

Been there, done that. Glad to have taught myself lock picking back when I was 13-14.

I keep a pair of Bogota Titan lock picks in my wallet, nowadays. They’re compact, are made to nest together, and depending on the lock, I’ve opened some locks with them in under 2 seconds lol.

My lock picks were in the house lol

My wife just came home and let me in.

I'm going to order some of those Bogota picks right now. I also hid a set of spare keys in a secure location outside.

Yeah, learning how to pick locks is fun.

Back then, I even learned how to pick a lot of car door locks with the screwdriver/chisel profile tool on the back of my Victorinox.

Came in particularly handy one time, when a group of us piled into a buddy’s car and headed to a remote beach. Keys wound up locked in the car, with the engine running, back before cellphones.

Even jogging/running, it would’ve probably taken ~45 - 60 minutes to get to the nearest town, which would’ve likely meant finding a rock to smash a window.

Fortunately, I did have the Victorinox in my pocket, and was able to pick the door lock quickly.
