Ok folks,

Been on this forum long enough that it's time I try and give something back.

I have five pipe tobacco tins that are up for grabs that would make excellent survival tins. Two are round in shape and have a screw-on closure. The other three are rectangular with a lid that snaps on.

The motivation for putting these up for a GAW stems from Ethan's response when he saw them at the recent Gathering. He seemed instantly impressed with the proportions of the rectangular tins as they were a bit larger (and could carry more) than conventional Altoid tins.

Now, none of these tins will fit in a knife sheath pouch, but as Ethan mentioned at the gathering, he prefers to carry the tin in a pocket or pack as there is less chance of it snagging on anything when in the field.

To win one of these tins, all you need to do is post a pic(s) of what you would carry in a survival 'tin' (which for this contest can be as big as you need) for one of these three situations:

1) Visting the in-laws.

2) Shopping with your spouse.

3) Going to a bachelor party.

Get creative!


So, here are the rules.

Only open to Beckerheads.

Winners will be chosen by me and graciously shipped out by 1066vik.

Seeing as how there are five tins, the GAW will run till the end of Oct.

List what tin you want, but I have final say as to what you get.

Here's what you can win.

And a similar tin to what Ethan got at the Gathering.

As many of these as I can fit in there:

I think that works for all three. Yup, all three. Your move.
 
Not that I will win, or that I should, or even could, but if I do, would it be possible to call dibs on the Bracken tin since I ate a piece of it at Ethan's?
 
I guess I'm not eligible as I'm not officially a beckerhead. I've not spent enough time investigating how to become one.
 
Tin as big as I want? OK...my tin is the Weber Smokey Mountain and I'll fill it with brisket and charcoal. This gets me through the in-law visits just fine, because I can sit outside and pretend like someone needs to actually watch the smoker for 12 hours.

Now we're talking. Nice entry sir.

BTW Derek. Did you really eat a piece the Bracken?
 
No Beckerhead should try surviving without this:

Well, at least, I wouldn't be able to survive without it
 
BTW Derek. Did you really eat a piece the Bracken?

Yessir, I did. I tried dipping it first though. Not so great for that. And it doesn't taste anything like jerky. Just an FYI in case you were wondering.
 
Oooooh! Don't need a tin but I'll play anyway if that's cool.

First the in-laws: Technically I would be inside my survival tin.
Knock, Knock, Beeeeyatches!!!

Then for the spouse: I mean come on, how long could she want to stay out with me sporting this classy number?

Then for the BP: I really could have used one of these on the last one.
