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