The "Hood Rig" a very handy set of tools...

I gots me a Korean friend, yeah? So, we're talking about Echanis last night and I says to her I says, "Any truth that there were...like...Korean Ninjers? I mean, I gots me this book and it say they are called 'Sulsa.'"

Sol, that's her name, she says to me she says, "There are no Ls, Ls are Rs so it would be sarsah, that's how you say it and it means diarreah. There are no ancient Korean Ninja unless they were called the squirts."

True story.

Now I tell you this story only because I have to warn you that your Nipponese Ninjer powers that you may or may not still possess will not help you in a confrontation with a...well, with an ass.

She is a trip! That is a 100% true story. She taught me another word last night, this one American Slang I have not heard. "Sharting." Farting and slipping...we should say.

LOL! I thought it was your creative mind at work! Amazing what ninjers can doo (doo). "Sharting" was used in a movie with Phillip Seymour Hoffman...forgot the title.

Fun with a Chainsaw File. About 25 strokes with that file and voila! A nice notch for kicking out more sparks off of a ferro rod and saving the primary edge of the knife even more.

Neat idea Don. I also like the double sticky friction tape.

Just a couple thoughts..

1-anyone come up with a way to couple this idea with "neck wallets" for more efficiency? http://www.ebags.com/wallets/travel_wallets/neck_wallets/category_search/index.cfm?N=20010359

2-Recently became aware of magnetic clasps for necklaces and other jewelry,seems like it would be good idea to incorporate to improve safety of carrying something around your neck.

Thank you. I wanted to try it out about two years ago and my Brother did a couple of them on little 70s cheapo Trim Trio keychain knives, which worked out very well. So, I bought a chainsaw file and did this one myself.

The tape is 3M Brand and the only place I have been able to find it is at boating stores, they put it on portions of the deck and stairs. It's not as abrasive as skateboard tape.

Surely! I bought a Samsonite Brand "Travel Wallet" about a month ago at Office Depot and it carries well in it along with some other stuff.

But this rig itself is not designed to be worn around the neck, that's not a loop of cord. I don't like a lot of stuff banging around my neck. The wallet idea will work, though.

That is a good idea when it comes to safety but any magnet strong enough to be secure against loss might very well ruin a compass that comes in contact with it.
