Congrats to The Warrior!!

Shoot me a PM with your shipping info and I will get your prize out the door.

According to my wife, it was a collection of your quotes and reasoning that sealed the deal.

Honorable mentions go to:

When I was younger (i.e. not that long ago as I consider myself fairly new to this whole "adulthood" thing) one of my favorites was from some random girl on Myspace. "Party like your vagina is on fire." Not having said equipment, it didn't really apply to me, but it sounded like she had a good solid life plan worked out. ;)

Once I moved in with my fiancee', a switch got flipped or something, I almost went into "adult-mode" overnight. I remember waking up and having to figure out what to do for the day, and something my dad said stuck out. He told me once, at some point when he was giving some sage, fatherly advice, "Son, first you have to take care of what you need. Then you can worry about what you want." I didn't really think about it until that day, now that I was living with my fiancee' and her son, and it got me to thinking that I really should just take care of the important stuff first.

Things like getting out of debt, paying the bills before deciding whether or not to go out for dinner, etc... has kind of defined my spending habits, and done a great deal for me in the long run that wouldn't have been accomplished otherwise. Not to say it was instant success, but after our fair share of troubles, I got it sorted out, and feel much better prepared for the future. :D

Forgot to add, thanks for the giveaway! Mighty nice thing to do!

sweet deal!... ok.. my sig. line is one of them.. and this one I'll use for this offer:

"Everything will be known in the fullness of time." from a family member.. and because it is mostly true :) talking about patience and how only the expenditure of time will allow ''it'' or ''everything'' to be understood or known :D

I am in.

I am a high school teacher and this quote gets me through a lot of days when I am approaching a new to me subject.


"The secret of teaching is to appear to have known all your life what you learned this afternoon"

"Life is short. It's meant to be enjoyed. On their death bed, no one ever wishes they had worked more"

Forget where I got this, but it kind of puts it all into perspective.



Thanks to everyone for your participation!! And thanks to Ethan Becker and the whole Becker mod staff for providing a great place to talk about great tools!
This was a fun giveaway.
 
Alright! Thanks Snakedoc, very much appreciated. And a special thanks to your wife too, glad she liked my quotes. I have several quotes I've come across one way or another, and keep them on my computer, so this contest was right up my alley. Again, thank you very much, getting ready to send you my info. BTW, very much looking forward to using this. This is an awesome prize!

I hear ya. I have 3 gas backpacking stoves, a foldable twig stove, and I lost count on the Swiss alcohol burners I have. This will be a very nice stove for my collection.
