We need to come up with more extreme contests

I imagine one of the small gigs will fit in an Altoids tin, no? A gig is a great survival tool in wet locations. We use them a lot in SA.
 
I would like to participate in this contest! What about having to video tape (not just take pics) the adventure and sending the memory cards or video to you Jeff. I cant upload pics on my computer, I only cut and paste off the Internet. Its not like the contestants can come home at night and upload their entries, correct?
 
Video doesn't work for print magazines. We need high-res pics. You can send me the memory cards with your pics and I can download them and send the cards back.

No problem with the monthly drawings and regular contests, but building a shelter on a day-trip or taking a picture of pristine RAT knives is getting kinda old and boring, don't you think?

I envision someone taking a RAT knife (or someone else's knife) and a pocket survival kit (and I do mean "pocket") into the wilds for 3 days with nothing else except the clothes on their back and seeing what they can come up with as far as surviving, or not :D Of course they would have to take a camera and keep a journal, and we would have to take them on their word that they're playing by the rules. In fact, we would have to come up with the rules before we start this RAT Tough Man competition.

My point is everyone always talks about "survival" but they end up taking everything but the kitchen sink with them when they're playing with their knives.

Feel free to offer any other contest ideas that would be a more extreme than what we've been doing. I'm sure we can come up with a lot of good prizes for a new contest. I would even be willing to interview the winner for an upcoming story in one of the magazines.

I'll give a HEST knife for one of the prizes.
 
Did somebody say, "Altoids tin"?

Any Altoids tin? :)

Presenting my hip-pocket "Love Tin" PSK:

You can put me on the list for a 3 day survival trip, but I say we must use an altoids mini tin. As for an animal name, I like squirrel nuts.

Monsterdog, Sorry but there is no way we would run a real survival contest and let people go home every night to their own bed, a camper or even a sleeping bag. Sorry, dude.

'Course not, sadly I don't even need my own bed, but do need a 110v power outlet to sleep (or 12v from a car/truck) and some sort of dryness. It sucks, but nothing can be done about it. As I said, will love to see the outcome of a contest like this in any case and wish I could do something like this :thumbup:
 
So is any1 going to make this official or is this still just in the talk phase?
 
Oh, it IS official. And many thanks to Dale at The Knife Connection for being one of the sponsors! http://www.the-knife-connection.com/

Looks like the winner of this thing will get a lot of cool gear!

So far we are giving away:

1) HEST from The Knife Connection
2) Comprehensive Survival Kit with RC6 knife
3) RAT Advanced E&E Pocket Kit
4) We will also throw in a new RAT Fire Kit

If we get any more prizes going then we will have more than one winning positions. Maybe 1st, 2nd 3rd?
