I just returned from a weekend in the town of Elk, eastern Washington, to attend my daughters wedding.
I had the opportunity to put both my Izula and RC-6 to use over the 3 days I was out there. Now please understand, I am a helpful feller, always ready to lend a hand. So when there was a problem with one of the bridesmaid's dresses needing the sewn in padding removed from the "chest" area,
I was glad to step in and offer to clip a few stitches. ( seems no one had remembered to bring scissors to the church). I had it removed in no time with the Izula, and then spent a while trimming stray threads for other bridesmaid's dresses. Izula is now wedding friendly.
Izula was used to cut the ribbon/ seran wrap/ bog roll combo that had been mysteriously wrapped around the groom's truck.
We had a lunch barbecue the day before for those travelling in as dinner was going to be late. I was prepping food, and needed to slice some bread for barbequed garlic bread, there wasn't a knife in the kitchen that would cut the Fresh crusty french bread. The kitchen knives were so dull, I finally gave up , and used the RC-6 to cut the 3 loaves up. That got some funny looks, but when the results started to show, folks relaxed. I Still don't understand why its ok to have large kitchen knives in the kitchen, Dull or otherwise, but the same sized practical knife brings the evil eye.
Had to pull out the paracord inner winding to offer up as thread , along with a needle from my PSK to use as an emergency repair on a bra clasp.
Before you ask there are no photos of the Izula work, at the request of the bridesmaids, nor of the RC-6, as its bad enough it now has a garlic odor to it, I didn't want to garlic up the camera.
I have to admit, while packing for a 350 mile trip across the Cascade's, to attend the wedding, the focus was on walking-out type survival, and not what I encountered. I am glad I survived. I have to go out and cut down a tree or two now, to get some of the testosterone back in the system.
