Youv'e all read the " You know you're a redneck when....", I just thought it would be fun to come up with some relevent to us !

You know you are a W&SS member when,

You always have bare patches on your arms from testing your knives !

You always check out the twines and cord in Home-depot to see if any is worth adding to your kit !

You never leave the house without having at least 3 blades on your person, even if you are just going to fetch a take-out !

You know what the abbreviations....PSK, PJB's, WSK and BOB all mean !

You carry around a Bic lighter when you don't even smoke !

I'm sure y'all can come up with lots more !!!:D
 
many of those apply to me, but i have got myself down to just a single knife most of the time. i found that i rarely ever used more than one knife at a time, so i have convinced myself to stop carrying so many...

you know you are a WSS junkie when you buy candy just for the container it comes in...
 
Those are some damn good ones pit, especially the first two! I haven't had hair on my left arm in who knows how long. Others...

You have more firesteels than you could use in three decades.

You know who Ragnar is.

You know the tastes in steel of other forumites well enough to predict if they're going to like a blade you post.

You've ever spent the better part of a day contemplating if a scandi or convex edge is better.

You rifle through garbage and thrift stores looking for cheap pieces of kit to brag about.
 
Obvious one- Ya can't pass a tree stump without sticking your knife in it for a pic !!!
 
When You Go Into The Woods And Try To Get Lost.

You Set Out In The Rain Trying To Start A Fire

You Practice Your Fire Starting Skills In The Kitchen Sink
 
when you get smacked in the face for asking someone if they want to check out your SAK (yes it happend to me)

One of the tuffest choices in your day is figuring out what knife you're gonna take with you.

When you take a picture of a flowerless plant, just cause you have no idea what it is.
 
tony, that only happened because you say it "sack" instead of "S-A-K" ... :eek: ;)

you know you are a WSS junkie when you EDC a folding saw living in a city...
 
When you drive 100km's (or miles for you USA WS&S clan) out of town, past midnite, just to cook your donner in a new hiking stove.

You think its perfectly normal to prep dinner with an axe, hatchet, tomohawk, bushcraft knife or machete.

you think its perfectly normal to carry a full firekit in the city, and show off your firesteel lighting PJ cotton balls while at the patio cafes.

You think its perfectly normal to go out in monsoon like weather, to test gear, light fires in the woods, and look for fatwood

You find sitting in front of the TV, honing and stropping all your knives, very relaxing. Meanwhile your friends are cowering behind the couch, staring at you bugeyed and being scared crapless

You spend time at home shaving fatwood and magnesium bars into little tiny piles

You go thru tubs of Petroleum Jelly and bags of cotton balls, making endless tins of firestarters.

You find yourself using a firesteel to light your wife's candles.

You have more (and better) knives in your pockets than the knife display at Wal*Mart.

When someone asks if they can borrow a knife at work you back away because you don't want some moron severing a finger cause you just had it convexed by Sig.

Click to expand...

That's funny, I cleaned two chickens last night with my ulu and NorthStar...
 
This is too funny! I started reading to see how ridiculous it was, and then I started waiting for something that didn't apply to me :o.

Finally - I don't have a lot of noodle recipes! :D

(Didn't include Bushman5 and Dr. Mudd's posts)
 
This is a funny thread...well, at least I thought so until many of them apply to me:o

I'm always looking for small PSK containers or useful items to put into them.

You know you're a WSS member when you have more pictures of you knives and kit than your kids and family:D

When you buy the exact same knife from a maker, just 1in shorter or longer b/c you convinced yourself it could be usefull.

You know the exotic hardwoods better then the guy at the furnature store.

you have enough SHTF ammo stashed away that your house needs hazmat placards on the side

You spend hundreds of dollars on a knife to see if you can break it.

You catch mice in your house with a figure 4 deadfall.(Tonym)hehe

You can point out the mistakes in every episode of survivorman or man vs wild.

You ever drenched yourself in cold water outside when its cold just to see if your space-blanket worked.(still cant believe he did that haha)
