You know you are a W&SS member when.....!

....when you put on enough gear for an African safari just to walk in your local park. :D
 
When the first thing you do from your long tiring outing in the outdoors is upload your pics.


Here's one I hope I'm not alone on.

When your wife is jealous of the computer.
 
You buy an extra package of paracord specifically to make lanyards with.

You have a monthly ritual that involves adding bleach to your 23L stash of drinking water.

When you want to measure the length of something, you pull out your knife because you know the exact length of the blade and the exact overall length.

You make notches in sticks for no apparent reason.

You clean out the dryer lint and save it in a ziplock bag.

You ask your kids to take back a couple of extra straws for you the next time they go out to eat fast food.

Your shoelaces are made of 550 paracord.

You just don't feel right if you don't have a belt, also the inside of your belt is a bit frayed up because at some point you tested every one of your belts for its possible use as a strop.

You will throw a small stove in your daypack to make a hot drink instead of simply taking a thermos along.

Somebody tells you they are starving to death because they haven't eaten in several hours and you retort that your body can last several weeks without eating, stop complaining.

You've picked up balls of deer poop so that you can show them to somebody. Also, when you see deer poop the idea 'photo composition' pops into your head.

You have a folding saw and a fishing kit in the bag that you take to work.
 
Complete each sentence with ".....you might be a WSS freak.":

If you have to sleep on the sofa because your wife is afraid she might roll over on your Hell Razor.....

If you cut your lips off with a scandi while trying to shave.....

If your piggyback sheath has a piggyback.....

If you section king crab legs with a Gransfors Bruks.....

If it takes 30 minutes to decide which Busse you want to wear while watching "Deliverance" on the new HD TV.....

If there's a SAK beside your recliner, by your computer, in the medicine cabinet, on the nightstand, in your pocket, and in the dryer.....

Cheers, :p

You head out into the woods with the absolute minimum, but the digital camera is a must.

You can afford a high-end, one man, ultralight tent but prefer to use a $5 tarp.

You sleep under a $5 tarp but carry a $400 Busse.

John Weisman, Nessmuk and Kephart are celebrities as far as you are concerned.

You'd rather spend a week in the bush with Les Stroud than a week in Hawaii at a 4 star resort.

You expect people to know what you're talking about when you tell them you got a new GB, JK, DP, NWA, RD, or MM.

You can pick Maisy out of a lineup.
 
When you tell someone you have a Breeden EDC and they respond; "have you ever considered adoption"

Edit, I guess that just means I live in suburban hell.
 
When you plan your meals around blades you wanna test...........

when you have more knives in your dressor then clothes...........

When you would rather drive then fly b/c you cant be apart from your knife that long.....

When you almost make mustard gas trying to crate the "perfect" patina formula.....
 
When you have a dozen or so 35mm film canisters but not a 35mm camera.

When you ransack your wife's make up drawer looking for different ways to store PJCB's etc.

When your wife says, "can you carve the turkey"; and you get a big sh!t eating grin.
 
You know your a W&SS Freak
when you carry a certain fixed blade around town because you feel that you have been neglecting it.
when you are known as that wilderness guy by most of your friends
 
Your a single male and you buy tampons for your kit....

You actually considered buying the lot of 300 mini-tobasco bottles from the website because that would make 300 cool oil lamp gifts.

If you look closely, you can find wood chips in your living room carpet.

The spyderco sharpmaker spends most its time already set up on your coffee table, with the white rods in the 30o slots. Also you keep a bottle of comet and a green scrubby at your kitchen sink in order to clean your sharpmaker.

Despite having a plethora of packsacks, you feel an urge to get something with molle webbing.

You hang your potted plant with a piece of paracord. You make a point of tying a bowline for the loop.
 
You don't have a girlfriend because you spend all your extra time outdoors or working with your gear. Girls avoid you anyway because they all think you're a serial killer because you have so many guns and knives.

Try to wait for atleast the 2nd date to show them your collection.

and when you tell them you like Breeden, say it slowly an emphasize the en so it doesn't sound like ing.;):D
 
oh and 1 last word of advice Rocketbomb. If they ask why your hand is in your pocket, don't tell them you wanted to make sure your SAK was still there.
 
Dear god.Never has "All of the above" applied to me as much as this thread does.
j williams,I can do you one better.I have a handmade redwood locking chest for my knives but I still keep my clothes in the suitcase I had when I moved here 5 years ago.
