A father and son doing a rough job.....And smiling the whole way.Thanks for coming out and I'd love to hear the whole story over a beer sometime. Originally shared by ネウソメMarty My son and I defended the Andy Gump statue in Lake Geneva during the #freemisty portal anomaly. One thousand miles traveled. One thousand dollars spent. One thousand resonators and shields used. We met some really nice people, seen a lot of familiar faces, and had a good time getting lost in Milwaukee. There are so many people to thank, for so much. I'll sum it up. Thanks Resistance. #ingress #nianticproject #savemisty
Como dijo Einstein, supongo que el siguiente modelo para la cuarta será una piedra.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan of the modern e-tool, if only because the ones I'd used just kept collapsing, to the point where the only option was to cross the threads. Must be the first generation moderns, because I hear they lock better now. Definitely put in a lot of work in Scouting with a Korea/Vietnam era one though!
ReplyDeleteHad ww2, now only present
ReplyDeleteI've had the scouts use these as I had to when I was younger. Never fails to amaze me how "Cool " it is to dig a hole when they are using one of these.
ReplyDeleteI was given a pick axe.
ReplyDeleteThe handle was dated 1941, the head has been replaced many times.
I had an old WWII model - now use the Gerber Gorge
ReplyDeleteI keep a WWII model strapped to my camping backpack.
ReplyDeleteI have mine in the car, use it as a snow shovel when stuck.
ReplyDeleteThat actually doesn't seem like progress. The folding is nice, but I think it's just asking for structural instability.
ReplyDeleteSarah Jean also the weight
ReplyDeleteIf not done well, I'd agree. I beat the hell out of my folder over the last 12 years but it is still holding very well.
ReplyDeleteI've had two folding ones break on me but they were the type that you could open even if it was shut without unscrewing it. That's really cheap
ReplyDeleteReminds me that mine has the ability to have an actual shovel handle inserted into it for those bigger jobs
ReplyDeleteUgh.. E-tools, when we had to use those we didn't, we went looking for an OVM with a real shovel.
ReplyDeleteWhile not sharpened, i'm pretty sure I have one in the emergency pack in my car. It's just a little basic pack, been meaning to flesh it out some make it more respectable.
ReplyDeleteSome of these shovels can have that rubber handle spray applied to certain parts of it to make it have an easier grip. You can also use a bucket of bedliner stuff
ReplyDeleteWe used my Dad's (Korean War era) to dig out the car in Arrowhead after it got buried by the snow plows. Amazingly his still had that cover in halfway decent shape too. It was very handy. Years later we made coffee with the little stove he had from same era while camping in Yosemite.
