A man after my own heart! (Drunken rant incoming my new friend!)
Loving O-light. Tried the O-bulbs? (That’s the basic model, some are multi-color.) Got 12 of 'em for hanging around my campsite and emergencies, same charger as yours. Give me 12 more and I’d want 100 more.
S2R Baton II on my AR, and despite not being a “weapon light”, or having been bought for that purpose, 1,000+ rounds haven’t shaken it up. Think I saw an ad last week with white bodies again! Couldn’t find one after I bought that a few years ago.
Your Baton looks like a great pocket carry. Been tempted to try one. Got a tiny Wurkkos TS10 last month, love it, hellacious operating system though. And don’t pass on the Nitecore Tube for EDC!
My Seeker 2 is the basically this: https://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/flashlights_2x.png Too heavy for EDC, but if I’m spending time in the woods after dark, it’s a mainstay.
Never had a legit Benchmade. I assume it’s top notch? Never felt rich enough for one. :) I do love me some Kershaw though! The Phillips and flat on the keychain, does that work well? Seems really smart.
My gf (now wife!) turned me onto Casio. She’s Filipina so it’s, “cash-yo”. :) She got me a sweet G-Shock, but the chartreuse band was unspeakably tacky. Got an Army green, “outdoorsy” looking band, wear it for kayaking and hiking. She also gave me a W-215H and I got her the pink version! They’ve taking a beating so far.
Your watch is DOPE! Getting one now. Thank you so much for showing me that, I’m in love! It’s laugh-out-loud funny that a $30 watch can be so tough and practical.
The “wallet” is brilliant. I save every broccoli band. If you want a “fatter” wallet, ever looked at a Trayvax? Can’t find my model ATM, but I felt stupid paying $65 for a wallet. Yeah, it’s a legit BIFL product. I’ve beat that thing to death over the last 4-years, looks brand new. Had a guy tell me he had one of the originals, stretchy bit wore out, factory fixed it, no-questions-asked.
And the bracelet speaks to my punker days in the 80’s. What’s “vegetarian leather”? I am intrigued.
Maybe I should have just made my own post? Anyway, we should be friends.
EDIT: Jesus. Just noted your username. I’ll put whatever in the basket! Please don’t come find me.
That’s a lot to take in lol!
I have a few Benchmades and they’re some of the best knives in my collection, but yeah they are a little overpriced. The Barrage Mini is one of my very favorites of all of my knives though! It’s got the most comfortable handle, and the size makes it very versatile. This one I actually paid extra to have customized in their design shop with Bret “Hitman” Hart colors and it even says “excellence of execution” on the blade because I am a gigantic nerd lol
I never leave the house without that Baton 3! It’s just the right size to not take up too much room in my pocket, and the magnetized base has all kinds of great uses. I recently found a new use for the two way pocket clip! I was waking home from the store after dark and realized if I clipped it pointing down into my shopping bag it turns it into a bag shaped lantern lol
I have beat this watch to hell in the last 3 years but you can barely tell. It’s ended up underwater on a number of occasions and never had any issues!
I don’t know what they make vegetarian leather out of, but it feels just like real leather to me, is a fraction of the price, and holds up a pretty long time. Real leather would probably be a little more durable, but that shits expensive lol
