Lantern and Leatherman

The #FlickFriday challenge this week is #Toolkit. I instantly thought of my Leatherman. I’m probably the least handy guy you know but I love this thing. I believe it’s the original design and I've been carrying this one for around 40 years. (Long enough to wear out 3 leather, belt holsters.) I have a few of the other models, more modern ones, but I still carry this original every day.

 

Anyway, it was a foggy morning on Monte Sano so while I waited around to see if the sunrise would show through the fog (It didn’t) I pulled the old red lantern out of the truck, fired it up and started photographing the Leatherman.

 

By the way, the guy that invented this thing — that’s his name: Leatherman. Tim Leatherman. I always figured he had something to with leather but, nope, he’s a mechanical engineer out of Portland, Oregon that just had an idea.
