It is an all too common situation - you fancy a beer, take a bottle from the fridge and then have to search for the bottle opener. Worse still, you take a few bottles with you on a picnic and damn – you’ve left the opener at home along with your multitool.
The crown cap is an excellent way to keep the contents of a bottle fresh and to stop the gas escaping. There are ways to remove one without the correct tool but they all have an element of risk to them and you often end up with a bruised hand or a broken bottle whichever way you try.
Now, San Miguel has come up with an ingenious solution to the problem with a cap that both seals the bottle and is easy to remove. Just pull the green tab and the cap comes away with very little force. ¿Quieres una botella de cerveza – abre facil?

The MacGyver multi-tool, nuff said. Thanks to coworker Nathan Swanson. Would be interested in whomever made this, so I can give proper credit.
My pocket in my pocket, to hold things in reserve that don't need to be pulled out right away from the rest of the pocket, and its holdings. I like to think I have Coyote in my pocket, but he might not like to think so, though he looks happy for now.
Some time ago Frida (yo, go and check her photostream!) asked me for this. I don't really do such things, but since she shared some funny things about herself I decided to give it a try. So, ladies and gentleman, here it is. 16 weird things you didn't know about me. Enjoy! :-)
0. I always carry a multitool or a knife. Or both. First, I like these things. Second - I really find them useful.
1. My phone is big as a brick. Everyone who sees it thinks so. But it's just a smartphone with lots of useful features. And I don't mind it's weight or size.
2. My favourite sketch is Monty Python's Dead Parrot. I laugh my head off every time I see it! ;)
3. I would definitely prefer to have a 50 years old TLR with some magnificent optics (say, Hasselblad, Rollei) than a newest and coolest digital SLR. It's not that I like TLR over SLR, I just love old cameras!
4. My desk at work is almost empty. I lock everything in the drawers when I go home. It's not my company policy, I just like to have my desk clean and tidy. 100% contrary to my desk at home.... :D
5. My first car was a Trabant. It was already old when I got it, it was noisy, looked not really good. But I liked that car very much. Some stupid Corsa driver "just didn't see me" when I was waiting on the red light and suddenly my beloved car was history. :(
6. I can't imagine a week without chocolate. And bitter is my favourite!
7. I can leave home without my wallet, without my phone. But I feel like I was naked without my watch.
8. I would like to learn to dance perfectly some day.
9. When I'm angry I curse and swear a lot. But fortunately, a whole lot more in my mind than aloud. ;)
A. I would like to learn Russian some day. Not that I see any practical use of it for me in particular, but I'd like to, just for fun.
B. I still have a dream from my childhood - I want to be a pilot. Not an airline one, but just having my own a plane and being able to fly it whenever I want.
C. Some day I might go back to learning to play harmonica once again.
D. I'm a solitaire by nature. I do like people's company but sometimes I just get tired of it. Also, when I do something important I'd rather be alone.
E. Obligatory musical taste info: my favourite bands are Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin and Iron Maiden.
F. I do not owe a TV, by choice. I watch TV only when I'm on vacation and there is a tv set in a hotel room.
1.3713. With the usual instructions on how to use the can opener, which we never will use, and the wood saw and usual excellent required scissors.
No instructions on how to use the scissors or the wood saw!
The Huntsman is similar to the Fieldmaster which has the more useful Phillips head screwdriver rather than the seldom-used corkscrew, since all our wines now had screwcaps...
If I had known that, I may have bought the Fieldmaster at the same price on eBay or Amazon.

With the toothpick labelled and a paper clip screwed into the corkscrew and a pin pushed into the rather tight hole...
see onscreen NOTES...
I look forward to cutting up our firewood next camping trip, LOL...
I always just break it or break large sticks under the wheel of Smoky or in the 'roo bar or towbar. Actually, I never required a SAK on our travels that I can remember!
See the Limited Edition #3627 Damast below with less tools and no small blade, corkscrew, toothpick or Tweezers!!!!

There is even a Huntsman Lite, see p116 I the Victorinox Book..
The Victorinox Huntsman is one of the most popular Victorinox Swiss Army Knives, after the #SAKSpartan. (Which was just delivered from Amazon, 27-09-24)
The wood saw and scissors combined with the two standard knife blades and openers, equips the Huntsman with the most popular tools and the ability to handle most cutting chores.
This tool configuration has been manufactured in different forms and sizes for well over a hundred years. At one stage a similar tool configuration to the Huntsman used the Woodsman name - See History below.
The Rainier model/variation was a Huntsman with a partially serrated blade (See Variations below) - This model is no longer available.
The Special Service Rifle 63 is a modernized version of the SR53 created in 1963. This weapon is purpose-built for the Shedim legions, with all of the upgrades created from their input.
Instead of backup ironsights, it has a reflex sight ontop of the 3.5x magnification scope. The weapon also has a clip-on nightvision scope attached to it, enabling the warriors to operate in complete darkness. The silencer, 40mm grenade launcher and the extra front rails can all be removed in the field with a multitool by unscrewing a few screws.
As with the earlier model, the ejection port is in the rear of the weapon, where a chunk of the lower support tube has been carved out on the left side to allow casings to fall without creating too much noise. The sights for the UGL are on the left side for ease of use.
Specs:
Caliber: 5.56x45 Israeli, 40mm grenades
Range: ~600m
Magazine capacity: 30 rounds
Credit to bowlingdude47 for his P90.
This is probably the fanciest gun I've ever created, .7 or not.
Done for the Macro Mondays "Members Choice - Metal" theme. Invented by Timothy S. Leatherman in 1983, this amazing multi-tool was 8 years in its development. Since then, the Leatherman with its variety of fold out tools, has sold over 30 million units worldwide.
The tool in the image above is one of the older, original versions, given to me by my son. The scale is about 3x life size.

Happy Macro Monday!
I replaced my old icon photo that was taken in 2003. This is what I look like when I head out on the trail these days. The thing around my neck is my homemade aspirator (aka "pooter") for sucking bugs into an in-line container. Since I spend so much time down on my knees looking for beetles I consider knee pads essential. Rubber boots are a necessity in the cloud forest. My belt pouch is full of collecting vials, 100% DEET, a white plastic collecting sheet, various small hand tools. The belt also holds water bottle, canister of powerful bear spray, binoculars, flashlight, multitool, and, once I find it in my luggage, a hatchet. Lunch and rain wear is in a separate bag.

MM June 3, 2013 - TV Shows
Secret agent MacGyver prefers his Swiss Army knife and duct tape to solve all the sticky situations he finds himself getting into. I never watched the show myself and only really know about it from the SNL spoofs.
I'm now away from home and away from my usual Nikon with it's macro lens (and my Swiss Army knife and duct tape). For the next ~8 weeks I'll be re-learning my P&S Sony.

Sam Walton custom folding pocket knife.
Had packed up most of my gadget drawer things for upcoming move, but when going through some totes looking for paracord/accessories for a knot project, I came across this one and pocketed it.
I'd only kept my Leatherman Juice Pro to EDC (everyday carry) since packing things up within the last couple of months and was missing having a one-hand opening knife for quick tasks, although the multitool still gets used frequently.
The loop of paracord is tied with a two-strand stopper knot www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncakEc7WAT8 and cow/ring/girth hitched onto one of the spacing pillars of the knife since it doesn't have a lanyard hole.
Red 1.4mm cord was used to tie the three pass gaucho interweave knot around a wooden lanyard bead.
For those wondering who this Sam Walton custom knife maker is, it's just a play on a name with Walton being the Walmart founder, where this budget friendly edc folder can be found in the sporting goods department.

"Ready for anything, captain!"
My most used multitool, the Leatherman Skeletool CX. I've had it since high school, and it still works fanstically. Scalloped 154cm steel blade maintains a sharp edge, even after years of abuse and use. Definitely better than the regular 420 steel that most other knives are made with.

Pictured are a leather sheath, mini 1/4" ratchet driver, extension and bit kit with the Spirit X below.
Eddie Bauer edition Wenger Traveler SAK being carried for Wenger Wednesday. I file worked the main blade spine with diamond needle files, decorative and useful by providing a bit of extra grip for thumb or forefinger on the back of the blade (main blade locks on this model).
Other onboard tools include can opener, bottle opener with standard screwdriver tip, nail file/cleaner, tweezers, toothpick, awl, corkscrew with added Victorinox mini screwdriver, scissors, and keyring/split ring for attachment options.
I used a scrap length of latigo leather lace for the lanyard/fob loop and added the wooden bead with leather herringbone knot.
Victorinox bought out Wenger a while back, so Wenger branded knives are becoming scarce, but some models are still produced, just with the Victorinox branding and shield now. Used/confiscated and new old stock might still be found on ebay and some buy/sell/trade sections of some forums...
I got some nice waxed canvas and made a tool roll as an afternoon project. The design is heavily influenced by (i.e. copied from) the tool rolls from Bike Burrito.
Awhile ago, I bought a Leatherman Wave to replace the Leatherman PST II, one of the items I lost in a break-in of my car. The Wave is a much better tool. The 2 knife blades are vastly better than the single blade of the PST II, the plier handles are more comfortable, and the changeable bits seems like a nice idea. For me, the PST II was borderline to carry in a pocket, but the Wave crosses the line and is much too bulky and heavy, so a sheath is the way for me. Unfortunately, mine came with a crappy nylon/velcro sheath that was pretty much worn out in just a few weeks. On the Leatherman web site, among the accessories they sell are sheaths, and they are pretty cheap. I bought a full leather one and a combo nylon/leather, and I'm happiest with the nylon/leather version (though I think it could be better).

Yes, another picture of a leatherman. It's a different one this time though! And it was dark when I came home again. So sue me :/
SB-600 through softbox directly behind subject as white background because I didn't have any paper
SB-600 through umbrella above said softbox behind subject for key
SB-700 through mini-softbox camera left dialed down to nothing to fill in a couple areas in the front
Getting a better at knowing what I want to do and then doing it (per off camera flashes) vs "oh hey lets put all these lights up and shoot them at the thing and hope for the best yay!"
Which is really the goal of these sort of self-imposed photo challenges isn't it.
Playing around with my new camera I got today (Canon SX100). Big upgrade from my old dinosaur of a camera(3.2MP Olympus). What I like about the camera is that it gives you manual controls, raw file support via chdk and big optical zoom capability in a compact body (compared to DSLRs anyway). I have yet to learn the manual controls
What I noticed today was that I could get much closer to the subject in macro shots now (see above) and the image stabilization means I don't have to use a tripod as much, I don't get the blur that was much more common before. Yeah I know it's a pretty common feature on today's cameras. I've finally stopped living in the stone age!
