THE MOST POPULAR LEATHERMAN EVER!

 

The Leatherman Wave multi-tool is hands down our most popular model, made famous by its outside-accessible blades that can be deployed with just one hand. When we redesigned it in 2004, we gave the new Wave larger knives, stronger pliers, longer wire cutters, and all-locking blades. Perfect for any job, adventure, or everyday task, the Wave multi-tool is an international best-seller.

The best tool I have ever owned...The Leatherman.

 

I have had one of these in my possession since 1990. I have taken them to the field in the Army, Operation Desert Shield/Storm (where I had to sacrifice one), camping, hiking, fishing, biking, and scouting!

 

This little guy can do it all.

 

When my son joined scouting and was going for his Whittling Chit, I bought him one of his very own!

 

As long as they make 'em, I'll own one.

"My Travel Kit" - I have used these cameras and lenses many times while on vacations, and they are my go-to favourites. These represent for me the best of the Canon FD line, in a kit that's not too heavy to cart around.

 

A classic post on photo blogs, here is "What's in my Bag!" This is the photography gear that I'll be bringing with me for a 3 week portfolio building trip in Europe.

I added a couple of gaucho knots with 0.9mm cord over the end strands of the paracord lanyard. stormdrane.blogspot.com/2014/11/abok-802-two-strand-lanya...

The Dunwich Dynamo is a turn-up-and-go challenging free-entry overnight 120 mile bicycle ride on-tarmac from London Fields in Hackney, London to the lovely, lonely Suffolk beach at Dunwich.

 

The event is usually abbreviated to "Dun Run" or "DD".

 

It’s not a race. It’s unsupported. There’s no van following. It’s a long way. It starts at around 20:30 this Saturday evening.

Yes, that's through the night people!

The last time I completed the Dynamo was in 2012, circumstance has prevented me completing it since.

 

A bit of preparation for this year...

Spare tube, puncture kit including latex gloves, pump, lightweight lock, emergency backup LED lights, multitool, paperwork for train and return coach, iPhone for recording ride with Strava, lightweight charger with cable, Peppa Pig tissues, house key with Swiss army knife, camera with spare battery, painkillers, Gore lightweight jacket, resealable bag for money and bank cards, flapjack, 2 energy gels (emergency use only) and a banana.

I have 3 small screw drivers now for my edc knives. One in the leather pouch.

In the Explorer it has all the tools of the other knives except the wood saw, pruning blade of the Alox Farmer and the metal saw and file of my old SAK that I keep in the leather pouch as an edc.

Is my 3rd one with the Hook tool…

The old fish scaler, Fisherman, with ruler was good, that was my first SAK from about 1971 then fell off my belt in the Canberra Parade 16-03-86 with the BFC.

The Pioneer X is the first Pioneer Swiss Army Knife ever to feature a pair of precision scissors. They're perfect for opening packages, snipping string, clipping out articles and so much more. They make an excellent addition to a pocket knife that already includes a versatile steel blade, a sharpened reamer and a host of other functions. And you'll find them all in the same beautifully designed, remarkably durable and exceptionally resilient package that so many people have come to love.

Leatherman Wave New ( Black )

This is what I carry around daily in my bag. Look at the tags for further description. Also include my iPhone, Gshock watch and paracord bracelet which i forgot to put in.

Here is my work keys.

The content is slowly evolving to give me a handy in my pocket tool kit.

 

The gerber clutch is my mini multitool. I haven't had it too long, and it replaced my leatherman Skeletool, which I used to clip onto the keys. The clutch is at least as useful as the skeletool for my job, but is a lot smaller.

I also have an old style wave which lives in my bag, and I carry if I know I need something heavier

 

The Kathmandu torch is handy, but not exciting. One day I hope to find something of similar size, but of a higher class. LED with a push button, small, preferably metal. I haven't tried real hard to find one though.

Reciently the torch has starting being a bit erratic, so i'll be looking for a replacement a bit harder now

Made in China now, bloody hell, what next… got this one after a gentle prompt, “Her in-doors” , didn’t mind if I collected another, so for my new #sakedc in my airpocket will be this 4 layer with all the tools I may need including the very useful magnifying lens. Especially handy while shopping and avoiding those foreign imported products from China…

 

Just found out from Google that CH is not short for China, but....

Why is ch the symbol for Switzerland?

 

See a YouTube demo of this fine edc. youtu.be/N_2egBgKJ-Q?si=aLyZaEatkh1MJ2-A

The Helvetii, a Celtic tribe who battled Julius Caesar, gave their name to the Swiss territory. The Latin name for the country, Helvetia, still appears on Swiss stamps. The letters CH appearing on Swiss cars and in internet addresses stand for the Latin words Confoederatio Helvetica, meaning Swiss Confederation.1 May 2017

  

Checking in to my emails and there was one from Amazon telling me my parcel had been delivered.

Opened it with my Alox 7 pruning knife and admired the finish, & tools, especially the magnifying lens. Then took this shot and then off to the office and set up my collection of SAKs and took a set of photos with the a6000 and a few iPhone shots through the legs of the tripod...

 

Spent the rest of the day adding NOTES, comments, links and images to Groups...

The kit I carry everywhere on my bike. It's all got me out of a few scrapes.

I commute between 100-160k per week by bike, year-round. My commute includes a whacking great hill, so I carry the minimum I need to be able to keep myself moving. I also ride audax/brevet rides occasionally (I've done up to 200k in one day), where there's very minimal support and I'd be totally stuffed if I got stranded halfway around. So I take this whole "able to get home under my own steam" thing pretty seriously.

 

I use a Carradice Barley saddlebag, which stays attached to my bike. This kit mostly goes in the outside pockets, with the main compartment of the bag free for my daily change of clothes or food etc for a longer ride.

 

In rough order:

* Ground Effect "Flash Gordon" bike jacket, in the fetching "Agent Orange" color scheme. I'm in New Zealand, we're in the roaring 40s, and we have a coastal climate: no matter what the weather looks like at 7am, it could always be raining by the end of day, so always carry a jacket. (http://www.groundeffect.co.nz/, made in NZ)

* Fibre Flare tail light

* Topeak Pocket Blaster minipump. I prefer a pump to CO2 canister, because I know I'm not going to run out of air.

* Two (2) spare tubes. Because it's easier to swap to a spare tube than to fix a puncture by the side of the road. And two, just in case.

* Kathmandu LED front light.

* Puncture repair kit - because even carrying two spare tubes, I've sometimes punctured more than twice in a day.

* Topeak Alien multitool.

* Schwalbe tyre levers, set of 3. I've snapped a lot of plastic tyre levers; the Schwalbe are a bit pricier, but are pretty bloody bulletproof so far.

Finally tried outside with a short trip down to the lake, filled only with a spare tube and multitool I really like how it shows.

I had to break down and buy a new knife. I went with the Leatherman Skeletool because I got sick of using the back of my knife blade as a screwdriver.

This was my second try at using the focus stacking technique. Check out the short write up on my first try.

V3 Carabiner by Jens Ansø

Gaucho knot beads made with red 1.4mm cord, paracord bracelet made with gutted cord in two strand wall knots. Clasp is a safety break-away type.

This thing is a beast! A little on the heavy side for belt carry, but will handle just about anything you throw at it. Shown here with a Triple Aught Design S1 pouch, which is an exact fit.

This is everything I'm taking for my Lands End to John O'Groats End to End bike ride next week. I'm setting off tomorrow morning to catch the train from Manchester to Newton Abbot to hang out with Carolyn for a couple of days before heading off on Monday morning for a warm up ride to Lands End where I'm meeting Amit and DJ. We're going to set off on Tuesday morning and zoom up the country in 9 days, stopping off at three B&Bs, our friends Ruth and Matt's house, then our's, on to a B&B, youth hostel, an Inn, DJ's friends Ben and Jess's and then a hotel.

And that doesn't include the water bottles or the snack bars. That takes it up to 5994g. My bike weighs 10.3kg so the total weight is roughly 16.3kg. I'm going to pop that in to the app I'm using so it can more acurately guess my power output from my logs. That's not Dr Gillian McKeith style log anaylsis but track log analysis. I'm going to post the links on a photo as a record of where we've been and how amazingly fast we zoom along :-)

I needed the REAL Leatherman Rebar edc to open the stiff tools and blade…
