This Franked mail box is opened at dinnertime by myself and closed again at night after the last collection.
To open it, you open the door and a catch under the chute is released at night the catch is locked which locks the chute.
I opened it yesterday and whilst i was doing my round a customer said that they had tried to post Franked mail the night before but the chute would not open, i went back to the box i had just opened to see if it was ok but the chute was stuck.
on investigation the catch had been bent somehow, i manage to get it working with the help of my Leatherman multitool.
This morning i took a proper pair of pliers and some WD 40 I fixed the catch properly
I oiled it now it works like a dream.
Gerber Shards with 7 lead 6 bight Turk's head knots, tripled, Leatherman Brewzer with gaucho interweave knot, and Kershaw tool with a Spanish ring knot, tied with 09mm cord.
Savage Bushcraft Wood Wasp (designed by me in cooperation with the maker). A large heavy duty full-tang knife, large and sturdy enough to be a "one tool option" if needed be.
Opinel No.8 carbon steel folding knife. Sharpened to a razor sharp edge, for smaller tasks like whitteling and removing splinters :) The back of the blade is, when the knife is closed, a very effective - and safe – striker for firesteels/ferro rods.
Leatherman Wave. A large high quality multitool, not an absolute necessity, but very nice to have.
EKA Combi Saw Viking 17”. A folding three-blade saw (wood, dry wood/bone, metal). A lot more versatile than a normal folding saw; slighgtly larger in your pack but not heavier. Especially in the winter, being able to cut down dead standing trees for firewood is essential. In the summertime, for shorter treks, I may bring my smaller Bacho Laplander saw instead.
Gränsfors Bruks Small Forest Axe. A medium sized axe ideal for Scandinavian woodland, especially in the winter, where the extra heft is essential when splitting frozen wood and the extra reach is important when chopping down spruce boughs for shelter. Again; in the summertime, for shorter treks, I may substitute the axe with my 8” Knivsmed Strømeng Leuku.
Knot tying friend Manuel Zambrano designed and sent me this paracord lanyard, that he's named as the MZ550, which has loops on each side of the knot, and is adjustable.
I adjusted the length and made a cat's paw on one end and slipped on a split ring, and added some edc items. www.facebook.com/manuel.zambrano.39750?fref=ts

A long two bight Turk's head paracord lanyard
A doubled up ungutted navy blue strand of paracord with gutted orange paracord over that, tied in a 145 lead 2 bight Turk's head knot, loop at one end, swivel clip at the other, shown attached to my Leatherman Wave multitool.
It's a long lanyard at almost 3', but I like being able to use it with arm outstretched, and it doesn't hit the ground if I let go when it's attached to my belt or belt loop.
The swivel clip was from a friend a few years ago, do not know where he bought it. stormdrane.blogspot.com/2016/08/a-light-and-capsule.html

I am a college student studying Japanese. I commute via bus and train approximately 90 minutes both ways every school day. I spend all my free time watching anime, playing video games, and translating stuff. ...And apparently disassembling my bag and taking pictures of it.
I use a custom-made small Laptop Messenger by Timbuk2. It provides a nice compact and stylish solution for carrying everything I need, and has plenty of pockets and organizers to keep things tidy and easy to find. I have used a medium Timbuk2 bag in the past and it was huge. I don't recommend anything bigger than a small, if your laptop fits.
I used to carry around a Grid-It, which, don't get me wrong, Grid-It is a great organization tool, but it adds a lot of weight and bulk. Short cords and cutting out unnecessary items allowed me to ditch it entirely. Now I use it for organizing cords in my house.
Here's what I carry around:
1. A very rudimentary first aid / comfort kit with bandages, Q-tips, ibuprofen, and cough drops.
2. A bag with larger bags for extra protection from rain if needed, smashed flat and airtight for size.
3. Some extra cash for if I forget my wallet and need bus fare etc.
4. Snacks and gum for long days at school, hours away from home.
5. I always keep a Japanese book around, for when the reading mood strikes.
6. Macbook Pro w/Retina. Very compact, durable and powerful. Runs on battery for hours on end, no problem. This is where I keep almost all of my schoolwork, as well as some translation projects during downtime.
7. Nalgene water bottle, 20oz OTF cap. It's a little taller than I would like for my semi-new bag, but it's perfect in every way besides that.
8. Physical folder with yucky tree-paper. You know, for behind-the-times instructors. I keep a few sheets of lined paper in the three-hole brads just in case.
9. Microfiber cloth for cleaning screens and occasionally the blade of my knife.
10. Dry-erase marker (an easy way to score points with a teacher who forgot theirs) a couple pens (for those awful times I must use paper) and a pencil (nearly exclusively for marking problem words in Japanese book)
11. Eraser... In case I need to erase something? I guess I could probably leave this behind, but it's small, so whatever.
12. Leatherman Micra. Mostly used for its scissors. I'm sure nobody will disupte the usefulness of having a multitool around.
13. USB wall charger. I'm working on finding a smaller one, or one of equivalent size with 2 ports. Right now it feels like it uses more space than it's worth. To the left of it are my tiny cords. No tangles, no added bulk. Just what I need. I had to make the 3DS one myself with heat shrink tube.
14. Small backup charger. I rarely need to recharge something over the course of the day. I keep my phone optimized and don't use it very much. This charger has saved me a couple times though.
15. Micro SD adapter, which I haven't needed once since I switched from Android to iPhone, but it takes up so little space, I don't mind keeping it around.
16. Backup earphones, because God forbid I socialize.
17. 3DS, and a Japanese one at that! I can practice while I play.
All of this stuff fits into my bag, with plenty of room to spare for textbooks, gym clothes, or whatever else I need. The bag has compression straps, which keep it small when I need it small, and can even be used to carry a rolled up jacket underneath when the weather suddenly gets warm.
My pockets:
a. Earphones. I go for 40-50 dollar headphones, to balance desposability with sound quality.
b. Keys. My house is a couple miles from the train station, so I drive there. Keychain has a bottle opener and my main flash drive.
c. Spyderco Endura4 pocket knife. I used to think carrying around a knife is a stupid, macho thing to do, and I could definitely live without it, but it's an amazing tool, and I relish every chance I get to use it.
d. A pen, because sometimes you've gotta write stuff, and, much like the knife, it's really nice to just have one on you at all times.
e. iPhone. I used to be an Android advocate, but all my past Android phones just seem like garbage after carrying around an iPhone for a while.
f. Mighty Wallet, a very compact wallet, with no more or less compartments than I need.
This is my current touring tool kit. The sugino crank tool was filed down to fit the 15mm wrench which fits both axles and the pedals. A 12mm socket which fits the pedals was filed to fit on the end of the 10mm hex key which fits the shimano cassette. The bottom bracket tool was filed down to fit in the 12 inch wrench, A chuck was removed from a drill there is both types of screwdrivers and a T20 torx that fit in it also a universal drill bit. There is a 8mm 9mm and 10mm socket that fit on a 6mm hex key these came from a multitool that has long since broke. There is a round chainsaw file and a Smith and Wesson diamond file.
Leatherman.
don't get the keychain, mini or ones with plastic colored handles.
if it's not heavy, grey and can hurt you, you probably have the wrong one.
this one has sawing knife for rope, a finer knife for cutting filament, screwdriver, wire cutters, pliers. and optional bit-kit.
Leatherman 830160 Surge Pocket Multitool with Leather Sheath
i also like the Gerber multi-tools as well.
This is the contents of my Fatboy, Pygmy Falcon II and Spec Ops Pack Rat. There's some stuff not included like my Maxped EDC Organiser and contents. I don't carry that many knives or multitools it's just what happened to be in the bags. I will normally have one multitool and one knife.
I did this primarily to get it altogether to decide what to keep where.
I geocache with my Fatboy but want to at least mirror the contents of my Fatboy in my new Pygmy Falcon II for longer treks.
Good thing with the Maxped EDC Organiser is that it can be transferred between the two.
Once I decide on where all these things should live I'll post an update.
A friend sent me this Fury marlin spike multitool. A 6 lead 5 bight turks head knot is tied over a wooden bead with black and red 1.4mm nylon cord, used as a sliding adjustment knot for the paracord wrist lanyard...
Basic survival knife set. Mora 2000 knife in custom kydex sheath with firesteel in it´s loop and leather pocket attached with 2m of paracord. Wenger multitool inside of pocket.
Over the past year, my LEGO-building hobby has been augmented by a new hobby: EDC (Every Day Carry) gear. I color code some of my gear (Mini Grip, Watchmen pin, phone background) to match my work uniform. The item I use the most at work would probably be my cheapo-multitool, and the item I use the least would be the Zippo (I don't smoke, but I carry it around for sentimental reasons). I am continually expanding and switching-up my EDC items to give myself the greatest flexibility at home, outside of the house, and at work. I would encourage others to try EDCing similar items...you'd be amazed at how useful they can be!
This is the single longest knotting project I've done, taking a lot of hours(9+) to complete. I don't see myself spending that much time on one project anytime soon.
The decorative knot is a 109 lead by 4 bight turks head knot, made with 1.4mm tan and black nylon cord, over 60 total feet worth. About 6 feet of black paracord for the core, with a loop and lanyard knot on one end, and a swivel clip/snap hood with lanyard knot on the other end.
I tied the long 4 bight turks head on a rifle cleaning rod, which is about 30 inches long, and after tightening, the knot was down to about 24 inches long, when I slid it off the cleaning rod, and pulled the loop of paracord through it.
Hadn't tied one in a while, so whipped up a simple adjustable wrist loop lanyard. Video tutorial link: youtu.be/3-C_WPjPiK0
I believe this is Atwood 275 paracord (3/32" diameter), but didn't keep the sticky label around to remind me, lol...
Dad warned me about these cacti. He told the story of his road trip with mom across the southwest in the 70s, and how they came across these unforgiving cacti. Mom noticed a beautiful flower and put her finger out to touch it. A jumping cactus like this one latched onto her finger and wouldn't let go. She got histerical and cried for dad to take it off. Dad wisely got some newspaper and slowly pulled it off to avoid getting stuck himself.
In my case, I didn't know what the "jumping cactus" actually looked like, so when I saw a few roundish cacti on the ground like this one, I was curious. I carefully grabbed one of the spines to get a better look at it. The crazy part was, and the reason they get their name, another nearby spine stuck into my finger. It just got worse from there.
Natural reaction to sudden pain is to pull away, but because the spines have microscopic barbs and tips that curve on contact with moisture from the underlayer of your skin, the spine stuck into me and stayed in. So when I pulled away, the spines held on, and the rest of the cactus swung back into my hand, sticking even more spines into my palm and fingers.
To get the spines out, you really need pliers or a multitool. I had neither, so I used two sturdy sticks to pry the spines out of my skin one-by-one. A painfully messy experience.
