    Actually, I have four, but I will be showing only two: my Osprey 38 L backpack and my Marmot Limelight 3P tent.
    The other two not shown is my platypus water purification system and my Jet Boil, the all purpose fire on the spot backpacking burner.

    Not the fanciest thing I have but I have used this for 30+ years.  Since I "Borrowed" it from my Dad.  My father recently passed and I misplaced it for a week or so right about that time- really hurt to lose him and his Channel Locks.


    I "borrowed" some old school vise grips from my pops years ago, used them today.

    This Metrinch set I bought as a teen has gotten me out of so many jams, worth every single penny.  Using it today prepping and painting a room after getting a free king bedroom set from a buddy.  

    Same with this retired crash cart I got for free from my maintenance buddy Bill at the hospital RIP.  Not the fanciest, but all ball bearings, and the MotherFocker works.

    I can relate! Here is the S-K socket set my late Grandmother gave me as a graduation gift from high school way back in 1962 or 55 years ago! In all this time I only lost one socket which I have since replaced.

    The underwear is a nice touch.  Is that worse than a dirty fork?

    I don't think I've ever seen a pix of a set of wrenches with a pair of "tighty whities".

    Thanks for sharing. :)

    Hey man, they come in handy as shop rags.

    Is that what they're calling a strap-on these days? :)

    I saw the MAPP vs. Butane thread and reminded me I needed to add this...my favorite "fire starter".

    XM42 flamethrower. I use it for...well, nothing valid. I'm perpetually 13 years old. But we clear overgrown thickets and do controlled burns with it so?? Kind of a tool.

    Those should be crotchless...but from age not intent.
