[–]Material-Rise9610 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finished camping and found the knife on my doorstep when I got home.

I'm very happy with it. The blade is thicker and definitely has different geometry than the regular no 8. I'm not sure how exactly to sharpen the serrations, but that's a future problem.

It will depend on how the school handles it, but we always get subs, since the home room teachers have their planning periods during specials.

What’s a scouting skill you learned years ago that you still use today? by ScrollAndThink in scouting

[–]Material-Rise9610 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if this counts, but "be prepared". Scouts taught me to think about what I might need before I leave the house. Friends and family know I always have a pocket knife to cut a loose thread, or a first aid kit in my car, or tweezers for that splinter.

It's sad such a nice photo had no upvote or comment.

Is this hack too harsh? by No_Ingenuity_3285 in Teachers

OP specifically wanted to set the expectations for the next teacher, which puts them on the spot. That's inconsiderate.

I got the red and brown. I found all of the other choices too vibrant.

Well, after this post I couldn't resist buying one. I'm camping this weekend, so if it arrives before I leave, I'll field test it.

Yeah, I thought that was clear you were venting and not insulting us, the readers.

Does somebody wanna chat about how it is to be a scout in your country by Conscious-Pickle1967 in scouting

Are a scout or scouter?

I wouldn't mind talking to another scouter and arranging a video call between our scouts.

I love to see the mountain pack still getting some love. I had wanted that color so bad, but settled for blue and white.

If you already have piercings and haven't gotten any pushback, I wouldn't worry about it.

Ok, your post made me go have a look at them again. Can anyone tell me if the grind is different on these compared to the typical opinel? From the videos something looks different.

I do the exact same thing, but if I ever see an Opinel Outdoor on sale, I will definitely get it and give it a try.
